July 23,2012,Monday.
President Benigno Aquino III delivered his 3rd State of the Nation Address at the Batasan Pambansa starting at about 4:00 pm.
We watched the SONA in NCSHS since it was Monday.I nearly fell asleep but managed to hold it off(okay, so maybe I slept a little).But let me talk about the SONA.
It was very long,starting at 4:00 pm and I think it ended at about 6:00 pm.I read that it was the longest SONA ever.I didn't finish it but I read the rest of it on the internet.He spoke fluently and his powerful voice echoed through the building as he spoke of his accomplishments and goals while people rallied outside saying the opposite.He talked about projects,the economy,and the current state of the country.Senators and other officials attended the SONA.
I think that some of his accomplishments stated in the SONA is misleading. WHY IS THAT you ask? Well,flip the TV on and you can see that the crime rate has not increased nor has it decreased and many other things like that. It's like the accomplishments was ineffectual. Some of it did little to help our country.
I am not saying I am against the SONA.I am just saying that we should make goals or plans that can really help the Philippines and we should make it really work and make it effective.I was very impressed though at how he delivers his speech and how he can talk straight for an hour and a half.I hope that the goals he mentioned will be fulfilled and be done soon.
President Noynoy is a good president.He is just doing his job,a job that is not easy at any rate, and that is helping the Philippines grow and be a better place.
