" His first 100 days "

Today, June 30, on a glorious wednesday, marks the proclamation of our new president - Benigno Aquino III, better known as Noynoy Aquino.
The name may sound familiar to you as he's the son of our late president Cory Aquino
and senator Ninoy Aquino, who was assassinated during Marcos regime.
Both of his parents played such important roles in changing the lives and history on each one of us and now, it's his turn, once again, an "Aquino" heading our country.




The photo you're looking at is the Rizal Park, here in Luneta.
Normally it looks like this, but since today marks a memorable event,
I think the place will be filled with people and I'm sure everyone
and anyone will bring or wear "yellow" (the official symbol) for that mattter.

Through the last 9years, president GMA (Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) ruled this nation without any success.
She was blamed for anomalies here and there that boils down to Corruption.
She tried to stay firm despite 5 attempts of impeachment complaints.
But in the end, we are still in-debt, one of the most corrupt country, still can't alleviate poverty, less justice, more violence and crimes, we're hungry for Change.

We are all hoping that pres. Noynoy will stay true to his convictions, unbiased, having firm principles to finally stabilize this nation once again.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

"Election 2010 "

As much as we're familiar with the candidates who are running for presidency this coming May.



It helps when we see them on t.v adverts or newspapers and why not "paper cups"?!



There's a new gimmick at 7-11 that offers Slurpy and cold beverage drinks.



But instead of ordinary cups, the presidentiable's faces are printed on the cups
and you get to choose which among them you like the most.

Coincidentally, a client of ours bought a drink for himself and chose this as
his favorite.



Anyone of you who might be able to recognize his face? ^0^



It's our former-ousted President Erap Estrada who's running again for the 2nd time.
Call it dejá-vu ! ^-^

Inside the store, they even put up a poll banner for updates on who's leading.



Although i'm staying away from cold drinks, too tempting! i think i'll buy one sometime. ^0^

" Do you know who to vote for? "

Less than 2weeks before voting,candidates who are running for public office
are busy posting their campaign ads here and there. Even though there's a
mandate rule that forbids them to do so.
Politics here is a tricky game, magnetize by intrigues and scandal,over hyped
by the media which all boils down to money and power.
While there are quite a few hopefuls who has vowed to overcome corruption and alleviate poverty, I doubt that in a vast playing field where money is next to temptation and the yearning for power can sometimes turn violent.



It makes me wonder if we'll ever find a president who'll stick to his/her guns,
who's not a puppet, not a sucker, someone who's brave enough to face the real
social problem and actually find solutions for it.

But I'm keeping my fingers crossed, still keeping a positive outlook and hoping
that "change" will come soon. ^-^
