PNoy’s Legacy: A Balanced Perspective on Governance
Wins, Wounds, and What We Learned
As we mark the birthday of Benigno Aquino III, it’s worth hitting pause. Let’s look at his presidency with clear eyes. We should avoid blind praise and lazy hate. History deserves better than hot takes.
PNoy didn’t walk into Malacañang as a strongman. He walked in as a reformer with a mandate. In 2010, his core promise was simple but heavy. It was to turn the…
Our House just got flooded in again, the last time this happened was back in October of 2022. So twice already now under the Administration of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM). Before October 2022, the last time our House was flooded in was during the time of AbNoy Panot. So Ahermm … I can see some connection and pattern there …
On the commemoration of his birth anniversary today, February 8, 2024, let us ponder on former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s legacy and commitment to the #Filipinos, whose presidency propelled the 🇵🇭#Philippines' economy forward. 🙏 He would have been 64 years old if he were alive today.
Nakakapasok ka ba sa Office of the President, ako Hindi
Naalala niyo pa ba ito? Si Janet Napoles sumuko sa Office of the President at 9:37 ng gabi
Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a statement that Napoles surrendered to the President at 9:37 p.m. - Philippine Star, August 28, 2013
Sana all pwede sumuko sa Presidente kahit di oras ng opisina. At mukha pang hatid sundo.
Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco on Saturday said presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda had no business fetching Napoles and taking her to the Palace.
“He said he asked permission from the President, but take note that it was the court—not the President—who had ordered her arrest. Did he also ask permission from the judge?” Tiangco asked. - Philippine Daily Inquirer, September 1, 2013.
Sigurado ako dun naisilang ang ilan DDS, at kung hindi man die hard supporter nanawa na sa mga salita ni PNoy.
Sana lang sa mga DDS na yan, ganun din ang pagdududa kay Michael Yang, na minsan na ring natawagang Presidential Adviser kahit Chinese.
Close talaga sila. Walang nagawa yung bantay Jaworksi ni Bong Go at nag tatabi pa nga sila dito sa picture sa baba.
Hanggang sa umabot na nga tayo dito sa isang familiar na sala atmosphere, magkasama si Linconn Ong ng Pharmally at Michael Yang.
May abogado naman si Yang, si Raymond Fortun hindi basta basta, sigurado akong hindi chipipay, pero sa bawat oras mag papakita si Presidente Duterte na dapat sana sa mga problema ng bansa puro pag papatanggol sa isang Chinese National?
Limang taon na prusisyon natin, actually 8 years dahil 2013 pa si Janet Napoles, akalain mo sa Sala pa din ang tuloy.
SALAMAT SA DIYOS
Homily delivered by Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas at the Funeral Mass for President Benigno Aquino III at the Gesu Church, Ateneo de Manila University last June 26, 2021
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
Nakakagulat…Nakakahinayang…Nakakalungkot…Nakaka-inggit. Sa kabila ng lahat…salamat pa rin sa Diyos!
President Noy crossed over to the next life as the sun was rising…
