Manila, Philippines — It has already been four years since President Benigno Aquino III assumed presidency — and for him, his job would be boring without the problems.<\/p>\n

During the inauguration of the Bicol University Health Sciences building in Legazpi City, Albay, Aquino said:<\/p>\n

\u201cDi ba lahat ng tao habang buhay may problema? Gabinete ko, eh tao naman, may mga araw ilalapit sa aking \u2018yong mga problema nila. So minsan pinulong ko sila at sinabi ko sa inyo, ‘Alam n\u2019yo, \u2018pag wala na tayong problema, \u2018yon naman ang magiging problema, dahil magiging<\/em> boring.'”<\/p>\n

(Doesn’t everybody have problems in\u00a0life? My cabinet members–they are people–there are days when they’ll come\u00a0to me with all their problems. So, one time I gathered then and said, ‘You know what, when we don’t have problems then that will become a problem, because life\u00a0will become boring.’)<\/p>\n

\u201cKaya habang buhay tayo, talagang ganyan ang tadhana natin. Tao tayo, mayroon tayong problema.<\/em>\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

(So, while we’re still alive, that’s our fate. We are people, we have problems.)<\/p>\n

In November 2013, Aquino faced one of the biggest problems in the country when super typhoon ‘Yolanda’ (Haiyan) ravaged some parts of Visayas.<\/p>\n
