bounce Last July 28, 2008 during the 2ndRegular Session of the 14th Congress, one lady declared her SONA (State of the Nation Address) that is something she had to stand for till the end. She is our incumbent president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Getting a country up and running requires years and money resources, including large sums of more from the international community. The basic structure of a country is the same: political, economic, taxation and judicial systems, infrastructure, cultural, educational and medical institutions, and more are one of the issues our president stated. Because these are interconnected, fitting them together into unified, organic whole is a complex undertaking.

She stated in her SONA all the problems our country undergone this year. The roller coaster ride of oil price hikes, high food costs and alarming economic recession as well was a few of those problems our country had today. She said, “The price of food and fuel will likely remain high. Nothing will be easy; the government cannot solve these problems over night. But, we can work to ease the near term pain while investing in long-term solutions”. For me lets just face the reality and we have to move on with our lives to achieve what we want in the future. We have to be self- reliant. Just what she said, we cannot solve those problems. All we have to do is to work hard to attain all the basic needs we had in life.


In relation with Human Resource Management, she said that by year 2010 over P 300 million training partnership with the private sector will qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which will have a projected demand of one million workers. It’s beneficial on our part as an IT/CS student because when we will graduate hopefully by 2010, we can have good job ahead. Likewise she said that there is an increase in SSS benefits for employees. She also mentioned the increased of salary loan and housing loan for the benefit of the employees itself. If these things will happen, we the future employers and employees will achieve our certain goals in life thus improve the way of living.

I really admire the courage she shows during her address. Lots of people want her to take out of her regime because of a reason that she didn’t do her job well as a mother of this country. But then she is eager enough to provide all the answers of all the problem of her countrymen as well.

The statement that I found inspiring was when she said, “To meet the challenge of today, we will feed our people now, not later, and help them get through these hard times. To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we must become more self-reliant, self-sufficient and independent, relying on ourselves more than on the world.” lol!
