Repercussions of Poll Results

The Filipino people have spoken. They favored a sincere candidate that will attack the twin problems of corruption and poverty. Thus, majority of them voted for Noynoy Aquino as the next president of the country. As of this writing, Aquino is leading his next rival in the most number of votes by five to six million votes, with almost 90% of the clustered precints from all over the transmitting their results. Congress has agreed to make an official canvass of votes for president and vice-president respectively much earlier than the scheduled May 31 date as prescribed by law.
The expected ascendancy of Noynoy Aquino as the next President means that the
country is facing a regime of change. And this change is directed towards leading the Filipinos to a path of renewed national transformation both in themselves and and in their government. Meaning, the kind of governance that Aquino has hinted he will follow is one from the heart and with a conscience with only the Filipino people and the country's welfare in mind. Grafted to this mission is the promise to implement the reform tasks to stomp out graft and corruption as well as eliminate or neutralize the threat of poverty by giving each Filipino an opportunity to improve his/her economic standing in life. Six years is a long time for a determined government to improve and institute reforms in the country. Aquino will continue to enjoy the trust and support that he received in the recent polls by putting into action the programs that he outlined during his campaign sorties. He only needs to make his bold moves and the Filipino people will follow.
