Not An Outcry, It's a Support for Pnoy

         The State of the Nation Address or SONA is an annual event in the Republic of the Philippines, in which the president of the republic reports on the status of the nation. This is a duty of the President as stated in Article VII, Section 23 of the 1987 Constitution. SONA is delivered every 4th Manday of July.

          Different reaction and emotions came out from me after reading the SONA of Pnoy. There were achievements and changes that made me happy and at the same time, there were important issues missed that made me sad and unsatisfied. One of these misprojects was the Agrarian Reform for the poor farmers. Farmers are considered as the backbone of our country. Without them, the entire body of Filipino will suffer hunger and poverty. We are all benefited by the crops given by the farmers but why is it that the covernment continously take them for granted? When the transprters buy the crops from the farmers, the prices were very low but when the transporters sell these to the city markets, the the prices are very high not affordable by every Filipino. The farmers are those who worked very hard so they must be paid with enough amount. They should be receiving higher amounts than the transport companies. This is the sad real situation of our Filipino farmers. The government is the one responsible for this unhumane. Pnoy should take immidiate actions for this important issue.

           Other issues not met in the 2nd SONA were on population, unaffordable goods, increase price of gasoline/oils, and increasing the salary not only bthe government employees but also the privates.

          Base from the sreported achievements, Pnoy has the potential to raise our country's economis status. He still have 5 more years to make us satisfy his works. I hope that he could hinish all that he had started and that he would take immidiate actions for important issues.

          Evem though I have listed my negative reactions, it doesn't mean that I am against his administration. I am not supporting the opposing parties. I am supporting Pnoy as our leader because we have the same aim. We both aim for the country's development. As we all say, Teamwork makes the dream work. If we will not work together and just stand at different sides, actions will not work out.
