The Proclamation

Right now I am watching on national television the proclamation ceremony of presidential front-runner Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III as newly elect president of the Republic of the Philippines. The ceremony is taking place at the Batasang Pambansa and attended by the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, important dignitaries and guests, and supporters. This event I must say is a historical one because Noynoy will be the first President elected through automation poll and because it will be for the first time that two members in a family became presidents of this nation. I am referring of course to the late former President Corazon C. Aquino, Noynoy's mother, Asia's saint of democracy. Further more, after the proclamation, Noynoy will be the first bachelor president of the nation which make it more interesting.

Although Aquino was not the candidate I voted last election, I am still happy with what is happening right now since he was my second bet. Who was the first? Guess it. Ha ha ha...

I just couldn't help laughing at this moment with Sen. Pimentel's humor while listening to his sponsorship speech. According to him, he's happy that the proclamation ceremony is holding in broad daylight and not in the witching hour of early morning in which only witches can witness. Is he referring to the previous proclamation of soon to be descending from the presidency, PGMA? Then he jokingly added that PCOS has now a new meaning and that is President Cory's Only Son. Ha ha ha... It seems that most politicians at this very moment are in good mood.

Finally, Noynoy has been proclaimed as President elect! Same so with Binay for the Vice President position. I wish both leaders, as they step next month to their respective positions, the best of everything. May God give them the wisdom, the will, and the strength in solving the problems of this country especially now that the nation's debt has already reached the amount of approximately 4.3 trillion. Whew! Good luck guys!
