He was the only son of the 2 most powerful, symbol of Philippine freedom, citizens of my country. He has an influential sister in showbiz. After the death of his mother, the noisy mass nudged him to run for president with the belief that he brings “true freedom”. He waited 40 days, spent time confined in a convent with nuns, and declared to run for president after that.
Sen. Noynoy Aquino is now a household name. Local politicians woo him so he’ll take them under his wings. The masses look up to him as their beacon of hope with the thought that he’ll take them out of poverty. That would be a lot of work for Noynoy if he actually does that.
I believe that this man has good intentions for the country and that he has a whole lot of potential when he becomes president, given the chance that he does. Its just surreal how he is packaged. Reminds me of how fiery the campaign for Pres. Obama was when he was still running. Actually as a senator, what has Noynoy proven? Maybe a lot, maybe none, he always gets the senatorial seat during elections or just as i said at first, he is a household name.
Noynoy still has a lot to prove, but more than anything else we, the filipinos still has a lot to do. We dont need a single person to raise us out of poverty, cause if only the people had the drive from the start, we dont need to wait for every president elect to bring progress to our country. They are the instruments, we make it happen.
There’s still a few more months before election but thats the only things our politicians can think of right now. There’s still more work to be done, more people to educate and more to learn from the next line of leaders.
Do your research.
I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again: whoever’s behind Noynoy’s campaign knows the meaning of ‘hype’. He’s merely riding on his parents’ accomplishments, which is a sad, sad way to go. I think people want to believe that because he’s an Aquino, he’ll make a fantastic leader. But then, so is Kris – what does that tell you?
I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes, though. It’s hard enough to make something out of one’s self, and it’s a hell of a lot harder when one has to do so when his own parents have done so much.
To be the son of a great man (and in this case, a great woman, too) is a cruel honor, and I feel sorry for the man who has to suffer such a fate.
so so true ma, those noisy masses really rode this “Aquino for President” wave well. I pity him if he succeeds cause unlike Mar or Manny V. (no i’m not rooting for any of them, maybe Mar for VP), he has no millions and somehow someway these help give would also ask help in return. how is he gonna pay for that? the opposition is truly broken, i just hope the people see this irrational sensationalism and see who can truly serve the country well.
bantay-bantay lang…
Aside from the hype and the long list of celebrities endorsing their candidacy, I find little to compare between Noynoy and Obama. I think what differs them the most is when Obama appeared on the spotlight, he had already laid out his plans for the United States and how he wants to change it for the better. Not much can be said on whether he’s accomplished as much as he promised, but from the beginning, he offered concrete alternatives for the people to decide on.
What Noynoy and his camp offer is a “miracle,” and unless they plan on showing the country how he plans on achieving those “miracles,” I remain unconvinced that he is what this country at all.
Though truth be told, though, I’m inclined to vote for him, just to stop Erap and his maniacal plans in its tracks. That’s Philippine politics for you.
