My reaction about the third state of the nation address of our President

Benigno Aquino III’s is that I am glad about his sona his SONA again, there is already a

little bit effectiveness of his present administration than his past administration. He had

accomplished things in our country which result in great efficiency and good

productivity. The corruption was a little bit decreased on his terminology. He has also

made good changes in our country from his administration, but there is one thing that I

don’t always like when it comes to his SONA from the first until to his third SONA is the

promises, some promises that never been yet done. But still there is no such man that

is a perfect president but I still salute his words on his third SONA because we can’t

blame and criticize him because the problem of crisis and etc. of our country will never

get solve if we people only know how to judge or criticize our leader we will never

become an industrialized country because even in our self we are one to be blame also,

being united is the best way for this, we may judge but we must put it on the right way

and we must not put our problems and it blame to our president if why it is not solve

because we need to work also for our own good and not to rely all the countries

problem to our leader.

I am now convinced that Noynoy Aquino is incompetent. For me, I would not

stop there. There is no perfect leader, even Obama has his own shortcomings or

Churchill or Aguinaldo or Arroyo or Washington or Mandela. But what I guess is

important for me is whether a person or leader is open to learn and work together with

the people and not only impose his own set of principles on governance as a

government is a dynamic working of the people and its leaders.

I can see that he has chosen a good number of people to help him out, I think

that is something indubitable. But that does not mean that he is already wearing an

invisible cloak against criticism, and since he is already the president chosen by the

majority of people on a credible election, everything he says is gospel truth. I must be

vigilant as a citizen yet support his projects that I deem helpful for the nation like, paying

taxes, following the most basic of rules and laws and not succumbing to the temptation

of corruption or being accessory to it by not reporting to the government those people

that I see who abuse their power. There is no other way but support our government

because this is our government and not of our leaders, but this should not be easily

equated to fanaticism or blind.

Well, attacks against corruption are good, but against personalities, it will

already be too much. Yes, the economy is improving if the numbers from experts and

business groups are going to the bases, but what is more important and expected on

this year’s State of Nation Address of P-Noy are more concrete programs and policies

on how to improve the lives of people, like on how to lower electricity rate, protect

consumers from rising fuel prices, issues on salary increase, easing poverty, availability

of social services, passage of the Freedom of Information Bill, passage of the

Reproductive Health Bill, concrete programs on protecting the environment and disaster

management. So basically, my expectation from this year’s SONA is, how will the

President and his government improve me and my countrymen’s life in the midst of

global economic uncertainty and changing environment. How about you, what are your

expectations from P-Noy’s SONA this 2012?

I am only amazed though to know that in the pluralities of ideas and opinions,

sometimes there are those who would fall prey to the trap of total cynicism and political

pessimism. That is to see everything on the SONA whether it may be Aquino or other

president delivering it as full of lies and full of empty promises. This is the usual

reaction of I guess of people who sees everything as darkness and lives inside the cave

of ignorance and helplessness. Such pessimistic approach on things dismisses and

ignores the capacity of people to be critical, to be vigilant. Rather than focusing and

trying to believe that our people is a just a bunch of emotionally-driven electorate and a

throng of idiots who loves to believes on fairytales, I rather trust that the Filipino people

are now more educated, intelligent and positive seeing more the light than curse in

darkness. When on start to look down with contempt on his people, he has already

started to be the very reason for his countrymen’s slavery.

Many people have earned praise in the past (SONA) of President but despite

the praise still cannot beat the former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said the

anomaly occurred in its administration and PAG COR beneficiaries. The president said

about the swells of our police and say how beautiful this program our president but also

focus his attention to the corrupt government because even the Philippines What size

fund for this project if the plague of government corruption and theft continues anomaly

no miracles happen in the Philippines. miracle that he developed the Philippines.

miracle to eliminate poverty in the Philippines.

We're still not satisfied with the new equipment of the military although good

for the Philippines to so much more we protect our own country being dependent on

others and we are still not satisfied because now only one promise that it can

evaporate. The president also mentioned effective against our police criminality in the

Philippines but he had forgotten the previous presidential crimes that our police itself

makes the increase of goods, unemployment, and wages below the employees in the

country, one of the reasons I see the height of criminality in the Philippines would give

the president the aid of these things.

    Foreign leaders of allied nations around the world cannot trust our president when they need his help. American’s think of our president as being untrustworthy when it comes to the current crisis in the middle-east. The President has wasted a ton of time, energy and money on things like nationalizing our health care system which doesn't really rise to the level of being a true national emergency. Meantime, he has spent almost no time dealing with real national emergencies, such as the emergence of a nuclear Iran. They feel as though he is not acting in the best interest of our country. Look at our president, when faced with multiple countries in the middle-east burning our flag, he does not take action in the best interest of the citizens of the United States. As the president of the United States of America it is his duty to act in best interest of this country’s citizens and there is no evidence where he has asked us what we would want him to do about this crisis. But he took action in the best interest of those countries citizens and that is untrustworthy from an American citizen’s point of view. The U.S. president shows us just how unreliable he is at protecting our good country’s name around the world when he does nothing after four Americans are murdered, an American embassy is set on fire, and an American school is burned to the ground in a foreign…

    To end the “wang-wang” culture in the government, there are some of the ways or solutions that our government had achieved. The ratings of hunger has dropped from 20.5% in March to 15.1% this June, as said by the Filipino families who used to be hungry but now can eat properly every day. The upgrade of credit ratings. proper taxation. Solutions for anomalies in Region 4B. From 1.3 million metric tons of rice storage, it has gone down to 660 000 metric tons as Aquino said “Ang gusto nating mangyari: Una, hindi tayo aangkat ng hindi kailangan, para lang punan ang bulsa ng mga gusting magsariling-diskarte ng kita sa agrikultura; Ikalawa: Ayaw nating umasa sa pag-angkat, ang isasaing ni Juan dela Cruz ditto ipupunla, ditto aanihin, ditto bibilhin”. He also implemented the pabahay for the policemen and soldiers by awarding 4000 Certificate of Entitlement to Lot Allocation.
