All of us Filpinos wish to feel the warmth of success. PNOY delivered again his another SONA or State of the Nation Address that can be a way to get what we are wishing. It is common that every SONA, president always make promises. "Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that is humanly possible.
SONA.... This year were focused on the achievements of the government on his term such as approval of the Sin Tax Reform Law and "Responsible Parenthood Law"
(RH Law), Reforms in Education System (K-12), Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Increase in number of Tesda Graduates, Increase in Philhealth Enrolles from 62% to 81% and improved benefits, Allocation of P6.2 billion for flood control in Metro Manila, Completion of 9, 377 housing units for typhoon Sendong victims, 63% Reduction in number of Private Armed Groups, 21.4 increase in foreign tourist arrivals in 2012 and 7.8 % GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
However, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for 2012 and various economic reform programs of Aquino government for his three years in the palace, Philippines is still has the worst unemployment rate in Asia. More than 11 million Filipinos are jobless according to SWS and IBON Foundation survey results on the first quarter of 2013.
I salute PNOY. We all know that there are problems abound in the government and those problems are taking their toll on our society. The problems will be there always unless if we'll take the initiative to solve them, even in our humble way. I hope PNOY will be able to deliver to his promises.
