THE SONA OF PRES. AQUINO

President Noynoy Aquino delivered his SONA in Pilipino, clear and direct to the point, for about 40 minutes, punctuated with about 30 applauses.  The majority of those who heard him approved of what he was talking about, but there were a few who just sat "silently", without clapping their hands. I guess they were hit by the biting words of the President.  He enumerated only some of the anomalies of the previous administration under GMA.  But he also hinted at what he has to do to solve the many ills, the cancer of corruption afflicting the fibers of society.  With the establishment of the Truth Commission, hopefully, there will be closure of the unresolved cases of graft and corruption.  He pointed to the Right Way towards Renewal: "ang tuwid na landas tungo sa Pagbabago".  With an 85% trust of the people on the new President, how can the Filipinos endure again the poverty, the rebellion, the drug menace, the illegal and immoral deeds of a few greedy countrymen?  Now is the time for a renewed good governance that will highly uplift the lives of the Filipinos! Ang sabi ni Senator Enrile: "Gusto ko happy ka".  That's right. We all want to be happy with the new government.
