“Pnoy’s 3rd State of the Nation Address”

 

            The Third State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Benigno S. Aquino III at the House of Representatives on Monday (July 23, 2012) drew mixed reactions from government officials.

            Not everyone was impressed by the President’s 30-page speech which Malacañang said last week will be “truthful” and “inspiring”. SONA brought back pride and dignity in public service. We must believe and realize that we all have an obligation in making our country great again. Within these two years, under Pnoy’s central economic policy Public Private Partnership (PPP), the public has been burdened with unabated price increase in oil and petroleum products, water and power rates. this has impacted the access to food and basic utilities and services of not only the poorest of the poor, but as well as of working middle class.Pnoy delivered one of the longest songs in recent memory, yet he said not a single word about the worsening human rights reward of his administration and the impurity that he continues to prevail.

            This indicates that Pnoy is intent on an all-out war policy against the communist insurgency and will lead to even more human rights violations.
