The SONA. PGMA presented her projects and how they are currently taking effect. She showed us how her projects are helping the Filipinos, such as the irrigation projects, the nautical highways, NFA rice, etc. She also explained why the VAT is important (and she emphasized on this). There were also people who are living proofs of the success of her projects, such as the fisherman who used to earn only Php100 a day, and now earns Php1000 a day. Or the group of girls, Who through TESDA, were able to study, and eventually get a job. There were also the jeepney drivers who now earn Php500/day from the former Php200/day. That’s great, I thought. But then, do these people really represent the Filipino nation? wow naman sana paunlarin nia ang bansa wag na nia pahirapan…

well it’s really a stopgap measure dark angel. few of us know that if the crisis gets worse, indonesia, malaysia, vietnam, cambodia first then philippines will surely go into rationing, so the solution is to buffer the effects of severe economic hardship. if that is not clear to you, only time can tell how far the present remedial actions of our government will measure up to the worsening global crisis. however, it won’t be bad to pray, if there’s someone to pray to… and it won’t be as bad to do our share. we are a strong nation and powerful people. if our countrymen went berserk abroad, how many u.s. presidents will die? how many rich people in europe will disappear? how many businesses will close down? it’s just that we don’t know how to love our country and do something good for it. i started this little blog after coming home from ny, usa. already, the national disaster coordinating council noticed that they have small inadequacies and little things that they could do something about. the department of transportation and communications is now listening to suggestions to start a national transport safety board. isn’t that something? for a few weeks worth of sincere effort, somehow something good happens?
all the criticism in the world will amount to nothing unless we really really do something. good luck to you, more power to all of you!!! — girbaudz

hey gurl, take a look outside your door or peep through your windows, maybe someone’s out there wants you to get EJUKKED eeeeeeccchhh!!!! eh he eh he eh he!!! —- girbaudz
please be careful of the words you are rendering to people ha?! mrs president!! be sure that all of that will make our economy much better than what it is right now!!!! please don’t make us look like fools!!!
The SONA of the President of Crises Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will be as usual, full of promises and empty rhetorics about progress bereft of the realities of poverty hammering the vast populace of the Filipino people including the urban poor. Time and time again promises made by the government didn’t come true and it is no secret this country (the Philippines) is known for its corrupt nature in the whole world. Will we believe a government that will seem to forever be just on the look out for themselves and filling their pockets with money from the populace? Are we forever to be in such predicament? Will there be no hope for the Filipinos to lead a better life especially for its masses?
i think that the SONA is just useless if the President will not change first her attitude and her administration, because the problem starts within ourselves, and the problem of the nation starts in all of this administration’s officials themselves…

“President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s
8th State of the Nation Address”
ANALYSIS:
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s 8th State of the Nation Address was well-delivered and well-research and many facts, figures stated which shows truthful statement. The presentation of the speech was done with some artistic ideas to highlight some important points that dwell on the theme: “RAMDAM NG ORDINARYONG PINOY ANG PAG-ASENSO” with the President SONA, “We are on the right direction”.
SONA’s real issue is the EVAT, “which being used to provide funds for projects by helping our country to be the richest country in the world”, said by PGMA. “This is fairly reflective of the nation’s actual state and the government’s short and long term plans and programs that focus on food and energy, self sufficiency and self-reliance”.
In terms of oil-price hike, we shouldn’t blame the President for the high prices of gasoline and oil because other countries were also having these problems. It is not the fault of the President that the price of fuel is over a hundred dollars.
Some people criticizing the 2008 SONA,
How immature these people criticizing PGMA’s SONA is. That’s why Philippines isn’t developing and improving because Filipinos always jump to the conclusion. What they can do for our country??!!… They shouldn’t judge the President and government officials and rancor them because of the penury suffering by the Philippines. Blame all those hard-headed ‘nominal’ citizens of our country. What they always do is to judge and criticize other people without any proof or evidence. What do you think will happen if we all follow the plans of government for the current and succeeding years? Success, right? We are making our own destiny! We are just making ourselves greedy! Even our government can’t provide all our necessities. We should make our own ways to solve it. Not that, we are always relying on them. Teach ourselves to be independent.
Over 80 million (approx.) population of our country, do you think it is all recognize? No!!! But if we try to stand in our own we could lessen the burden of the Philippines. Unemployment? We have enough jobs for the unemployed. But what? We are just sitting aside and increase the crime rate of our country. Imagine, the government has been providing us enough opportunities but still we don’t grab it. If we want to change the Philippine’s economic, political and moral standing, start within ourselves. “Its not about what our country can do for us, it is about what we can do for our country”.
I think we should take the brighter side. I mean to say, look at the brighter side. Many say President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo hasn’t done anything. In TV news, I saw people burning a statue of woman with the face of our President with words like “poverty”, “corruption” etc. etc… Many are truly angry. But haven’t they thought of the things Arroyo’s done for the country? She did have a viable and workable program to respond to the economic crisis. “Let us help our President to overcome the perfect storm”. Have we asked ourselves whether we had done our obligation? Are we not particular about the bad governance? Or we allowed it to happen even when we are supposed to act on it? Are we the type of people that put the blame on others, or are we the type that could act…… Nowadays, crisis is everywhere! Yet, this is “Earth the largest room for improvement”, they say!
I learned something. How will there be a change, even if the Leader is willing, if the hearts of the Members are unwilling? The country’s defect is not all Arroyo’s administration; it’s with the people as well. If we Filipinos take a little bit more courage to stand, a little bit more love for the country, and less war, less stupidity and waste of time, maybe we can all make the Philippines a better place ‘Altogether’. Sitting around and ‘voicing out’ the wrong way and complaining, finding all the faults you can find, wouldn’t help. War begets war. If you want true Peace, approach with Peacetime. I’m not a PGMA lover. I’m just stating that she shouldn’t be hated that much. But we should love her, as we should love our country. We must there with a helping hand for she is our President as of now. I hope we realize that.
PGMA is trying to correct all anomalies behind her nevertheless, that’s the real image of politics. I’m not blaming anyone yet we must start changing the Philippines within ourselves first…..

hi. am a political science student and being one, i can’t help but be aware of the proceedings that happen inside the government’s premises. her SONA is good (a very generous term to use) but as usual, it lacks the solutions that can help alleviate the people’s suffering. i mean, if she proposed one, that would be for formality only because that’s what people want to hear. but personally, i don’t think the mediate who’s currently seated offers solution to the problems faced by the country. it seems that the worst had passed but she could not be unglued in her comfortable seat. well, we can still hope for divine intervention if that’s the only way there is to sojourn her supremacy. listen to the people’s plea. they all say the same thing.

Hi Guyz,
It good to hear people are really paying attention to SONA (well at least you have time to even criticize it).
I should commend PGMA for the VAT. It is really needed. Given the fiscal deficits and the worsening global crisis, we really need VAT to institute social programs and to fund other projects hopefully targeted towards a sustainable economy. For one, VAT is also regressive as it really takes more from those who have most, not to mention that it somehow solves tax evasion. It is also investment-friendly which would later have positive impacts on the economic funadmentals (i.e. income growth, employment, etc.)
The problem is most of the “social” programs are indeed myopic in nature and does not take into account, sustainability and capacity building amongst players in the economy. Rather they cater to those that are politically appealling. Also, these programs will just eat up most of the VAT proceeds.
Good thing, there are some projects such as infrastructure and support to the agricultural sector that were reported in the SONA. At least there are some of these few good things. Notwithstanding, most of the support are still short-sighted and unsustainable unless funds wil come out regularly and elsewhere
It is really high time the the country undergo “real” reforms to initiate change. It may be painful in the short-term and there will be winners and losers. But the government should instill in its mind that the country has no time and no perfect audience to do these reforms. It is high time to surrender political appeals and do the right thing.
True, there are much to be done. Citizens should also play their part not through going to the streets and wishfully think that they could overrunn the government and initiate change. For one, some of them are just driven by false goals or even handled by “big men” in order to pursue their political careers. Filipinos should try to make every minute of their lives to be as productive as possible, and do away with politics.
anong ginanda ng vat?hindi nga nararamdman ng mga pilipino ang pag unlad. okay lang may vat basta wag yong sobrang taas.hirap na nga ang buhay lalo pang hihirap mga people,mas lalong uunlad yong mga negosyante.

y always blame the gov’t specially the president sa lhat ng masasamang ng yayari sa Pinas? tingnan nyo muna nga mga sarili nyo, at itanong nyo kung anu ang contribution nyo sa ikaaayos ng bansang ito, hindi ung puro kau criticism, wala magagawa yan, instead pinapalala pa nyan ang sitwasyon, mkipag tulungan kayo para my mga silbi kau, wag nyo i asa sa iba ang buhay nyo,, lhat tayo my kasalanan kaya gnito mga buhay natin, walang exemption yan, lhat tau..
the sona is not effective to change the economic crisis n0w…

hi girbaudz, i read your post and allevii’s. you really started some thread there. i think the lady by the river did vindicate herself, not through the sona but her performance. deal? or no deal?

i think we should not take any critism right now but we should think the things we should contribute to our government
ehba
perhaps you’re right there… if only…
mara april
what you said about being nasa gitna cannot always apply. somehow, some ways, we all need to stand up for what we believe in. you do too, most of the times do you not? i wish you more in life!
