I don’t know who first coined and tagged this term to our new President but I like it. PNOY is read as Pinoy which is a local slang for the word Pilipino. I like it because it, kind of, bridges the gap between the Poor Masses (us) and the President. Unlike, PGMA which sounded more like a bad advertisement for a local Philippine Television Network, PNOY sounded more down-to-earth which is exactly how President Noynoy Aquino presents himself on and off camera.
PNOY’s first week as President of the Philippines had its ups and downs but that’s to be expected. PGMA, like Marcos, left the country in disarray (huge debt, political killing, corruption cases and scandals, midnight appointments and many unexplained actions done by the former President). She might have helped a few people (friends, family and supporters) but, in general, the country isn’t doing good. PNOY and his band of Merry Men will definitely have their hands full in putting everything back in perspective. Fighting and eliminating corruption within our government systems is not an easy task specially when those who will be affected are people in power. (more…)
