July 28, 2008, another historic event for the Pilipino people as President Gloria Arroyo delivers her 8th State of the Nation Address (SONA). Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the President will center on subsidies, electricity, food production and infrastructure, specifically “to what extent these have been achieved.”
The President’s Ten-Point Agenda are as follows:
1. The creation of six million jobs in six years via more opportunities given to entrepreneurs, tripling of the amount of loans for lending to small and medium enterprises, and the development of one to two million hectares of land for agricultural business;
2. The construction of new buildings, classrooms, provision of desks and chairs and books for students and scholarships to poor families;
3. The balancing of the budget;
4. The “decentralization” of progress around the nation through the use of transportation networks like the roll-on, roll-off and the digital infrastructure;
5. The provision of electricity and water supply to barangays nationwide;
6. The decongestion of Metro Manila by forming new cores of government and housing centers in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao;
7. The development of Clark and Subic as the best international service and logistic centers in the region;
8. The automation of the electoral process;
9. A just end to the peace process; and
10. A fair closure to the divisiveness among the Edsa 1, 2 and 3 forces.
I have also included the highlights of PGMA’s past SONAs
2001 ‘Bangkang Papel’ (Paper Boats)
“Kamakailan, may sumulat sa aking tatlong batang taga-Payatas, sina Jayson, Jomar at Erwin. Ginawa nilang paper boats ang liham at pinalutang sa Pasig River patungo sa Malacañang.”
2002 Strong Republic
“My working agenda for the coming year will focus on creating and improving job opportunities. Citizens with rewarding jobs paying decent wages constitute not just a stone in the edifice but the very foundation of a ‘Strong Republic.’“
2003 Post Oakwood Mutiny
“Just as I will do everything to make sure that the future will be kind to Mikaela (granddaughter) and her generation, so must we all strive to turn our fears into a resolve to do right not just by ourselves, but by our children and grandchildren.”
2004 ‘Mamamayan Muna’/ Release of truck driver Angelo dela Cruz in Iraq
” Pinapangako ko ang isang bagong direksyon: MAMAMAYAN MUNA. Ang taong bayan ang pinakamalaki nating yaman. Ngunit madalas, kaunti lang ang atensyon na binigigay sa kanilang pag-unlad. ‘Di tuloy matawid ang agwat ng mayaman at mahirap. ‘Di tuloy mapa-abot sa lahat ang biyaya ng demokrasya.”
2005 Two Republics / Post ‘Hello Garci’ controversy
“Ours is a country divided; the story of our nation is a tale of two Philippines; almost, as it were, two countries under the same name.
One is the Philippines whose economy, after long years of cumulative national endeavor, is now poised for take off. The other is the Philippines whose political system, after equally long years of degeneration, has become a hindrance to progress.
2006 Strong Republic/ Post Lebanon crisis
“For those who want to pick up old fights, we’re game but what a waste of time. Why not join hands instead? Join hands in the biggest challenge of all, where we all win or we all lose: the battle for the survival and progress of our one and only country.”
2007 Post Elections
“They say the campaign for the next election started on May 15, the day after the last. Fine.
I stand in the way of no one’s ambition. I only ask that no one stand in the way of the people’s well being and the nation’s progress.”
