Aquino III will go down in history as country’s first bachelor president. In his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), he focuses on corruption matters among officials. I hoped that all of the platforms will be realized.…
It is known that Philippine is currently facing several political, economical, and social problems. The political system and the economical status are two inseparable factors on the growth of every country, and Philippine has no stable economic status because it has no stable government. The government plays a big part in managing and regulating the functions of the economy, it also must support the poor people in its country, even the rich ones, and at least it must provide shelter and food to the poor people living there.…
To have a glance on the a report prepared by Mr. Peter Wallace in its book entitled “Does the Philippines have a Chance?” you can see the naked truth about Philippines negative side. The identified realities then hamper development of the country. These realities were very complex that intertwined with each reality. Once the one problem exists it bred other problem or simply called the domino effect. The interrelated detrimental realities maybe made Mr. Wallace to raise the question, “does the Philippines have a chance?”…
Planning of economic policies & their implementations are the most vital facts of a country. Overall development of a country largely depends on economic policy design & its proper implementation.

Public office is all about public trust. People’s perspective on the effectiveness of a president does not merely lie on the constitutional basis. It is not included or mentioned neither in the Constitution nor under its laws and regulations that the public trust must always be present in each and every president-elect of The Republic. Public trust is being determined by the people; so the power of a president in a democratic nation like Philippines lies on it. Because power is all about control, a president won’t be able to have the power over his or her fellow people if they don’t possess any trust on him; therefore, he cannot control these people with his words.…
As President Benigno S. Aquino III assured that Philippines will remain conducive to business, the country’s economic strides haven’t escaped notice, noting the Philippines is now rated investment grade for the first time in history by three major credit rating agencies. The economy grew by a remarkable 7.8 percent in addition to countless other indicators of economic growth. As companies continue to reap the benefits of the Philippine economic revival, he expects the companies to also share the fruits of their hard works not only through philanthropic activities but also by setting the good example as citizens who fulfill their obligations. However, the pork barrel scam happening in the Philippines because of unscrupulous politicians, a.k.a. public servants, who instead of servicing the needs and aspirations of the people are working for their own selfish ambitions, sadly, this puts doubt now the much touted slogan of PNoy calling for a “tuwid na daan” or the straight path in his governance as militant groups have filed plunder complaints against Aquino, members of his Cabinet and businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles before the Office of the Ombudsman. Unfazed about the accusation and even daring the opposition to go ahead and file impeachment charges against, Aquino painted even a gloomier picture when he recently revealed that it was worst during Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s administration.Referring to Arroyo’s administration, during his speech before the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals,…
No wonder, the president of the Philippines called several press conferences not for the important issues about the economy but to maintain his reputation when it comes to love life. Pertaining to his, like a coca cola, “zero”. There are a lot of news that should have been discussed like the poverty of Filipinos, the health welfare, the lack of natural resources, the increase number of population of immigrants all over the world and the high rate of unemployment.…
Last July 22, 2013, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III delivered his fourth annual State of the Nation Address or simply, "SONA", in Batasang Pambansa Complex. For the record, it had been the longest SONA that Pnoy had given with almost 2-hour span of time, yet it had been also one of his less applauded SONA among his previous SONAs.…

As we all know, being a President of a certain state is not an easy task. Within the span of the term, he must have significant accomplishments, plans and answers for the problems of all his constituents. And every year, every Filipino awaits for the broadcast that would inform them about the present status of the country and this is by listening or viewing the State of the Nation Address.…
President Noynoy Aquino delivered his fifth State Of the Nation Address or SONA last July 28, 2014 and discussed important matters that he and his government have accomplished and wants to accomplish for our country. I only wanted to focus my reaction on his statements about our economy and education in our country.…
After the proclamation and formal assumption into office, along with fancy celebrations and parties, the new government of Noynoy Aquino is now starting to confront the challenges and problems of the country. Its cabinet is now almost complete and its policies and programs, though slowly, are taking shape out of the motherhood statements and broad campaign slogans. With the winning of Aquino, surveys showed that there is an increased optimism for a better life in the coming months among Filipinos from all classes. The promise of good governance have impacted the people and an atmosphere of relief from nine (9) years of mismanagement, illegitimacy and very corrupt governance is certainly in the air. This situation compelled various sectors, especially the Left, to discuss and debate on how we should deal with this new government.…
Now a days, our country needs a lot of effort if we want to sustain development and industrialization. It’s not the population that intervene the progress but the values of every Filipino especially the officials in the higher rank. If these will be resolve Philippines will be no longer in the third…
Filipinos, we can compete globally, internationally, and universally. We have great engineers, doctors, lawyers, teachers and other professionals. But where are those Filipino people right now? Are there hearts and minds are in the Philippines? I hope so. They were born and raised and study here in the Philippines but they use this country to be their practice ground only and after their graduation they will migrate and work in the country they want to. After that they will come back here and almost dying without saying “thank you’ or any contribution. The most pungent question they will ask is “what kind of government does the Philippines have?’. It’s just the same with what kind of people does the Philippines have.…
