It’s now official, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino is now the 15^th Philippine President. It was a festive celebration amidst the humid atmosphere in a crowd garb in yellow clothing. Unlike previous presidential inauguration, this event has been star-studded. The atmosphere was light (though security forces are a bit skeptical) and you can feel the positive vibe everywhere.

Everyone was quite eager to hear and witness P-Noy’s inaugural speech. Though I didn’t personally witnessed the event, as I was watching only through live streaming, I can actually feel the sincerity in his words… The longing to have a much better Philippines… And the optimism that we can ALL have a prosperous country in the future.

I practically half-expected that he’ll come to this point… and the other half, is Gibo (as i actually voted for him). But either whom, I’m glad that GMA is now officially out of the palace! The previous government is in a deep havoc, I must say! After hearing his speech, I am please to know that he is head-on in dealing with the country’s perpetrators. And as a citizen, I am excited to have a government better than what we used to have. The entire nation’s eyes will be fixed on how he’ll work things out but definitely, he can’t do this without our help. Though he is a symbol of hope for us Filipinos, we also have to find hope in ourselves… Not relying solely to our new President, but we also have to take part for our country’s sake. Because in the end, it’s not just HIS country but OUR country.
