State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Benigno S. Aquino III) Name: Leo Frank T. Lamban Course/Year/Section: BSE I-2 Professor: Mrs. Rosabella A. Mendez In his first twenty five months of service as a president, I can say that he is performing well for the benefit of this country especially for Filipino people. On his statement, Nothing is impossible to a united Filipino nation he had started to let it happen. The very hated corruption like the PAGCOR coffee issue had been cleared and further doing actions for doing actions for corrupt officials. About our economy, its getting better and may even become Asias next Tiger according to a leader of ASEAN 100. On health, penniless Filipinos are benefited from PhilHealth. They are now able to experience medical services without having to shell out a single centavo. On our Education, backlog on Educational facilities have now a supplements. Tourism industry is fast growing. Building of infrastructures facilitates the growth of our industry. Environmental actions are now implemented. Well, its a sign of good service from our president. On the other hand, eliminating poverty is the primary concern of our president. Its good to hear the Pantawid Pamilya Program that helps our poor countrymen. Its a good action of the president but many are not convinced and continue to criticize. For them, it is not enough to eradicate poverty but for me, its enough. We should cooperate and have unity. Its inappropriate to always receive the given financial assistance. We should also work for our own. Stand by ourselves. Though this, we can eradicate poverty totally. To our President, its a job well done. Continue to serve your bosses. Always be on straight and righteous path. May God bless you always.
