I’ve been blogging about Pres. Noynoy since yesterday, and these are just tidbits I saw while watching the inauguration: – Ninoy left Times St. at 9:45am on the dot and I admire that
-According to the news anchors of ABS-CBN, he had burger patties and fried rice for breakfast, a simple fare for the next president. I saw VP Binay’s house earlier and breakfast was catered….haha!
Stopping on red lights. Truly admirable and he is showing that discipline comes into play even through a simple act as obeying traffic lights. setting an example is the best way to start a good governance.
-The historic walk to Malacanang at 10:25am with the two presidents, shaking hands and smiling at the press people around. What could they be thinking?
-Riding together going to Luneta at the Presidential car. I wonder what they talked about.
-The last farewell of outgoing Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Although she is considered as the most unpopular president, I felt kind of sad that she was saying goodbye.
-VP Jejomar Binay riding on his E-jeep. Truly Filipino!
-It’s a virtual sea of yellow, the yellow color being the trademark of the Aquino family from the time Ninoy died until now.
-Charise Pempengco, our international celebrity singing the National anthem Lupang Hinirang, makes you proud to be Pinoy!
-Baby James waving at the crowd. Showbiz talaga ang dating 🙂
-The mini-concert led by the Apo Hiking Society, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Gary Valenciano, Christian Bautista , Noel Cabangon and the UP Madrigal singers.
-Enrile reading Proclamation of Aquino-Binay Victory at around 11:16am. Pres. Noynoy ‘s parents must be smiling in their graves.
-DFA said that there were about 100 foreign dignitaries who attended the inauguration
-The actual oath-taking done by the VP and the president, it’s the highlight of the event.
-The Inaugural Speech – I had goosebumps listening to Pres. Noynoy deliver it.
-The trip back to Malacanang, this time as the new President of the Philippines.
-Pres. Noynoy briefly stopping by the large portrait of his late mother, Pres. Cory Aquino. I shed a tear or two watching that scene.
Bravo Pres. Noynoy!
Neither did I vote for NoyNoy (Gordon ako) but I believe I am hopeful about his presidency. I am actually also encouraged that his sisters (yes, even Kris) are all-out in their support through NGO work.

Pareho tayo ng binoto. His sincerity shows. Sabi nga nila, “kung ano ang puno ay siya rin ang bunga”, so I also believe that he would do everything to make things work for all of us.

hahaha. Wow, all three of us voted for Gordon but I’m also hoping for the best. If PNoy gets good people to work with him, things may just work out.

Let’s hope for the best Mary An. I am positive there would be CHANGE for the better. I was looking at the list of his cabinet, mga decente rin naman with no known bad track records.

After that resolution she and her son immediately passed in Congress for a Cha – cha…. whatever tepid feelings I had about her leaving Malacanang, faded away (as I wish she would…)
Hindi pa nga na wa-warm ang seat niya, gusto na magcha-cha. Wala na kaya siyang alam na ibang sayaw?
