SUMMARY

In our opinion, The Philippines has undergone a radical transformation under his administration. From
having a government that institutionalized corrupt practices, to one that provides public service founded
on the principles of transparency and integrity. From being called as the Sick Man of Asia, now we are
one of the stronger economies in our continent and being called as Asias Rising Tiger. The Philippine
Economy became better by the time he sworn in as our President. He gained the trust of Foreign
Businessmen to invest here to the Philippines resulting to Billions Dollars worth of investment. Most
Importantly, The highest record of 94.2% employment rate was happened during his administration.
Theres no question that Aquino have done a lot of Improvement economically wise. But just like the
former presidents he preceded, he had his own share of controversies such as the Manila Hostage Crisis,
PDAF scam, SAF 44 and many more that. The result is many Filipino are having doubts about his
capability as a leader of our nation. But overall, we think that his administration did well. He left the
Malacanang office with a bang and lets see if the next president will maintain Noynoys reform
momentum.
