Here's hoping for a better Philippines

As the whole country welcomes in the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines, I will be with my family at home hoping for a better Philippines. I did not vote for President Noynoy because of so many reasons. Then again, I believe that, whatever our differences may be, each of us should help his government in uplifting the lives of our countrymen. I will never say "I told you so" to those who voted for him because I believe that we are all part of this new administration.

President Noy, I hope that you live up to your promise of zero corruption in the government. I hope that you can usher in a better Philippines by placing the most people in your cabinet not because you owe them your victory but because of their obvious competence. Lastly, please take care of your health by quitting smoking. Or at least try puffing an electronic cigarette instead.

I'm anxious and excited at the same time. Isn't it obvious as I am writing this at midnight? I believe that, with the new President, a change for the better will come. But this will only be possible if we all unite and stop pulling each other down. I hope that we can at least do it for the sake of our children.
