Inspiring Change

Inspiring Change




Welcome to the new Philippines, where the high and mighty share the misery on the road of the lowly and helpless. No sirens, no blinkers. All are equal on Manila’s narrow and congested streets.
   
President Benigno Aquino III is tearing down the old order, characterized by the display of wealth, power, and self-importance by a few who became more arrogant under the rule of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. 

On May 10, when the poor and not so poor-the millions and millions of little people she and her class pouted at-trashed her official candidate, and his backup, and gave MalacaƱang to the new Man of the Masses-Aquino.
    
Peeling away from his entourage for a plate of pork cracklings? Aquino may be the heir to one of the wealthiest families in the Philippines but, like Ramon Magsaysay 57 years before him, he has the ways and taste of ordinary citizens, which he is not embarrassed to show even now that he is already president.

It is a good start for the government of public servants that Aquino is erecting in place of the government of self-servants that has just ended. He has six years to perfect it while righting nine years of social injustice, completing land reform that his mother introduced 22 years ago, trimming unemployment from 8 percent to zero, rescuing 35 million people from hunger, and bringing back home 10 million more from self-imposed economic exile-all by the end of his term.

Can government change? The answer is obviously yes. That’s what PNoy aimed to his government. Public trust in the PNoy administration is too high. He promised a reformation for his government, and he has the inspiration for changes.
     
PNoy needs a coherent fundamental reform to set a direction for the government and to produce structural changes rather than just endless reallocation among all the usual suspects.
    
 The preeminent factor that will lead for changes is in attitude toward government officials which are belong to  PNoy administration.
    
 Sometimes public trust to the government has declined dramatically; we think that we are hopeless, no more changes in our government, likely we are invulnerable.
    
 With our new president, we are hoping that this is the beginning of the country’s prosperity. PNoy inchoate the great move, he implemented the no sirens, no blinkers, and he started to run after the corrupt officials by implementing a task group to investigate.
    
 People of the Philippines now are more confident to face the trials and to obtain the success. It will happen if everyone will cooperate. In any way everybody can help.
    
We are Filipino. And I’m proud to be pinoy.
