Today, my good friend since he was Congressman and my LP Presidential Standard Bearer, President Elect Noynoy Aquino was proclaimed as 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines. Also, today, he isn't just my chosen president but starts to be President of everyone in our country. At the same time, my wedding God father and our family friend, Vice President elect Jojo Binay takes the second highest post in the country. Although he is from a different political party, he has kept good ties with my family. I feel sad for my God brother and friend, Sen. Mar Roxas but maybe God has better plans for him.
It's time for politics to take a back seat and for excellent public service and unity to take the front seat. It's also time to heal the wounds that the campaign season might have brought about. It's time to rally behind our yellow leader and to give him the chance to do well for our country.
Our role does not end with choosing our new leaders. It continues as we should remain vigilant and at the same time be part of a government of, by and for the people. We should do our role and still take part in making sure there is a transparent, honest, hard working and compassionate government.
Regardless of our colors during the campaign season, it's time to join the yellow team and build the rainbow coalition for the good of our country.
