PNOY's 4th SONA

                                       

SONA or State of the Nation Address is a speech delivered by the president of the country every 4th Monday of July. This SONA is all about the part of the president in the development of the country and what he could do to improve these. It is an annual report about his accomplishments.

               July 22, 2013. The day of the 4th SONA of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. His speech lasted for almost 1 hour and 40 minutes. He tackled about graft and corruption. Of course, if an official is in a position in the government, he/she cannot avoid corruption but it is not for all. Our President is now more frank; he named the institutions which are not performing well.

               Is our country more productive now? Are there differences? It’s been 3 years when our president sat on his position. Many told that that our economy is improving but some cannot accept this because their present status is not yet developing. The president also mentioned the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. There are many questions raised if this program is really effective. Is it really good to give cash grants to less fortunate families?

                This is the longest SONA for his last 3 SONA’s. Does this mean that he had done a lot? There are many projects mentioned like the K-12 curriculum and many others.

                 The question is why are there rallyists?  Does this mean that the President's performance is not yet enough?
