PNoy to Pinoys in Chicago: Support admin’s candidate in 2016
President Benigno Aquino III has urged Filipinos in Chicago to support the administration's candidate in the 2016 elections to ensure the continuation of the country's “transformation.”
“Tiwala po ako: Tulad noong 1986, at noong 2010, pagdating ng 2016, ay nariyan pa rin kayo upang siguruhing maipagpapatuloy ang mga nasimulan natin,” he said in his speech.
“Ang ating hangad: Huwag nang bumalik pa sa bulok na sistema; bagkus, magtuloy-tuloy ang mabuting transpormasyon ng bansa,” Aquino added.
Although he has been tightlipped on his chosen successor, Aquino has dropped hints in past interviews on how he will choose whom he will support in the 2016 presidential race.
He has repeatedly said he will anoint someone who will continue his reform programs, and someone who “treads the straight path.” Aquino also earlier said he wants to relinquish his post to a friend.
Leaders of the ruling Liberal Party have been consistent in naming Interior Secretary Mar Roxas as their standard-bearer for the 2016 polls.
Gains
In his speech in Chicago, Aquino trumpeted the gains achieved by his administration, particularly in improving the economy and in the fight against corruption.
“Wala pong ibang paraan para matupad ito kundi sa pagtutulungan ng lahat ng Pilipino, saanmang bahagi ng mundo,” Aquino said.
Aquino said there has been a notable increase in foreign direct investments since he assumed office in 2010.
"Pagdating po sa foreign direct investments: Nang maupo tayo sa puwesto noong 2010, nasa 1.07 billion dollars lamang po ito; nitong 2014, pumalo na po ito sa 6.2 billion dollars. 479.28 percent increase po yan," he said.
“Good governance equals good economics, equals good quality inclusive growth. Kaya po sa usaping pang-ekonomiya, kalimutan na natin ang bansag na Sick Man of Asia; ang turing sa atin ng ibang bansa ngayon, Darling of Asia," he added.
Aquino arrived at the O'Hare International airport early Thursday (PHL time) for a meeting with the US Chamber of Commerce and the US ASEAN Business Council. He is set to fly to Canada next for a three-day state visit. —KBK, GMA News
