I had no choice but to listen to SONA...

dear LK, I have no means to listen to that SONA,we have black out since 10am and only came by 5pm. We are having this problem for 3 days already since Saturday morning,and it really annoys me. Well,i guess i have to checked the net for the address and listen a bit of it. Wish it brightens my day good evening now dear brother

I think better to listen being part of Filipino, we must know whatever message he convey for us, although we know some are only reporting and promising but we are part of his government, whether or not we need to take it. Now what we are have is our comment and dis-agreement with his SONA and observe it..

i listened very well to the report of the president. it's not a must hear for us filipinos and even for us government employees but i did. i listened carefully because i want to see know pnoy will promise once for to the people. i cannot forget pnoy told to give better living for the police and other members of the fire and the jail management and i am nothing against it. but i am still disappointed that nothing has mentioned about the other forces of the government, for their better living. i wanted to hear about pnoy talking about something the employees, especially the lower in rank that they have something to hold, that in the near future, we will be walking and talking to people with head raised. that we can tell the whole world without shame that we are public servants, state workers, even if we hold the lowest rank of the bureaucracy. higher oil prices, fares, basic commodities, rent, electricity, everything is rising, but the employees salary is left behind, which makes living very difficult to handle these days. i am sure you know, that in the states, as i heard it from a niece, government workers receive better salaries than employees in the private sectors.

I did not have a bit of excitement to watch the SONA. I don't know why. I don't really like GMA but every time she will deliver her SONA I would listen. Actually I just wanted to see her attire and her hairdo and how she carries herself. (I really am a woman who loves fashion_) With P-Noy I found not much excitement. He is not a good speaker actually. The way he delivers speech does not sound as good as other statesmen. Should I say, he sounds boring to me? Honestly, I don't like the way he delivers speech. It is just like listening to ERAP. More talkings but not much achievements! I also hate hearing criticisms on SONA. While I don't like GMA and I hate all the corruptions under her regime. I don't think criticizing the former President in the SONA is proper. So to avoid getting disappointed or irritated I better not listen to him at all. I don't think his report will make a big difference in my life. I have not even heard any news about the contents of his SONA actually. Maybe later when I watch the news I can hear some feedback. But honestly I don't really give time when it comes to listening to Noynoy's speech. He sounds PeNoy and not P-noy when he does. He is the exact opposite of his Dad. The late Ninoy Aquino is a very good good speaker. I have listened to some of his speeches many times but every time I do, he never fails to magnetize me. When he start talking I'd really put down anything to sit down and listen. Kris Aquino has this same kind of eloquence. It is just that her moral reputation turns me off. Oh well, I'm getting too deep and already out of context. Sorry...

hi! I did not watch the sona.. since Monday is my off day, I used the time to check with my dermatologist. Then we went to our relatives since we can go there very few times only. None of us is interested with sona anyway. I'm not a political person, but for me, our president is just a good speaker. That's all. His looks really make me mad, the way he smiles like he is a sarcastic man.. I don't know if you guys noticed this or it's just me but that's what I think about him. Anyways, happy day!

hello lk, I never cared nor listened to anyone SONA bad me I am too busy to pay attention besides is there any changes? happy mylotting

Hi! I wanted to listen to the SONA but I was distracted with a lot of things this afternoon and I did not know what time the SONA was aired. I had the means to watch it because even though I was at work, there's a television in the other department. I could have watched in via live streaming in the internet but the internet connection at the office was so slow....... But as far as what I can see today, I cannot feel any changes since Noynoy became the president. And I am really surprised because a lot of Filipino still believes the president as I see the polls in yahoo all in favor of Noynoy. And I thought, maybe I'm being too pessimistic and too critical of the new administration? But no, whenever I think how he chose his cabinet members and other appointed positions, my doubt on him escalates. Whenever I read news about the Luisita hacienda, the more I disbelieve the president. It just seems that whatever he says is contrary to what he is doing and what is happening. Anyway, just like one response here said, we can't do nothing but support the administration until his term ends. Cheers.

I had no choice too but to listen to the SONA, the kids were dismissed early today so they would listen to SONA but the teacher would ask them questions or maybe give a quiz about it tomorrow, my 9 year old daughter already keeps asking me a lot of questions especially because it was delivered in formal Tagalog or Pilipino for the first time ( previous SONAs were all in English and formal Pilipino is different from everyday conversation) In a way I think every Filipino should watch the SONA no mater how ....to know how the executive views it's achievements and we compare it with our real state based on our personal perception, I would not want to be caught in a conversation as too it's contents and not be able to share my view, I just love to share what I think especially about Philippine politics

I never got the chance to hear Pnoy's SONA. I am at work and really had no clue on what he has to say about his accomplishments. I'm not really a fan of listening to such speeches as I only do when I need to produce a reaction paper regarding that. I feel that SONA is only one of those venues for political interest, and being very uncaring about politics as I am, I really don't look forward to such events. So what do I feel about it. Nothing really, I need to see concrete actions and not words. Those reports are part of the national interest, but I am more interested in getting the feeling that my taxes are well spent and getting to see that the quality of life of every Filipino are being alleviated.
