PNOY's PORSCHE CAR

When I was in my 1st-3rd year, i rented my own room near school.

However, when I transferred in another law school, I decided to commute and leave my comfort zone. I need to wake up early, fix my things, consider time and do the routine of going to manila everyday for my class.

Sacrifice indeed. Considering the hassle of waiting for a public transpo(jeepney or fx) in our place, I decided to take our car. On the first 2 months, I brought it to manila, but I noticed that "lugi" pala ako. LOL. I spent P500 a day for my gas.. (from taytay-manila) + Parking.

My total fare would cost P130 only.. far from P500! The route would be Fx/Jeep going to santolan station, then LRT going to Legarda. Less time travel + savings.

Since I still couldn't bear the hassle of waiting for a jeepney/fx to arrive, what I did was to park my car in SM marikina then ride a train, Travel time=30 mins going to santolan and 30 mins going to Legarda. whew. What a relief :)

The other night, my friend texted me. He asked me about the increase in the LRT fare. I haven't notice any increase though. What I've seen was vandals statements in mendiola which states that "No to LRT Fare Increase"

Then I replied..."Hindi ko alam, wala pa naman increase pero ang mahal na ng gas. P49.10"

Yeah, it's 49.10 here in taytay! (grr.)

Then he said... "mahal na ng gas, fare, lahat lahat na"

"hai, wag nalang tayo kumain, maglakad nalang, pabili bili nalang ng kotse si pnoy noh" "porsche GT3, 9M kapag brand new".

Funny. I haven't watch any news. I arrived home at 10pm.

Then eat, rest, hit the tread mill, sleep, wake up early, study.

So, what's with PNOY's new car?

REPOST:

MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III prefers the Porsche, a car that scientists and psychologists connect to risks that come with pushing the limits.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported today that the bachelor president bought himself a second-hand, white Porsche last Christmas.

Citing a source close to car enthusiast Manny Dimaculangan, the newspaper said the president ditched his old BMW in exchange for the more attention-grabbing Porsche.

He supposedly paid P4.5 million for it.

In December 26, Aquino supposedly went to the Clark International Speedway where car buffs test their big toys.

According to the Road and Travel Magazine, sports cars are usually preferred by people who feel or flaunt their “youthful exuberance and rejuvenation.”

Researchers around the world are exploring the belief that cars can project a personality. Some believe that cars even look like human faces.

Researchers do these in order to help designers and the automobile industry determine what is appealing to customers.

The color of a car also says something about the driver.

Citing a DuPont Global Automotive Color Popularity Report, TopGear.com.ph said white is preferred by owners who are careful and pure.

The author, however, said: “ On the contrary, I’d say owners of white vehicles are purely careless, because when they bought their car, they didn’t take into account that white is the hardest car color to maintain especially in a dusty and muddy country like ours.”

Comments from our kababayans:

1. Is it true that males who buy flashy sports cars are experiencing mid-life crisis? by energist

2. Is this news helping? I don't think so.

How many people are still suffering from poverty? Practically more than 60% of the country's population. Is the government rid of corruption as he promised he'll do when elected? No, FAR FROM IT!

So it's too early to give yourself a very expensive gift Mr. President. YOU have work to do! Sit down and DO IT! The people did not elect you to find yourself a girlfriend, sleep in the afternoons and reward yourself a P 4 million Porsche even though it's second hand!

MY SAY:

I was born in 1986, the year when our beloved Cory Aquino led our repressed nation back to democracy. After 24 years, what happened to our dear Philippines? well, It was lead by corrupt public officials!

Another president elect, Benigno Aquino, III...

Hoping that another Aquino would bring solution to our problem and be a saving grace to our nation... let's just pray and hope for the best. I am the product of the future generation way back 1980's, I am not in doubt. But I am hopeful that we still have room for a new nation.

For as long as Pnoy used his own funds, and STILL do his responsibilities as our President, I have nothing against him buying a new car. I think it is far from having a lunch worth million of Pesos (and using our own funds). LOL.
