I also agree that it is too early to judge Noynoy. To be honest, I voted for GMA before thinking she was the one our country needs and look where she took us. I don't think Noynoy is a favorite of the media as I don't see any compeling evidences that point to that theory.

That would be one ugly puppy if it's true, that's why he needs to do his work and not make scenes that only gets attention of the people negatively. unfortunately, the media is with him so no bad news there, except that they're bias. for me, he is not the one we need.

You raised a good question. Will he be someone who will be dictated by a people around him or will he be a man of his own? But whichever path he will take, dictated or chosen, I hope that he will be following things that will do good for the common good.
I also agree with the others that it is too early to judge. Give the man a chance to prove his worth. But if we are following the news, this is the first time that a president-elect got protesters at his doorsteps even before he assumed office. And not just that, there are also threats of strong opposition and even impeachment from the current administration. I really do hope, all this negativity will make the president-elect wiser.

I have yet 2 see how he is as our Commander in Chief.
But judging from his promise of new politics I am soundly disappointed. With what was just happening during elections and now I see Noyx2 as just another TRAPO. With his appointments and due disregard of the rule of Law.
Imagine appointing Boy Abunda(Good thing he didn't accept the position) as Tourism Secretary! What is his credentials 2 be appointed into such a high position as secretary? Only as a family friend especially 2 his sister. If that is new Politics then Id rather stick with the old. His disrespect of the Supreme Court ruling is another red alert. How can he so blatantly disregard the decision of the Supreme Court? Does he think that the Executive is more powerful than the Judiciary? Our government is based on the Premise of Check and Balance in lieu with Montesquieu. No one of the THREE BRANCHES of GOVERNMENT is above each other. Hope he will respect the Supreme Courts decision and the Constitution.

Oh, you want to stick with the old? So you would rather have the manicurist as PCSO board and a PA (personal alalay) on another government position? And speaking of credentials, are Gordon and Durano ever involved in tourism before they accepted the cabinet position? Boy Abunda may not have a very impressive school record but he is not just a TV personality - from nothing, he was able to carve name in the showbiz industry. And I do think his work in showbiz, being a publicist, a public relations consultant and starting and managing his own company are credentials that he may use in handling the tourism in the country. One good thing about Boy is he is one of the few credible, honest personalities in showbiz. See, he did not accept the offer for now because he don't want to compromise things.
But I do agree with you that I think Noynoy should stop giving positions as political payback. And Noynoy said so in his other interviews that a committee was tasked to do the screening and recommendation. I do hope he will heed Joel Villanueva's suggestion that there should be a clean transparent process and criteria in appointing positions.
As for the Supreme court thing, my only question is, who will judge if the judges judged correctly?

Aquino might not be the perfect leader we are looking for, but he is the best we've got. I hope he will put an end on the sufferings that the Filipinos are experiencing. We need to believe in our new set of leaders.

Congratulations on your new President! I certainly hope that he would do great during his term in office. But he needs you and he needs everyone to work together with him. And he needs to work with the rest of us in South East Asia and eventually the world. The first few years would be hard. But Let's give him the continued trust and faith to allow him the opportunity to return the trust not just to the people who have trusted him to power but also the whole country and the world. Blessings to you and Mr Aquino!

He's not the leader that I am looking for but let's give the guy a chance to prove himself to the people. He should not controlled by the "masses" which always demands things which they themselves have created.
