Before we start, I would just like to remind that all the person and scene that we’ll impersonate

that would be
mentioned in this activity has no 100 percent accuracy to what really occurred, there are scenes that would be not
intended to show disrespect to those mentioned, we would want to advance apologize for stirring some confusion.

Miel: mygosh, can’t still comprehend the fact that we’ll watch state of the nation address 2023

Carrie: I mean it can’t be that hard right?

Hanna: yeah, we just need to focus at some points of the SONA, you can always fast forward it

Jasen: right now let’s all proceed on watching it

GIAN: To all my beloved citizens; ladies and gentlemen; Good morning to all.

We live in difficult times brought about by some forces of our own making, but certainly, also by forces that are beyond
our control but we have, and we will continue to find solutions and these are some of them.

Firstly, the biggest problem that we encountered was inflation. It is very rampant, not only because of the pandemic, we
were also badly damaged because of the world war that’s happening between Russia and Ukraine, this worsen on how
we get our gasoline, because of this gas, electricity and food also went up but of course we launched various solutions
for this problem, we conduct policies with the help of our economists and also launched new strategies and because of
that the global prospects were bleak, our economy posted a 7.6 percent growth in 2022—our highest growth rate in 46
years. [applause] For the first quarter of this year, our growth has registered at 6.4 percent. It remains within our target
of 6 to 7 percent for 2023. We are still considered to be among the fastest-growing economies in the Asian region and in
the world. [applause] It is a testament to our strong macroeconomic fundamentals.

Then, let’s tackle about the education system in the Philippines. I am already going to say that we offered a huge sum of
money for this. We are inclusive in our pursuit of social protection. The pension of the military and the uniformed
personnel is as important, as urgent, and as humanitarian as that of all other civilian Filipino employees. Efforts are
underway to make it fully functional and financially sustainable. We are once again working closely with Congress to
ease the transition from the old system to the new one, so as to be able to guarantee that no effects are felt by those in
the uniformed services. The MATATAG Agenda for basic education has been launched, focusing on relevance of
curriculum, rapid and responsive delivery, and the welfare of both learners and teachers. The shortage of classrooms
and facilities is being addressed. Aside from new constructions, schools and facilities are being retrofitted to become
ready for the future—ready for hybrid and high-tech learning, and also climate-ready and disaster-proof. [applause]
Through the DepEd Partnership Assistance Portal, private sector partners continue their assistance in the rehabilitation
and improvement of schools, as part of their corporate social responsibility programs.

*inaudible noises

Lastly, let’s talk Our tourism that has always been a reliable pillar of our economic growth through the years, providing
livelihood to more than 5 million of our citizens…

*stop the tv

Carrie: did you all take down notes?

Hanna: yes, I did, I can say that it is accurate (own)This statement shows how accurate what our President Bongbong
Marcos explains here, it is accurate because on how he precisely give information or summarizes all the information we
needed to know as his Filipino citizens because we have the right to know and discover what type of economic growth
has we have. As he deliver the speech "From 8.7% in January, our inflation has continued to ease up in all regions,
settling now at 5.4% for June. What this means is that in spite of all the difficulties, we are transforming the economy.
We are stabilizing the prices of all critical commodities." he's really confident that there is something new in the
economic growth of the philippines and there's a change in transforming our society from low to ease it up to increase
our economic growth. Also, the pieces of information he gave is really informative that we will notice the problems has
the answer right after it and it is easier to know how they work to increase and ease up the inflation in our society.

Jasen: I agree with hanna, other than that I can say that it is also full of thought, hmmmm, complete, (own) All detailed
explanations were provided by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. He included statistical information and also answered
the 5 wh questions (What, Why, Who, Where, When) this provided the viewers more understanding on his claims and
plans. The issues he raised still needed importance until today as issues like this might still arise and be faced by our
economy.

Miel: timely relevant too,

*aj arrived

Carrie: wow, so early ha?

Aj: oh come on, it’s traffic kasi

Hanna: shut up, you literally live blocks away

Aj: you know what? Whatever, what are we gonna do nga again? SONA or something?

Miel: yeah, and you should watch it already

Aj: sure, sure

Gian + josaine acting = fast forward while

Ruth: back to what I am saying President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. 2023 took office on July 24. President Ferdinand
"Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s second State of the Nation Address (SONA) echoed his father's, particularly his plans on
agriculture, the economy, and infrastructure. Marcos delivered his second SONA at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in
Quezon City. He spoke for an hour and eleven minutes, switching between English and Filipino depending on the topic.
As he discusses current challenges like inflation, education, and health that have been or will soon be remedied.

Carrie: consistent too, …

Aj: i am finished, you know what, after watching it, SONA 2023 is really relevant especially to us students who are not
really fond of knowing different branches and happenings in the economy of our country, in the SONA he ellaborated
those things that are really making people question his quality as a president, as much as there are people that supports
him, there are also people who doesn’t like how he manage the sector of the government of the Philippines, so SONA
made a way to clear his name and approve what projects and future projects they accomplished already ever since last
year. In his SONA, he mentioned a lot of casualties that our country has faced, one of these things is inflation, I saw a lot
of people especially on social media on how he was degraded as he promised a really low price for rice but things didn’t
come out as expected given but he said that the inflation rate was inflation rate is moving in the right direction. From 8.7
percent in January, our inflation has continued to ease up in all regions, settling now at 5.4 percent for June. What this
means is that in spite of all the difficulties, we are transforming the economy. We are stabilizing the prices of all critical
commodities, he also added that all of the matters of the economy, there are many things over which they have no
control. But over those where they do have control, they are doing everything they can. The State of the Nation Address
or SONA is delivered by the President of the Philippines every year. In it, the Chief Executive reports on the state of the
country, unveils the government's agenda for the coming year, and may also propose to Congress certain legislative
measures. The SONA, which is often broadcast, serves as a means to inform the nation about its present economic,
political, and social condition. It is also a vehicle for the president to summarize the accomplishments and plans of their
program of government both for a particular year and until the end of their term of office.

*while we all are talking, gian showed up

Gian: unique too! As I tackled about SONA 2022, last year, i mentioned -K to 12 -- before K to 12 program has been
reviewed. "All inputs are now being considered," also ."As for the horror stories that we have heard about the poor
quality of education materials and supplies, this must end," but as I tackled education system last July, DepEd’s K-10
Matatag curriculum was launched in late May focuses on relevant curriculum reforms, provision of education facilities
and services, learner’s welfare, and creation of support programs for [Link] President stated that the
administration is bolstering the country’s school workforce, with 90% of the newly created teaching positions filled, and
more administrative personnel hired to relieve teachers of some of their workload.
