The President's first pay check salary.

He has been paid LESS than that during his seat in the congress and senate. How can any of them (congressmen and senators) manage that without corrupting? Considering their lyfestyles, impossible.

He was already born in a silver spoon so he doesn't need to be corrupt just to suit his lifestyle. That would be his major challenge on how to make Philippines a corruption free country which is really impossible but then at least there is a real effort to stop it.

LOL. I will now have to salute again for your kindness and unbiased response. LOL

People are too emotional..that's what it is.gordon tried to reason that we shouldn't include emotions in voting for election. but that's exactly what happened. thanks but no thanks to media by the way

Ahaha! Love how you deliver your lines, dude.

I am not the bashing type really but I haven't warmed up to him yet. LOL. Stay cool. :D

Thanks I thought you were gonna (-) me on this I'm sure others will.

I missed that one (documentary) but I love how you are pointing this out. You smelled something fishy, too. LOL. Like me. But I was still surprised though of his actions. That he showed his check. A strategy or something to get people on his side. I wonder what he will do next. I only got to know the President's salary during one of the reports in ABS. When they showed the salaries from a Brgy Captain to mayors to senator and then the president. But I get what Letran said. Letran or RS, i forgot, about ABS being bias to Noy. But let's see. I know it's not just you or me who's on the watch. Thanks, damned. :D

well at least he got those cars without being corrupt ,right? its his right too not to use it during the election.you can't drive around manila campaigning using your luxurious car. if he does that people would say he is flaunting his assets and if he opted not to use it people would find ways to bring him down. the best way for us to do is to move on. Accept the fact that our bet for presidency wasn't favor by the masses. All we can do is to support him to make this country a prosperous one.

Yeah I agree with Letran too (I wonder why he isn't commenting yet?) about ABS. @mevidalady How can you be so sure that he didn't corrupt? Although I'm not sure too, I think he isn't corrupting too because he doesn't know how. Come to think of it, maybe that is why he is so angry about corrupted officials! First time I see this: "Comment contains more than the maximum allowed MyLotCode Emotes. Max is 3"

I just don't feel something right (about the he's up to something, like he's trying to make himself good with the previous condemned presidents). I know it's his way of educating the masses but like what I have said to the previous post, I haven't warmed up to the idea yet. I love the response of Salonga because he's telling it all what I have been wanting to say. Like he has a lot of things to do. I am not just good with words. Bear with me. But I remain hopeful. I am not closing my faith in Aquino.

Now I get it. I am sorry, its not my intention to point out your choice of words. I just didn't understand it at first my apologies. Aquino has really a lot to do. It is but natural to make yourself good as compared to your predecessors. But I guess he's way of making it look good is to divulge everything even if it includes his personal salary. In this context, it would be a good start but I wonder if he can sustain it.

Very well said. I still think he's being safe with his being "transparent" that's why I could never feel his being "sincere". On the contrary though, I am still thankful that he won because Erap could have taken the seat again. And Philippines will soon be in its ruins. LOL. I know he's not perfect but I will remain hopeful that somehow, his step by step plans on making a progress on Philippines will be a success. It's also good that most of us here aren't on his side. At least he will always be humbled that though his rating soared - he is still on the watch. Some of the Filipinos might be dumb as it appears to most of us but we are all struggling not to be fooled by the new president's promises. Just like we did on the precious ones. =) As for your opinion with Kris, I couldn't agree more. She doesn't like the idea that Noy has overtaken her popularity. Ahaha. That's why Pilipinas Win na Win is born. Talk about power tripping.

Yes. I have hopes for him now that he will start cleaning the mess of the previous Presidents. Let's hope for the best of what he could do to save our country.

I know, right? He only got 63K. That's the amount he got after his original amount of salary got deducted tax and etc.

government employees indeed are underpaid. As a matter of fact, their lowest salary when GMA hasn't issued yet the Salary Standardization Law last year was 3000, that's for utility position or salary grade I. that's why it's a good thing that they thought of raising the salary of government employees, though it would still take 4 years to finally take the whole increased salary (they did it in a staggered basis) and that the higher ranks would just be the one to get the most benefit of it because the increase was based on the percentage of your present salary. But then again, it still a small blessing to thank for. Just like what the poor people say..."better than nothing!". So let's just hope that the new president would really try his best to make the Filipino lives better...

I hope so too that he really is "sincere". =)
