    we're still alive.
    hope springs eternal.

    i am reminded of mother russia.
    whenever the old tsar dies and the new tsar steps in,
    the peasants hope that the new tsar will be better than the old one.

    This is how I feel about Pnoy

    Opposite nga ng sinasabi ng Dutertards that the LP is using the death of Pnoy, because if they did e di sana nga hindi ni cremate at nag wake ng matagal

    So my short and vague take on this is, psychology.

    Matindi na ang divide sa politics lately, yung Mom and Aunt ko nga, they NEVER fought in their 70+ yrs of life e si Trump lang pala pag aawayan.

    Earlier my Mom forwarded something about Pnoy to her pseudo daughter in the US and she was shocked when she responded negatively (Kris will die next daw) My Mom was so upset, she will give her a piece of her mind daw. I told her "do you want another fall out with someone close to you?" This "sister" of mine, hates Trump so my Mom didn't expect her to be Dutertard. This isn't the typical mold of a dutertard na crass and uncouth, she comes from a good family, prim and proper and well educated. Lately maiksi na patience ng Mom ko sa mga trumptards at dutertards, she used to NEVER talk politics with those na opposing views sa kanya

    Alarm bells are ringing among DDS and Marcos supporters. Ninoy died, Cory got swept into power. Cory died, Noynoy got elected.

    The contrast
    DEMAND AND SUPPLY - Boo Chanco (The Philippine Star) - June 28, 2021 - 12:00am

    “No fake news. No troll army. No cuss words or vulgarity. No rape jokes. No one had to explain what he actually meant.

    “Mistakes were made, sure. But he walked the talk, fueled the economy, fought for us and won against China.”

    That’s how a Facebook meme by a Jerald Acosta captured the essence of the moment as we mourn the death of our 15th president and suffer the current one.

    The contrast is sharp. And it is a contrast that could not be appreciated in our polluted public space until PNoy died last Thursday morning. Duterte has propagated a culture of hate powered by trolls and hopelessly divided our nation.

    The past few years saw a president catering to the worst of the Filipino through coarse language, ***ist remarks and disregard of the law. Perhaps, another Aquino death will help us recover from all these and get the people united for our common good.

    I am not a fan of PNoy, having lost much of my hopes for his presidency during the last two years of his term. I found him too aloof, lacking in empathy and too trusting and tolerant of incompetent people who let him and the country down big time.

    Many saw the aloofness and lack of empathy as the cacique culture at work. The elites are lording it over and making everyone feel like outcasts. That helped elect Duterte.

    I also made the mistake of focusing on the transportation department, the lousiest department under PNoy in terms of performance. But there were other things his administration accomplished overall.

    Surprise, Surprise! Shortly after the former president’s death was announced, Rep. Joey Salceda, a stalwart of the current administration in Congress, did the honors of recognizing the accomplishments of PNoy.

    First in Rep. Joey’s list is how PNoy’s watch contributed to a stable macroeconomic policy: average real GDP growth rate at 6.2 percent; average annual inflation at 1.4 percent; increase employment rate from 92.7 percent in 2010 to 94.2 percent in January 2016.

    Investment on infrastructure was also increased from 1.8 percent of GDP in 2010 to an average of three percent of GDP during his term, with around 3.3 percent in 2015.

    PNoy also improved fiscal policy: around P60 billion raised with sin tax reform; became a net contributor to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), making available $251.5 million to the IMF to finance the assistance program – the Financial Transactions Plan (FTP) – for crisis-stricken countries; almost consistent improvement in revenue and tax performance.

    Joey didn’t mention it, but the BSP did: it was under PNoy’s administration that we received our first investment grade rating from an international credit rating agency.

    In terms of ranking in global competitiveness: In the Economic Freedom Index in 2010, the Philippines moved up to 70th place from 115 when he took over from GMA.

    In the Global Competitiveness Index – We moved up to 47th from 85th under PNoy.

    In the Global Enabling Trade Index of the World Economic Forum, we moved to 64th under PNoy from 92nd in 2010.

    In poverty reduction, Salceda noted that under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, 7.7 million Filipinos were lifted out of poverty; bottom-up budgeting allowed for more resources towards rural and poverty reduction programs.

    The K to 12 education reform PNoy initiated allowed the Philippines to be at par with much of the world in terms of years of education.

    Other achievements in education: 89,720 classrooms were constructed from 2010 to March 2016, with another 95,429 scheduled for construction. This is coming from a shortage of 66,800 classrooms in 2010 and more than double the number of classrooms built from 2005 to 2009.

    The 1:1 ratio of textbook to students was also achieved; 170,000 additional teachers were hired and technical assistance was provided to more than 10 million youths for skills training.

    In foreign policy, PNoy went to court over the ownership of key features of the West Philippine Sea, which resulted in a ruling affirming the Philippines’ claims by the Arbitral Court in The Hague; forged a close relationship with the Philippines’ traditional allies, the United States and Japan.

    On Public Private Partnerships: he signed Executive Order 8, creating the Public-Private Partnership Center which helped launch PPP projects.

    Some PPPs initiated include: the P9.89 billion PPP for School Infrastructure Project Phase 1, which addressed the backlog in the number of classrooms in public elementary and high schools. The project was completed and inaugurated on Jan. 6, 2016.

    The P3.86 billion PPP for School Infrastructure Project Phase 2, which constructed 4,370 one-story, two-story, three-story and four-story classrooms. By Oct. 31, 2015, 1,690 classrooms were already completed and delivered to the government, with the rest expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

    The P1.72 billion Automated Fare Collection System for the MRT 3 and LRT Lines 1 and 2, a project the Aquino administration approved in 2012.

    The P26.5 billion Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, a 14.8-kilometer, elevated expressway envisioned to decongest traffic in Metro Manila.

    PNoy also fully-funded the Bicol International Airport.

    But Salceda omitted projects started by PNoy, but rebranded as Duterte projects such as CALAX, PITX, MRT7, LRT2 extension to Antipolo and Mactan Terminal 2.

    Actually, PNoy could have inaugurated those projects within his term if the transportation department was better led. So, credit for completion went to Art Tugade and Duterte.

    In disaster risk reduction, PNoy integrated the Disaster Risk Reduction/Climate Change Adaptation (DRR/CCA) project in 75 out of 81 provinces; established Project NOAH, which helped local governments plan for hazards.

    The poisoned political atmosphere under Duterte is denying PNoy much of the credit he deserves. But his unexpected death has given us pause to recognize what he has done… minus the fear of having our human rights violated.

    It’s funny how some people say PNoy’s elitist attitude drove them to Duterte. But five years of Duterte is making people appreciate Noynoy Aquino more.

    Maybe, like his father’s and mother’s death, his death signals new political winds blowing. Only time will tell.

    Now that we are able to recognize PNoy’s legacy, the sharp contrast with the brutality of our current times, enough to catch the attention of the International Criminal Court, will hopefully wake people up.

    It must have been pretty difficult for chanco to write that having been a rah rah boy of duterte before. I think this is The 1st time he's acknowledged his seeming regret for campaigning for mang kanor. In the recent past puro puna lang naman siya sa admin ngayon. Dedma lang naman siya pag pinoint out sa twitter acct nya na digong supporter siya dati.

    do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

    Thus the blatant lies on socmed. Pero we really need to get our s*#t together and choose the right people for the job not only because a well revered figure passes on but for the sake of everyone including the succeeding generations, or then again in this country that is simply too much to ask.


    Ah let me rephrase for him “more doomed” dapat hehe
    Correction, doomedest. Ha ha ha

    I also know that Chanco was a du30 supporter until pandemic hit and the admin response to it, and finally the shutdown of ABS CBN his former employer.

    I guess he is one of the elite being mentioned, and I hope Noynoy’s death will spark soul-searching for our country, because we desperately need another one?

    My guess on why Noynoy had a quick cremation and burial is it was his wish (not to mention covid restrictions) and his family respected that. Low profile kasi siya. Does not want attention like an introvert. Ganito din ako when I eventually die. Let me rest in peace agad. Hehe

    i forgot way back '09 when Cory died na cremated ba siya like PNOY? or not?

    Ganito na rin siguro ako pag namatay. Quick burial lang. because i'm an introvert-ish kinda person.

    Also my guess, remember na tinawagan ng admin yung mga sisters (quid pro quo) make it simple, meaning cremate, in exchange for 10 day mourning.

    In hindsight magaling political perception ng admin na ito, imagine if it is not cremated madaming nag-abang sa kalsada sa libing ni Pnoy from Ateneo to Manila memorial park.

    presidents are only public figures

    it's the people close to the president who really run the country

    if you have power ambition you don't have to run for president lalo if you don't have the brand power to win a presidential race

    just make one of your more popular friends run -- if your friend wins, you win

    dati people made FPJ run coz he had the name/brand (but lost, and he died from stress caused by the campaign... talk about being used)

    dati people made Noynoy run

    ganyan lang ang politics

    you need a big name / brand to win a presidential election

    i'm not talking about performance or accomplishment or potential performance or accomplishment

    the goal is makapasok ng malacanang

    get it?

Noynoy aquino
