“At first, I had doubts sa pamalakad ni Noynoy. But now, I was surprised and impressed because I can really see that his term is pure service. I can see na ang sobrang galing niya. But I fear for the consequences of his actions because you can really see na kinakalaban niya harap-harapan ang mga malalaking names. I’m hoping that he is extra careful in executing his moves because he is after all the president.”

– Zarah Katrina Pulmano (V BS ECE)

“Wala pa talagang nangyayari. Puro publicity and planning. Sumisingit lang siya sa mga issue na pwedeng singitan.”

– Maria Michelle Nebres (IV AB PoS)

“Basing on PNoy’s words and some of the rules he’s trying to implement, I can say that the country is now moving. His first few months will be the benchmark of his regime and people will remember that most likely.”

– Cecille Marie Alvero (III BS Psy)

“Traffic enforcers are more vigilant in upholding the traffic rules because he himself follows the rules.”

-Lourd Christian Castro (II AB Mec)

“I can sense the high hopes from the people especially after Noynoy’s SONA. I’m just worried that he doesn’t know what exactly to do with the country, how to handle the situations and create the change. He hasn’t done much yet. Also, he has chosen the people in his office based on who he knows and not everyone would agree with his choices. He should be able to maintain the trust of the people and exert more effort in communicating his plans.”.

-Joy Teng-Calleja (Psychology Instructor)

“All I can say is that he has restored the faith and trust of the people in the Philippine government. There was this survey that shows that around three-fourths of the people trust him. He hasn’t exactly done a lot already, but he definitely has set a good example to all of us.”

-Finella Erika Zarate (II BS ME)

“He’s been very transparent in terms of the problems that the Philippines [is] currently facing. He doesn’t give a lot of assurances and promises. This leads us to [fewer] expectations, which is very different from the past few presidents that we’ve had.”

-Aisha Bea Romero (III AB IS)

“I haven’t noticed anything new yet…I don’t see any major change yet [in our country]. I think we need to wait more to make a valid conclusion.”

-Ramon Afable (III BFA ID)

“He’s been able to at least give emphasis on following the most basic laws that people should follow like traffic rules. As a leader, he sets example for his constituents to follow as one who is unbiased and incorrupt. I hope he’s able to back this up.”

-Alberto Dizon (III BS CS)
