Noynoy Aquino Platform of Government

Seems some people online are enjoying themselves, bashing Noynoy Aquino. And why not? These people are still clueless and misinformed, and about what?

What's the platform of your government, Mr. Aquino? When your father ran for Senator and president, he presented a very clear Nationalist-inspired platform, something concrete, lucid and palatable to the tastes of the electorate. In your case Mr. Aquino, nada. Are we, the people, not deserving of your attention? At least during this Christmas break, please find time to sit down with your advisers and hammer out a platform. That way, people will not say that the Noypi campaign is all fizz no substance.

That's what people are saying online about Noynoy. This just shows that these people failed in research.

Noynoy Aquino has 16 very simple "points to ponder" in his site http://www.noynoy.ph/. If Gordon has his transformative politics, Noynoy has his "transformative leadership". The platform has sixteen (16) points, namely:

1. A government headed by a President who will be the foremost crusader against graft and corruption.
2. Job generation is top priority to realize or concretize economic gains or data before the people.
3. Education as central strategy, meaning the Noynoy administration will surely invest in enhancing the skills or the potentialities of human resources to combat poverty.
4. Advancement or improvement of public health.
5. Enhancement of the justice system
6. An Executive department that dispenses equal justice and fair to everyone.
7. Recognition of farms and rural enterprises as key engines for achieving food security.
8. Anti-poor programs that widens economic opportunities for the poor.
9. A government that promotes conditions for growth of all economic sectors, big or small.
10. A government that promotes local employment opportunities and takes care of Filipinos who decide to work abroad.
11. Political appointees chosen based on integrity, competence and performance.
12. Professionalization of the government bureaucracy.
13. A government that promotes gender equality in all spheres of life.
14. " A broadly supported peace initiative" in Mindanao--whatever that means.
15. Allow the building of "Inclusive urban communities"--whatever that means.
16. Sustainable use of natural resources for the betterment of the country.

Notice some familiar key phrases and concepts? Yes, you guessed it---every single word in Noynoy's platform of governance has been reflected in previous State-of-the Nation (SONA) addresses of every single president since Marcos. In fact, read the Medium Term Development Plan of the government---each and every item there is uncannily similar with those found in Noynoy's platform of Government.

Words or key phrases such as "sustainable use of natural resources", " broadly supported peace initiative in Mindanao", "professionalization of the government bureaucracy", "job generation", " equality", and "education as central strategy".

So, do we expect things to change if we elect Noynoy Aquino into office?
