President Noynoy or Benigno Aquino III is the son of the Two Former President, Benigno Aquino Jr. and Corazon Aquino. Aquino was elected to the House of Representatives of the Philippines in 1998, representing the 2nd district of Tarlac. Aquino won re-election in 2001 and 2004, and served until 2007. On June 9, 2010, the Congress of the Philippines proclaimed Aquino the winner of the 2010 presidential election. On June 30, 2010, at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, Manila, Aquino was sworn into office as the fifteenth President of the Philippines, succeeding Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, by Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines Conchita Carpio-Morales. Despite the official residence of the President being Malacañang Palace, his actual residence is located within the Palace ground.
President Benigno S. Aquino III chose to use the “town hall” meeting format for his 100 days report to the nation for better transparency and to make the people aware that nothing in what he says is scripted.This was the explanation given by Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda during an interview Thursday morning with RMN-DZXL on why the President chose to give his hundred days report to the nation at the La Consolacion College along Mendiola, a stone’s throw away from Malacañang. “The President feels that it would be better to hold his hundred days report outside so that people will have access to us. If it were held in Malacañang, they will feel that everything is scripted,” Lacierda explained saying that this was precisely the President’s opinion on the matter. Hopefully, he added, after the hundred days report each of the department secretaries will come out with their respective reports on their accomplishments.
In a related development, Lacierda said that the satisfaction rating of 71 percent from the Class E people surveyed by the most recent Social Weather Station survey shows that the President’s poverty alleviation programs are now making an impact with this sector. During the campaign, Lacierda said, the Aquino camp fared so low with the Class E people, or the poorest of the poor. “We appreciate that because the approval rating shows our message is getting across to this sector. We are still promoting poverty alleviation and anti corruption measures,” Lacierda said. Lacierda said “when we (Cabinet secretaries) meet in small groups with the President, he always reminds us that “we are here to serve the people.” Another survey conducted by the Philippine Information Agency showed that people want the President to focus on job generation, livelihood programs and the eradication of corruption. The PIA survey was done on Sept. 28-29
and involved face-to-face interviews with 629 sectoral leaders including elected officials, businessmen, religious, media and the uniformed personnel.
Of those interviewed, 78 percent said jobs and livelihood should be more important in the government’s priority, 66 percent considered the fight against corruptionn as of utmost importance, 59 percent urged the administration to improve access to quality education and 57 percent recommended the implementation of measures to control spiraling prices of basic goods. In another development, the President said he has appointed former Congressman Tony Roman at the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) and he has scheduled a LEDAC meeting with Secretary Julia Abad of the Presidential Management Staff. “The LEDAC meeting will take up the priority legislative agenda of the President, which were outlined in his first State of the Nation Address last July,” Lacierda added.
