"Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other
about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success." Taylor Lautner

WHO says millionaires don't cheat?
Everyone will be tempted when opportunity presents itself.
But not all will be tainted.

Being rich and unmarried, President P-Noy has no reason to steal.
His parents were never known to have dipped their fingers on the cookie jar; they were probably tempted, yes, but not tainted.

Man's special dignity lies in goods which no other animal shares with him, as other animals share with him the goods of food, shelter, and even those of sleep and play.
OFFICE
After more than 100 days in office, President P-Noy should continue to stand firm on the ideals of the late former Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Jr. and the late former President Corazon "Tita Cory," that sterling legacy that has helped catapult the Aquino clan into political fame -- and gave Kris Aquino guts to collect boys (when can this presidential sister nail a real man?) like Hello Kitty toys.
While the President may be immaculate, nobody walks a saint in Malacanang; no public official under the present system can match Caesar's wife, who was beyond suspicion: they will all be subjected to severe suspicion and scrutiny.
Lest we forget, we always stumble on a serpent in every paradise, and a snake in every forest.
Public office, where cash is aplenty, is no exception!

SUCCUMB
Only when the President succumbs to influence of friends and relatives can he be destroyed like Erap and Gloria.
Being born with a silver spoon, the President is deemed to have passed the temptation of covetousness.

If he is a rational person, President P-Noy will no longer hanker for material grandeur.
If he has a sanity, he will try not to suffer from the sanity of others--those waiting for the right opportunity to enrich themselves under his administration.

Because of the trust given him by his late parents, the President can't afford to go against them.

CHARACTER
But we can't tell the character of the man. As Voltaire had said, we can change institution but not the nature of man whose character can only be transformed by rationality and values -- philosophical and spiritual.
As citizens, we are duty-bound to help our leader fight not only graft and corruption and poverty, but also eliminate the tentacles of mysticism, dogmatism, superstition, and, most of all, ignorance!
