One response to “Walang Pumipilit kay Noynoy na Maging sina Superman at Einstein”

    I think na pinapababa ni PNoy ang expectation ng mga tao sa kanya kasi sobrang pressure din ang nasa kanya as the son of heroes tapos ngayon presidente pa rin siya. Feeling ko kasi ang mga tao me hero-worship na tinatransfer ke PNoy na alam niya hindi niya kayang i-meet. Ang problema sa maraming Pilipino we either complain or wait for things to happen. This is not what he wants to represent kasi. Gusto siguro niya is kumilos mismo ang mga Pilipino para sa sarili nila. Tama siya the president can only do so much. He is capable to great things pero the common Filipino, the common man is capable of much more. Because the Filipinos can survive wherever you put him. We are all smart enough, foolishly brave enough to make our country great.

    All I expect from him is not the programs that he can do, not the infrastructure that he can build, nor the jobs that he can make happen, it is a cleaner, better, more transparent government. I know that three years, six years won’t, an entire lifetime won’t be enough to stamp out corruption, political arrogance and graft. But I hope that he can keep his promise that he would lead by example. That is all I want him to give us all. The jobs, the great economy and all that he has promised would just be a bonus. Real public service is all that I need. No more red tape, lesser if he can’t stamp it out. And a work ethic that would put shams of politicians and their clout to shame.
