SONA
PPA 210 Theory and Practice in Public Administration

Well, compared to his previous SONA speeches, his fifth SONA

speech was full of emotions. The Presidents sincerity was deeply
felt by many.

However, his speech lacks information. I noticed that there

were a lot of things that were not discussed by the President in
his speech. His speech was too long to miss on some important
political and social issues.

This is his second to the last SONA, and everyone was

expecting him to discuss more about what is actually happening in
our country such as the impeachment complaints because of the
DAP, territorial disputes with China, pork barrel scam, energy
problems and more. I find it necessary for him to say something
about the pork barrel scam for anti-corruption was part of his
Tuwid Na Daan platform. I was even expecting him to say something
about manufacturing and agriculture as these are the basic
industries that are really job-generating.

Nevertheless, I still congratulate the government under

PNoys administration for all the good things they have achieved
for our country. Most of his projects are really commendable
especially the new infrastructures, which were mentioned many
times his speech, that were constructed during his
administration. I must also give credit to his administration for
making our economy into becoming one of the resilient and robust
in South East Asia. I am very positive that in the near future
we, the ordinary Filipinos, will all entirely feel the
improvements of economic gains of PNoys administration.

While watching militants rally during the SONA, I can say

that the saying you cannot please everyone is indeed true, but
as I see and feel it, I am more far comfortable on Aquinos
administration in contrast to any other administrations which
came before it.
