of promises and high hopes.

Aquino's 100th day is drawing near and the realities are setting in: that he's no Superman and that he is not exempted from critics heavily armed with words that point to the negatives.

However, let's not forget that the President has high hopes for this country -- and so should we. It's an old joke, but what this country really needs right now is a "Pangulo" (President) not a "panggulo" (troublemaker). Whether he delivers on his promises or not is a different topic altogether, but it's up to us to make sure that he does. Check out this site by ABS-CBN: the Aquino Promises Tracker.
