President Benigno Simeon Aquino III's Fourth SONA

President Benigno Simeon “PNoy” Aquino III delivered his fourth State of the Nation Address in Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City on July 22, 2013 with the theme, “Sa Gitna ng Daang Matuwid.”

           The address was the longest SONA he had delivered compared to his SONA before. It started at exactly 4:03 PM and ended at 5:46 PM, receiving 88 times of applause from Government officials, media and others who attended in the address. In my own opinion, President Aquino was successful in sending the complete development of his administration and getting the trust of the Filipino people in the government, and his SONA demonstrated the confidence he has with his actions. However, I thought that the speech was too long, I felt that he delivered all he wanted to say like the Cybercrime Act, passage of Freedom of Information bill,and the P10 Billion pork scam. He should’ve mentioned about the scam with a reduction of time for anti-corruption is his main reason in the”Daang Matuwid proposal.

               And we all know that the President can’t change the country all by himself, and about his theme, it is very admirable. We must support his plans so that we can completely feel the act of economic expansion of his administration. Also, we must stay full of life in influencing him to be real to his promise of shortening corruption that is consuming most of our government’s funds.
