  Congratulations to the team of Ms. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Kabayan Noli de Castro for winning the Presidential and Vice Presidential race! It's a very good team and deserving, too. Despite the rigmarole during the vote counting and canvassing, they were finally proclaimed winners.
It's a race well won I suppose, after all the things that happened, the postponements and bad publicity. Well, let's just hope they will do well and perform their duties accordingly for the improvement of the country and not of their bank accounts. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I believe other Filipinos do. I hope the people who do not Ms. Arroyo will accept the situation that she won and help make the Philippines a better place to live in.
They should stop protesting instead because that's just a waste of money, energy, and time. Instead, work well and enjoy life. Do not worry because the government officials are under constant watch of the press and other groups. The noise barrages should be fine but please don't keep it going until your own earns burst out. Give them a chance to do their jobs and let's just do ours. After a year or two, we can start complaining if we see no progress or they haven't done anything to alleviate the condition of our country. May God bless the Philippines and all the newly elected officials of the country! Let us pray... Hail Mary, Full of Grace! The Lord is with you...
