Oh, so they are BOTH ROYALTY RULERS taking turns?
"Aquino promises better future; New leader vows to bring justice to the Philippines" by Carlos H. Conde, New York Times | July 1, 2010
MANILA — Promising to end the Philippines’ intractable corruption, Benigno S. Aquino III took office as the nation’s 15th president yesterday to face a welter of urgent challenges, from a swelling budget deficit to the iron grip of regional clans that have not hesitated to resort to brutality....
The new president tried to revive hopes of deep change, promising in his speech to listen to Filipinos and work for their welfare. He swore into office 26 Cabinet secretaries, a mix of new faces and old hands, some of whom had served under Aquino’s predecessor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, but who quit over accusations of corruption against her.
Arroyo took office yesterday as a congresswoman.
In his speech, Aquino addressed his justice secretary, Leila de Lima, who is known for her independence in investigating human rights abuses. “Secretary de Lima, you have your marching orders,’’ he said. “Begin the process of providing true and complete justice for all.’’
Aquino, who rose to the presidency on an outpouring of good will after the death of his mother last August, said his first step as president would be to ensure honest leadership, starting with small measures like banning his cars from using sirens or running red lights, a promise that brought loud applause. Many Filipinos see this practice — common among politicians — as an abuse of power.
Happens all the time over here in AmeriKa.
Aquino promised to create jobs and a stable environment for investment in the Philippines, where 10 percent of the population works abroad and one in four people live on the equivalent of a dollar a day.
You know, this economic system the globalists and Zionist bankers devised really sucks for a hell of a lot of people.
In his speech, Aquino did not mention land distribution. The issue is especially sensitive because his family has declined to distribute land from its vast sugar plantation, as required by the government’s agrarian-overhaul program.
Another no-change change, world?
You might have to wait a bit, Filipinos.
He got stuck in traffic.
That's news, Globe?
