    “A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way”. This is the definition of being a good leader according to John Maxwell. For me, I'm sure that bold leader like him, was a kind of leader that our country must have. Because of what I’m seeing right now, the people is not afraid anymore to commit crimes, to commit corruption or theft, and I believe that there is someone who can only stop these. And there's only one kind of person that can halt these, and it is a leader who can make his people follow him and can make bold action against it. Among the presidential candidate, only Duterte had these traits and has the enough experience to govern our country well.…

He is the fourth among six siblings in which his mother had to raise by herself starting from the time Pacquiao was in sixth grade due to marriage separation (Chua-Eoan par. 4). This affected Pacquiao in a way that forced him to leave home at the age of 14 and drop out of high school due to poverty and his mother not making enough money to support the family (Chua-Eoan par. 8). He moved to Manila and lived, at a time, on the streets (Chua-Eoan par. 8). He started boxing and soon enough made the Philippine national amateur boxing team. He was just sixteen years of age when he began his professional boxing career (Chua-Eoan par.11).

    On June 30th, 2010, the new President of The Philippines, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III was inaugurated following an election victory that was as decisive as it was, just a couple of months before, unexpected. Noynoy Aquino was as reluctant a candidate as he was popular, being a first-term Senator and the son of Liberal Party Senator Ninoy Aquino, who was famously assassinated, very likely at the instructions of then dictator Ferdinand Marcos, in1983 upon his return at the airport that is now named after him, which caused the people’s uprising that brought Ninoy’s widow (and Noynoy’s mother) Corazon “Cory” Aquino to the Presidency in 1986 and by the way was of great influence to other democratic revolutions across the world in the late 1980s including Latin America and eastern Europe.…

    INTRODUCTION “Tuwid na Daan” or the Straight Path is a phrase repeatedly mentioned by President Benigno S. Aquino III to pertain to his governance direction for the country. Essential to this concept of “Tuwid na Daan” is the battle cry “Kung Walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap.” The administration believes that corruption is the root cause of the country‘s woes, and eliminating corruption will necessarily lead to renewed investor confidence, eventual growth and development, poverty reduction, and attainment of peace. The straight path, however, does not only pertain to the President‘s anti-corruption campaign. It also encompasses a way of doing things right, where the process is participatory; the programs are holistic; growth is sustained; the peace policy is comprehensive; and development is sustainable. Through the living examples of our leaders, led by the President, this re-awakened sense of right and wrong continues to be translated to economic value. It is in this light that the accomplishments of the Aquino Administration, since the first State of the Nation Address (SONA) in July 2010, are being highlighted: A. GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ANTI-CORRUPTION Taking the initial step in the achievement of ―Kung Walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap‖, where eradicating corruption is seen as the key approach to development, President Aquino laid the foundations for a clean, transparent, and responsive government. Key reforms continue to be instituted to reduce red tape, enforce anti-corruption and anti-red tape laws, and penalize those who violate these laws. The government is also fixing the incentive structures to recognize merit and reward good performance with the aim of ensuring the sustainability of the Aquino reform agenda. These and other initiatives are presented below: 1. Institutionalizing Public Accountability 1.1. Reforming the budgeting and project identification processes 1.1.1. Government‘s prudent expenditure…

    He proudly said that the Philippines is now the creditor, and no more the debtor. Based on the data from DSWD millions of children were already vaccinated against diarrhea, polio, measles, and various other diseases. Also the number of students’ no longer need to miss school because of poverty was increased. Well, that was very good news! Now, there were many students who can go to school and can continue their studies… So, in the future these students can help their families, especially financial status. Millions of poorest members of PhilHealth can now enter any government hospital with free of charge, just to show their membership card. That was good, so now, many patients have the possibility to survive on whatever disease they have or whatever accident they have encountered. But based on my opinion, what if those patients or that certain patient is/are bad person? Maybe it must be better if they died than to survive because they may cause more trouble on some people.…
