Noynoy’s Platform
A National Leadership in Need of Transformational Change
- Its legitimacy is under question;
- It persecutes those who expose the truth about its illegitimacy and corruption;
- It stays in power by corrupting individuals and institutions;
- It confuses the people with half-truths and outright lies;
- It rewards, rather than punishes, wrongdoing;
- It offers no lasting solutions for the many problems of the country;
- It weakens the democratic institutions that hold our leaders accountable.
- It hinders our local governments from delivering basic services;
- It has no vision of governance beyond political survival and self- enrichment.
A People Crying out for Change
- Corruption robs our children of their protection, nutrition and education.
- Corruption destroys our families and communities.
- Corruption steals from our farmers and workers.
- Corruption deters businessmen from investing in our economy.
- This has eroded our spirit as individuals, as communities, as a people.
- We have lost trust in the democratic institutions we so courageously re-established after the dictatorship.
- Our proven capacity for collective outrage and righteous resistance has been weakened.
- We have ceased to depend on the patriotism and civic engagement that used to animate many of our efforts.
- We have become divided and alienated, focusing only on ourselves and on our individual pursuits.
- Our moral faculties as a people have been paralyzed.
- We have retreated into a dark world of self-absorption and cynicism. Our collective despair has reached its lowest point.
Then finally, the gift of Light
Cory Aquino passed on to the next life. From our sadness, we awakened to a shaft of light cutting through the darkness. She left the
Filipinos a legacy of selfless love for country and people. Filipinos’ connection with each other was rekindled.
In death, she enabled us to hope again for decent government. The millions who connected with Cory at her funeral represented something more than euphoria, sentiment or transient emotions. They represented the reverent memory of a good leader in the past and the firm hope of having a similarly good leader in the future.
A People’s Campaign of Renewed Hope…
- Anchored on Ninoy’s and Cory’s legacy of change through the ways of democracy
- Embraces the qualities of integrity, humility and trust-worthiness in public leadership
- Recognizes the absence of these qualities in government as a major cause of widespread poverty, misery and despair.
The Vision for the Philippines:
A country with…
- A re-awakened sense of right and wrong, through the living examples of our highest leaders;
- An organized and widely-shared rapid expansion of our economy through a government dedicated to honing and mobilizing our people’s skills and energies as well as the responsible harnessing of our natural resources;
- A collective belief that doing the right thing does not only make sense morally, but translates into economic value as well;
- Public institutions rebuilt on the strong solidarity of our society and its communities.
Our Mission:
We will start to make these changes first in ourselves—by doing the right things, by giving value to excellence and integrity and rejecting mediocrity and dishonesty, and by giving priority to others over ourselves.
We will make these changes across many aspects of our national life.
A Commitment to Transformational Leadership:
- 1. From a President who tolerates corruption to a President who is the nation’s first and most determined fighter of corruption.
- 2. From a government that merely conjures economic growth statistics that our people know to be unreal to a government that prioritizes jobs that empower the people and provide them with opportunities to rise above poverty.
- 3. From relegating education to just one of many concerns to making education the central strategy for investing in our people, reducing poverty and building national competitiveness.
- 4. From treating health as just another area for political patronage to recognizing the advancement and protection of public health, which includes responsible parenthood, as key measures of good governance.
- 5. From justice that money and connections can buy to a truly impartial system of institutions that deliver equal justice to rich or poor.
Economy
- 6. From government policies influenced by well-connected private interests to a leadership that executes all the laws of the land with impartiality and decisiveness.
- 7. From treating the rural economy as just a source of problems, to recognizing farms and rural enterprises as vital to achieving food security and more equitable economic growth, worthy of re-investment for sustained productivity.
- 8. From government anti-poverty programs that instill a dole-out mentality to well-considered programs that build capacity and create opportunity among the poor and the marginalized in the country.
- 9. From a government that dampens private initiative and enterprise to a government that creates conditions conducive to the growth and competitiveness of private businesses, big, medium and small.
- 10. From a government that treats its people as an export commodity and a means to earn foreign exchange, disregarding the social cost to Filipino families to a government that creates jobs at home, so that working abroad will be a choice rather than a necessity; and when its citizens do choose to become OFWs, their welfare and protection will still be the government’s priority.
Government Service
- 11. From Presidential appointees chosen mainly out of political accommodation to discerning selection based on integrity, competence and performance in serving the public good.
- 12. From demoralized but dedicated civil servants, military and police personnel destined for failure and frustration due to inadequate operational support to professional, motivated and energized bureaucracies with adequate means to perform their public service missions.
Gender Equality
- 13. From a lack of concern for gender disparities and shortfalls, to the promotion of equal gender opportunity in all spheres of public policies and programs.
Peace & Order
- 14. From a disjointed, short-sighted Mindanao policy that merely reacts to events and incidents to one that seeks a broadly supported just peace and will redress decades of neglect of the Moro and other peoples of Mindanao.
Environment
- 15. From allowing environmental blight to spoil our cities, where both the rich and the poor bear with congestion and urban decay to planning alternative, inclusive urban developments where people of varying income levels are integrated in productive, healthy and safe communities.
- 16. From a government obsessed with exploiting the country for immediate gains to the detriment of its environment to a government that will encourage sustainable use of resources to benefit the present and future generations.
This platform is a commitment to change that Filipinos can depend on. With trust in their leaders, everyone can work and build a greater future together.
"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."

Noynoy is very qualified to run for presidency. With all his contributions and achievements in the Senate plus the commitment and integrity that Noynoy and his parents have shared to the Filipino people, Noynoy Aquino should run for 2010 Presidency.

Bro/Sis, or whoever the person maintaining this site. Kindly please double-check the details about Noynoy’s platform. It looks like it was taken from his website. It’s the platform Noynoy had during the time when he ran for the senate. There’s no mention of the his thoughts/ideas about education, etc. Paki-lang po.

ITULOY PO NATING LAHAT ANG LABAN!

I pray that Noynoy is the man we need! You have my vote Sen. Aquino. I just hope you would include the development of Science and Technology in your platform. Never be blinded by power or money because history will be your judge. This family in Malacañang may be doing as they wish now but soon enough the time will come that God will take away what is not theirs.
KASAMA MO AKO SA PAGTUTULOY NG LABAN PARA SA TUNAY NA DEMOKRASYA!

Being a legislator is totally different from an executive; more so the highest executive of the country. I hope Noynoy shall have the wisdom to carry out such task when he is in Malacanang. He must learn from Jedidiah (or King Solomon).

LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE
Mark Reyes
18 Sep, 2009
When Noynoy decided to run for the highest position of the land, hindi cya naging “atat na atat” na pinagplanuhan at gumastos ng malaki para lang mapansin ng madla, ni wala nga sa planu at panaginip nya ito, pero kung naniniwala kayo sa DIVINE INTERVENTION, eto na yun, taong-bayan ang nagpursige na sya ay tumakbo at hindi ng SARILING AMBISYON. Para cyang si MAXIMUS sa movie na GLADIATOR na ayaw na ayaw nyang tanggapin ang pagiging EMPEROR at tinanggihan pa nya, subalit lalong lumakas at nanindigan si MARCUS AURELIUS na cya ang mas karapat dapat dahil, walang dungis ang kanyang intensyon at pag-iisip, HINDI ATAT SA PWESTO. NOYNOY IS the ONE who can save this country from IMMORAL LEADERSHIP AND GRAVE CORRUPTION
Mark Reyes
18 Sep, 2009
cont…sa mga nagsasabi na ang CAPACITY at TRACK RECORD ang titingnan para maging mabuting presidente, ang masasabi ko ay HINDI. Sino ba ang naka upo ngayon, di ba’t may doctorate pa ng economics, nag aral pa sa abroad, marami nang nahawakang pwesto sa gobyerno etc, katulad din ng iba dyan na MAY AMBISYON ding maging presidente, hindi na uso yan, anu bang napala natin, lahat ng mga katakot takot na kurapsyon dito at kurapsyon doon ay isinantabi lng na parang walang nangyari, oo nga’t maraming nagawang maganda and gobyernong ito, pero sa likod ng mga magagandang nagawa ay nandun ang kagimbalgimbal na pagkagahaman sa pera, BILYON ang pinag uusapan at hindi libo o MILYON, at ito’y galing sa pawis at dugo natin…for me NOYNOY is the MOST AND THE BEST PERSON TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY, etsa pwera na yang nga “___ para sa mahirap”, “____ at tiyaga”, at kung anu ano pa, let us CHANGE THE WAY POLITICS EVOLVE IN THIS COUNTRY, AND ON MAY 10, 2010 is the BEST TIME CHANGE ALL THAT starting today…

18 Sep, 2009
to mr pagunuran, yes it is true NOYNOY capitalizes on CORY MAGIC, it is because dito natin nalaman na kahit anung papogi ang gawin nitong administrasyon na ito, nangingibabaw parin ang kabutihan, integredad at pagiging isang halimbawa ni TITA CORY, MODELO NG MORALIDAD ang kanilang pamilya, alangan namang, GMA magic ang gamitin ni NOYNOY, o di kaya MARCOS magic,
o ngayon sino ba ang mas mahal ng taong bayan, si NOYNOY o c GLORIA?
to mr tolentino, yes it true that legislator is different from being an executive, anu bang napala natin ngayon sa mga sinasabi nating executives, na try na natin ang isang ABOGADO, DATING SUNDALO, SIKAT NA ARTISTA, EKONOMISTA, at ang yumaong ordinaryong HOUSE WIFE na sa bandang huli, ang mas minahal ng tao ay ang ordinaryong HOUSE WIFE, at kahit na sya ay pumanaw na, buhay parin ang alaala nya, now it’s time that of all the qualified presidentiables NOYNOY is the top rated, it’s because sabi nga ni @EFJAY, CHARACTER and VALUES, DECENCY, TRANSPARENCY< HONESTY and INTEGRITY, kahit tambakan kapa ng lahat ng DOCTORATE DEGREE SA MANAGEMENT AT ECONOMICS, at kahit ikaw pa ang may PINAKA sa mga BILYONARYO, kung wala ka nang mga nabanggit ko, sayang lang, mas mabuti pa ang magsasaka ang magpatakbo ng bansa na meron nun…
at sa lahat ng SEAMAN na nakinabang sa administrasyong AQUINO hanggang ngayon, TAMA KAYO, ipakalat nyo sa buong karagatan ng PASIPIKO at ATLANTIKO O INDIAN OCEAN saan man kayo naroon, NOYNOY is the best of them ALL
basta't kasama natin ang DIYOS sa lahat ng gawain, maaaccomplish yan, sa mga nagsasabing sumasakay si NOYNOY sa mga magulang nya, INGGIT LANG KAYO DAHIL WALA KAYONG CORY MAGIC BWA HA HA HA HA HAH. PRESIDENT NOYNOY ON 2010 GO GO GO

We have indeed learned our lessons, havent we, albeit the hard way. We thought track record, experience, achievement, paper visions, slogans, platforms, and popularity are crucial factors to be considered sa pagpili ng kandidato but look at us! Where are we? Lubog sa utang at kahirapan. Ang Indonesia na isa sa pinakadukha at pinakamahirap na bansa ay umaangat na and no less than their president is curbing corruption. Pero presidente natin with impressive track record, educational attainment and all? Ka-tropa at protector nila Abalos, Bolante, et al. Kasabwat ng mga “commissioners” yung mga gahaman sa commission! Kasi walang bahid na honesty at integridad sa pagkatao niya. Tama nga lang na subukan natin si Noynoy. Walang doctorate pero may D rin- for decency. Di superior ang IQ pero may mas matimbang na “I” for Integrity. Walang millions to spend on his campaign because he his virtue of Honesty forbade him to be corrupt. Sinong mas karapatdapat? A record-reaper na magnanakaw o low profile na di mandurukot sa kaban ng bayan? Kay Noynoy na tayo!

@Mark. Agree. So how do we do it? Nabasa n’yo na ba ang latest from Conrad de Quiros (PDI 9/21 – “Fearless Forecast”? It gives me the creeps just to think about it. If it’s true (God forbid!), Garci is just a babe in the woods.

@Charlie, I really hope not!!! There can only be “The One, The True, The Unblemished People Power,” and that was in 1986. The others that followed were poor copycats. But if push comes to shove…? Anyways, we can all pray that the guys working at Smartmatic will refuse to be bought or intimidated to do unspeakable things against Inang Bayan in the coming elections. Or create more noises like “Sir Conrad” to let these people know that we have our eyes on them. Or plant a mole? I know that last one sounds desperate, so you can delete that.
