Barely a few hours into swearing in a new president, we Filipinos must truly feel a sense of renewed hope. After all, President Noynoy Aquino carries a name that has signified positive change for the past quarter century. But he only has six years to do it all.
The son of an assassinated opposition leader and a former president has been sworn in as the 15th president of the Philippines.
Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino won a convincing victory in elections in May with pledges to stamp out corruption.
Today is a proud day for the Philippines, everyone is proud to be a Filipino.
