He raised too much hope and expectation in the Filipinos, while talking about change, his elimination of corruption and poverty during the campaign trail. Today, incoming President Noynoy Aquino admits that his six year administration may not make a major difference in Filipinos’ lives, being saddled with a slew of problems, including worsening poverty, pervasive corruption, decades-long insurgencies, empty state coffers and crumbling infrastructure all inherited, he says, from nine years of misrule of Gloria Arroyo. “You have to be humble to say you are not Superman and Einstein combined. You don’t have all the solutions at your fingertips from Wednesday,” Aquino told reporters. So why didn’t come clean with the Filipino people during the campaign period and admitted that while he is seeking the presidency, he can’t promise to put things right, nor can he come up with the solutions to the problems that he will be faced with, once he assumes the presidency? Why did he raise the hopes of the Filipinos, knowing that he can’t hack it? Or is he seeking, this early, a longer term in the presidency through a Charter change that would allow him to run for office again for another six years?
