SONA: AS USUAL

          "Unlike other speeches that begin and end with words, the SONA is a living discourse with continuing value," this is a statement written by a writer of Philippine Star.  I agree with this statement because every time I hear SONA, it is usually more on projects to be implemented and at the end, it contains solutions to a certain problem.
          Last July 23, 2012, the only son of the democracy icon delivered his third SONA.  During his inauguration, he stood before us and affirmed that he will root out the culture of "WANG WANG".  This project aims to put an end to the use of "wang wang" and to give a warning  to those abusive motorists who seem to be the king or queen of highways.  He stated during his third SONA that sirens only blare from the police cars, from ambulances and  from fire trucks-not from government officials.
         The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is also one of the ongoing projects of the government and he mentioned that the target within two years is 3.1 million and by February of this year, the three millionth household beneficiary of this program had been registered.
          As a student, I can say that there are some improvements in our country but I think we still need to strive harder.  We still need to improve what we have started.  Instead of blaming the past administration, let us just focus at the present.  Let us all cooperate for the betterment of our country. According to our president, "Let us all tread the straight and righteous path," let us start it now and for sure, tomorrow will become a better day.
