Spare PNOY the privacy

I agree with your call and suggestion. He's planning good schedules for the 'New Philippines' especially on education with the Fishnet Ministry. Many poor students already got lots of benefit from it although unable to covering all levels but there are efforts from him to make a second call to the rich business group to directly help poor students in their locality. On the first call, I just made a request to not ignore the students at the Western Mindanao State University in Zamboanga City, Philippines. I am very proud some of them already enjoyed the drop into their bucket. About PNOY's private life he knew what's best for him to take especially who he wanted to say 'Yes, I do' as far as the lady or woman also like him, really works for the people.

Hello maean, I think it's better off if the president is single. but that's just my opinion since he's getting really old. and besides, he will be more focused in helping out the country better than any President out there. look at the case of Erap having many wives, how about the Husband of GMA that rumored to have something to do with the ZTE deal he can do better off alone.

Being a bachelor and the President of a progressive nation keeps the media busy to feed the news hungry citizens. After all he is now a public property and no longer enjoy being a private citizen. What ever he does in private or public will become national news.

agree with you..however..Filipinos being always wanting to be socially aware would always dig into the roots of these things..

There's no chance of escape once the public eye in on you. Afterall, those are one of the expected things he has to bear when he assumed presidency. Besides, Filipinos are natural gossipers and they just can't help it. LOL!

It's really hard to be a public figure more so be the president of a country. All eyes are on you especially the media people. It's difficult to keep one's privacy in this case. Most people, if not all, are interested to hear everything about PNOY whether it's work related or not. The media may not help but to seek and give more details about the issue also because of the people eagerly waiting to hear the news. Although this being the case, I think people especially those who work in the news or entertainment sector should also know their limitations and respect the silence of both parties involved. Let them decide when to talk and how much information they want to share with the public. Even though these personalities have an obligation to us and to our country, it doesn't mean that we have the right to constantly disturb their private life. Respect and understanding are two important words to be learned here. =)

Filipinos are by nature hopeless romantics... and the thought of a bachelor president getting married during his term is like an event to really look forward to... so we can't help but speculate and wonder if PNOY and Shalani are still together or if he has a new love interest... He would just have to bear with it... but i applaud the two of them for being trying to keep their relationship toned down... since what really matters right now is not their relationship... but how to improve the lives of most Filipinos...

I totally agree. Issues like that should be confidential and we should respect the status that they have right now. Even though he's the president, it is not a must to know each and every "corner" of his life. He is also a human, someone who has privacy in life. We should just be proud of him 'cause in spite the many issues and rumors he's encountering now, he's still doing his obligations as president.
