Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2008 to focus on disaster management
Disaster management would be highlighted during the 8th State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at the House of Representatives building in Quezon City on July 28.
This following the tragedies resulting from previous typhoons that passed the country. The president wants to ensure that a repeat of such incident in the future could be prevented through intensified disaster preparedness programs and updated rescue and relief operations guidelines. The speech, which is initially 10-page long, would also discuss the government’s social welfare program in response to the current global crisis stemming from the rising prices of oil and food. About 6,000 policemen and soldiers will be deployed by the government to secure the House of Representatives building in Quezon City during the president’s SONA.

i’m not pro-gloria. sana ay maging responsable lang tayong mga Pilipino.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:28 pm
react lang ako dun kay PGMA. kahit sino pa ang maupo dyan sa pagkapresidente ay babatikusin ng opposition. ang mga utang na binabayaran ngayon ng mga Pilipino, ay dahil din sa mga utang ng nakaraang presidente. kahit nga ung mga projects ni Marcos, meron pa rin tayong binabayaran hanggang ngayon.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:29 pm
. 1 child policy? hindi naman overpopulated talaga ang PILIPINAS. sa metro manila lang or sa ibang cities. pumunta kayo sa batanes isang kilometro layo ng bawat bahay, i mean ang kailangan lang natin ay paunlarin ang bawat rehiyon. hindi lang naman nasa maynila ang hanapbuhay.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:29 pm
at sa pagmahal ng bigas at langis, sa bigas, hindi kasi natutukan ang agriculture sector kaya ayan nagkaron ng shortage. sa langis, pandaigdigang krisis yan! ang prob kasi ay ang lorenze curve natin, mas madami ang bourgeoisie sa lipunan at minamanipulate ang mga nasa ibaba.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:30 pm
kung tutuusin ay mayaman din ang ating bansa, dahil sa taas ng tax. ang layunin ng E-vat ay maganda. ang problema, ok sana kung nakikita natin ung binabayad natin, kaya lang hindi eh. nakukurakot. ang sinasabi ko ditong PAGKURAKOT ay hindi lamang sa mga government officials kundi pati sa bawat isa sa atin!!!
July 31st, 2008 at 4:30 pm
yung simpleng pagdagdag sa presyo ng aklat natin pag humihingi ng pera sa magulang. lahat tayo, may kasalanan nun. NASA tao kung siya ay magsisipag at papaunlarin ang kanyang sarili.

For me, President Arroyo’s state of the nation address is for the sake of the countrymen and for the economy of the country… I know many disagreed about her SONA because they are only for their good without thinking about the country’s other problem’s which are more important than theirs… For me, we should not blame the government immediately without blaming ourselves first… I know we are the ones who caused the country’s problems: (1) overpopulation, (2) poverty, (3) crime rates… We are so bad; we are blaming our problems to the government, which are trying hard for the country’s development. We don’t even blame ourselves for overpopulation. If I know, the government is much pressured, because of us; who are always blaming, complaining and murmuring. The president and her administration can’t concentrate on governing, but in defending themselves and the president’s family about the issues which are partially true, BUT we should not make some of it, a big deal because nobody’s perfect, we all commit mistakes… YOU! Are you worthy and good enough to judge the president?!
I know, the president is corrupt, but, if you were on her position, would you not also do it??? I don’t think so…But it’s not only her, but almost all politicians are doing it.
For me, we should not always give negative responses about our president’s governing ways. It’s not that easy to handle a democratic country like ours…Especially when we, the countrymen don’t know anything about governing our country for good. For me, many people in our country always blame the government, they are not grateful of what the government did for them. For me, we should learn to be optimistic, because we still have hope and chance to improve. We should also learn how to appreciate what the government is trying to do for us and for the economy and the status of our country… We should help the government instead of blaming them and making their issues complicated. We should not also judge her as if we are better!
(Are we?!)
Why don’t we try to first think how to help ourselves in getting out of poverty and financial problems!?
August 2nd, 2008 at 6:53 pm
all you said in your sona are all lies!
just try to prove what you said in your sona so that people
willnot blaming you!
August 4th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
..whatever pero may point naman ako….
..diba kapag mahiram karamihan ang libangan yun!..
..alam mo kasi sa ibang bansa ang nangyayari kapag dalawa anak libre sa tuition ..
..then kapag lumagbas sa 2 wala na..
..syempre ang iba mapipilitan na di namanganak..
..anong say mo!
August 8th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
let’s all act as one… nothing will happen if we willl just keep on blaming each other.. GMA, we need your actions not just your speech…
