President Aquino To Voters: Make Government’s Achievements Permanent By Choosing Daang Matuwid Coalition

Published

President Benigno S. Aquino III urged the electorate on Monday to make the positive changes accomplished by his administration permanent by voting for the Daang Matuwid coalition on May 9.

“Kung hindi niyo nadadama ‘yung mga ginawa natin, nagkulang kami. Kung kayo naman ho nakita niyo ‘yung kalsada, eskwelahan, miyembro ng Pantawid (Pamilyang Pilipino Program), pinalawak na PhilHealth at marami pang iba, pati na ‘yung pagtutugon sa mga panahon na meron tayong bagyo o may lindol o iba pang sakuna, kung hindi ninyo nakita ang ginawa ng gobyernong ito, palagay ko malaki ang pagkukulang namin. Kung kayo naman ho nakita ninyo, kayo na ho ang pangunahing testigo,” the President told local officials and members of the community who gathered at the Fontana Convention Center here.

He pointed out that his government did not raise taxes, except for the sin tax, to fund its projects, yet the economy expanded by an average of 6.2 percent, the highest average in the past 40 years.

“Ang daming ratings upgrades na nakuha natin. Sa madaling salita ho, nakita ulit ang Pilipinas ng mga negosyante at sabi nila: ‘Mukhang maayos mamuhunan dito.’ Namuhunan sila, nagbabayad ng buwis, lumalakas ang kakayanan ng gobyerno para naman mapondohan lahat ng ating kailangang pondohan, mula imprastruktura hanggang PhilHealth,” he explained.

President Aquino credited the Filipino people for the country’s transformation and thanked them for giving him the mandate to lead and helping him face numerous challenges these past six years.

“Wala akong ipinagmamalaki maliban na ang unang-una, tumotoo ako sa inyo, na nangako ako sa inyo ‘di hamak mas maganda ang iiwan ko kaysa sa dinatnan ko. Kayo na ho ang testigo kung meron talagang nangyari o hindi, at kung meron nangyari — ulitin ko ho: Kayo ang gumawa nito. Kayo ang may kayang magpatuloy nito at kami ho nakasandal lang sa inyo, kayo ang boss namin, sabihin ninyo kung saan tayo pupunta. Makikita natin sa ika-siyam ng Mayo,” he said.

Noting that the administration’s accomplishments could be negated, he said, “Pwedeng mawala lahat ng ginawa natin ngayon. Pwedeng naging bakasyon lang itong anim na taon na ito o pwedeng maging permanente. Nasa sa inyo po ‘yan. Nasa sambayanang Pilipino po iyan. Kayo ang boss. Kayo ang magsasabi kung saan tayo pupunta.” (PNA) SCS/PND/SSC
