“Indeed it feels great to be a Filipino these days,” President Benigno Aquino III said Friday night, fresh from his “very successful” state visits to Australia and New Zealand.
On top of boosting bilateral ties with the two countries, including agreements on air services and geothermal energy, the President said he was bringing home “good memories” of his engagement with the thousands of Filipinos working in Australia and New Zealand.
Aquino happily recounted his encounter with two Filipinos who packed their bags to work in New Zealand, one during the oppressive martial law regime in the 1970s, and the other during the nine-year watch of the previous Arroyo administration.
“With a lot of pride I told them that the Philippines has a very different face. Anytime they want to come home, they’ll notice it. We’re reaping the changes of a new Philippines,” he said in his arrival speech at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
The President recalled telling them the reforms he had initiated, such as the ban on the use of wangwang (sirens) by government vehicles, and a fair justice system for the rich or poor.
Cites Corona as example
He cited as an example when he met the Filipino community in Campbelltown in the outskirts of Sydney, former Chief Justice Renato Corona’s fall from power as the leader of the judiciary in May, about two years after Corona became Chief Justice of the Philippines through a midnight appointment by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
