Noynoy’s Platform

a letter to Senator Noynoy Aquino:

Mr. Aquino, I am thankful for what your parents/family have done for the country. Our family was one of the many victims of martial law; in fact my grandparents died fighting for freedom.

I trust your sincerity. I voted for you as a senator when last run for the seat. But I do appeal that you write your own legacy instead of using your parents’. I know you have every right to do so but being the son of the most high profile people can sometimes be a weakness too.

As a citizen, I appeal that you go out the limelight of the popularity of Noynoy-Mar tandem – instead, please specify your VISION and MISSION to our beloved Pilipinas.

Corruption is only one thing and also our justice system. What is your vision for education? employment? business investments? globalisation? long-term vision for economy? strengthening our armed forces without relying on U.S. government? You have to give light on this. Hindi pwedeng lagi na lang, “ipagpapatuloy ko ang nasimulan ng aking mga magulang”…pasensya na po pero narinig na namin yan makailang beses na.

Naniniwala po kami sa inyong sinceridad, ngunit walang malinaw stratehiya kung papano nyo po tutugunan ang mga issues at papano palalakarin ang gobyerno.

Mr. Aquino, my vote goes for you but I hope you respond to this challenge.

May God bless you in your leadership.

@Mark, walang problema, ipa-translate natin sa mga mahuhusay sa Filipino dyan.

thanks bro charlie

thanks din in advance sa mga makakapagtranslate din

Guys let’s pray for our kababayans na affected ng flood, nakakaawa sila talaga, they were caught by surprise. Let’s all pray for them.

I wrote this letter in the wake of Ondoy’s aftermath but never had the chance to send it. I couldn’t help but think that what happened in Ondoy was not mere coincidence right after the death of your mother, our beloved Tita Cory. It just had to happen a month before Ondoy’s destruction. During your mother’s funeral,
I was among those who were glued to the internet, witnessed to several Facebookers comments
from all over the world, how the Filipino spirit is really a spirit of service, embodied
by your mother, our dear former President Cory Aquino.

Now, Ondoy gave the chance for most Filipinos to concretize this by allowing a lot of us to
forget our little discomforts to think of our fellow Filipinos in agony. How fitting also, that the movie
Up should be shown 2 weeks before the typhoon, as if saying, there really comes a point in
time, you have to let go of all material attachments because the human spirit isn’t bound for
that. The human spirit is greater than that, it is meant for service, for meaningful relationships

Responsible Parenthood
I am all aware, dear Senator, of your position regarding the RH Bill. When you said,
that it will be second to your priorities should you be given the chance to serve, I was
saddened and alarmed. I’m a lay person in the middle of the world, employed in a software company yet leading a volunteer group that aims to fight illiteracy.

I’m not stating my position without any backup of reasons and/or convictions. The Church
does support Responsible Parenthood but that which stems from responsible acts. However,
responsibility stems from ownership of actions. A man of integrity, when acting on something,
accepts and owns the consequence of it. If he doesn’t and resorts to means that will
prevent him to fully own the consequence, he’s selfish and coward. Such are those people who
promote contraception. They do accept the pleasure for pleasure’s sake, yet set aside the
consequence. The Natural Family Planning on the other hand, strenghtens the moral of the people,
makes sacrifice (and in this case the sexual pleasure), the integral component of the family,
transcends to society and indeed to the nation. You may say that it’s very hard to teach
the poor family these things? Well, you may be surprised, dear Senator, about the simplicity of
these people. In my experience, it is the working class who do not accept these teachings.
Ironically, they who can support a larger family, do not do so because of a lifestyle that
they had embraced.

Yet, it is clear that the RH Bill is intended for poor people who seemed to be, in the
language of the “learned”, breeding like parasites. Yet we commonly see this scenario and most
aggravated in the city. We have lured the people into thinking grand about the city, that
there’s promise there, that the ‘famous celebrities’ are there, their migration
be the envy of those who are left behind.

These mindset is what cause them to flock in the city passing on to the next generation their sorry plot.
And yet even if you curb their numbers,how sure are you that they won’t be less miserable then?
Clearly, this isn’t going to the root of the problem. The problem is the lack of opportunity in their province.
How developed are they to ensure there’s enough job for everyone. There were little developments in the province,
Mr Senator. People are professional tambays. They aren’t creative. They aren’t taught
to be creative, in a country so rich and beautiful. Can’t they be trained to maintain historical sites?
Or to help promote culture? Or to preserve nature amidst tourism? Because they all can’t be selling beads
and souvenir items. We aren’t creative Mr Senator.

@lechar, Your hope,is the thing that gave Noynoy the needed courage and inspiration to fight for the transformation of this society . We have been victimize by the corrupts for so many,many years now . We as filipino must shout in one voice , we deserve not to be ruled by crooks,we deserve to have a better nation and we deserve a country much better than what we have today.
The ball is now in our hands , please do your part ,let’s do our part and everybody must do their part to make the Philippines a better place to live for us and for the next generation ….

tama ka dyan kaibigang Dennis Villarta…
nasa kamay natin ang pagsusulong ng tamang lider para sa kinabukasan ng lahat…
salamat sa iyo at sa iba nating mga kaibigan sa philstar na walang sawang nakikipagkwentuhan sa mga bloggers na gustong sumira sa katauhan lalo na ang kredibilidad ng pamilya ni noynoy…
pero napansin ko lang ngayong araw na ito, mukhang maraming nawala dun sa mga double blade bloggers…
tinamaan na siguro sa mga kabutihang ipinapaliwanag natin, at mukhang dumami na rito sa noypi_ako ang nagpopost ng comments…
anyway, nabunyag na si villar sa kanyang kagahaman gamit ang pwesto sa gobyerno, dapat lang maipaalam sa mga pilipino ang tunay na kulay nya para maliwanagan ang isip ng ilang nadadala sa kanyang mga pangakong siguradong hindi mangyayari…
eto naman si gibo, lumabas na rin ang mga sinasabi natin nuon na hindi imposibleng wala siyang alam sa massacre sa maguindanao…
si toto na miso ang nagsalita at nagpatunay na si gibo mismo ang nakipagusap sa kanya para hindi banggain ang mga ampatuans…
salamat sa diyos at naimumulat tayo sa mga mapaglinlang na kandidato…
sa mga susunod na araw ay marami pa ang mga lalabas na katotohanan, nawa’y si noynoy ay hindi malihis sa kanyang namana sa mga magulang na malaki ang pagmamahal at pagkalinga sa ating bayan…
sa mga nabasa kong article dito, tama lang na ipaglaban natin siya hanggang sa huli…

ang mali kasi, yang si acosta, para lang din si gordon, tuta ni gloria. bakit? kasi naman kung si pamatong ang tinanggap ng nuisance na comelec, bahala sila. kaso, si acosta, una sa balota if ever kasi alphabetical yan. imbes na si noy ang una, mauuna pa yang anino na acosta na yan, para lang pang-confuse. ano ba kayang pandaraya ang lilitaw bago mag may10,2010? go figure!

i was not amaze about the platform post. it is not specific and it is not direct. it is easy to compose a sentence or paragraph like that. even a high-school student can compose a sentence like that. what i want is specific on how he will do that and what is the plan. and i’m expecting more plans.

here is a comment from Perry Chloride on 2010presidentiable forum

Hindi naman platform niyan eh. Campaign promise yan eh. Ang platform dapat nakalahad ang mga detalyadong programa ng isang kandidato.

When kaya makakapunta dito Olongapo si Noynoy at Mar to bring their message to the people here?

Guys huwag tayong mag away dito. ang napaka importante ay ang mabago ang pilipinas. at sana pakinggan kung manalo si Sir.Noynoy sana pakinggan pa rin nya mga suhestyon natin. Sa totoo lang may ilang mga tumatakbong presidente na may magandang hangarin at plano. At sana kung manalo ang beat natin na si Sen. Noynoy sana ipagpatuloy nya ang mga magandang plano ng mga matatalo. at sa mga supporters sana po kung gaano ang pagsuporta nyo kay Sir Noynoy sana ganun din ang pagtulong nyo sa mga mahihirap. sana po ay hindi lang ang mga sarili natin ang isipin natin kundi mga mas mahirap pa kaysa sa atin.
