State Of the Nation Address (Reaction)


     President Benigno Aquino's 4th State of the Nation Address was delivered last July 22, 2013 at the Senate. It is considered the longest SONA in post-1986. It took him approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to deliver it.
     He spoke on the improvements of Philippines specifically on the achievements made, allied from his previous SONA.

     Some says it's simple yet meaningful, others say it's quite long and boring. Though lengthy, he still lacked to tackle deeper issues regarding the theme of his address and concerns that really matter. In his speech, no job declaration was mentioned. Proven by some analysts, he also did not have a say on human rights. The fuming issue on political dynasty and the solutions on military disputes were not also mentioned. It also had clips which in fact is not affecting the majority.
     Most of his political promises are still in progress, some are done and gradual reforms are already visible, but some aren't given enough actions yet. It's true that leading a country and improving it do not take only one, two, or hundreds of days. I know it, and I'd consider that.
    Overall, the State of the Nation Address of Honorable President Benigno Aquino III was great. I am hoping that every word in there would be visible as soon as possible and that it will still continue even after his term.
