Do I still trust President Aquino ( the current president of the Republic of the Philippines )?

The month of May marks the one year anniversary of the 2010 national elections and as many of us Filipinos look back to the years before, it seems that nothing much has changed. Thoughts such as mentioned is a hot issue on many surveys and polls and a hot topic on the television an radio news. So, "Do I still trust President Aquino ( the current president of the  Republic of the Philippines  )?"

As to the question, there are things that I would like to express:

1. I do not support any political party. 

2. The people I've voted during the elections, are people chosen by me.

3. I am not a die hard Aquino family fan.

4. The things that I write are my opinion. So, just hear me out.

YES. I STILL TRUST OUR PRESIDENT DESPITE things and many other living situations in Philippines are not so pleasing to many right now.

MY REASONS:

1. On the day that the President presented to the Filipino people his platform he promised us two things, first that he would eliminate corruption here in the Philippines and second, that he would solve the growing poverty situation here in the Philippines. Such promises are broad and pervasive in many sectors of the Philippines and it is quite difficult to eliminate immediately what with all the rising prices and the existence of other people who are corrupt.

2. As to the promise of eliminating poverty, its hard to eliminate. As I've mentioned there is rapid inflation worldwide  and that is something that the President cannot control. In the first place he doesn't have control of such crisis. It is not like he owns every industry here in the Philippines so that he can control the prices especially when the Philippines is much dependent on  imports.

3. We may have good presidents, however,  as the saying goes, " No matter how good the tree is, despite such, it can still grow bad fruits". To put it simply no matter how good the president is, he is not corrupt, etc., if he is surrounded by people who are corrupt, then his government is no good. Such corrupt people will undermine the way he manages the government, his leadership. We Filipinos tend to overlook leadership and would prefer more to see the President in action. That the president be the one doing everything. If we can't see that then we immediately say that the president is no good, which is a bad habit of many of us Filipinos.

4. If we can't  help ourselves from poverty, how much more if the President. We ourselves have to work hard, think properly.Strategize because as far I'm concerned, living here in the Philippines is like business, you have to watch out and learn and know our life's risk and diversify.  I will tell you a situation here in the Philippines why many would cry from poverty. Not many people, both in the provinces and in the many cities, are uneducated and illiterate because they are poor, they work and by sometime they get laid-off by some company, they happen to have a family, a  wife and husband , who either both work or either of the two for a meager salary of below the minimum ( Php285), an example wage would by Php150/day but they have  9 children. So, how do you expect them to support their family.
