In this world where there are different kinds of government, the Philippine democratic government made another history for the world to see. People are judgemental, no doubt. The anticipation of each citizen in a particular country are very inevitable when it comes to government and how it is being managed by a powerful official, hence, presidents play a very important role here. The diversity of people’s perception towards a country’s government is very keen that government officials are conscious about the impression of people towards them.
Philippines, a democratic country, which has a population that is pertinently putting their focus about the improvement of the Republic of the Philippines came to a conclustion that they need to answer the country’s controversial question.. can this 15th president produce a major change for the betterment of the country? In the succeeding years of the president's regime, people will see if the question can be answered by a yes, a no or.. an I don’t know.
Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines inaugurated his reign on 29th of June, 2010. He was very joyful and enthusiastic about the ceremony and to make sure that the citizens could witness another history, the officials declared the particular day, a holiday. His family, relatives, friends and even his family’s closest celebrities came to the venue, Quirino Grandstand, to witness hi’s official beginning to serve the country. On that day, as I was watching the ceremony through ABS-CBN Live telecast, I can see it in his face that he was full of hopes that his reign will be transitory since he’s an offspring of the late previous presidents, Cory Aquino and Benigno Aquino II.
While he was waiting for 12 noon for his oath taking, Philippine musicians and singers performed and serenaded the people and the presidents to make the ceremony more agog of the presidents words. It was apparently entertaining since the people were singing along and dancing happily. The people’s delegated president finally delivered his speech. People were applauding the whole time as he delivered his speech, sentence by sentence because it seems very realistic and not deceiving. Of course, it’s a-must and very easy for a president to deliver that kind of speech to make a good impression to people but is it also easy to deliver the speech by action? We don’t know. Unless we look at the future and evaluate Noynoy’s actions and contributions. I want a change, a huge and the best change for my country and im expecting the president to be very volitional in carrying out his service. Some people (adults and old people) said right after his speech that it was elusive, like they don’t understand the whole concept. Is it because they just don’t like the president and they didn’t vote for him or is it because that they know Noynoy and family Aquino’s history of deceiving people. I could care less, as long as Noynoy took a big leap in changing himself, he’d carry out his service well without dictations by moronic people around him. I believed in his speech and I was thinking to myself, no president would ever constrain his/her country for the sake of own’s benefits. Even if Noynoy will be a corruptive president in the next succeeding years, im sure he’d still do his best to give it all back to the people. It is highly hypocritical for a president to say that they don’t take even 1% of the total taxes. If Noynoy do that, im pretty sure he’d compromise and it’s a matter of give and take and he wouldn’t compel the people because of his selfishness.
Let’s just hope that this country will be successful and there’s harmony that will surround everybody to live in peace and to live a hope of a better country and better economy.
