Every SONA that I had heard since I was had the chance to understand it is that they are all have the same meaning. It never had the chance to help or even state the real problems our country has since then, we all know what it is.
The State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by President Benigno S. Aquino III on Monday was simple yet full of meaning, according to Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog who was one of the local chief executives (LCEs) invited to witness the event. Mabilog said that the President has stressed on good housekeeping, which means that shortcuts will not be entertained and instead what is legal should be followed from the national government down to local government units (LGUs). “As much as possible to eliminate if not drastically reduce corruption,” he added. With the case of this city, Mabilog emphasized that the LGU has already responded to the call even as the Commission on Audit (COA) during its exit conference has given the city a very good rating.“We totally follow the instructions of our President that’s why you can see that everything is done properly without shortcuts,” he added. The mayor further stated that the city has its own hotline that entertains any feedback from clients regarding its delivery of services. The hotline, he said, has contributed a lot in the efficient provision of services at the City Hall. He added that he is thankful that in surveys conducted, the public has given the city high rating even as he encouraged, especially members of the media to help in promoting the city for investors.
The President addresses the nation in his capacity as Head of State, not only as Head of Government. SONA is an opportunity for the President to take stock of the country’s domestic and foreign situation and to chart a common direction that we should take to enhance our efforts to achieve a better life for all. During his speech, the President talks about government’s achievements of the past year and looks to the future by presenting a programme for the coming year, called the Programme of Action (PoA). The PoA sets out government’s plans to address various key government programmes.
