June 22 marked another significant event on the calendars of every Filipino. This day, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III gave his 4th State of the Nation Address in his term.
President Aquino gave his SONA at the Batasang Pambansa in Manila where all politicians and celebrities showcased their colorful and stunning attires which Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago didn't agree with. She stated that the concentration of the audience would be on the attires instead of President PNoy's speech. The senators agreed with her so it was decided that Senator Loren Legarda will design the SONA uniforms.
A lot of our fellow citizens protested outside the venue. According to them, the way he ruled was not enough to raise them in poverty. But for some, they were satisfied with the way PNoy ruled. Behind this situation was a success.
PNoy praised the department secretaries and all the government employees for a job well done. He focused his speech on how to make Philippines a progressive country. He gave importance to education which the politicians thought was not enough. They were not satisfied because PNoy forgot to talk about the budget of the Philippines, the hottest issue-- the Pork Barrel, and the OFWs.
In overall, the 4th State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III was a success.
