PNOY VOWS TO DO BETTER

 

Aquino makes New Year’s resolution, cites gains of ‘matuwid na landas’ advocacy

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III has resolved to further improve the lives of Filipinos in the coming years as the nation rises from the morass of grave and acute corruption and poverty.

In his New Year’s message, Aquino thanked the people for their continuing support and confidence in his administration.

He cited the fruit of his straight path, or matuwid na landas advocacy, saying the nation is better off now than in the past one and a half years.

“Sa ating pag-angat at sa tuloy-tuloy na katuparan ng ating mga  pangarap, magpasalamat at bigyang-halaga po sana natin ang mga grasya ng Panginoon ngayong taon. Sa mahigit isa’t kalahating taon nang pagbagtas natin sa tuwid na landas, nakikita na natin ang pagbangon ng bansa, mula sa malubhang katiwalian at kahirapan. Unti-unti na po tayong nagtatagumpay laban sa mga problemang ating dinatnan. Ikumpara po natin ang kasalukuyan sa mga panahong lumipas. Gaano man po katindi ang pagpipilit na magtanim ng agam-agam sa ating isipan, wala naman po sigurong makakapag-dudang nagbago na talaga ang Pilipinas. Ngayon po, ibinabalik na natin ang piring ng katarungan. Ang kaunlaran ay natatamasa hindi lamang ng mayaman at makapangyarihan, ramdam na rin ng mas nakakarami nating kababayan.    Nakikita naman po natin ang bunga ng ating ipinunlang mga reporma: may maalab na sigla at pag-asa, mataas na kumpiyansa, at malawak at mas maraming mga oportunidad sa bansa. Ang taon na papasok ay hindi lamang pagpapatuloy ng ating naumpisahang mga reporma, ngunit ng mas mabilis pang pagbabago,” the President said.

The country’s economic development is no longer felt by the rich and the powerful but also by the ordinary citizens, he said.

He also stressed on the importance of the cooperation between the government and the citizenry in achieving sustainable progress and development in the years to come.

Aquino also cited the reforms  under his stewardship, including fair and efficient service of justice and  economic progress and development for all.

He urged his countrymen to cherish and be grateful for the blessings showered on them  by Divine Providence in the year ending.

“Magpasalamat at bigyang-halaga po sana natin ang mga grasya ng Panginoon ngayong taon,” he said.

Wrapping up his New Year’s message, the President said: “Salamat po sa patuloy ninyong pagsuporta at pagtitiwala. Manalig po kayong hindi kailanman kukupas ang matingkad nating hangarin na umasenso ang Pilipinas at ang mga Pilipino.Hindi tayo patitisod sa nais pa ring umagrabyado sa mga Pilipino. Sa bayanihan ng ating pamahalaan at mamamayan, wala pong makakahadlang.Hangad ko pong makatamasa pa ng maraming biyaya at tagumpay ang mas nakakaraming pamilyang Pilipino.

“Isang masaganang Bagong Taon po sa ating lahat.”
