Noynoy comes up with a solution to his first challenge as President!

-
Faced with a mountain of campaign promises he will likely be unable to keep, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III now latches foolishly onto one that he has full personal control over -- his decision not to use motorcades to expedite his morning commutes from his daddy's house to his office in Malacanang. His family newsetter reports...

"There's a solution so he won't be late. He will leave earlier. He will wake up earlier," Lacierda said in Filipino at the weekly Palace forum aired over state-run Radyo ng Bayan.
