SONA (State of the Nation Address)

State of the Nation Address is one of the duties of the Philippine President as stated in the Article VII, Section 23 of the 1987 constitution. It is an annual event of the Republic of the Philippines. During this event, the president stated the current condition or status of the Philippines. It was delivered during the 4th Monday of July. July 25 of this year, Pnoys delivered SONA @ exactly 3pm. It was Pnoy's second time to deliver it. Unlike past Presidents who used pure English or sometimes Tagalog-English, Pnoy used pure Tagalog which was for many a good move so that it can be understood by any level of Filipino Society.

I remembered in one of our class, our instructor said that at first he regreted that he voted Pnoy as the President but after he heard the SONA, his mind was being enlightened and realized that his vote was worth it. Before the SONA, he thought that Pnoy had done nothing important when after the deliberation of SONA, he realized that Pnoy did many things in our country. Many said that Pnoy take the latest administration corruption issue personal, and this is right since it was his money, it was my money, it was my parents money, it was our money whom those irresponsible politicians corrupted. Filipinos should take it personally!
