Labor Day and the Hacienda Luisita Issue: Is Noynoy Competent Enough?
This day is very special. Today is May 1, Labor Day. It may not be very obvious but there are a lot of people who wants one of the top presidentiables Noynoy Cojuangco Aquino to answer questions regarding the Hacienda Luisita controversy – especially because his family gets a tiger share in the hacienda.
He is part of the Cojuangco Family, at the same time he is running for the presidency and the election day is coming up in a few day’s time – there is a need for people to be assured that this won’t happen again; that Noynoy be cleared of this issue. This is one of the many tests he has to combat as his family has owned the hacienda for around fifty or so years already.
Call on Media for Fairness in Reporting this Upcoming Elections
There are 18 more days to go before the elections. I finally got the chance to register myself as an official voter of the Philippines just months ago. A lot has happened through the course of those months – the emergence of the presidentiables and their partymates. Each milestone of the upcoming elections has been covered by the media. That is why they play a significant role in influencing voters’ opinions.
In the 18 years of my life here on earth, I have never seen an election season as hyped as this one. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of people really want their clamor for change be granted, probably because the upcoming 2010 Philippine elections will be crucial to the progress of the country in all sectors of the nation – whether it is political, economical, cultural etc.
Nowadays, 90% of the news is election-related, 5% is showbiz news and 5% others. This might be an exaggeration, but the point is that the upcoming elections are clearly getting most of the attention of the public compared to past elections. This is actually a good thing. Social media and sophisticated technologies help speed up information dissemination and make it easier for people to translate their messages – one can find information on the Internet even if they weren’t able to watch the news on TV.
Noynoy Aquino Decides to Run for 2010 Presidency Race
He has broken his silence.
After his spiritual retreat last week, Noynoy Aquino decided to run for the 2010 presidency race. He announced just earlier that he will be the standard bearer of the Liberal Party (LP).
“Tatakbo ako sa pagkapangulo sa darating na halalan,” announced Noynoy at the fortieth day of his mother’s death, the Saint of Democracy, Cory Aquino.
The announcement was made at the Club Filipino, Greenhills, San Juan. This is also the place where his mother took oath for her presidency on February 1986.
Mar Roxas, Kiko Pangilinan, Rodolfo Biazon and other celebrities and reform groups graced the momentous event.
Noynoy Aquino Laud as New SB for LP; Roxas Concedes
I am not really sure if this is a good move or a good sign; I think that Noynoy is a better candidate than Roxas. If the presidentiable that they asked to step down is Villar, Noynoy will probably snag the presidency in 2010. What a great shifting of events.
Though I know Roxas has been preparing since 1994; his sign, him getting the top spot in the Senatorial polls, to presidency wasn’t enough to break an inevitable twist that the Cory Magic has brought to the feisty Philippine politics.
This should be exciting.
