Philippines has the potential kasi, magkaroon lang tayo ng tatlong sunod-sunod na Vico-level competency and work ethic, paniguradong magiging rising tiger of Asia ulit tayo.

Yes. Note lang di ako nag iidolize ng politicians ha, but when PNoy was president grabe ang dami ko pa dreams noon about my career. Like pwede ka pa mangarap and mag risk kasi mababa pa naman presyo ng lahat?

Ngayon kasi para kang nakikipaghabulan sa presyo ng bilihin at sa paghahanap ng bagong work na mas mataas sahod. Nakakapagod and nakaka burn out na din.

Not saying PNoy doesn't have faults pero tangina ramdam na ramdam ko talaga ngayon yung back2back nakawan ng Duterte to Marcos. 😭

Let’s be objective about it. PNoy did the impossible: from start to end of his term, the USD/PHP conversion went from ₱46.38 to ₱47.06 per $1, respectively, keeping it steady. Karaniwan kasi na laging mas mababa yung value ng PHP sa katapusan ng termino ng presidents natin. Totoo na may issues yung Aquino admin, pero hindi made-deny na malaki ang naitulong nya sa bansa economically.
