    Benigno Aquino III became the 15th president of the Philippines in 2010. During his presidency, he focused on educational reform to produce good citizens equipped for the 21st century. He expanded basic education to 12 years by adding two years of high school. While some parents were concerned this would prolong students' studies, supporters believe it will help the Philippines' economy by making the country more competitive internationally and increasing opportunities for Filipinos. Aquino's legacy will be measured by the success of his educational reforms.

    Legacy of President Benigno Aquino III

    Our current president, Benigno Simeon "Noynoy"


    Cojuangco Aquino III is on born February 8, 1960. He is
    Filipino politician who has been the 15th President of
    the Philippines since June 2010. Since the start of his
    presidency, he has also been referred to in the media
    as PNoy. His presidency began at noon on June 30, 2010,
    when he became the fifteenth President of the
    Philippines, succeeding Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
    He is the third-youngest person to be elected
    president, and the fourth-youngest president
    after Emilio Aguinaldo, Ramon Magsaysay and Ferdinand
    Marcos. First president to be a bachelor and have
    no official consort, being unmarried and having no
    children. He is the third president who will only hold
    office in Malacañang Palace, but not be a resident,
    following his mother.
    President Benigno S. Aquino III’s Matuwid na Daan
    platform is not exactly about fighting corruption where
    a modicum of success is a quixotic dream considering
    the genetic greed of politicians and the legendary
    vileness of bureaucrats. Matuwid na Daan is more
    appropriately reforming the Philippine educational
    system to produce good citizens who are broadly
    knowledgeable, equipped with skills for them to cope
    during the 21st century, and yes, morally upright and
    fearless in the face of adversity with no more powerful
    a weapon than their integrity.
    The man behind education reform is La Salle
    Brother Armin Luistro. He is one of the country’s
    finest visionaries in the field of education and one of
    the best in educational management. He probably will be
    the best Education secretary ever.
    The Aquino Presidency will make sure that graduates of
    senior high school—the equivalent in the past of a
    second year college education— will have such
    qualities. And that every Filipino will have access to
    that kind of education.
    In addition to Kinder, basic education will now be
    12 years instead of 10–six years of elementary and six
    years of high school. Plus Kinder, the total is
    actually 13. Compare that in the past when a pupil had
    only six years of elementary and four years of high
    school, a total of 10. Twelve is the standard basic
    education in most countries. A better education for the
    Filipino teener—this ultimately will be the President’s
    legacy and the key measure of the success of his six-
    year presidency.
    This legacy may be a positive change to others but
    a negative to some. Most of the time those parents who
    are not aware on this changes keep on murmuring that
    this will be a negative implication on the student
    being their studies a long time process but I do
    believe that this will be a great help to many
    Filipinos because this will make our country more
    accessible and more open to the opportunities’ abroad
    and this can make our economy more stable than before.
    So, being one of the Filipino citizens, we should
    be one of the solutions to the problem instead of
    always being one of the problems.
