SONA 2008 Funfare

As another State of the Nation Address or SONA is about to be delivered by Moday, July 28, 2008, I can’t help but wonder what the likes of Satur Ocampo and other media starved “activists” who shamelessly use government funds in their attempt to destabilize the current administration and those that came before it. Thank god he took Crispin Biltran earlier. I guess they are now concocting another rally and now enlisting people from the slums of Metro Manila to participate in another “massive” protest… with pay, of course.

My polluted mind still is amazed by how these people operate and how they continue to shamelessly fain innocence in the eyes of they public which they too are plundering. Don’t tell me the money they use to bribe those hungry masses comes from their own pockets or from wealthy benefactors. I’m not, and everyone should not, be so naive to think that. Using government funds to fund rallies and other rebellious propagandas and movements is also a form of corruption, isn’t it? Nail them to the cross too, people!

Anyway, back to the topic of the day–SONA 2008.

Based on past SONA’s, this year will be another, he he, dramatic and flowery. Blame her speech writers for it, though. Besides, a little drama won’t hurt a bit, right? Of course Gwen Garcia could do it better than Gloria. Yeh, I’m now a Gwen fan since I saw her SOPA or State of the Province Address for Cebu.

Well, this year’s topic would deal on the newly crafted National Social Welfare Program, designed to to lessen the impact of inflation of basic commodities and transportation as well. Don’t expect a declaration to scrap the 12% VAT, though, as she is set to explain how it sustains the pro-poor programs of the government.

Expect a lot of booboos from the opposition afterwards and, if the god’s would allow, you should see Teofisto Guingona dying on the streets of Metro Manila. A good ending to a worthless political career.

Arroyo Gov’t is politics without principle
for they want wealth without work
and having pleasure without conscience,
have knowledge without character
and commerce without morality.

i seriously think classes should be suspended during SONA because i think, this is just a tactic of the Malacanang to lessen the people involved in the rallies.

It is the student’s right to hear and see the delivery of the SONA because if not, he/she will have an opinion that is based on other’s opinion.

Being citizens of this country, we are entitled and needed to hear the SONA. We can’t say that we don’t believe whatever PGMA says etc. etc. We need to see it for us to prove later on that her promises are just promises and that she is a perfect example of “ang pangako napapako”.

For these congressmen and congresswomen - and their respective partners. It is nice to know that you have at least “beautiful” clothes to wear during the SONA - which I seriously think is not necessary. However, haven’t you thought that the money you’ve paid for these gowns and barongs - in total - could have been a very big amount donated to the poor people?

The Philippines’ biggest problem is not the President - not the Senate - not the Congressmen. It is the system that makes us all stay to this muddy world and is also pulling us down.

It is the system - the culture - that makes us go down more.

politics exist everywhere - corruption exists everywhere. It is our non-contentment that makes us poorer.

**A nice quote i heard from a Political Science student friend:

“WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT WE DESERVE.”

Woah! just got the chance to see what’s in here… I could not imagine how this post drove traffic and comments to the site. I thought I will just be making another random rambling to fill up the spaces of my nearly abandoned site and here you guys are.

Oh well, let’s just respect different opinions and try to hold one’s horses a bit.
