Trivia on Noynoy, The New RP President

From the time Congress proclaims a candidate as the duly-elected president, the candidate becomes known as the President-elect. In terms of protocol, a president-elect becomes Number Two in the hierarchy of officials, entitled to all official courtesies of an incumbent president, upon his proclamation as such by the Congress of the Philippines.


The Constitution is clear and specific: The title of the chief executive is “President of the Philippines,” and
takes his oath of office as such, although in certain cases involving formal diplomatic usage, “President of the Republic of the Philippines” is used for diplomatic documents. The honorific for the President of the Philippines is “His/Your Excellency,” but the proper form of address is “Mr. President.” At 42.08% Aquino’s percentage of the votes is the highest plurality since the restoration of democracy, and under the 1987 Constitution. The biggest first-term landslide was Magsaysay in 1953 (68.9%), followed by Quezon in 1935. The biggest second term landslide was Quezon in 1941 (81.78%) followed by Marcos in 1969 (61.5%).

Some relevant numbers:
1. He is the first unmarried president in the history of the country.

He is the first president with no children.

The first
deputy speaker of the House to later become president.

He is the first marksman to become president since Ferdinand Marcos (who belonged to the U.P. rifle team).

He will be the first president since 1992 inaugurated into office without having been vice-president first.

He is the first president since Diosdado Macapagal to be
elected as the candidate of the Liberal Party; also the first president since Macapagal not to have changed political parties (three presidents had no political party membership/positions: Aguinaldo, Laurel, Cory Aquino).

Aquino is the first post-Edsa president to exceed Garcia’s 1957 plurality. Majority Presidents: Quezon (68% in 1935 and 81.78% in 1941),
Roxas 54% in 1946,
Quirino (51% in 1949),
Magsaysay (68.9% in 1953),
Macapagal (55% in 1961),
Marcos (54.76% in 1965, 61.5% in 1969),
Aquino (approx. 51%).
Plurality Presidents: Garcia (41.3%) was the only president elected by plurality prior to 1972.
The lowest plurality ever was Fidel V. Ramos in 1992 (23.6%).
Estrada at 39.6% in 1998 was the first post-Edsa president to nearly match Garcia’s 1957 plurality.

He is the first to use the suffix -III (there have been no Juniors or the Thirds elected president previously).

He is the first president to have a February birthday. Two presidents were born in January: Roxas (January 1), Cory Aquino (January 25); three in March: Laurel (March 9), Ramos (March 18), Aguinaldo (March 22); two in April: Arroyo (April 5), Estrada (Aprril 19); two in August: Quezon (August 19), Magsaysay (August 31); three in September: Osmeña (September 9), Marcos (September 11), Macapagal (September 28); two in November: Garcia (November 4), Quirino (November 16).

The President of the Philippines uses license plate No. 1.

2. The second child of a former president to become president in his own right (he succeeds the first presidential child to become president).

The second president from Tarlac.

He is only the second president (Aguinaldo was the only non-drinker previously) who does not drink.

He will be the second president to be sworn in by a Filipino associate justice of the Supreme Court (his mother was the first), but the fourth president sworn in by an associate justice of a Supreme Court (Quezon in 1943 for the indefinite extension of his term, and Osmeña who succeeded into office in 1944, were sworn in by U.S. Associate Justices Felix Frankfurter and Robert H. Jackson, respectively, in Washington, D.C.).

He is the second president to have studied at the Ateneo de Manila, but the first to have graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University.

Two presidents only partially resided in Malacañang Palace: Laurel, and Estrada (who stayed in the Guest House).

Two presidents were elected by the legislature and not in a national election: Aguinaldo and Laurel.

Two presidents were re-elected to second terms: Quezon and Marcos.

Two presidents were brought to power by People Power revolts: Corazon Aquino and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (our two female presidents).

STOP RACISM!!!! Adam Carolla’s racial assault on Pacquiao and Filipinos


A struggling Italian-American radio host is in trouble for lashing out at the entire Filipino nation including Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao,
calling him illiterate and for implying that the Philippines is a nation of whores

Adam Carolla, a struggling Italian-American comedian who made a name as radio host in his own shows known as 'The Adam Carolla Podcast' , 'Loveline' and 'The Adam Corolla Show', is in big trouble for verbally attacking Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao in his program.
Not contented with his racial assault on the Filipino boxing icon by calling him idiot, illiterate, Corolla continued his tirade on the entire Filipino nation by implying that the Philippines is a nation of whores.






Examiner.com reports:
Adam Carolla starts off his vulgar tirade by bashing Manny for not giving blood before a fight. He then proceeds to say:




















"that Manny is off “praying to chicken bones” and


"that you don’t have to respect him because he’s a “fu**ing idiot”.


“Someone has to tell him that it doesn’t make a difference.”“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”


“Get a fu**in life as a country”


“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”


“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”


“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.”


“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”


It is quite clear from the statement made by Corolla that
he was attacking Pacquiao and the entire Filipino nation.

Whatever his motivation in uttering these racist and degrading statements, he alone would know.
In the meantime,
damage has been done not only in the person of Manny Pacquiao but to the entire Filipino nation.

It is just proper that Adam Carolla make a public apology for his reckless statements. A timely apology could prevent the Filipino people particularly the millions of Pacquiao fans from taking radical actions that will prevent this struggling comedian from repeating the same irresponsible action.

Little Daddy


I remember this news (A 13-YEAR-OLD boy has become a father in Britain) while i was sitting on the couch imagining my life 5 years from now. Lots of things are wrestling in my mind, it came to a point that i thought of having a family( a wife and a childrens).


these are the things that runs in my mind regarding the news:

*O my god the boy look innocent!!
*look at that little boy !!!!! he is sooo small i cant even say anything !!! just that the little boy is confused.
*The boy looks 8, and he dosn't look upset by the situation at all !he looks really young.
*Yes, its true that they done something wrong, but please lets not judge the kids because they made a mistake. Lets not forget that every baby in this world is a Gods gift for every family.

OBAMA WINS!!!!



Barack Obama elected president | 11:01 p.m.

Obama wins California, Hawaii, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, and Washington, giving him 338 electoral votes to McCain's 139 (AP). He will be the 44th president of the United States. After a tight battle against Republican Sen. John McCain, Obama has become the first African American president in the history of the United States.

Obama is set to address his supporters from Chicago's Grant Park.

Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware will be accompanying Obama to the White House as his vice president. Biden made his first unsuccessful bid for president in 1988, and again this year before dropping out. A six-term senator, Biden is the chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. One of his adult sons from his first marriage is currently serving in Iraq.

On June 4, Obama won the Democratic presidential nomination, beating Sen. Hillary Clinton in a tight primary race. The 47-year-old Democratic senator from Illinois stepped into the national spotlight in 2004, delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.

By now, Obama's personal history is well-known: He was born in Hawaii, the son of a white mother and Kenyan father. Obama's father returned to Kenya when Obama was two years old, leaving him to be raised by his mother and her family, including his beloved grandmother, "Toot," who died one day before her grandson was elected one of the most powerful leaders in the world.

After graduating from Columbia University, he went to Harvard Law School, becoming the first African American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, where he sits on several committees, including Foreign Relations, Homeland Security and Veterans' Affairs.

Obama and his wife, Michelle, have two young daughters, Malia and Sasha.
