The 5th SONA 2014 highlights the achievements of the government on education, social services, economy, improvement, infrastructure, calamity efforts, jobs, rehabilitation after typhoons and earthquake, modernization of AFP, security, ARMM Bangsamoro and livelihood.
More subjects to be focused on with Pnoy Administration to prosper into the development that all Filipinos were waiting to happen. It’s within his power to establish such programs to elevate ways and means in dealing with poverty-stricken sectors of our society.
The infrastructures should always be developed to catch-up the developing countries in the Southeast Asian nations. The Philippines has the edge in terms of development compare to its neighboring countries.
Under the controversial DAP, PNoy said that around P1.6 billion fund was given to Training-for-Work Scholarship Program of TESDA. A total of 223,615 beneficiaries have graduated with an equivalent of 146,731 graduates currently working.
This is a good sign of developing the livelihood of every graduate to push forward their lives into the future. Hoping that more graduates could make it successfully every year. TESDA could produce more qualified workers locally and abroad with its standardization of educational system.
President Aquino also boasts the Expanded Conditional Cash Transfer program which has started this June with a budget of 12.3 billion. According to him, the poverty incidence went down to 24.9% in the first quarter of 2013.
Despite of the said achievements and plans of the government, thousands of protesters marched along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City toward Batasan Pambansa as a sign of disgusted people over the Pinoy Administration. According to them, Aquino is the pork barrel king as they have showed "holDAPer" effigy which pertains to the President's DAP.
So, these protesters were doing their share in making the chaos out of SONA and rate the President. I think they’ll rate it as 0 to substantiate their pains why Pnoy applied DAP without their knowledge? They wanted it to show to the world that the President made a mistake and step down at once? But it won’t happen.
The President did not mention the issue on the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) with many of the politicians was involved. Also, he failed to include the passage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill in his SONA. The measure aims to eliminate corruption in the bureaucracy by giving the public greater access to government transactions and records.
Maybe the leftists wanted to hear these things to heighten their desire to be talked about and acted at once in the streets; to demonstrate and show their sentiments as barkers of peace and truth, the brave democratic citizens who represent the small disgusted geniuses behind this street drama of all time.
Whoever our elected President in the future, unsatisfied citizens will surely make another chaos to demonstrate their feelings towards our leaders. In fact, the word satisfaction’s not on their vocabulary.
Unification of minds and hearts of all Filipinos is the key to develop gradually while our faith keeps intact forever.
A passing mark will he get from me. Much better if he tackle the FOI issue.
ReplyDeleteI would love it if the Philippines will get a President that would really focus on what will do god for the nation.
ReplyDeleteOh I missed his 5th Sona. I was not able to watch the Filipino news lately.
ReplyDeleteSo true, when everyone unifies - things gets handled easier.
