President Aquino SONA 2013

                     

                             Last July 22, 2012 Monday, President Benigno Aquino delivered his fourth State of the Nation Address at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City. So far it was the longest SONA of the President. Out of 55 pages it tooks 2 hours I think. The SONA this year were focused on the achievements of the government and some projects for our country.

                           Early of his speech it was the "Tamang daan na tinatahak." This is in the connection of the past election where 9 out of 12 of the candidates reffered to as "mga kasangga", a testament that his bosses (Filipino) agree with his "tuwid na daan". Second was his accomplishments for the past three years of his administration. TESDA-DOLE scholarship, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, Education Reforms (K to 12 program), Agricultural Reforms, Health Programs, Readiness in Calamities, Housing Programs, Enhancement of the Armed Forces and Police, Secure and Fair Election, Peace and Order situation in Mindanao, Enhanced Tourism Industry, Economic Growth and several other issues were also tackled. In every part of SONA, President always make promises. Here are some of his action for the next months of year. Classroom shortage will be addressed by the Department of Education within the year, improve rice self-sufficiency and coconut intercropping to boost agricultural growth, complete geo-hazzard mapping of Metro Manila next year, repairs and completion at NAIA Terminal 3. There were just few points that I think are important in his speech.
                           Hopefully, our country will more be active and in peace. And less problems to be faced. Filipinos will not suffer from poverty. Economic growth will increase.
                           PNOY is a great leader. He makes his country speaks. He encourages people to get up form a crisis they suffer. Furthermore, I salute him. Siya ang boss ko!
