New president, now what?

For the past couple of years, people have always said that a new president will do us a lot of good. Today, after 9 years under the addministration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, we finally have a new face sitting under the that famed presidential seal.

But the question remains, "Will it change anything ?"

The hopes and dreams of a nation now lie squarely on the new president's shoulders. He has ran on a platform of reform and honest stewardship. Though I did not vote for him and it will probably take a while to appreciate his arrogance, I have accepted him. I do sincerely wish that he would do good on all those promises but I have grown cynical over the years. It seems though the faces and the times change, the end is still the same. I can vividly recall how we were all so glad to have Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo lead us into the new millennium. Yes she probably did us a lot of bad, though her accomplishments in infrastructure and investment did also help us.

I hope that Benigno Aquino III will be a successful president... for my country and for the Filipino people. We're stuck with you for six years so better do something productive while you're there.
