Tomorrow, Gloria Arroyo will once again deliver her State of the Nation Address. What’s in store for her audience remains to be heard but as always, we can always expect it to be one heck of a day.
Classes have been suspended at all levels but only a few students will be listening with a critical ear. Most of the working population will go about their routines. Some will hear it, some will not. Personally, my TV’s busted to I’ll have to rely on the Internet for updates.
Commonwealth Avenue will again be a circus with usual clash of riot police and militant activists. It has always been a great spectacle but tomorrow, Iglesia ni Kristo will also be celebrating their anniversary so we can all expect the expansive stretch of concrete to be awash with more color.
Unless Arroyo has some big announcement (snap elections, Martial Law, or Con Ass), I can only expect it to be more of the same – a speech from president trying to quantify her successes through numbers and qualify them with anecdotes. Some would say, the real SONA is on the streets – the cold hard facts of life compared to the more than optimistic view of an unpopular president.
Well, I say the true state of the nation is in every Filipino. Your nation is only as good as how your life in it is.

critics of our President are just showing how disrespectful they are..!
they should not act like that..!
what they focus is always on the negative side not recognizing the benefits they are getting from our President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo..!!!
that’s it..

It is true.
The real SONA is on the streets of Manila, among poverty, jobless and homeless.
The real SONA is on the countryside were landowners forced the peasants to run away from the peasant’s legal land. All this accomplished by yours presidents.
Where are the new jobs and how much are they paid?
Four year ago a kg of rice did cost 18 pesos. Today the price of the cheapest rice is 24 pesos: 30% more in 3 years.
To let my wife and daughter leave the country we spent nearly 6000 pesos (more than a salary in most of philippines) in various taxes.
Were do that money goes?
The chain of infrastructure is non-esistent and the national debt is one of the worst in Asia.
11% of the GDP spent for the military resources and 4% spent for the CARP.
Those are fact.
Menwhile we look forward another Estrada or even another Aquino and her 6000 Hct of land protected from her own CARP (remember her words? the land reform was supposed to start on her backyard aka hacienda luisita)

weLL..
aLL i can say is ..ahm..we should have 2to respect the SONA of our
Presedent . wala tayong magagawa cuz still siya pa rin ang
nakakataas sa atin..
if you mind, bakit ba palaging mali na lang ang
ating tinitingnan nakikita sa kanya? hmf.. bigyan natin siya ng
karapatan poara sa mga katiparan ng kanyang mga pangako..
