Arroyo SONA 2008


It is that time of the year again.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will be delivering her state of the nation address (SONA) on July 28, 2008 at the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City. The President’s SONA is expected to focus on social programs, infrastructures and environment protection.

I remember having watched last year’s SONA, with the President announcing her vision for super regions — North Luzon Agribusiness Quadrangle, the Luzon Urban Beltway, Central Philippines Super Region, Mindanao Super Region, and the Cyber Corridor. The idea is for the government to develop these super regions to attract investors, to expedite development.

Then when the economic “angle” of these super regions improve, domino effect, peso is being expected to go strong, there’ll be more investments, the Philippines will have more money, and everybody would be happy.

But, honestly, I have no idea on what happened a year after, even a second after the 2007 SONA, perhaps the President would also talk about it in her nation address this year. And, I wouldnt be surprise if things didnt turn out as expected. Mainly because a lot of things came up, and everything got mixed up. Cause the past few months proved to be a tough time for our beloved Philippines — so tough that Pinoys could bear the super heat of the sun just to line up for a kilo of Php15-NFA rice, that even rich Pinoys are now riding the MRT — so tough.

It is this that makes the real Pinoy strong.

Laban lang ng laban. Kaya natin to.
