The State of the Nation Address or SONA is an annual event in the Republic of the Philippines in which the President reports on the status of the nation, normally to he resumption of a joint session of the congress. The first SONA of Pres. Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino, the fifteenth president of the Philippines , happened in the 26th of July 2010 at the Session Hall, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon Cityand the second one happened in the 25th of July 2011 at the same place.
Some of what PNOY talked about are: wang-wang, over-importing rice and PhilHealth. The first topic of PNOY was the wang-wang. This wang-wang case begun last year and this gesture has become the symbol of change, not just in our streets but even in our collective attitude. But some are hard-headed and instead of behaving like public servants, they acted like kings. They have no right to do this. The next topic was over-importing rice. There are still people who are being left behind. What do we do with them?First we identified the poorest of the poor and invested them because people are our greatest resource. And the other topic was PhilHealth . With a compliance rate of 92% millions of mothers are already getting check-ups at public centers, millions of babies are being vaccinated against common diseases and millions of school-aged children are now attending classes.
We have fought against the wang-wang and our efforts have yielded results. We are giving those poor families a chance to improve their lives, because their progress will be the country's progress. 5.2 million Filipino families who benefit PhilHealth are those who really need it. We do hope, that all of these things and our efforts would result. and unity of Filipino citizens is a must.
