Reaction Paper: State of the Nation Address 2013 “Sa Gitna ng Daang Matuwid” The fourth annual State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Simeon “PNoy” Aquino III was delivered last Monday, July 22, 2013 in Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City with its very famous theme “Sa Gitna ng Daang Matuwid.” It started at exactly 4:03pm and ended 5:46pm. It takes almost one and a half hour to bring to the public the longest SONA he had ever made gathering a total of 88 applauses from government officials and important personalities in the country. PNoy’s speech was very comprehensive since it almost tackled all important issues in our country and he made it more specific by using numbers and certain rates to prove the progressing economy. He also confidently mentioned his administration’s great achievements and accomplishments on different aspects of our society particularly the political and economic aspects. Included in his successful administration were the program Pantawid ng Pamilyang Pilipino Program commonly known as the 4Ps, producing more TESDA scholars, housing programs for informal settlers (main cause of flooding). The President also mentioned the domination of his senatorial candidates in May 2013 elections proving that he has regained the trust of the Filipino people in the presidency. He also made thankful remarks for the police officers with their great acts and also other department secretaries and extended his praises to the exemplary public servants. He ended his speech by saying he was proud to be a Filipino and it is wonderful to be a Filipino in these times. In my own view towards the delivery of his speech, I was a little bit dismay since we have heard in his own mouth strongly –worded criticisms that hit other government officials and agencies like the Bureau of Customs, Bureau of Immigration and National Irrigation
