State of the Nation Address of His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino Iii, President of the Philippines to the Congress of the Philippines
Our President Benigno S. Aquino III mentioned about the social accountabilities which is referring to the following:
• Wang wang represent the abuse of authority because Instead of behaving as public servant, wang-wang was used by public officials to violate traffic laws and at the same time they acted like kings. Also exists in private sector and agriculture, and to end the wang-wang culture in government, zero-based budgeting was employed to review programs. For this year and the last, zero-based budgeting has allowed ending many wasteful programs.
• The cancellation of ARMM election was one of several serious decisions he made. And he is not lamenting it at all. He then justified it by saying that since massive cheating has been rampant in the region during the past elections, he thought that waiting for the next midterm fully-automated election is not inexpensive but will give credible result. And so, the solution is synchronization that can have a result of fairer elections.
• President Noynoy also mentioned about DPWH as one of the most productive departments in his government mentioning about billions of pesos saved so far because of the cancellation of projects tainted with graft and corruption.
• He also talks about good news from DOE that there are more than 140 investors expressed interests in oil exploration in just one year. And in 2014, our country will enjoy lower power rates because more power supply shall be finished.
• Pnoy also appointed a proven woman of integrity in the person of retired Justice Carpio Morales. Many believed that Carpio, at 70 is the perfect person to handle the delicate position of ombudsman. And most of the interviewed public figures from pro and opposition that it’s indeed a good choice by the President.
• He also talked about the foremost pledge to the Filipino people that is to create more jobs and it was successfully delivered because one million and four hundred jobs were created last year. Organizations such as

    I reflect on our own Declaration of Independence that states "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." We went to the Philippines to protect them from Spain and now here we are doing what we were keeping Spain from doing to these people. I ask you...do we have their consent to annex them? Do they believe it is in their best interest to be annexed to our great country? And what measures are we taking to fund a continued military presence to care for these people? If the Filipinos are not in support of this annexation, they will most assuredly fight us that will result in unnecessary violence and bloodshed of both American soldiers and Filipinos, whether you think them civilized or uncivilized. This is hypocritical to what we ourselves claim in our ideals expressed in our Declaration of Independence...the right to self govern. With this move of annexation are we not acting on the grounds of Imperialism which goes against our belief as a Republic? Are we conquerors, or are we liberators? I believe we should allow Aguinaldo, who we brought there from exile, to set up their own government and create a strong partnership that is agreeable for both the Philippines and the United States with mutual prosperity. Let us be the inspiration and model of their new venture and not force it upon them. This move will be viewed by eyes of other countries; it will impact their perception of our United States and the freedoms our nation…

    Chapter 3 is profusely important to the novel as it is the chapter in which the novel’s titular character, Jay Gatsby is finally introduced to the reader through the narrative voice of Nick Carraway. One of the ways that Fitzgerald does this is through the use of structure and dialogue. At the beginning of chapter 3 both the narrator, Nick Carraway and the reader are introduced to what a typical party at Gatsby’s house entails. “In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars” This quote highlights the key elements of the lifestyle revolving Gatsby. “Went like moths” this indicates that people are drawn to Gatsby due to “the whisperings” meaning the gossip about him and his questionably sourced money. Fitzgerald uses this chapter to build up to the introduction of Gatsby. This build up is continued through the use of dialogue in the chapter “...he was a German spy during the war” this highlights the speculation surrounding Gatsby as well as the infatuation the other characters have with him; it also reflects both Nick and the reader’s feelings at that point in the novel with regards to the mystery of Gatsby. Who is he? By using these techniques, Fitzgerald initiates the growth of a crescendo to the introduction of Gatsby. A crescendo which falls flat as Gatsby’s introduction is completely overlooked by both Nick and the reader who are so consumed by the scene and speculation around them, that they miss the very thing they are looking for. However this misdirection is extremely indicative of Gatsby’s character; he likes to observe and remain elusive as well as foreshadowing that much like his introduction, expectations built up for Gatsby will ultimately lead to disappointment.…

    The State of Union Address took place on Jan. 24, 2012 and followed specific traditions. All Congress members both in the Senate and House of Representatives, Supreme Court Justices, Generals, and distinguished guests were at the Address. The Cabinet came before the President and greeted everyone on the isles. When President Obama was ready, he was announced to the Speaker of the House. He also shook and kissed the Congress women and shook hands with Congress men. The most touching moment was when he personally greeted Gabrielle Giffords, a gunshot survivor. This was Obama’s 3rd State of Union speech, and would be recorded as one of the longest speech, 65 minutes. Obama’s speech started and ended with the Iraq War and the assassination of Bin Laden. He begins by…

    Two very different presidents ,as of the not yet moth Trumps been in office, have some considerably similar (and yet incomparably different due to their backgrounds, race, religion, etc) inaugural addresses. Obama had done some pretty newsworthy things while he was in office. He (the military under his head as commander and chief) killed the leader of the infamous terrorist group al qaeda Osama bin laden, put into place the healthcare system that cared for many, and legalised same sex marriage, and more. Thats a lot for trump to live up to. The new POTUS in the oval office has already done some pretty newsworthy things in his first three weeks as president, like the immigration ban of countries such as syria, sudan, iraq and others, and his…

    After watching the state of the union address given by President Obama, the speech got me thinking and evaluating how well the president has done thus far into his term. The president interacted with the congress very well throughout the speech. Every time he paused, the audience would give him a standing ovation. He even tried to throw a bit of humor into the speech by saying “…milk was somehow classified as an oil. With a rule like that I guess it was worth crying over spilled milk.” So for his ability to connect with his audience in congress, I award him an 8 out of a possible 10 points.…

    I have heard pretty much more or less about 10 State of the Nation Addresses by many presidents. They all have told pretty much the same common and general thing, that they being the president of the country for this year have done so much to help the Philippines. With investments coming in, roads and buildings constructed, health, education and insurance growths. Believe me when I say I have heard it all. Pnoy’s SONA is pretty much the same things I have heard other presidents say. They boast numerous and countless achievements in their term but still I have never yet to hear a truthful lay down of the Philippines in pretty much every SONA.…
