PNOY's SONA
Later this afternoon, President Noy Aquino will deliver his State of the Nation Address (SONA). Many a number of citizens predict his speech will be most about the previous administration. Sec. Carandang on SONA: " Hindi maiiwasan na mabanggit ang nakaraan. But it won't be all about the past. It will be about the future."
I,without biases,also feel that sometimes Pnoy's government is going overboard in placing all the blame and putting too much emphasis on the wrongdoings of my cabalen. However, I clearly understand as well that bulk of the headaches and worries they encounter here and there were brought about by GMA's regime. So,balance is the key here. Necessary actions should be shouldered by Pnoy and his trusted men to solve the existing problems,minimize finger pointing yet do not neglect to file appropriate measures to meet justice and punish those gulity of corruption.
On a personal note,I know the signification of fanaticism to its letters. I hear persons reprobate any of Ninoy's and Cory's kin and I get easily exasperated.Be it Noy's hair loss,Luisita's endless employees's chaos,Krisy's twisted personality or PNoy's apparent disregard to the real problems of his countrymen. I on the other hand, fly with delight and gratitude when adulation and praises are accorded to them.Citing Pinky's strong advocacy for free kindergarten education to all Filipino children,Krisy's customary contributions to Gawad Kalinga,Habitat for Humanity and Girl Scout of the Philippines,not to mention her payment of hefty sum of money for taxes,or Noy's petty guilty pleasure-music. I uttered once to the detractors,"I-assassinate na lang kaya si Noy?Para wala na akong pinoproblema." That left them dumbfounded.
Going back to the SONA,let me quote a few tweets:

Going back to the SONA,let me quote a few tweets:
- Anton SD:" Can't wait to watch the SONA, we need to move forward, we need a plan of action, and to focus on it.As a nation we have so much potential."
- DBM Sec. Butch Abad: "People don't appreciate how cleaning corruption actually leads to better and right spending. " THIS I LOVE- "Public health budget is up by 53%-Php 40B,we aim to cover 5.2M of the poorest of the poor."
- Abad: "This is a gov't that puts it money where the mouth is. Education budget up by 15% at 237B for 2012."Havvveeeyyyy!!!
- Abad: " The biggest paradigm shift in this administration is the leader himself- he is COMPLETELY HONEST."
- Jimparedes: " If we don't investigate how the past got us in a mess, we will be condemned to repeat it. This is not vengeance. This is JUSTICE."
