The first 100 days of newly elected officials are very challenging since this is the time that they have to impress their constituents. For some who are new in the Philippine political arena, the first 100 days are not spent wisely and in effect, they frustrate their voters. In Region VIII, a training seminar dubbed as "My First 100 days" was conducted for all newly elected municipal mayors. I am sure that the said seminar was worthwhile.

This first 100 days will be the telling factor for the Aquino's administration. If everything happens positively, the image of the Aquino's administration will make the Filipino people proud. The confidence factor from all Filipinos would be high to the point that Filipinos will entrust the government their support to the administration.

I am hoping that the Aquino administration will do better things during the first 100 days. The first 100 days is very important to make every Filipino , especially those who voted for Aquino, proud of him.
Good luck to the Aquino administration.

Yes they should really show they deserve their post. But I just hope they won't do good only in their first 100 days. They should work hard at all times. There are some if not most politicians that are only impressive at the start but have become useless as time passes by.

I also wish the same.
I hope they will do something better for the rest of their respective terms.
Good luck to all newly elected public officials.

hi there! i think everyone is looking forward to what will the new administration is going to do in their first 100 days. this is the talk of the town as of now. but we will still see if what they would really do in the next 100 days. i agree that they should really impress filipino people. they should prove that they are worthy of their positions. so that their supporters will not be disappointed. although they are not really my choice im hoping for some results also. happy mylotting!

This has got to be a good thing. No one know what the job of an elected official
is until they are elected. There are so many small issues, little things that have to be done that are never shown to the public or the press. You need to know who should do what and where to go to ask questions. In the case of many officials
there get way to much advice and not always the correct information.

Well, I think that the first 100 days should be spent not to 'impress their constituents' but rather to serve all Filipinos. As such, I would propose a 30 day moratorium on examination, to include reporting, on all corruption issues to increase the clarity of the new vision beyond Wednesday's inauguration.
