SONA 2K14

SONA, What have been done?

               Another year has gone and the president will again be reporting what has been done in the past years. The big question is, is there a big improvement during his time of regime?

              In his fifth year of delivering his State of the Nation Address, people kept on wondering what the president has done for the country. There’s this DAP or the Disbursement Acceleration Program that he keeps on talking about which contributed lots of money to TESDA which enables many students from this program to graduate. Well, people might say that our president is not credible for there are few improvements that we see. We can’t blame citizens of our country for their reaction about the SONA because we can’t seem to see the improvements the president has been talking about. 

                According to the president, he is contented with the accomplishments of his administrations. But does these accomplishments that he has done worth it for the people? The president stated about the country’s growing economy, the poverty’s alleviation, as well as the government’s speedy response about the typhoon “Yolanda”. Another question is, are these accomplishments he’s saying really was accomplished? 

             The president stated that they worked to have the ability of the fund the projects they have implemented, the project they are implementing and the project that he will be implementing. There are many efforts of the government especially the times of the Yolanda-typhoon. They exerted they’re power and energy for the people to be okay. He stated that the roads, airports and the endless repairs for Tacloban was immediately responded but through the action of the government that the people see, they having second thoughts on this acknowledgements the president have spoken. 

               It is very common that the president is always giving promises during State of the Nation Address. But the despite the said achievements and plan of the government, there are many protesters that marched during the occurrence of the SONA and according to this protesters that he is the Pork Barrel King but the president didn’t mentioned anything about the PDAF. 

             Despite all these allegations and accusations to Pnoy, he still keeps his integrity that he has no involvement with the said PDAF. And to him, there is progression of the country and it is because of the success of his leadership. As he always say, we are his’ boss and he always try to navigate the straight path. 

                    With his SONA, he expressed his self in a way that the citizen may understand him. Maybe in the next years, there will be many improvements of our country and with those, the citizen wished that they can already see the promises and the achievements the president have been talking about. They prospect a very good action about the economic problems in our country and not only tell it but do it. For me, the SONA is credible but I expect for the much improvement of the country and show it to the citizens of the Philippines because citizens only believe what they saw. Until our faith and trust is still whole, it is proven that the Filipino is worth dying for, the Filipino is worth living for. And added to that, the Filipino is definitely worth fighting for.
