The main topics tackled in PNoy’s 2011 SONA

-President Aquino vows to end culture of ‘wang-wang’. “To end the wang-wang culture in government, we employed zero-based budgeting to review programs. For this year and the last, zero-based budgeting has allowed us to end many wasteful programs.”

-President Aquino discussed that his administration focus to end culture of ‘wang-wang’ also resulted to a lesser Filipinos who experienced hunger. We have today a better economy, our country will have a cheaper, more reliable source of energy, more honest DPWH, no more over-importation of rice, better benefits for police and military.

-His government lines up new legislative measures for Filipinos to benefit, like better implementation of Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act was signed in 2003, more employment for the Filipino People, good health programs for the poor, his Congress passed a law synchronizing ARMM with the national elections, solutions to flooding problems, his DOST and UP have even teamed up to develop a prototype monorail system for our country.

-He calls on private sector to pay proper taxes…”Today we can see that our taxes are going where they should, and therefore there is no reason not to pay the proper taxes. I say to you: it’s not just the government, but our fellow citizens, who are cheated out of the benefits that these taxes would have provided.”

“Tapusin na po natin ang kultura ng negatibismo; iangat natin ang kapwa-Pilipino sa bawat pagkakataon. Bakit po ang iba, ang hilig maghanap ng kung anu-anong pangit sa ating bayan? At napakahirap—parang kasalanan—na magsabi ng maganda? Naalala pa po ba natin noong huling beses tayong pumuri sa kapwa Pilipino?'—Pnoy.

"Kaya po, sa sambayanang Pilipino, ang aking Boss na nagtimon sa atin tungo sa araw na ito: maraming, maraming salamat po sa pagbabagong tinatamasa natin ngayon." --Pnoy.

Our group shared the same views and sentiments in politics, concerning the administration of Benigno Aquino III.; we are all anti-PNoy. In this assessment about him are generally criticisms. Everything written here are purely opinions of the bloggers, no side was favored so the post can’t be considered as biased.

One of the members said: “As I was reading an article about PNoy’s presidency, his speaker said that on PNoy’s SONA, he wouldn’t tell his programs being implemented and projects made because he wants remain humble ‘daw’. On the comment box, someone said ‘he wouldn’t say anything about the things he did because there’s nothing to say!’ it caught my attention,State of the Nation Address is the opportunity of the ruler to put above his administration, to tell people of his own country about its progress, to inform us, citizens about the changes of some things which matter to everyone and make his voters feel proud and not regret, so the questions are: Why not tell? Why not inform? WHY?? Get rid of and stop lambasting the previous administration’s faults, we can’t do something about it by just saying them publicly but at least try to make a change and avoid those mistakes to be repeated.”
