Dear Noynoy

[Qui-Gon Jinn]

Para naman sa akin,walang problema kung kamag anak, kaibigan basta huwag lang maging parang ugaling GMA and Co. Parang tayo rin yan, mas may tiwala tayo sa mga kaibigan natin, matino man or ulol. pero mas bibigyan mo ng importansya yung matino. May mga kaibigan din naman tayo. O sige, si Mikey Arroyo na lang ilagay sa Immigration, Si Dato sa Customs, si Pidal sa Public Highways.......tutal hindi niya mga kaibigan mga ulol na mga yan! Hindi rin kamag anak! Si Gloria nga, wala ngang kaibigan, kamaganak sa gobyerno, dami naman kaklase at studyante ng mag asawa. Wait lang muna natin ang results, husga kaagad eh. Kung may kurakot, nagnanakaw, dun tayo ngumawa ng husto para maikulong at hindi bumalik ang ala-GMA na administration.

 

Bro, like you, I am putting all my hopes that PNoy will do good and deliver. If you will read my post which was quoted by the person you quoted (kulit no), I was pointing out the conflict of interest...true, wala namang masamang mag-appoint ng kaibigan or kamag-anak provided na naaayon ito sa batas...pero kung may conflict of interest diba mas makabubuting wag na muna ipagpilitan?

Dear Noy,

 

Please read this commentary:

 

Noynoy Aquino will unwrap his tales from the dark side today in a State of the Nation Address (Sona), supposedly detailing the horrors committed by Gloria during the twilight of her nine-year misrule.

 

The Sona will likely be a rehash of Noynoy’s inauguration speech spiced with “shockers” which are Gloria’s dark legacy to Malacañang.

 

Thus far, almost a month into the presidency, Noynoy had failed to give the nation even a hint on where his six-year administration is heading. What has been done thus far was for him and his propaganda team to come up with a plethora of promises is no different from his campaign pitches. His presidency, as it is turning out, appears to most a mere extension of his days in the campaign trail.

 

His Sona, even with the revelations he is expected to tell the nation, will not likely be of any help, again, in charting the direction of his administration.

 

The Palace said that the Sona would be a recounting of the true state of the nation less Gloria’s enchanted tales that Noynoy’s aides believe is a commendable path.

 

Many, however, have already heard his promises and his show of good intentions ad nauseum and many have been waiting for Noynoy to spell out where he expects to take the nation under his helm.

 

The Sona would be a perfect occasion for Noynoy to show his confidence in being a leader of a nation and to show Filipinos that he knows what to do as the president.

 

He had in the past and will give today the nation ways on how not to be a president again with Gloria as specimen. Filipinos are through with that, well, except his yellows who are also still in a campaign mode. But Noynoy should start showing how he intends to become a leader and a president of all the Filipinos, and not just of the yellows.

 

But lack of leadership has remained as evident in the way the Cabinet is being apportioned among the groups backing Noynoy with the many business interests that contributed to his presidential bid all properly represented in his government.

 

The delegation of authority, while extremely lacking during the term of power-hungry Gloria, seems to have been overdone during the first few days of Noynoy with him seemingly clueless on what is going on right under his nose.

 

For instance, Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson has been announcing that he is taking over the helm of the Manila Water and Sewerage System, the water service regulator, and when asked by media about the supposed appointment, Noynoy confessed he was unaware of it. Singson was the former president of the moribund Maynilad Water Services Inc.

 

The Sona would also be among the few chances of Noynoy to directly talk to Congress which is a branch of government he is expected to have a hard time communicating with, due to the lack of numbers among Liberal Party (LP) members. While LP members in the House of Representatives have boasted to now being the dominant party, its force mainly is made up of alliances from other parties, including that of some Lakas-Kampi members who still owe allegiance to Gloria.

 

Noynoy might as well use the Sona to pitch for a compact of cooperation with members of both the Senate and the House to enable quick resolutions of what he terms as the many tasks being confronted by his administration.

 

Noynoy can make use of more for his administration through the Sona instead of adding another layer of promises to the list he had already given since his campaign days or to again count the ways Gloria made off with the National Treasury.

 

He had said that the Truth Commission will take care of Gloria’s excesses and it is enough for him to assure the people that all her misdeals will be looked into.

 

The nation knows Gloria left huge problems for the nation and Noynoy should already be enumerating the ways to resolve these. Filipinos are already familiar with the abuse done under the Gloria administration to express shock about these.

 

What would shock the nation more is if Noynoy would merely recount such horror tales without any solutions offered.

Oh please, why not wait until AFTER the SONA before you start looking for cheese to go with that whine.

 

Let's face it, your beloved Gloria is probably the most hated person in the land now, and with what seems to be good reason. She may have been an effective president, but effective at what? Preserving her power base and promoting her supporters?

 

I didn't vote for Benigno 3, but give him at least the same benefit of the doubt instead of going on and on shall we?

I thought this is a "Dear Noynoy" forum? All posts should be addressed to Noynoy, di ba?

 

BTW, the post you reacted to is Daily Tribune's Editorial -- it is not about SONA per se, it is reacting to Noynoy's showbiz style "teasers" about his upcoming "expose's" at SONA.

Good point

 

Dear Noynoy;

 

Go on and enjoy your task of attempting the rebuilding of this nation after the former president has stolen most of the money of the nation. I do hope you learn to ignore the very loud vocal minority that are still brown-nosing the former president who has fled before your speech can further show how much of a crook she is despite the illusions of others. I do hope however that it is true that you will also be presenting solutions to those problems.

dear p'noy:

 

alam kong malabo na pero i'm still hoping to see you visiting again the quezon avenue clubs (after your term?) like you used to. hope you'd be more lax and permit atw shows as long as the audience are 21 years old and above.

Dear Noi,

 

Kung nahihiya ka ng magpunta sa quezon avenue clubs, pwede ba si joshua naman ang magpunta? Kailangan mabinyagan na iyan!

Dear Noy,

 

Bandit and I are very disappointed that you did not present in your SONA any solutions to what you perceived as the worst state of the nation the country has ever been dumped into -- just your intentions -- to make us dream again.

 

I feel bad for Bandit because he was really hoping for it.

 

Don't worry about me, though. I never expected anything from you, anyway.

Dear Noy,

 

I feel you should institute a policy ensuring our citizens can learn to read and understand as it is obvious that some people are illiterate or worse unable to understand your speech thus proves that our education is sadly lacking somehow.

 

I feel bad for camiar because he can't seem to grasp the meaning of your speech.

Now how silly is it that a Dear Noy forum, meant to express our messages and wishes for a better country, is being inundated with petty lil fisticuffs between MTC members?

 

Dear Noy,

 

Lead by example.

 

If you care that your government becomes incorruptible, appoint good men to your cabinet, not the same old trapos in newer barongs.

 

If you care that your people at least attempt to lead healthy lives, lead by quitting an unhealthy habit. It's a no-brainer. Only a diehard smoker or Coryista would disagree.

 

If you care about honesty and integrity, keep all your promises. The people have pinned all their hopes on you. They actually shed tears of joy at your first SONA.

 

If you care that people move forward against all odds, move forward yourself and stop blaming the past for your future inadequacies. No matter that you might be accurate in your assessment, the blame game only weakens our already weak national character. We've wasted too many years blaming (pick one: Marcos/Cory/FVR/Erap/GMA) while our neighbors moved forward despite greater difficulties. If you must point fingers, follow it up with real action - punishment. If you don't have the stomach to punish, shut up and move forward.

 

Man up, grit your teeth, and start working.

 

Or not. You're always free to earn the ire of a righteous, indignant opposition.

Dear Noy,

 

Tapos na ang eleksyon at ikaw ang aming 15th President (Yung 14th eh peke yun..Ayon sa marami hehehehe!) Ngunit marami pa rin dito ang may eleksyon fever pa rin! Hanggang ngayon ay bitter pa rin sa pagkakatalo ng kanilang kandidato (Marami sigurong na-harvest na ampalaya sa farmville).

 

Noy, sana ay mapatunayan mo sa mga Pilipino na na puwede na ulit tayong mangarap!

 

Humakbang mula sa pakikialam tungo sa pakikilahok. Dahil ang nakikialam, walang-hanggan ang reklamo. Ang nakikilahok, nakikibahagi sa solusyon.

 

Natutuwa ako sa katagang ito sa iyong Sona, Bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan ay wag magagalit!

I wonder what his smoking has to do with being a leader?

 

Dear Noy;

 

Don't worry about the self-righteous people that talk about your smoking, you are in good company. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were both smokers. If you become a non-smoker you may join the ranks of Adolf Hitler, Mao-Tse Tung, and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, all of whom are prominent non-smokers.

Dear P-NOY,

 

Please forgive them for being simpletons on that they know not what they do...they say things that they know nothing about..a man with little knowledge is dangerous than a man with no knowledge at all. Please forgive them for their transgressions as their mind only knows how to brag about their lack of experience. Please forgive them if they only know how to talk and not act, they dont know how to contribute but merely becomes sniveling dogs of idealism on a wayward path...

 

Wag kang magalala may mga natitira pa naman sa amin ng may malasakit at may kakayahang tumulong sa iyong dakilang adhikain na para rin naman sa sambayanag pilipino..wag mo na intindihin ang mga bobo at mga kulang sa gawa at puro ngawa..pakitaan na lang sila ng matahimik ang kanilang mga naglalaway na bunganga...

[camiar]

Dear Noy,

 

In the Presidential SONA, youre supposed to tell us what the situation now is and what you intend to do until the next SONA. What Ive witnessed is a campaign speech.

 

You fooled a lot of people, even in this forum, into thinking that you have a solution. But all you have presented are intentions very well meaning intentions, though. But your so-called solutions will not happen in the next 5 to 6 years even if you start today.

 

So, for now until the next SONA, you have nothing to offer.

 

Just an invitation for us to dream again.

 

Nice try.

 

Lucky for you, many of us Filipinos cannot tell the difference between intentions and programs of action.

Dear abNOY,

 

Tulad ng inaasahan ko, wala kang naiprisintang kongkretong solusyon sa mga problema ng bansa sa SONA mo, mukhang extension lang ng pangangampanya, nakakatawa dahil yung mga bobong supporters mo dito sa forum ang nagsabi na mismo na "tapos na ang eleksyon" pero mukhang ikaw mismo ay parang nangangampanya pa rin sa SONA mo. Ano na nangyari sa mga pinangako mo nung kampanya? bakit wala kang nailatag na mga hakbang kung ano ang mga PROGRAMA mo para mai-ahon ang bansa natin kundi halos puro reklamo. tama nga siguro ang sabi ng iba, na tila kumakambyo ka ngayon sa mga pinangako mo noong nagdaan na eleksyon, yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko, mahirap yung mga binitawan mong mga pangako nung kampanya at sinabi ko naman noon pa na hindi mo kayang gawin sa kapasidad ng utak mo yung mga ipinangako mo, kita naman sa track record mo simula ng maging congressman ka hanggang sa senado, wala kang ginawa, ngayon pa kaya na presidente ka? kaya lang yung mga nauto mo sa eleksyon, sila na rin ang nagsabi na "mangangarap" na naman sila, sabagay kuntento na silang mangarap dahil mukhang walang mapapala ang sambayanan sayo. sabi pa nung isa mong supoter este supporter mahirap daw yung kulang sa gawa at puro ngawa, eh teka, ikaw na naman yata ang pinatatamaan nun, dahil puro ngawa ang ginawa mo sa SONA.

 

Nga pala, ano ang reaksyon mo sa sinabi ni Elena Bautista na sablay yung sinabi mo sa SONA na kaunti na lang ang natitirang budget for 2010, aba'y mukhang hindi lang daw nagresearch yung mga appointees mo (NA NAMAN) kung accurate ba o hindi yung sinubmit nilang report sayo or kung saang bangko nakadeposito ang pera para sa budget, mukhang makukuryente ka pag nagkataon kapag sablay (na naman) yung ilang sinabi mo sa SONA..kung tama si former Sec. Bautista pang ilang kapalpakan na yan sa gabinete mo samantalang wala ka pang 1 buwan dyan sa pwesto mo.

 

Buti na lang at hindi ako kasama or isa dun sa "MANY" na sinasabi ni camiar.

Yeah, Noy. Shame on you. The people who supported Gibo expected you to fix all the ails of the country with one speech. Why didn't you? Gibo could have done that! Ganun ang tunay na galing at talino. He is the greatest president ever... even if he can not even 10% of the vote.
