HOPE FOR THE BOSSES

          President Benigno "Noynoy" S. Aquino III delivered his Third State of the Nation Address (SONA) during a joint session to mark the opening of the third regular session of the 15th Congress of the Philippines at the Batasan Pambansa Complex in Quezon City on Monday, July 23, 2012.

          His SONA lasted for about one and a half hour, where he noted the changes that his administration achieved in the past two years and thanking the Filipino people for making it happen. His SONA was interrupted over 100 times with applause.

          As a student, I have seen that Mr. President had gone so far in his 2-and-a half years of administration. I have seen that he is doing his very best in everything he do in order to uplift our country. All the projects he already finished and his plans are mentioned in his SONA. He was particularly proud of the eight positive credit rating actions, all of which came along through his administration. Aquino also mentioned that in the first quarter of 2012, our GDP grew 6.4 percent, much higher than projected, the highest growth in the Southeast Asian region, and second only to China in the whole of Asia. He also took particular mention of the business process outsourcing industry, which contributes around 10 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. He  also said that the improvement of infrastructure is intertwined with the growth of the tourism industry.

          These are just some of the projects he had done for us but we are still hoping and praying that he can do all the things he promised to his bosses. Let us hold hands and work together for the good of our nation.
