Another Good Program that Noynoy Should Look Into
I have some studies about Medical Tourism, though I am still in the process of collating my research, I can safely say that initially I find the Philippines to be an ideal Medical Tourists destination in Asia for the following reasons:
- Filipinos aside from being good English speakers, they are also known to be the most hospitable people.
- Our Tropical climate is akin to people who seek cure from the healing capabilities of nature.
- We have good beaches and sceneries that can help ease out physical and mental stresses.
- Most of our highly urbanized cities all over the country have World-class Medical Facilities, Hospital and Medical practitioners.
- Availability and abundance of Medicinal Herbs and traditional healing practices that were proven to be an alternative therapy for illness considered incurable by modern medical practitioners.
- Transportation and communication facilities anywhere in the Philippines can be considered adequate even to the remotest part of the country. Most especially to known tourist destinations.
There are other aspects of a favorable environment for the development of Medical Tourism in the country. Maybe this can be included in the proposed program of government by the Noynoy Aquino Presidency because it not only mean foreign currency earning but more importantly, this will generate job and at the same time take care of the health of not only the prospective Medical Tourists but also our own citizens as well.
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."

If the reports in the news today are true regarding Noynoy’s appeal for Danding’s support , I don’t know if the people will continue to support Noynoy . I have been supporting and defending the Noynoy-Mar tandem in blogs and to anybody eversince Noynoy announce his candidacy . I believe LP do not need NPC , Noynoy don’t need those informercials neither . People wants change , People wants a new kind of governance ,people wants a difference ,people wants a new face of politics ,people wants a fresh start and the People is the only one that can make him president , not Danding or any politicians with bad backgrounds . Sayang Sir…sayang… Noynoy might have forgotten that the people who supported Cory ,who supported Ninoy, the people who cried for his parents are the people who hates the people behind Marcos and the crocodiles of the society . Noynoy must give due consideration the feelings of this people . If Noynoy will pursue his appeal to NPC’s support then you should remember me , if Noynoy ratings will fall down much faster than it goes up .
Noynoy’s integrity is the only one that keeps him up …. with the bad people around ..I don’t think he can make it and LP as group cannot make it .
However , unless these things are ironed out for good ..rest assured of the my full support with your tandem .Noy-Mar

@Dennis Villarta, I think what we have directly heard from Noynoy re; Danding is that he or Noynoy, being younger and in consonance to the old family tradition, can not dictate nor even suggest to Danding whom he will support because the latter is an elder and the younger ones, out of filial respect, can not impose upon an elder. That was very clear.
Pero sana let us understand the reality of politics. Noynoy might end up with less or no supporter at all, if he will refuse support of one just on the basis of the rejection of that person of group by another. Do you see the picture?
Let us also stay away from absolutism. Hindi naman lahat ng NPC masama nor hindi naman lahat ng LP ay mabuti. Furthermore, if one will support Noynoy at wala namang strings attached, that support may even be important irregardless of the source, considering that at the end of the end of the day, such support can bring us to good governance that all of us all looking for.
At one time pa nga when Bongbong Marcos and Imee Marcos offered support parang gusto ko na ngang sabihin na sana tanggapin na ni Noynoy. Tutal hindi naman kasalanan ng anak ang pagkakamali ng ama at ina. Tutal wala namang masamang record sina Bongbong and Imee sa kanilang panunungkulan. Support in any language is support.It gives one the power to do good or fight evil. If a devil will give me a gun, I will take it and use it against the devil. Masama ba yun? If I will not get the gun from the devil, he might use it to kill an angel and I will regret it so much for not taking the gun from him.
For as long as a support is extended without condition palagay ko ok naman yun.

@Dennis Villarta, we shouldn’t jump into conclusion yet. we still don’t know the whole story. if we behave that way whenever we read something negative without verifying first, then we are not really a true supporter. sayang, we should stand firm for what we believe.
we know very well that noy is so popular right now that all his rivals are throwing everything including the “kitchen sink and inidoro”. don’t get easily swayed by mere reports and rumors. get involved, make your own research, and you will see that we’re on the right track.

I also have an advise to Noynoy and the whole LP. Sapat ngayon pa lang assert your position already as the REAL opposition. Huwag mo namang kalimutan si Sonia Roco sa senatorial slate mo please. You can assert your position as the real opposition by keeping your guns ablaze. Not necessarily Noynoy or Mar kundi yung mga senatoriables like Biazon, Hontiveros-Barrachael, etc. Maraming issues like yung nabubulok na nga relief goods, juggling of funds, mishandling of the ondoy disaster, etc. Kasi napansin ko nasa defensive mode kayong lahat. Yung iba di nila magagawa yun kasi wala pa silang miyembro sa ticket nila na seryoso. Sa ticket nga ni Erap may isinama sila na di naman talagang desidido sa kanya si ba? Examble is Edu. Bongbong and Merriam. Kayong mga LP tutal talagang kayo na at sure na, do your job na as the real opposition. Prove everyone that you can pull the trigger.

marami na akong nabasang negative write-ups tungkol sa ating “Noynoy”, pero hindi yun ang magiging dahilan para iatras ko ang suporta sa kanya…I am OPEN-MINDED about it…
mas lalo pa nga akong humanga sa kanya…
lalo na nung mabasa ko ang transcript ng PROFILES ng PROBE ng TSANEL 2…
Mabuhay ka President NOYNOY!

@Dennis Villarta, easy ka lang. Ako rin naiinis na sa mga balimbings na nakikisakay kay Noy pero that is real politics. In a perfect world, everything is black and white, walang shades of gray. The reality is different, in fact there are different shades of gray too. And this is what makes us human, not divine. From where I stand, ganito lang kasi yan: Tinanong ng mga reporter/reporters si Noy kung nakikipag-usap or makikipag-usap siya kay Danding na tiyuhin niya at chairman emeritus ng NPC nung nagretreat si Chiz bilang standard bearer ng NPC. Good story material, di ba? Pareho silang nasa politika pero magkaibang party and to add spice to it magkamag-anak kahit hindi nag-uusap. Will they forget their familial differences and join forces now that the NPC does not have a presidential candidate? Nakakakiliti di ba? Ang sagot naman ni Noy, he might and could talk with his uncle. What’s wrong with that? And why not? Besides, talk is cheap. Walang namamatay sa pakikipag-usap, walang nababawasan ng dangal o integridad. On the contrary, a person’s willingness to talk even to his enemies shows his strength of character because he is interested in knowing what the other is thinking. Ika nga “know your enemy and you will know how to overcome him.” Nakipag-usap din siya kay Erap, di ba? So? That Noynoy is willing to talk and consult with everyone and anyone before he makes his moves, even the group who almost killed him, only raises his stock, not diminish it. Think about it.

I want him to win that’s why I reacted this way , kapag ang isang pirasong tela kapag ito’y nadumihan ito’y nagiging basahan . If you will try to scan the blogs yesterday and today . You will observe that there were several who already displayed their frustrations . Let us face the fact that this not just about personality issue but this is also about Noynoy’s fight and most importantly his parents dreams. People can’t just believe about ” no string attach thing ” , because everybody knew what is politics in the philippines and everybody knew Danding very,very well . Gibo and Chiz are now staying away from NPC because they knew the consequences ,Gibo and other candidates are rated below par primarily because of their association with Danding ,GMA and the Marcoses and if Noynoy will also crawl to that snake pit I am pretty much sure he will fall down also. Todays Politics is not just about money…this is about change .. please look around … the youth are now trying to force themselves for Noynoy just to be counted and the People itself are the ones pushing Noynoy up and I beleive this thing is not normal for the LP Camp to dance on the same tune of traditional politics ,the people wishes to get rid off .

@Dennis Villarta,dont panic,theirs nothing wrong,when Noynoy talk to his uncle Danding.He even talk to his adversaries.He can talk to all,thats very important as a future president to know the problem.The most important at the end he will decide whats wrong and whats right. He alone can decide whats good for his government and for the people. Based on his characters,he will not compromise his love to his country for a few million pesos his team recieve for his campaign. Noynoy supporters has to work that he win in big margin so he can do his work without hinderness.You can read and hear more and more negative about him the next few months. Other candidates will fabricate stories about Nonoy to discourage his followers.Nakakainggit kasi ang rating nya.So be strong in your support on him.Others dont have what Noynoy have “Integrity and Honesty”.

@Everybody, I am trying to proposed something here because to contribute for Noynoy to consider when he becomes president, the comments I am expecting should have been related to the topic I am trying to submit for discussion. Since all of us here are trying to allay the fears of Dennis as to Noynoy rumored talks with Danding, Erap or any other who is conceived to influence Noynoy once he becomes president. All I can say is I have faith in Noynoy that he will not compromise the peoples’ clamor for change. If someone try to paint a shade of doubt on Noynoy’s integrity and sincerity, let them be as long as Noynoy will just follow his heart.
If all of us will be carried away by frustrations because of negative publicity, ang dali pala nating umatras sa labang hindi pa natapos ang first round. Kaya pala tayong patumbahin ng isang suntok lang.
@Dennis, advice ko: Just follow your heart and common sense…

I heard over DZBB that Villar is catching up. Latest survey raw gives Noynoy 30% , Villar is 23%, Estrada 13% and Escudero 7%
In my analysis, ang supporters ni Noynoy can be categorized as follows;
Humahanga kay Cory and Ninoy – 1/4
Humahanga kay Noynoy himself – 1/4
Asar kay GMA – 1/4
Asar sa ibang kandidato – 1/4
Yung first two categories, di na mawawala yun. Yung last two categories, pwede pang maiba.
In my opinion, nae-erode yung last two categories. For the following reasons;
a.) Hindi bumubuga ng issues ang LP. Kaya tuloy nagkakaroon ng mis-impression na mas oposisyon yung mga parties na kinabibilangan nina Mirriam Santiago at Enrile.
b.) For the meantime, tahimik si Erap at panay ang patalastas nina Villar at Escudero.
c.) Dahil tahimik si Estrada, napupunta ang boto niya kay Villar. Pareho kasi ang kanilang mga voters.
d.) Dahil panay ang patalastas ni Escudero, nakakakuha siya ng boto kay Noynoy.
Di ako magtataka na babayaran ni Villar si Estrada para umatras o kaya even maging vice niya and he would finance the candidacy of Escudero para makakuha ng boto from Noynoy. He can do this with his huge resources and to think that he is also the unofficial manok ni Gloria.
My advice for Noynoy is to arrest the erosion of his last two category supporters by;
a.) ASSERTING that LP is the REAL OPPOSITION. He should be constantly on top of current and updated issues against GMA.
B.)His senatoriables like Serge Osmena, Biazon , Hontiveros, etc. should now bring out the issues versus the EVIL gang of E-erap/Escudero VIL-Villar.
Come on, Guys….GO! GO! GO!

Hustisya, I am not sure if this latest survey is credible. They have a similar figures like the two last surveys of IBON and StratPOLLS, remember?…Overall Noynoy is leading in all surveys.
I am waiting actually for the Pulse Asia survey.

@dennis….don’t worry about this danding thing too much…if it can assure you somehow, try to search boo chanco’s article in philstar or go to http://www.boochanco.com and read generation change or generation 2010 as the header, sorry not so sure about the title. i’m pointing it to you because in there, boo was able to talk to paul aquino, noy’s uncle, ninoy’s youngest brother, bam’s father. in there, boo asked about noy’s campaign and all and paul replied that they were asked to stay on the sidelines, they meaning the elders including pepeng cojuangco. there was a talked before that pepeng is doing a back door negotiation for danding to support noy but apparently according to paul, they were asked by noy to just support him in silence. paul and pepeng’s generation is done, it’s noy’s generation now who will try to do the fixing.
again, don’t be easily downhearted. the first time i heard about danding even with kris’ association then was also like yours, negative. everyone associated with marcos specially those who enriched their families is negative in my eyes. but this is what i also learned, the aquinos especially cory’s family has a different kind of belief and values; belief that is not easily understood by most even by ninoy’s sisters as the case of tessie and lupita. i’m sure you know that tita cory said sorry to erap and she was vilified again by it in the media by palace paid hacks but did it bother her? apparently, the sorry was not all about what erap and company trumpeted it to be, but they made it sound different. unlike kris, apparently, noy is really more of cory. he isn’t the media whore that villar is. he knows the reality, but see it in a different light.
if i will try to put into words here everything in my head right now, i’ll bore everyone. the gist is this, this is the mudslinging time. if you can read the evil’s handwriting now, you will notice that they are starting even to spite the artists in noy’s mtv and of course kris. bongbong marcos’ knows this as is everyone. but still, i am hopeful because the way i see it, they are still mislead by their selfishness. the more they hit kris, the more it will be hard for them because if the 3 sisters of noy will do the next mtv or add their voices more, again, they will be slap silly in public. how can you throw dirt to somebody as silent as ballsy, pinky and most of all viel? the thing is, noy is a public servant, not the politician of marcos’, gloria and villar mold. at the end of the day, noy hasn’t done a thing in the past that go against his morals, his conscience, his people. that is my assurance. all of this is about perception. perception that gibo is the leader we need in this difficult time because of his galing at talino. say ondoy and pepeng and he will be trashed to pieces. he stopped now his gloria praises because it hit home already, that gloria is pulling him down. perception that villar is the best to fix our problem because we need a ceo who rose to business heights even though he came from humble beginnings. but try his darn best to enrich more and pay everybody, rich or poor who offer their soul to his money. perception that noy can’t be it because he is just an ojt for the presidency according to villar. but the reality is this, 80% of the government money goes to the pocket of people in power, we are battling a devil of many names, faces and it all boils down to corruption – corruption of morals, decency. do you seriously think villar can love this country by not stealing? or gibo for that matter? villar with his billions won’t ask for a pay back? are we fooling ourselves? if indeed he has that great love for our people, he can easily build a subdivision, a living for those victims of catastrophe that gibo’s agency suppose to protect without the glare of the camera’s and the people to know. but of course villar is just true to himself, that he is a businessman, a businessman with money but not morals and integrity who will pay everyone willing to lick his ass.
lastly, who is the 2 presidentiables that a certain professor de veyra of UP is currently helping? does anybody know? thanks
