Noynoy aquino

[ale828]

True. Kaya walang perpekto sa kanila.

No President is perfect. They are not infallible. Lahat yan may good and bad things na nagawa.
Kahit cguro si Erap kahit gano kasaglit mayrun din naman nagawa na mabuti.
It all depends on where you are that point whether the good affected you or the Bad has affected you more.

[_Cathy_]

I was happiest during the Presidency of Pnoy. I was too young during (Marcos, Cory and FVR) I was unhappy with Erap (joined the EDSA II rally), I was so so with GMA and I DESPISE Duterte.

Duterte didn't visit the wake no? Anyway I should have made abang in Sucat but I woke up too late. But I promise I will visit the grave of the BEST President so far in my lifetime...

EDIT Pnoy had a GSD pala, naiyak ako lalo He is such a great guy - loves cars, guns, music and dogs

[gongrhey]

Ang masasabi ko lang, Salamat Pnoy sa pagsisilbi sa bayan. Hindi madali ang maging pangulo sa dami ng problema ng bayan. Sa tingin ko ginawa naman nya ang kanyang trabaho sa abot ng kanyang makakaya.

[kagalingan]

Lol! May naghahanap ng perpektong tao. Iboto mo si kagalingan.

Kagalingan? Tss wala namang binatbat kay ob un eh.

He was an honest, decent, and very private man. He was also one of our most effective presidents.

President Noynoy Aquino did not have a remarkable stint in Congress prior to his landslide election as president. He won mainly as a result of our country’s outpouring of love and sympathy on the passing of his mother, our beloved President Cory. He was elected by a people eager to regain their faith in their leaders after 12 years of division amid corruption in government’s highest levels. Filipinos gave him their trust, which he reinforced by forming a Cabinet made up of men and women of very impressive competence and integrity.

President Noynoy’s leadership was quiet, humble, and respectful, and it was effective. Through his personal integrity and his administration’s credibility, diligence, and competence, he gained the confidence and support of the majority of Filipinos, not the least of whom was the business community. As chair of the Makati Business Club, I was often the spokesperson for the advocacies and concerns of the business community voiced through the Philippine Business Groups and the Joint Foreign Chambers and had ample opportunities to interact with the President and his key advisers and congressional leaders. We were treated with respect and our views were discussed seriously, and while we did not always agree, mutual trust was established and we became very willing supporters and collaborators in the pursuit of common economic goals. The PPP model of public-private partnerships came to life and gave rise to numerous infrastructure and other vital projects.

Even outside purely economic concerns, the business sector found an administration willing to listen and respond, and thus through Philippine Business for Education, we collaborated with the Department of Education and became principal advocates of the shift to the K-to-12 basic education system, a very significant and much-needed reform for Philippine education. In support of Philippine history and culture, the PNoy administration provided unprecedented funding for an entirely new National Museum of Natural History, and when the project needed support from the private sector, the response was massive and immediate, and the result is now present for all to see, a living example of a world-class public-private partnership.

Soon enough, the rest of the world began to notice that the Philippines, under the enlightened management of President Noynoy, was worth a fresh look, and we were back on the radar screen of global investors. The tone from the top was set by a President who lived simply without a tinge of greed or corruption and who seemed truly determined to do only what would improve the lives of his people. He practiced good governance and respected the rule of law. And he was supported by a respected Cabinet who shared his vision for a better Philippines. These plus a reform agenda that was implemented competently proved to be a potent formula for a successful presidency. Was it perfect and trouble-free? By no means, but the results throughout his term were there for all to see.

The Philippine economy grew an average of 6.2 percent and twice exceeded 7 percent, the best performance since the 1970s, and the Philippines obtained its first investment grade score from a major credit rating agency. In rankings of global competitiveness, the Philippines scored major gains from 2010 to 2015: from 115th place to 70th in the Economic Freedom Index, from 92nd to 64th in the World Economic Forum Global Enabling Trade Index, and from 85th to 47th in the Global Competitiveness Index. Foreign direct investments improved from $1.07 billion in 2010 to $8.2 billion in 2016. Employment rose and 7.7 million Filipinos were lifted out of poverty.

Finally, in the administration’s crowning achievement, we stood up to China and forcefully asserted our sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea by obtaining a unanimous ruling from the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague that rejected China’s sweeping claims under their “nine-dash line.” Through this bold initiative, President Noynoy restored Filipino pride and showed how much can be achieved through principled courage and confident action.

Like his parents before him, President Noynoy served his “bosses,” the Filipino people, extremely well, and we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Maraming salamat, Mr. President.

How did PNoy fare? | Inquirer Opinion

How did PNoy fare?
By: Solita Collas-Monsod - *inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:06 AM June 26, 2021

PNoy was not my candidate for President in the 2010 elections, but he was certainly head and shoulders above the rest of the “frontrunners”—former president Joseph Estrada and Sen. Manny Villar. The smell of corruption surrounding these two were enough to make one’s head turn away.

So when he won, I derived some comfort from the fact that at least the Philippines was spared from a more miserable fate. And he had two things going for him: (1) He was unencumbered by a potentially exploitative wife and/or greedy offspring, which from bitter experience, would have a deleterious effect on the country; and (2) he had a degree in economics, which I think equips one to make better decisions than most.

I can hear your reaction, Reader: Gloria Arroyo had a PhD in economics, for heaven’s sake. And where did that leave us? I can only say that she was, unlike Aquino, encumbered.

Well, how did PNoy fare? I will dwell only on two aspects: his “Daang Matuwid” or fight against corruption, and his performance on the country’s gross domestic product.

On the fight against corruption, I offer as evidence Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and its reports on countries’ corruption levels since they were first published in 1995, during Fidel Ramos’ term. Thus, we can compare corruption under five presidents.

The Philippines had a score of 2.8 (0 is the most corrupt, 10 is the cleanest), under Ramos; we were 36th out of 41 countries included. Definitely in the bottom third.

Then in 2000 (Estrada), it was still 2.8, which means no improvement in corruption, and we were ranked 69th out of 90 countries—still bottom third.

Fast forward to 2005, in the middle of Arroyo’s 10-year term: The CPI had deteriorated to 2.5, and continued downwards, so that by 2010 when Aquino came in, it was 2.4. So between Ramos and Arroyo, per the CPI, the country had become more corrupt.

In 2011, the Philippines’ CPI was up to 26 (the scale had been changed to 0 to 100, with 0 being the most corrupt and 100 the cleanest). In 2012, it shot up to 34, the highest level in 17 years. It increased to 36 in 2013 and to 38 in 2014, its peak. Those were great leaps, relatively, for the Philippines which was, for the first time, in the top half of countries. And our CPI was higher than our Asean-5 neighbors. But we still had a long way to go.

Unfortunately, that was short-lived. Our CPI deteriorated to 35 in 2015. And in 2017, under Rodrigo Duterte, it went down to 34. In the latest CPI report, we are still at 34, and the Philippines is ranked 115th out of 179 countries.

Takeaway: PNoy’s performance in trying to reduce corruption, judged from Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, has been the best among his three predecessors and his successor.

And if this still does not convince you, fellow Filipino, you can see with your own eyes: Any mansions for PNoy? Any luxuries? Not one. His house in Times Street is proof positive that he did not enrich himself in office.

Now, for his performance on the country’s economic growth. The conventional way would be to compare average growth rates under each presidential administration. But saying that the country’s GDP grew at an average rate of 6.2 percent under PNoy, or 3.8 percent under Marcos, etc. does not really drive the point home to the Reader. So let me try it another way, using the same data:

President Arroyo, in her 10 years of presidency, succeeded in raising the value of the country’s gross domestic product (the market value of the final goods and services produced in the country in a specified period of time) by about P3.6 trillion (at 2018 prices). Population during that period increased by about 14 million.

President Aquino, in his six years of presidency, raised the value of GDP by P4.7 trillion, with the number of Filipinos increasing by about 10 million.

And finally, President Duterte during his 4.75 years in office, has raised the value of GDP by about P2 trillion, even as Filipinos have increased by 6 million.

This shows that Aquino fared better than his immediate predecessor, and it looks like he will fare better than the present regime.

So yes, Ballsy, Pinky, Viel, and Kris, your pride in your brother is well-founded. Our deepest condolences to you and yours.
