Reaction Paper : 2011 State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III

Last 25th of July this year, the State Of the Nation Address was held. As far as I remember, President Benigno Aquino III won last election maybe because of the help of the economic background of his parents contributed upon us. His advertisements were obviously all connected to his parents’ personal background.

Way back 1970’s, that is, the deceased Benigno Aquino (Ninoy) had fight for the human rights against Former President Ferdinand Marcos that initiate the Martial Law occurrence. In that way I admired Ninoy for having a large contribution for our country. In that incident, most of the people suffered from Marcos that made the people put their trust on Ninoy. When he died on 1983, his wife, Corazon Aquino, on the latter part was elected and became the 11th president of our country, signifying the essence of freedom by the presence of the yellow ribbon.

Going to the main subject matter, I somehow agreed with PNoy’s speech most mainly the things being focused on the future plans to our country. The changes that he wants to attain on our government aspects have been said. His plans seem fulfilling to the public, and I’m hoping that it’ll not be only a plan that is being thought of, but could be true someday. He also focused the “Wang-Wang” thing that refers to the usage of abusive power among the public officials in our country. In this mentality he wants this to be removed in our society. He also discussed the contributions he has made in our nation like having an improvement on our stock market.

The president reiterated his policy against corruption and abuse of power. He cited his wang-wang 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

    Hard-working, immensely intelligent, passionate, prayerful and noble, he dedicated his life to public service and, in the latter years of his life, took a stand against the death of democracy in the Philippines. He went through so much pain and loneliness in his struggles, but he was resilient and continued to fight for our freedom. He often said that he was not afraid of dying, and it’s moving to see how much he was willing to give up for this fight. These days, we see our politicians swinging from one party to another, to wherever they think will give them a better chance at winning. It seems that parties — or politicians, for that matter — no longer stand for any one ideology. In Ninoy’s case, you see his beliefs in everything he does — his hunger strike, his seven years in prison, and his attempt to return to Manila. Actions speak louder than words after all. Through his…

    To begin with, I am not one of the numerous pro-Aquino Filipinos, neither I’m a pro-Arroyo, but I’m not saying I’m against him. I believe he is ethical but I think he is not that effective as a leader and thus I do not totally trust his capacity to handle our country. But well, he stood out during the elections and I had no choice but to respect and accept it for the sake of our country.…

    In the musicale, the characters exhibited the Ninoy Aquino in them by fulfilling their responsibilities and doing what is right. However, I believe that it is an unspoken human rule to do what’s morally good. While other people may pass off certain activities and behaviors such as recycling, keeping electrical consumption to a minimum, or saying po/opo as being Ninoy, if we look at it closely, those are neither the reason why he became the hero of martial law.…

    The simple yet notably patriotic statement of the president earned the applause of the participants at the conference, in which hopefully the Filipinos appreciated it - regardless of their political stand about his administration.

    INTRODUCTION “Tuwid na Daan” or the Straight Path is a phrase repeatedly mentioned by President Benigno S. Aquino III to pertain to his governance direction for the country. Essential to this concept of “Tuwid na Daan” is the battle cry “Kung Walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap.” The administration believes that corruption is the root cause of the country‘s woes, and eliminating corruption will necessarily lead to renewed investor confidence, eventual growth and development, poverty reduction, and attainment of peace. The straight path, however, does not only pertain to the President‘s anti-corruption campaign. It also encompasses a way of doing things right, where the process is participatory; the programs are holistic; growth is sustained; the peace policy is comprehensive; and development is sustainable. Through the living examples of our leaders, led by the President, this re-awakened sense of right and wrong continues to be translated to economic value. It is in this light that the accomplishments of the Aquino Administration, since the first State of the Nation Address (SONA) in July 2010, are being highlighted: A. GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ANTI-CORRUPTION Taking the initial step in the achievement of ―Kung Walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap‖, where eradicating corruption is seen as the key approach to development, President Aquino laid the foundations for a clean, transparent, and responsive government. Key reforms continue to be instituted to reduce red tape, enforce anti-corruption and anti-red tape laws, and penalize those who violate these laws. The government is also fixing the incentive structures to recognize merit and reward good performance with the aim of ensuring the sustainability of the Aquino reform agenda. These and other initiatives are presented below: 1. Institutionalizing Public Accountability 1.1. Reforming the budgeting and project identification processes 1.1.1. Government‘s prudent expenditure…
