One trait that is rare among Filipino politicians is the ability to swallow pride, but Mar Roxas did it even though swallowing with it the tens of millions of pesos spent on television, print and radio ads. Giving way to Noynoy must have been the toughest decision the senator has made and for that he will be forever remembered as one of those who defied common politics in the country and quite possibly turning the Philippines' fate around.
Now that it is almost set, can Noynoy live up to the hype? Its like 2008 all over again when Obama took the US by storm and raised the bar a notch higher in American politics. With the similar popularity, will Noynoy be able to transform it to policies benefiting the common Filipino people just as what his father dreamt of and his mother did? Only one way to find out.
