Yesterday was one of the greatest chapter in Philippine history. This is the day that Benigno Simeon Aquino III takes his oath as the 15th president of the republic of the Philippines. This is the day that everyone has been waiting for, A new president to take over the administration.

When he decided to run for president, many candidates decided to give way for him. They knew that he was the most appropriate person to be the president of the Philippines. Everyone is rejoicing when he decided to run, knowing that he is suitable for he is the son of Benigno ''Ninoy'' Aquino Jr. and former president Corazon ''Cory'' Aquino. Everyone had high expectations on him; they know that he will continue the fight of his parents. Even though the public sees him as a suitable person, He still has his own faults and issues. The critics says that he just uses the popularity of her sister, Kris Aquino, as well as the ''Cory magic'' that came from his 2 iconic parents in his campaign. He also received some questions regarding Hacienda Luisita. He was also criticized about not passing any laws in the senate. The most recent criticism he had was about smoking.

Now the wait is over, A new president is taking over, many people are expecting change and reforms to our country. I hope that he remove all the causes of corruption in our country just like what he said in his campaign: ''Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap'' as well as what he said in his speech:''I will forgive those who have sinned against me but I will not forgive those who sinned against the society''.

Let us pray that God will use him mightily in the government. May he always consult the Lord for help and advice to govern our country. Let us pray that God will give everyone a clean heart, no desire of corruption.
