Hailed as the ‘most qualified’ among the presidentiables this coming May
2016 elections, Augusto ‘Boboy’ Syjuco Jr. has sterling academic records and
outstanding leadership to speak of. The man is no stranger to public service. Syjuco
was a former Iloilo representative and became a TESDA chief during former
President Gloria Magapagal-Arroyo’s term. We were recently privileged to meet
Tito Boboy Syjuco up close and personal.

a congressman of the second district of Iloilo. His family is from Sta.
Barbara, Iloilo.

| Tito Boboy Syjuco gladly answered during the Q and A. |
During our close encounter with Tito Boboy, we had the chance to watch
five webisodes of the film entitled “Binuhay Ako Nang Dahil Sa’Yo,” a poignant
narrative of the life and love of Tito Boboy himself. We were also able to get
to know the man behind his many achievements as he mentioned all his platforms
should he win in the coming presidential elections.
It’s also interesting to note that Tito Boboy was made for public
service. He has his heart for his countrymen. It had always been Tito Boboy’s noble dream to
have a better Philippines. And the guy knows whereof he speaks for he has
worked with the government and he’s always fought for what he believes is right
and just. In fact, Tito Boboy also discussed about the current issue on Social
Security System and why the president did not approved of the P2,000 across the
board increase for SSS pensioners. He clearly explained that the SSS is in
imminent danger of being cut-off from the retirement lifeline because it’s
almost close to bankruptcy.

Tito Boboy also said that the reason why he’s running for presidency is
because he’s had enough of negligence and corruption on the part of the
incumbent president, particularly that issue affecting the flow of commerce.
In the said informal blogconference with bloggers and entertainment
writers, Tito Boboy stated that he wants to resolve the issue pertaining the
poor internet service in the country. As a blogger and online media influencer,
we feel that it really must be given the attention as most livelihood depends
on a strong broadband service and because the net is the main source of
communication. Having said that, Tito Boboy promised that when he gets elected,
he will prioritize having fibre cable internet service throughout the country.
Syjuco firmly believes that to have the infrastructure in place is the only way
to bring broadband services costs affordable. That same evening, the Augment
Broadband Speed (ABS) Movement was launched. It’s an organization established
by Tito Boboy Syjuco himself to pressure the government to take immediate
actions in solving the poor internet connection in the Philippines.
Tito Boboy’s also proud to mention that he’s the brains behind the
ladderized system of education in the country today. It’s his own solutions to
those who cannot afford to go through college and earn their Bachelor’s degree.
Specifically, it intends to create a
seamless and borderless education and training system. The Ladderized Education Program (LEP)
is a training system that will allow one mobility in terms of flexible
entry and exit into the educational
system. The ladderization allows students and
workers progression between Technical and Vocational Education and Training
(TVET) and Higher Education (HE) or college and vice-versa. Specifically, it
intends to create a seamless and borderless education and training system.
With Tito Boboy at the helm, his signature disciplinarian yet caring attitude, he's what our economy needs in order to have its boost.
