    [QUOTE=omar50071;3109875]Fed with illusions of a ‘strong republic’
    In her 2002 Sona, President Macapagal-Arroyo envisioned the creation of a “strong republic” independent from class and sectoral interests and supported by robust institutions and bureaucracy that could execute good policies and deliver essential services. She said that this vision would be the centerpiece of her administration’s efforts to care for the Filipino people and their future and to uproot poverty.
    This is just another wishful thinking if , IF we take it literally bro .

    Today, six years later, we have come to realize that we have been fed with illusions. We are actually living in a “weak republic.” The economy is weak, unable to withstand the onslaught of a food crisis and high prices of fuel. The World Bank has rated our country as the most corrupt in East Asia, which means that our people and bureaucracy are morally bankrupt. It is evident that the moral fiber of our society has considerably weakened.
    I hope that she has basis that what is being a WEAK REPUBLIC if the factor are WEAK ECONOMY , FOOD CRISIS and HIGH PRICES of FUEL . Is this really what we are not used to be 6 years ago ? There are facors to consider that blaming her is the solution to the problem , mas naa pa cguroy right siya mo BLAME nato why such conditions we have are killing us minus the ECONOMY and FUEL PRICES . It also sounds so depressing to be called the MOST corrupt , but then , understand also that what composes EAST ASIA . Its not the continent but a portion of the continent so the MOST word should be discounted .


    Government lacks transparency and accountability. Except for a few, our institutions, instead of being empowered to do good for the country, are losing their capacity to render efficient services. More people are suffering from hunger and poverty while the government is, appallingly enough, trying to alleviate their plight through doles and subsidies. More people are becoming unemployed and underemployed.
    Whose interests are the moneyed class serving? Whose interests are the politicians serving? Whose political survival is being served by these so-called class and sectoral interests?
    True, a leader should provide direction and a goal for the future of her people and country. Unfortunately, our country has degenerated into a soft state during the past six years. If we are not careful, pretty soon we would be living in a failed state.
    If this is the case we would want to instill in every Filipino , bisan leaders of great nations i combined pa , it would probably even worsten .

    Mga pro-GMA, pagmata namo oi, ayaw mo pa shot sa taro! hahahaha.....
    It is hard to align in that mentality because someone like the opinion of MARIA LUISA INSIONG of 11 President Avenue, Parañaque City justifies that she is right and the PRO GMA's nanga SHOT sa TARO .

    Default ARROYO's SONA speech transcript (reaction)

    My fellow Filipinos,... I am a failure. I promised a lot in last year's State of the Nation Address that went totally to Malacañang's overpriced trashcans. I thought letting the Peso value go boosting up in such a short span of time would be the pinnacle of my rotting career as your president. But alas, due to lust for money, my skills and wit as an economist, once my only weapon against my fellow presidential candidates FPJ and Erap, has waned like the "bankang papel" parody that never made it to box office. Even my trusted advisers admit to this. It's a good thing, though, that there are only a few economists in this country- this horrible miscalculation had never made it to newspaper headlines. Good thing Congress is no haven for economists, either, so it may not be necessary to explain it here now.
    Indeed, I am a failure, but it is true that it does not worry me just as how it seems it does not worry much of this country. There will be some who would complain, raise their voice, but would act not that much to go against the waves. Such is the nature of the Filipino- much to the benefit of those in control, of course.
    What is the state of our nation? To put it in layman's terms- The Philippines today is like a patient diagnosed with the last stages of cancer and resulting complications and now is spending it's last days in a poor provincial hospital. I, the doctor, would say she has a 50/50 chance for survival, but the machines that operate most of her internals are just ways to cheat death. I promise those concerned, though, that there is still hope. "May pag-asa pa." People are witness to a big economic crisis today, though I gladly report that most of our kababayan still believe that we are in control, just as how much they believe those tax-funded TV and printed ads saying the government is doing a great job these days. The supply of rice will never go up as real estate magnates have already ruled over agricultural lands. The prices of gasoline will never cease to go up as we cannot anymore control it- though we actually can by careful re-evaluation and forced manipulation of tax policies and deregulation to benefit the masses- only that we won't as we fear the oil cartel people would cancel support on 2010. It would be like signing our own resignation, to which my husband, Mr. Arroyo, and the rest of the Macapagal-Arroyo clan would not be so pleased. Same goes to the World Bank.
    We could at least tell the big oil companies to temporarily lower the prices temporarily before a big event that will give me good feedback, like... this State of the Nation Address. The people need signs of improvement in these trying times. And they will take a bite at it just like how the cancer patient would clamour for morphine for temporary relief.
    My government will continue to be PRO-POOR (applause from the audience)..., though, as this political propaganda had worked since President Aguinaldo learned the term "politics". We learn so much from the cigarette industry- say "Cigarette Smoking is dangerous to your health." but continue selling it anyway. WE ARE PRO-POOR. We sympathize with those below the poverty line, so we give them the basic needs, at the most. We shake hands with them, hug them while brewing in mind a good government TV commercial or printed ad. We can't provide them means to improve their lives- free education, for instance. We can't even put more of the annual budget to education. We don't want more smarter and more intelligent people protesting in the streets or coming up with bright ideas that would threaten corruption as our way of life. How could we promise a bright future without the need for clarification (or making it possible, even) it if we do so? The internet and the texting industry had already done it's damage- the poor isn't happy with a simple "poso" on a street corner anymore- in the more developed areas like Manila's slums, though my advisers say it's still a big hit in the far province

    with or without the SONA, did any president do this for Cebu.

    Sun.Star Cebu - GMA: Speed up bridge project

    this lady president actually implemented more in terms of infrastructure and changed the system and efficiency of government gencies, probably more than the past 2 or 3 presidents combined and that is a fact.
