SONA, Straight Path Towards Awareness

       This year's State of the Nation Address of our Honorable President Benigno S. Aquino III served as communication between him and his countrymen, wherein he stated his excellency within four (4) years of his administration. As a student, I should know the progress and developments of our country. And through this SONA, I was able to be aware of our nation's improvements. It awakened my realization and corrected my speculations that nothing good is happening in his administration. It's a great mistake.

        Reading his speech, word by word brought me pleasure and contentment. Pleasure, for I know our country is progressing and improving continuously; and contentment for his excellency. It is also good to know that one of his achievements governed the youth, through providing scholarships to all levels of education. Most of the programs he executed were in lined with education. Few of them were as follows: solving the problem of insufficient number of textbooks, chairs and classrooms; answering the very expensive cost of each textbook by lowering the designated price; and enduring these programs as time goes by. For the agriculture sector, he said that we are already exporting rice to the worldwide market, not like before that we are importing thousand tons of rice to eat with; faster crop productions and higher income for farmers and producers. For the fishermen, he brought the cold storage facility which helps  preserving of fish's freshness. For our health status, he implemented the Phil-health for every Filipinos and the budget for medical infrastructures and for better health services. Other concerns of his SONA were concentrated on the calamities, housing programs, protection programs, SSS insurances, and many, many, many more.

         Through this SONA, I hope Filipinos knew the developments of our country and realize that we can still stand by our feet behind hindrances that we are facing with.
