He's not a saint, ya know

With father as a modern hero and a mother as the icon of democracy, certainly Noynoy Aquino can not escape issues from the surveillance camera-like eyes of the Filipino people.

When he ran for president, many had raised their brows, doubting his skills as a potential president. They said that he's not ready for this big responsibility, hilaw nga, ika nila. But his followers' support prevailed. Many believed in his campaign slogan: Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap. And now, he is the President of the 15th Republic of the Philippines.

Few days before his oath-taking, Filipinos are still in doubt if Noynoy can fulfill his duties as the new President. But the Inauguration Day itself was full of hopes. Hopes for President Noynoy Aquino that he will change the fate of the people; that he will provide justice to those who have been victimized by the corrupt minds of some people; that he will lead the country into the right path; and that he will continue his parents' legacy.

Yes, while listening to P-Noy's Inauguration Speech, I can't help but be swayed by this trend hopes as well. He moved me further and made me realize that he's the right person for this highest position. In order to move the Philippines, I must remove my doubt and place it with trust; I must avoid making negative criticisms when I do not do anything for a task/activity/program of the government; I must restore my faith that the six-year governance of P-Noy can do a lot of changes. It is too primitive to judge his administration but it is not too primitive to give the government a hand in order for the country to progress. A hand when combined with another and with another and so on builds a nation that is formidable.

Yes, President Noynoy Aquino is not a saint but at least he's a transparent person who allows feedback mechanism not only from the public and private sectors but to the commoners as well. Let's put our best foot forward as we take another historical journey.
