5th State
of the Nation Address
President Benigno
Aquino III
As time
goes by, a nation becomes stronger or weaker. It needs someone to lead and
guide its people towards success. And its success is the wealth and excellency
of its people.
Last
July 28, 2014, in the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III delivered his 5th
State of the Nations Address (SONA) at the Session Hall of the House of
Representatives, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City. Former President Fidel
V. Ramos, Vice President Jejomar Binay, Senate President Franklin Drilon, other
officials of the government, well-known people and media-men were present to witness
the SONA of President Aquino.
In his
SONA, he said that the Filipinos are worth fighting for. And because of that,
he mentioned different success of his administration and the different
agencies.
For the
Department of Education, 66% of the Training-for-work Scholarship beneficiaries
are already on job while the remaining 34% is still looking for something and
they are being helped by the TESDA. He also forenamed the programs and works of
other agencies and even got especial mentions to the cabinet secretaries like Secretary
Babes Singson and Secretary Linda Baldoz, and their companions in doing those
projects.
He is
also planning a P2.606 trillion budget for the next year.
What I had noticed is that, he just stated to all of us his
success. But what the people also want to know is, what is already happening?
We all want an update about our current issues because Filipinos don’t want to sit
back and relax while their taxes are being corrupted by the people whom once we
have laid our trusts. We want our answers about the dirtiness of these people.
The Filipinos can’t wait to have their
justice!
Why
does he only informed us minimal information for the Department of Education?
This is where everything started. This is where a youth’s being is mold and
where you begin to step for a better future. Many schools are lacking
facilities and equipment for learning. Because we students need these materials
so we can earn our gems and gold easier than waiting for like forever. Everyone
wants a better future.
After the SONA, I am satisfied to his reports but most
probably not too happy about not discussing the PDAF Scam, and the Disbursement
Acceleration Program. The Filipinos were expecting for him to at least say
something about the current issues in the economy of the Philippines.
