A wake up call

President Aquino reportedly blamed Joseph Estrada and the City of Manila - the problem on the motorists and commuters, traffic congestions and truck bans. He even blamed the former President Gloria Arroyo for the frequent MRT problems including LRT.

Just recently he defended DAP as different from PDAF, he said only a minimal portion of DAP releases have any issue. Rest assured: The Commission on Audit will ensure that, if there was any abuse or misuse of this fund, then those responsible will be held to account.

It was a roller-coaster ride on the issue involving DAP, eradicating graft and corruption.

His plan of fighting against corruption was only good at first.

Truck ban in Manila was lifted. Mayor Joseph Estrada lifted the Manila truck ban effective noon in Manila to help address the problem of port congestion.The oil price increased high. During his term theres always a price hike but seldom price rollback. The jeepney fare increased, commuters has no choice. President Aquino asks for patience while he and his men is solving the problem.

He was criticised and accused to be sleeping with problems our country is facing today. Problems specially Pending NLEX-SLEX connector road, discarded the Belgian-assisted Laguna Lake project, derailment of MRT, and implementation of truck ban. Palace asks for patience as it works on some of the problems.

We need a President who has that great balls of fire. Someone who can defend us in times of trouble. Trouble such as the problems we are facing now.

Some criticism about him says that he failed to become a good leader to us. He was not full opening his eyes to see all the problems.

Someone we can turn to in crisis.

President Aquino is maybe in crisis because he has been in the position for many years and yet he cannot do immediate response. Obviously it is not easy, but he is the responsible for it.

It is just he is really sleeping or the staff around him are sleeping on the problems we are facing right now. It was posted in Tribune that even a recent Japanese study which the government adopted recently indicated that the administration of President Aquino has been sleeping on the job.

We need someone who can wake him up and pay attention to the problems we have now.  The Palace's apologizing to the public on the mismanagement of the MRT and the traffic in the metro won't help solve the problems.

Who deserves to lead the Philippines?

Caloocan City Rep. Edgar Erice is not withdrawing even without an established support from Malacañang and its allies in Congress.

Edgar Erice is the chief proponent of political Charter change and he is a Liberal Party stalwart, now he is pushing for a resolution for amending the political provisions of the Constitution.

   
Erice said in an interview that it will really push through next week.
 
He states that it is time to discuss the need to amend the political provisions of the Constitution especially on the lifting of terms of elective positions.
   
While the palace is giving contradicting statements on President Benigno Aquino 's real stand the Cha-cha even after he expressed his agreement with the idea of term extension.
   
Erice said he believes that President Aquino deserves another term so he can continue enforcing reforms in the government.
   
He(Erice) would like to pursue a discussion and debate on possible reforms and amendment in the political provisions of the Constitution.
   
According to his statement, the issue of lifting term limits has to be in Congress through discussions and debates in the plenary.
   
Senator Franklin Drilon announced earlier that the Liberal Party officials and members will meet to discuss the issue on Cha-cha.
   
Budget Secretary Abad said that there is a need for the ruling party to meet with the President to clarify his position on Charter change. He(Abad) is another stalwart of the party(Liberal).
   
Abad has said the LP has to be ready to follow the President’s position on the issue which has reportedly divided the party amid Speaker Feliciano Belmonte’s opposition to Erice’s proposal.

In reports, Erice’s resolution set to be filed next week, the terms of the President and Vice President will come through four years with one re-election.


What will happen if President Aquino will be re-elected despite of being not allowed to?


What if they just give chance to others who are more deserving to lead the Philippines?


Why PNoy's intention of running again to be the president for another six years is ridiculous. Just saying a few reasons why:

Daang Matuwid did not materialized.


It did not brought anything good to us and our country. It brought corruption in the government. Politicians became rich. Is that a daang matuwid?

Power for corruption.


He had someone in power controlling everything and then the media was censored. A manipulation from the dictator, was only the source of information. People were afraid of those in power. Corruption in the government were hidden. They are using the National Treasury as their personal investment.

Slower Poverty Reduction.


They are the wealthy celebrities. They lie and embracing their oppressors - they cannot see that. They blocked plenty of academics and community activists who could serve as public servants. Their idea demonstrates how brain washed the ordinary person is. 

Poor Governance.


Things will never change, they would be better off with a different type of leadership. Someone needs to convince them.

If you can still remember, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said before that the unemployment rate increased in the last quarter because of the calamities that hit the country.


The good plans are always announced but will just remain plans. 


Give chance to others who are more deserving to lead the Philippines.


He tries to destroy our country and our people with all the unacceptable examples! 


He commands the destruction of the Supreme Court! 

He tries to divide and conquer/rule the people!

PNoy vs Supreme Court

Of all the issues President Aquino has encountered in his term this must be the most hard-hitting.

The Supreme Court declared DAP unconstitutional but President Aquino filed a motion of reconsideration, he says it is under the law but then he got rejected.

He then continued to defend DAP in spite of the court ruling.

Respected personalities say he seems like trashing the constitution and wants presidential autocracy.
While he was defending DAP, President Aquino appears that he is above the law and his clan is benefitting from DAP.

Aquino uses DAP funds to overcompensate him and his relatives — contrary to the amount ordered for compensation by the court.
Different groups describe his statement as ‘Palusot’ resulting activist group Bayanmuna to endorse the possibility of PNoy's impeachment. This also burst Anti pork groups who participated during the Million People March

What do you think about DAP? 
Is it just an Aquino government’ s version of the pork barrel?
The illegal use of savings furthermore sends an image of corruption and bad governance.
Aquino's SONA is scheduled on July 28, 2014 at the House of Representatives' complex in Quezon City.
He is expected to report his administration’s accomplishments in the past year and his plans for the coming year.
What do you think are his achievements as the president of our country and how about his non-achievements?
Aquino is always giving out motherhood statements.

He’s trying to divert the attention away from his own shortfalls.
The Philippines may have advanced in his regime but the improvements are not based on his accomplishments but the previous administration's

In this period, only the rich got richer and the big businesses benefit from the so-called national "growth."


On July 14, President Aquino speak up on the issue, he says DAP is completely different from PDAF

May mga nagsasabi rin po na pareho lang ang DAP sa PDAF. Excuse me. Iba ang DAP sa PDAF. Sa PDAF, may ilang nagdala ng pondo ng gobyerno sa mga pekeng NGO, at diumano’y pinaghati-hatian ng ilang mapang-abuso. Sa DAP, malinaw na hindi ninakaw ang pondo ng gobyerno—sinikap itong gastusin para maiparating ang benepisyo sa Pilipino. Hindi saka na, o bukas makalawa; now na. Ang kayang ipatupad agad, ipinatupad agad.

The President and his Government

The president can realign the budget anytime of the year, from projects approved by Congress, to projects and budgetary items not found in the GAA approved by Congress, the President has practically castrated Congress of its power to appropriate funds. 

The President in essence, drafts the budget, approves the budget and implements the budget, a form of budgetary dictatorship that is not only a source of graft and corruption but also patronage politics. 

Pulse Asia survey shows that Filipinos trusted and approved of Vice President Jejomar Binay more than President Aquino.

Based on the survey taken from December 8 to 15, 2013, Aquino and Binay obtained majority approval ratings.

Aquino's approval rating, however, went down from 79 in September 2013 to 73 in December 2013, while his trust rating also went down from 76 to 74.

He also emphasise that corruption was endemic in the budgeting system of the past. In his speech he adds:


Malinaw na maraming nagaganap na katiwalian sa sistema ng pagba-budget noon. Kaya naman, tinanggal natin ang mga ito. Kinansela natin ang mga maanomalyang proyekto, inayos ang pamamalakad sa mga GOCC, at sinimulang itigil ang mga hokus-pokus sa kaban ng bayan. Sa pamamagitan ng Zero-Based Budgeting, paglalaanan lang ng pondo ang mga proyektong tunay na pakikinabangan ng mamamayan; wala nang puwang para sa tinatawag na continuing appropriations. Ito pong continuing appropriations ang isa sa mga dahilan kaya nagkaroon ng marupok at komplikadong burukrasya, na pagkakataon para sa katiwalian, at mga programang pinagkakaperahan ng iilan, habang wala namang benepisyong dumarating sa taumbayan.

Aquino is always giving out motherhood statements. President Aquino recently suffered a big drop in Pulse Asia Survey.

He’s trying to divert the attention away from his own shortfalls. The Philippines may have advanced in his regime but the improvements are not based on his accomplishments but the previous administration's.

He is scheduled to deliver his state of nation address on July 28, 2014 at the House of Representatives' complex in Quezon City. 

In SONA, he is expected to report his administration’s accomplishments in the past year and his plans for the coming year. What are his achievements / non-achievements?

At this point in time what do you think must he do? Because in this period, only the rich got richer and the big businesses benefit from the so-called national "growth."

What can we expect on the Upcoming SONA 2014?

Pahayag ng Kagalang-galang Benigno S. Aquino III Pangulo ng Pilipinas Ukol sa paghahain ng Motion for Reconsideration para sa desisyon ng Korte Suprema sa DAP

Eid’l Fitr on July 29

President Aquino declares observance of Eid’l Fitr on July 29 a regular holiday

In observance of this year’s Eid’l Fitr or the Feast of Ramadhan, President Benigno S. Aquino III declared July 29 (Tuesday) a regular holiday throughout the country.

President Aquino signed Proclamation 826 last July 10 to bring the religious and cultural significance of Eid’l Fitr, the first day marking the end of the 30-day fasting period of Muslims, to the fore of national consciousness.

“To promote cultural understanding and integration, the entire Filipino nation should have the full opportunity to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in the observance and celebration of Eid’l Fitr,” President Aquino said in the proclamation.

Eid’l Fitr, an Arabic word which means “festival of breaking of the fast,” is an important holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide for three days after the end of Ramadhan, or the Islamic holy month of fasting.

The occasion has always been recognized by the Philippine government by virtue of Republic Act No. 9177, enacted by the 12th Congress in 2002, in deference to the Filipino Muslim community and to promote peace and harmony among major religions in the country.
