Best Wishes P-Noy!

Today is the start of a new Philippines. Or so they say.

The President has been sworn in and the nation tuned in to see the star-studded ceremonies. I was at work and didn’t see it. I fell asleep in the afternoon without having been able to see any videos of the entire thing on the Internet. I’ll try to catch it tomorrow. I did get to read his inaugural speech. Very inspiring. I must admit though, we’ve heard these words before. Somehow, the Pinoys are more hopeful this time around. It’s as if we really are looking forward to a brighter tomorrow where what the President says may actually come true.

Ako din, I want to be hopeful I am hopeful. I truly believe that the fate of the country does not lie in Noynoy’s hands alone, it is an active and responsible citizenry that will bring the change that we have so longed for. P-Noy is but an agent of that change. He will lead the transformation within the government. But we have to take action too.

About the ceremonies though, naisip ko lang, sana they gave a chance for lesser known (but deserving) artists to take center stage. I mean, we probably have other local artists outside of Manila waiting for the chance to show the rest of the country and the world what they have to offer. It would have been a wonderful way to stay true to what PNoy professes to be: a very simple man who will lead a simple life even as he is President of the land. Makes sense? Wala lang, maisingit lang yung sentiment na yun.

Tonight, after the street party for the people, the President will go back home to Times Street. Once his new residence in the Malacañang compound is ready, he will move there, sa Bahay Pangarap.

Best Wishes President Noy! Today you’ve sealed your contract with the Filipino people. Our wish is that you stay true to your word.

We will be watching.
