Every year, the President of the Republic of the Philippines gives Congress and the people an update about the national situation through the SONA or the State of the Nation Address
When it finally happened on July 25, the president reiterated his policy against corruption and abuse of power. He cited his “No wang-wang (siren)” policy as a “the symbol of change, not only in the streets but also in society.”He again enumerated irregularities in the previous administration, revealing that the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation spent P1 billion for coffee.Aquino also announced the appointment of former Supreme Court Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales as the new Ombudsman.In the delivered entirely in Filipino, which lasted nearly an hour, Aquino said his administration may bring the West Philippine Sea dispute before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.He also cited the country's better credit ratings, a more stable economy, and a lower “hunger rate” among his administration's accomplishments.Though the president got more applause from the audience in his second SONA, socio-civic groups expressed that they were disappointed with his report to the nation. They said he did not address reproductive health and teachers' salary, among other issues.The president also did not mention the freedom of information bill, which he promised to support during the presidential campaign.
I know that in his SONA, he told many things.but i was i wonder becaus he did not discuss about the major problem of our country which is the education,health, and the agrarian reform.
