P.Noy's !st SONA. What's your reaction?

I think he delivered a very detailed status report of the most urgent agendas that needs resolve. The previous ultra-corrupt administration of Congresswoman Arroyo emptied the coffers of the nation dry and it is just proper that PNoy points this out as early as possible because if he did not do it, the Arroyo gang, I mean clan, will exploit the "weakness" to revise history (GMA already started that before she stepped down, using more taxmoney to resuscistate her dirty image) and blame PNoy for the missing money. PNoy made a bullseye on eliminating the red tapes for businesses and making the country more business-friendly and let private sectors build infrastructures as this will mean billions of pesos in income and thousands of new jobs generated. Even though the ever-complaining, every-angry ultra-leftists clamor for change, we cannot do it overnight and give everybody salary raises and benefits without the economy thriving first which of course will only happen if there are more businesses. PNoy also score points when he mentioned more jobs and more help for the medical needs of the poor, and more focus on the Mindanao problem. PNoy cannot enumerate everything in his critics' pick list because if he did then he will need 3-4 hours to address them all. Overall, I think PNoy's SONA is just a taste of what is to come. Indeed, we can start dreaming that our country will rise again.

It was really inspiring that made me feel that I should be more optimistic under his administration. Simple but it has great impact wherein he was been straightforward about his speech at all.

Not even close....I think he's still in the campaign mode. I am so sorry , NO OFFENSE to those sensitive Supporters here What i like to hear are solutions..SOLUTIONS, he could have at least mentioned his platforms again that would have been comforting.but no, criticizes the past administration. I remember Gibo saying similar like that as well, making an even more detailed rhetorics than this one but there aren't much solution there, but at least GIBO knew the problem in detail during the campaign already. this one is a lot worse, he's doing poetry after citing the MWSS and other government agencies in the past administration. I am really SORRY, if i was working, i would be insulted. clearly he didn't cite any concrete solution in the SONA. I am not deaf, i know what i heard he cited problems, but lack solutions.

As always, every SONA is filled with make good promises but non of those will ever prosper, If this is your first time to hear a SONA, this will fill your hearts with expectation of a better future for our country, but looking at the statistics of all Presidential SONA from the past, Its like a Garden of Flower that beautifies the back wall of a political agenda that will prove otherwise non attainable.

Another failure as expected. Sure he made some remarks on the former administrations errors. But, we should move FORWARD. He is concentrating MORE on what happened, not on what's next. Many people would think that is right because in order to move forward, you have to look back. BUT imagine this, what if he finished his term just looking back on the former administration? And the next President will just look back on Noynoy's former administration? On his plans to our economy: Privatizing the 'public' to have more jobs. COOL, right? WRONG! He is selling the Philippines! And who else will buy it but his relatives (A proven Cojuangco move) or the foreigners! Clearly he is a puppet on strings but he doesn't realize it. But he is HONEST. That much I can tell you. HONEST enough to tell people on what he believes. But the problem is he believes on the wrong things.

It was short and simple. I liked that fact that he did it in Tagalog. He shared what he is currently doing under the circumstances. I guess it's too early to tell since he's been in office less than a month. I noticed though that he spent a couple of minutes highlighting the supposed wrong doings of GMA. Was it really necessary?

Of all the SONAs I've heard, this is the most simpliest, sincere, direct to the point and done in our native language. It actually made an impact to everyone, if I may say. I think, the message was able to address not just the elite but also those from lower class.

I really haven't seen it! I have not seen TV for a long time. Our broke down.

I like what he said,but i think he did not discuss the problems of the OFW.but IN GENERAL the speech was straight and also done in our own language i hope the Filipino people understood it clearly, the Problem now is how to chase the culprits, how to solved the problems of the past,All Pinoys must help and cooperate and share in order to help our Poor nation to gain its pedestal from the ruins of the past...Hope is there,I will help and do my share now...nicely done indeed...

he focused more on revealing PGMA's crimes than making promises. i think that's really good.

It was somewhat too good to be true. I know he has a lot of supporters but what will companies gain if they help the Philippines for free, one even said they will even pay the government. I know its business and I think companies will gain more in this public-private partnerships, this might also lead to corruption. I hope its true that his programs will lead to more jobs.

All i can say is that we just have to wait patiently until all of these will come true. i already have responded to a lot of this similar topics. i will just observe now.
