President Aquino started his Sixth SONA by issuing an apology that the traditional processional walks was not made because he was not feeling well during this time. The President then acknowledges the presence of his fellow politicians and members of the congress and the diplomatic corps including the past presidents.
The President mention many things such as blaming the previous administration about NBN ZTE Deal, Hello Garci controversy, questionable bank accounts of Jose Pidal, Maguindanao Massacre, MWSS Bonuses and the NFA anomalies. Highlighting the achievement of his cabinet members like Commissioner Kim Henares for her tax reforms mentioning the 380 cases filed against tax evaders. The collections of the BIR also went up to P1.3 trillion and this year 2015, the BIR collection went up to P1.5 trillion. He also highlighted the ‘Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program’ or 4Ps which now have 4.4 million beneficiaries from 786,523 in 2010. In 2008, there were 2.9 million out of school youth in the country. In 2013, only 1.2 million out of school youth remained.
These are just few He mention on his SONA 2015. My reaction on the report he made to the People’s Republic of the Philippines I do believe he had accomplished his plan and fulfilled his promises as “Tuwid na Daan”. I myself set as an example of the program he established the “Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino”. I’m honored that I’m a member of the said program and benefited all the benefits that intended for my family especially to my 2 girls.
