Philippine President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III after reviewing troops during his inauguration as the 15th President of the Philippines in Manila June 30, 2010.
A sight to behold. A day to remember. Our hearts unite in jubilation. A promise of new beginning for every Filipino here and abroad.
It was a holiday so I was able to watch the historical event from television, the internet, as well as get updates from the newspaper as all the others living far from the capital. Inspite of that, I share the same feeling of elation.
The inaugural speech was impressive in terms of content, voice and delivery. It was full of courage and hope. And though his promises were all too much to believe in... the lines "The people who are behind us dared to dream. Today, the dream starts to become a reality. Sa inyong mga nag-iisip pa kung tutulong kayo sa pagpasan ng ating krus, isa lang ang aking tanong – kung kailan tayo nanalo, saka pa ba kayo susuko?" gave us the enough challenge to have that faith. Let us remind ourselves not to pin our hopes to just one man.Together we must pray for his leadership. Together we must work for a better Philippines. Together we can make things happen.
And to the new president, Congratulations and God Bless!!!
