<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1377" title="bitter" src="http://www.jimerston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bitter.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="233" /></td>

<p>The day after the election, the Philippines is waiting for the fast results while the numbers are getting bigger for Noynoy though it&#8217;s only a partial and unofficial tally. While on the other hand, Manny, Gibo, and Dick, like gentlemen, gallantly conceded defeat, and wished the winner, all the best, in all the challenges that lies ahead until 2016.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, after the polling day, a lot of their supporters are obviously still ranting &amp; raving, wishing that Noynoy fails as President. Because we all know even though Erap has the history of graft and corruption against him, still until now he is still in the top list getting most of the votes.<span id="more-1373"></span></p>
<p>Haller. Facebook frenzies and twitter users are not SWS and Pulse Asia.</p>
<p>WTF? Just because your candidate lost, you want the country to lose too?</p>
<p>A government is NOT built, and does not succeed, on the basis of one person.</p>
<p>I did not cast my vote for Noynoy but I respect the majority of the people who votes for him and thinks what&#8217;s best for the country.</p>
<p>After Cory, FVR, Erap, and even GMA &#8220;won&#8221; in 1986, 1992, 1998, and 2004, and those who supported Roco and FPJ did not act like little children and throw tantrums.</p>
<p>Instead, we wished them all the best, wished the Philippines the best, and moved on as one.</p>
<p>Any President&#8217;s success, whether or not you voted for him or her, will be your success so don&#8217;t be like kids.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t even dare to think otherwise, or wish the country harm. If you won&#8217;t be part of the solution, then you&#8217;re the problem.</p>
<p>And oh, for the instant oppositionists and ad hoc election experts?</p>
<p>NOYNOY AQUINO garnered the most votes for President ever in any election in Philippine history.</p>
<p>So please respect Vox populi. Because really, if you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;re just being&#8230;AMPALAYA!!!</p>

<p>Every time I mingled with other people specially with my friends, the topic and the question that always arises &#8220;Who is your bet?&#8221;. With the 5 days more to go (as I write this post) before the election we can now clearly see who will gonna win.<span id="more-1345"></span></p>
<p>These are the big names that are being uttered whenever they answer, NOYNOY, GIBO, ERAP, and for vice it&#8217;s BINAY or Roxas. Did you noticed someone missing in their list? Your guess is as good as mine.  Despite of his enormous amount of airtime in television alone, its a wonder why VILLAR&#8217;s popularity suddenly dropped as compared to his status on the first stage of his campaign since last year.  When I asked them why Villar is not their popular choice anymore, most answered they are afraid on how he will recover his expenses since he claims that they are from his own pocket.</p>
<p>Some religious sectors have already announced their support to certain candidates. Although we can question the solidarity of their voting bloc, still this has big influence in the chances of the candidates to win. I just hope that the voter&#8217;s will vote wisely base on the integrity and qualifications but not merely on what was mandated to them.</p>
<p>We are all given the power to choose which was established since the time when the first man and woman was put in the garden of Eden. The Lord gave them the freedom of choice but never dictated them on their decisions. God wants us to show that He is not a dictator.</p>
<p>In our present time, the Lord is always here to remind us to be on the right path but still the final decision will still be ours. Let us seek the wisdom of the Lord to help us in choosing the right person to lead our nation. And let us all unite for a peaceful, orderly and honest election. Amen.</p>
<p>A lesson has been learned from the past and I believe that this time, it&#8217;s our last chance to correct that mistake. Sometimes we commit mistakes because of the influence in our surroundings and we listen to it. This country of ours is great so many potentials and talented people living with firm decisions not influenced by others. I know sooner we will rise and shine like the sun and stars in our flag because of the new leaders we will now selected.</p>
<p><strong>My Shortlist:</strong></p>
<p>President: Villanueva, Gordon, Erap, Gibo, Noynoy,<br />
V. President: Fernando, Roxas, Binay</p>
<p>President: Gordon, Erap, Gibo, Noynoy<br />

<p>In what seemed to be a prophecy, Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. once told his only son Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to serve and lead the country in the best of his capacity.</p>
<p>In his letter to Noynoy dated August 25, 1973, almost a year after Martial Law was imposed, Ninoy lamented his incarceration and asked his son to continue his advocacies.</p>
<p>“The only advice I can give you: Live with honor and follow your conscience. There is no greater nation on earth than our Motherland. No greater people than our own. Serve them with all your heart, with all your might and with all your strength,” the older Aquino said.</p>
<p>“Son, the ball is now in your hands,” added Ninoy.</p>
<p>Thirty-six years later, Ninoy’s hunch proved to be true—with his only son now taking oath as the 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines.</p>
<p>Although Ninoy and his wife, the late president Corazon Aquino (who died of cancer August 2009), did not live to see this day, the younger Aquino took his oath before his four sisters, Ballsy, Pinky, Viel, and Kris, and before millions of Filipinos who believed his promise to eradicate corruption.</p>
<p><strong>‘So help me God’</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1486" title="naquino2" src="http://www.jimerston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/naquino2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="250" /></p>
<p>Amid cheers, Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales administered Aquino’s oath of office at the highly yellow Quirino grandstand, minutes short of the 12:00 time as mandated by the Constitution.</p>
<p>A 21-cannon salute was delivered after Aquino’s oath while two choppers showered the crowd with yellow rose petals.</p>
<p>Fr. Catalino Arevalo, the family’s spiritual adviser, held the bible where Aquino symbolically placed his hand as he delivered his oath.</p>
<p>Earlier, Vice President Jejomar Binay also took the oath administered by Morales.</p>
<p>In a brief but highly symbolic move, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo formally relinquished her post to President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1487" title="naquino3" src="http://www.jimerston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/naquino3.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="250" /></p>
<p>The two arrived at the Quirino grandstand at exactly 10:35 am and exchanged handshakes before the crowd.</p>
<p>Earlier, Aquino and Arroyo shared the presidential car, a tradition in inaugurals.</p>
<p>At the Quirino grandstand, Arroyo then made her final pass in review. She was seen smiling at the yellow crowd.</p>
<p>Arroyo then left with her personal car.</p>
