Featured Site: Office of the President's New Website


President Benigno S. Aquino III extends anew his invitation to every Filipino, as well as our foreign friends and partners, to actively participate in nation-building and good governance through the new official website of the Office of the President, www.president.gov.ph.

The website features a "News Desk" where you can read the most recent news on the President's affairs and engagements. Other pages include the "Panata sa Pagbabago", where you can make a pact, along with other Filipinos, to help reshape our country. You can now put faces on the names of the Cabinet Members you always hear or read about; find them in the "My Cabinet" page. And if you prefer more visual elements, the "Photos" and "Videos" pages might give you just that as both allow you to view and watch the President's most recent photos and videos while he judiciously performs his job.

In addition, the "Tito Noy" page was also introduced to target the younger Filipinos to become active nation-builders. President Noy sees that greatness can be achieved with our unique and rich Filipino culture; he wants it to be preserved and passed on to the young ones. Here, everyone is again encouraged to share their thoughts, but this time through graphic designs, on the positive Filipino traditions we all can be very proud of.

Please do share your thoughts. President Noy "wants to hear from you." Inaasahan niyang ibabahagi mo "ang iyong mga saloobin kung paano mas magiging bukas at tapat ang ating gobyerno."

Can you please help "ME" become popular?


I have a challenge for you. You see, I have a very important role in the government but only a few people know about me. I have the passion to be great but without your help, I cannot do anything. My name is Medium Term Philippine Development Plan. You can call me MTPDP for short. I am the development plan of the government which means that I express the targets, directions and expectations that my bosses have for our country. Sadly, I only live till I’m six years old then I will have to join my siblings “Philippines 2000”, “Angat Pinoy,” and “Beat the Odds” up in heaven.

For the mean time, I am not yet complete. My creators are still working tediously to make me as perfect as I can be. So what am I asking from you?

It would be really nice if by the time I’m completed, I already have a name for myself. I know that you are good in branding and your creative minds can surely help me be known in every corner of our country. Please help me think of a catchier name that has a stronger recall (MTPDP is not really the best name you know). Together with that, can you also think of a logo that can best represent me?

You can know me more through my relatives namely, President Aquino’s pronouncements, SONA, and social contract. You can talk to them so that you can have a better grasp of who I am.

I will be waiting for your slogan and logo suggestions. Please help me. I really need you.

Yours,
MTPDP
