A Year's Harvest: 2 Thumbs Up for Pnoy!

       Through the years of the different administrations of the Republic of the Philippines, many programs were conducted, many laws were established, and many changes were made. In short, there is progress. Every year, presidents from different countries addresses their people with their accomplishments. In the Philippines, the SONA of the president is given more attention. Schools assign their students to make a self study about it. This year, it is the second time of the new president to delivers his words.
       As a student and a Filipino citizen, I can say that the president did well this year. I really appreciate his work because compared to our work as children and students, his work is absolutely more difficult. If you can just imagine how 1 gut can face the problem of about 100 million people. 
       The administration did great! There are big improvements when its comes to the Economy, Tourism, Agriculture, Education, Environment, Crime and most of all, the Government. Many programs are also established like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program which give benefits and services to indigent Filipino families. Certain improvements were also done with the health programs and jobs/ services. In there, they implemented benefits which gave access to PhilHealth 23 million more Filipinos. The unemployment rate also decreased causing the increase for sure of the employment rate. For our energy sector, the allocated more than 1 billion pesos to light up 1,500 sitios. The terrifying fight against ARMM and Mindanao was also stopped since peace was made. Projects were also made for the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management. Ongoing projects were also established for the government workers' assurance, improved tax collection, doing business in the Philippines and many more. 
       At the last part of the President's SONA, he mentioned " With every step on the straight and righteous path, we plant the seeds of change." All he mean is that Filipinos are moving forward. 
       This year's State of the Nation Address is the first one that I have studied well since birth. I found out that there is a good fruit in every sacrifice. Two thumbs up for Pnoy!!!
