REFLECTION

REFLECTION

I am not a fan of any SONA.  SONA is a selfie and riffraff narrative of every president’s “accomplishments”. I never take SONA seriously before. But this time it has been a feeling of gratification to listen to President “Noynoy” Aquino’s 4th SONA from start to end.

President Aquino’s 4th SONA was unique. His SONA was very comprehensive that covers all the issues that needed to be addressed. President “Noynoy” Aquino not only discussed his accomplishment and legacy—which is common to his entire predecessor, but also gave appreciation to those who deserve and was BRAVE TO NAME NAMES OF THOSE THAT MUST BE CRITICIZED AND BE HUMILIATED in the eyes of 90 million Filipinos.

From the time I understand about the word “CORRUPTION”, the next word I can associate is Bureau of Customs. It is an open secret to all Filipinos that this unit is corrupt. My school mate in college took Bachelor of Science in Customs because “malaki daw ang kitaan”—this is his main reason to take this degree that will be his profession in the near future—and to indulge in corruption? Imagine how deep the root of corruption here. I’m glad that President Noynoy hit them right on their faces.

I  don't agree to all that he sad in SONA, and that's not all neccessary to us to do it. But i like President Aquino’s sweetest line, “Ako po si Noynoy Aquino ipinagmamalaki ko po sa buong mundo na Pilipino ako at talaga namang napakasarap maging Pilipino sa mga panahong ito…”

Ipagmalaki po natin na tayo ay Pilipino. Isapuso po natin ang mga katagang nasyonalismo at pag ibig sa tinubuang bayan.

Tumulong po tayong mag ambag para sa ikakaunlad ng ating bayan. If you cannot do this, and you can’t let yourself part of the solution, at least don’t become part of the problem.
