The circumstances that led to Noynoy becoming president are God given. Had Cory lived for another year – Noynoy would not have been president. Had he not been the beloved only son of a martyr and a revered icon of democracy – and maybe if Kris had not been Kris – Noynoy would not have been president.
Child of destiny? Written in the stars? Fate? God’s will? Call it what you will – but it’s all of the above. It was meant to be that Noynoy would be president of the Philippines.
God made him president so that in out despair we would have new hope for a better Philippines – for a better future for our people. All men and women of good will must help out in this great endeavor.
It is impossible for Noynoy to succeed as president – if good people do not pitch in to help him.
To rid the government of its invasive culture of corruption alone seems an impossible task.
“BIR,” “CUSTOMS,” “Department of Public Works,” “Department of Education,” – just hearing these words alone makes us cringe. These words are synonymous with government corruption.
He also takes over an almost bankrupt government, and a Supreme Court whose members are all appointed by President Arroyo. There’s also the midnight appointees and positioned military personnel all beholden to Arroyo.
An enormous task lies ahead for the new President elect. The only thing he can be sure of is that if he is true to the ideals of his father and mother, if he lives centered on what is true and right, if he does not make deals with the devil – then good men and women will be behind him – helping him out.
For now, let’s just be happy that our worst fears did not materialize. Let’s thank God and celebrate.
