Early Days of the Aquino Presidency

President Benigno Aquino III, who wants to be called P.Noy by the media and his people, has assumed power and is now busy performing the duties and responsibilities as leader of the country. His Cabinet people are almost complete, except maybe the post of the DILG (Department of the Interior and Local Governments). Right now, pending the final selection of who'll take over the post, Aquino has decided to temporarily head the agency. Otherwise, the various agencies and departments of the government are now in full operation and functioning on target to implement the campaign promises of Aquino to the people.
During his inaugural address, he is quoted: "Walang wang-wang, walang counterflow, walang tong!" It is a pledge to the Filipino people. Thus, the campaign to fully ban the use of sirens and blinkers by unauthorized individuals is in full effect. The PNP has given recognition to this desire of P.Noy to stop the illegal practice of using blinkers and sirens in traffic stops. Although there is law about this, dating back as early as 1973, it has not been completely enforced due to a culture of "palakasan" which is endemic in the socio-political life of Filipinos. Now, this practice is being challenged, no less than the President of the country.
Looking back, President Aquino made a declaration during his speech to the nation at his presidential inauguration that he will be a role model to the nation in its attempt to be great again. In effect, the call for nationalism and patriotism in words and in practice has been launched by the son of Cory and Benigno Aquino. The Filipino people are witnessing the renewal of effort to improve their lives by re-doing the pledges and promises that have been made in the past. They now blaze a trail of greatness and prosperity --- one final time.
There maybe parallel efforts of this kind in other countries wanting to develop and improve their lands and their people, but the patriotic effort now getting refurnished in the Philippines is entirely unique and totally Filipino, and it started when President Benigno Aquino III gained political power as the head of the country.
