Ihad the chance to watch the inaugural program of the newly-proclaimed president of our country, Benigno Aquino III, or more commonly known as Noynoy to the masses. The excerpt above was mentioned by his excellency during the early stages of his speech. Even though it’s not the crux of the speech, I could easily relate to what he said, for I myself experienced it. “Ako rin…”.
Isn’t it a bitch to be kept waiting at an intersection, waiting for the light to turn green just to follow the rules and be a good citizen, only to be cut by another vehicle with sirens blaring for no emergency reason at all? It’s quite understandable if it’s an ambulance, or a fire truck, or any sort of emergency. But if it’s main purpose is only to avoid being held up, then to hell with them and back.
I think president noynoy issued a memo for the “wang-wang” issue but, after being locked in a traffic jam in EDSA, has gone to revise some issues in the memo. Ah well…
Enough with the siren-horse-shit. A new president being proclaimed has to inspire hope somehow. Despite the everyday hardship and the promises being continuously broken, we filipinos never loses hope. I guess we are resilient by nature and it’s among our strength as a nation. Now with a new administration governing our country, we again hold that hope that this time around the people in power would strive for the people, and not for themselves.
Unity towards prosperity – it’s what we need to battle poverty according to President Noynoy. I won’t enumerate all the things he said in his speech. But let me tell you that it’s all for the good of the people. I, as a citizen, can’t help but hope that those promises would be made into reality, and not just go down the drain like it did with past administrations.
Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap. It’s one of the credo of the Aquino
