Reaction Paper: SONA 2015
Number of Words: 297
Monday, July 27, 2015 our president Benigno Aquino III stated his SONA or State of the Nation Address for the sixth time which is considered as the longest SONA he delivered since he start his presidency. I just want to say that I like it when he delivered his speech in Filipino. Because it is our own language and not everyone understand English therefore using this language will make it understandable for all the people in our nation. But some of the President’s statement in his speech seems to be not real, a fantasy because I cannot feel it. I can’t feel that we are now developing, that our country now is rising. It doesn’t reflect the way the people here in our country live. Also, I don’t like the way he compares his year of presidency to the past president instead he should just focus on how to really improve the life of each people that he governs to. The positive side of his speech for me is that the government is really now moving to remove the corruption in their system that they are not afraid of facing their co-worker, exposing the dirty jobs of some authorities. With the actions they do about the different problems our country is facing. For doing his best in changing our nation. Sadly to say accidents are really uncontrollable, you never knew when something bad will happen even though you have done everything you could to prevent it. Just like what happen in Mamasapano where lots of people died. It’s just so good to hear that those people who died had given an honorarium. All in all to summarize my reaction I could say that President Aquino’s SONA is thumbs up for me despite of some flaws in it.

This is the highlight of the fifth State of the Nation Address by His Excellency Benigno Simeon Aquino III.

The simple yet notably patriotic statement of the president earned the applause of the participants at the conference, in which hopefully the Filipinos appreciated it - regardless of their political stand about his administration.

On May 2010, Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Cojuangco Aquino III was sworn as the country’s 15th President before millions of Filipinos at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, vowing to deliver the nation from poverty and wiping corruption that grip the administration of his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. During the historic event, Aquino disclosed that on top of his priorities is to tend the culture of bad governance and for him to set a good example in getting rid of corrupt practices in public administration (Mabasa, 2010). A good speech, however, does not yet make a good presidency, and Aquino’s first appointments and policy decisions were awaited eagerly. Soon after the inauguration the administration announced an executive order fleshing out the constitutional guarantee on the people’s right to information.…
