Great People

Today the weather is quite fine. Although metro manila was not hit by the super typhoon Yolanda, we still experienced rain showers and strong winds… But just what CNN commented about the Filipinos, we will just brush off the dirt on our clothes and move on as if everything that happened was just a dream. Life will go on and everything will be back to normal and thinking on mundane things like what you can save on abelton live will resume..things like this and more.

Bright Future

I saw this tweet from ABSCBN and so I followed the link and read:

MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang sees no need to remind government officials to avoid placing the name and image either of President Benigno Aquino III or themselves on promotional materials for public projects.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda compared the move to the Aquino administration's "no wang-wang" policy, or government vehicles' non-use of sirens.

He said government officials should follow the president's example.

"Parang wang-wang yan e. Di mo na kailangan sabihin. Itong ginawang ehemplo ng Pangulo, siguro marunong na rin kayong sumunod kahit na walang utos sa inyo. You should get the drift already," Lacierda stressed.

Echoing the Palace's stand on the issue, Sen. Francis Escudero has filed Senate Bill 2187 that seeks to ban the naming of government projects after politicians or other people.

It has been common practice for national and local government officials to claim credit for infrastructure projects built during their tenure.

The bill proposes to punish violators with 1-year imprisonment and a fine ranging from P100,000 to P1 million.

This is good. I do hope that government officials will strictly follow. Finally, someone raised this concern and hopefully will be able to materialized.

Hope

I watched the inauguration on TV switching from channels 2 and 5, :D. Indeed, yesterday’s inauguration of President Noynoy was star studded. VIPs in the government, business and showbiz sectors were present. Most of the gentlemen skip wearing their designer ties and opted to proudly wear their Barong Tagalogs. All in all it was really a historical event> I must say, once again, the president ignited hope among the nation. His inaugural speech was composed not just of promises but, warnings which reflect a positive sign of his government. I just hope that he will be able to fulfill his words. Our duty now is to back him up and help him. Go Pinoys!
