SONA 2012

Nothing Is Impossible!

“Report to Boss”—this was the title of the State of the Nation of Address 2012 of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III who rallied last July 23, 2012 at Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasan Pambansa Complex, Quezon City.

                Every year a president reports to his fellowmen if what its administration has been accomplished and what he will make or implement to move forward for a better country. Our Philippine President Benigno Simeon Aquino III delivered his third SONA last Monday. “Nothing is impossible to a united nation. It was change we dreamed of and changed was achieved!”—President Aquino said. The main topic tackled in Aquino’s 2012 SONA are Relief and Rescue Operation if there is a calamity, it is now ready, GDP Group Rate of Philippines in the first quarter of 2012 is now on 64% which is higher than 3.6% on the first quarter of 2011. We are now the one who are lending money, Foreign Media praised the progress of the economy of the Philippines, 85% of the Filipinos are now members of PhilHealth, and 11,751 Community Health Teams strengthen the relation of doctors and nurses in the community. DepEd had already helped in the shortage of classrooms and chairs, Campaign against Illegal logging, proper collection of Taxis one of the reason to have change in the economy, Impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona. He also told about West Philippine Sea. “It is not right to just give it away our own to others. Don’t just forgive and forget.” These are the very important topics that have discussed by President Aquino. I think President Aquino have done his best to became the leader of our nation. I can only say to his speech is that he has delivered it properly and clearly. Are we really now experiencing the so called “change”? I don’t think so because there were still many Filipinos who are experiencing poverty and shortage of their basic needs. I hope Aquino administration will be more active in implementing programs and services for the betterment of our nation.

                “What was once impossible is now possible. This is not my SONA, it is the SONA of the Filipino Nation”—that was the last part of President Aquino’s speech.
