Half a dozen bits of unsolicited advice against triviality

By Oya Arriola

Editor's note: Oya works at the British embassy in Manila, but she points out that this piece is hers and not her employer's.

Knowing your comfort zone is well and good. Having the courage to step out of it to do what must be done is what fulfills destinies.

I don't really care about how you decide which barong to wear on your proclamation. I need to know that you have vision beyond the 30th of June.

Whether you keep smoking or quit the habit is none of my concern. Whether you have the political will to deliver your promised reforms is.

I am not interested in whether you're getting married within the next six years. I want to see that you can build working coalitions to govern effectively.

It doesn't matter to me that you choose long-time buddies to be part of your Cabinet because you feel at ease with them. I'd like to know that you choose your team because you know they can deliver.

It's all the same to me if you choose to live in Malacanang or Times Street. Where your heart lies and whose interests you protect will spell the difference to me.

Veronica I agree w/ you . Hindi ako magnanakaw was his election promise.We'll see how PNoY will stop corruption in DPWH,AFP, Customs, BIR , PNP, Dep Ed , Agriculture, NIA, NFA, Immigrations, etc etc etc easier said than done. Corruption in the City of Makati. I do'nt know. the Veep is eyeing for DILG at this early.He is eye'ng already for 2016 Pres'tl election under the disguise of serving the local govt. Dios ko po !

one wish for all the oversea contrcat workers to pnoy. sa laki ho nang mga padala ng lahat ng oversea contract workers sa pilipinas. I think in billions of dollars & still increasing by the day. can you po make dramatic change in the system like create a retirement plan for oversea filipino contract workers like a reasonnable pension that is free of corruption. simple & easily understandable to the average filipino & make it punnisable by death for who ever is going to be the head of this agency if its funds is used for other things instead of its sole purpose. that way lalong magsikap ang lahat ng oversea contract worker if they have something to look forward too. thanks. god bliss mr. president pnoy

Dear newly elected president of the Philppines,

I have high regard and confidence in you as the first in the history of the Philippines the first single gentlemen which I believe you can do more particularly on the agricultural development, our tourism industry which are majr source of revenue.

Hope too that genuine reconcillation reigns in your government especially in your sincre reconsillation and in handling the Marcos cases which must be applied in accordance with what the law applies without any biased to attain a peaceful and prosperous Philippines.

congaratulation for being the 15th president of our country. I, or should I say, millions of Pinoy & Pinay are jubilant and looking forward in seeing you succeed in reforming the P.I. we as a Filipino we should regain our respect and dignity in the international community. Your new cabinet teams motto should be Philippines will progress. the quality of life I always say, no one (community) should be left behind or neglected. We have alot to look forward to in you, please take care of our beautiful country. Start with lots of infrastructure, invest in it, our education system, hospitals and our food program. We will do our best and work hard as a citizen to give support to our clean conscience officials that will present a meaningful programs to help every citizen. Thank you and God be with all of us.

Election 2010 is another history to our country. How many elections I already witnessed, but what the candidates promised to the Filipino people is also the same. Now for me I am really tired of being filipino, I am used to here the words " kaya nating ito"..."kasaganahan sa kinabukasan"..."ako ay para sa mahihirap"...etc. Mahilig mangako ang sino mang gustong mamuno sa ating bayan pero ang mga pangakong iyan naman ay sadyang maganda lang sa pandinig at hindi naman napapatunayan. Sa ngaun isa ako sa overseas filipino worker dahil pinili ko magtrabaho sa ibang bansa at ayaw kong umasa na lang sa mga sinasabi nilang kasaganahan sa buhay...ayoko na rin makinig sa mga "Pangako" na sa huli hindi rin naman natutupad. Sana, sa Pagkaluklok ng bagong Pangulo ay mabigyan talaga ng pag asa ang ating bansa at hindi lang sa Pangako mauwi ang lahat.

I pray for the success of our 15th President, OFW po ako ang nakikita po namin sa ating Gov't ay kadalasan ay papano ang gagawin sa naipun na pera sa pag-aabroad. Nguni't kung e-survey niyo ang mga OFW karamihan saamin ay upang e-sustain lamang ang aming Pamilya lalo doon sa mga may anak na nag-aaral. Kaya ang nangyayari pabalik-balik na lang dito sa abroad, para kaming nawalan na ng karapatang' makapiling ang aming pamilya, ang iba saamin dito ay more than 10-25 yrs na. Kung mayroon sanang plano ang Gov't doon sa gusto ng umuwi makapiling ang pamilya nguni't nais pa nito mag trabaho dyan o negosyo man ay makatulong ang magiging programang' galing sa Gov't malugod po naming pasasalamatan ito.

Dear P-Noy the 15th president of my home country the philippines. as a OFW, my concern is to create a program that can be benifited to all OFW, like for example;1. The philippine government should have a retirement fee for all OFW who had completed for each contract, and if ever he/she could continue the contract from the employeer it will be calculated for its years when he/she resigned from the employer; 2. we noticed that it is not fair for all contries regarding the basic salary of its job categories, in this matter, we as a OFW wanted to have fairness for the basic salary they offered to us for each job category for all countries we know you can do it by impossing the the labor law. and for the last, if it is possible that you can create more jobs in our country and increase the basic salary. then you will be more effective president that we ever had.

To the 15th president of the Republic of the philippines hope and pray n sana kyo na nga ng simula ng pagbabago at sana matupad lhat ng inyong mga pangako sa bayan.pra nman sa mga taong bayan sna makipagtulungan din tyo at wag lang lging umaasa mahirap po ang maging pangulo kya sana sa bagong administration tyoy magsamasama ng makamit ntin ang inaasam ntin na makaahon sa kahirapan ang ating bansa.mabuhay ang sambayanang pilipinas. jaymanzie@yahoo.com

Artistry is one of the most distinctive feature of our lives. Craftsmanship facilitates us to explore our mind. By refurbishing we all can communicate what is on your thought and create a happy reaction. I'm not really good at painting. But surely I have a collection of paintings in my living room. It is very useful to enlighten the room. apple cider vinegar hair regrowth

My brother enjoys the game all the time. Nice evaluations. So now I figure out how he could have fun at gaming this all day. The discussion contributes a good understanding. I don't play video games. But after seeing this review I'd like to try the game. I can tell my brother about this, too. He likes to play video games. Maybe I could try this game together with him. weight loss surgery Houston

That is good. I feel that friendship hug will guide us to lose the hassle. It is natural that when we get hugged once a day, it is guaranteed that the amount of stress that burdens us can diminish. I don't think that this campaign can be applied in all country. Some countries have their own values and norms about public display attention, especially between the men and women. I think this campaign can only be applied in free countries. Hot Tub Supplies
