‘SONA mirrors Arroyo’s denial of grave crisis’
A socio-political analyst has described President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s 8th State of the Nation Address (SONA) as a “denial” of the gravity of the current national crisis.
“It’s [SONA] a mirror of the denial of GMA of the gravity and seriousness of the national crisis,” Prof. Randolph David of the UP Sociology Department told ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) Monday after listening to the SONA.
David said Arroyo’s examples of a few Filipinos who were earning more under her administration showed that she does not understand the severity of poverty. “She praised the higher income of the jeepney driver, the welder, the butanding watcher. Is that the whole country?.”
He said a SONA should tell the people “where we are, why we’re here and what are the solutions” to the country’s problems.” But in Arroyo’s SONA, he noted that she blamed external factors such as high oil prices for the crisis.
David said Arroyo’s SONA thus does not clearly define what Congress’ legislative agenda should be since she did not give a clear analysis of the real causes of the national crisis.
He said the people know whether Arroyo is telling the true state of the nation, pointing out the the recent surveys of Social Weather Stations and Pulse Asia.
Pulse Asia last week said an early July 2008 survey only 13% of the people thought Arroyo’s previous SONA’s were truthful, while SWS said a survey in June showed the public’s net satisfaction rating of the Arroyo government’s overall performance hit a record low of minus 21.
wapen ne can you trust a liar
ginagawa nyang uto-uto ang mga tao
tabalu kang gloria ot makanyan ta sana ene mangak ng mangaku ene man kasi tutuparan
True, true..no one trusts Gloria and her mole anymore. All that stuff she said is b. o. g. u. s. Plainly. But some of it though is true. at least. but oftentimes she sugarcoats the truth.
NO! I take it all back! after reading Rodel Tiempo’s comment I TAKE IT ALL BACK! EVERYTHING I SAID! If only we can learn to believe what she says. politics is like showbiz really. people particularly the media make up shit about you. then everyone reads about it and believe it. we’ve never even been in arroyo’s shoes. though this is a free country we still have to find out what it feels like before criticizing gloria. please lang. if we dont work together then the philippines will be sure to see its downfall. so we should stop complaining and start taking action. to the 99.9% of the philippine population who don’t believe gloria, then fine, i respect you guys. but instead why dont we work hand in hand to make this country a better place?
arroyo is hopelessly misunderstood!
Una sa lahat, katawa-tawa na para sakin na sa tuwing may masamang nangyayari, si Gloria ang may kasalanan. This is a fact. Kausap ko yung ate ko about the treatment of Filipinos to foreigners, and the treatment of foreigners to OFWs or even simply to the visiting Filipinos. “Magalang ang mga Pilipino, pero hindi naman sila ginagalang. Bakit kaya ganun?†Tapos sabay sabi ng ate ko, “Si Gloria kasi talaga eh.†And I was like, what the hell? Where’s the logic? Could you prove it? Could you show the direct, or even indirect connections? Im not pro-GMA. but come on Filipinos! This country is ours. Hindi lang si Gloria ang may hawak ng buhay natin. Bakit yung ibang mga Pilipino, sa pagsusumikap, nakakaraos naman? EVALUATE YOURSELVES. DO YOU PAY YOUR TAXES? DO YOU HELP MAINTAIN OUR ENVIRONMENT? DO YOU OBEY RULES? OR ARE YOU JUST A MERE BYSTANDER? IF SO, YOU ARE NOT A QUALIFIED CRITIC.
“If we remove the VAT, business confidence will decline, interest rates will go up, the more the value of the peso will fall, and the more commodity prices will rise”Gloria Arroyo
The 10 key points of Gloria’s Arroyo 2008 SONA address :
1)Highlighted the benefits of the people from the growing collections from VAT.
2)The VAT shores up the nation’s fiscal independence.
3) The VAT funds the infrastructure needs of the country.
4)Take away VAT and we shall put the rug under our present and future progress.
5) Remove VAT,business confidence will decline.
6)Remove VAT,interest rates will go up.
7)Remove VAT,the value of the peso will fall.
8)Remove VAT,the more commodity prices will rise.
9) The VAT allows the government to keep the price subsidy on rice.
10)If we remove the VAT on electricity and oil products,we will lose P80 billion for the poor.
do it na lang.
tulong-tulong na lng kasi andami pang sinasabi hay nku.we must help one another walang mangyayari kung puro si gloria ang sisisihin.oh come on pilipino nga nman ayaw aminin ang kasalanan.each one of us have its own responsibility.CONSERVE po.don’t abuse lahat ng bagay may limitation!
First of all to tell you the truth I don’t really pay attention to the news I find it really depressing but I still have faith in our government and in our country I am a patriot I do feel hurt when we Filipinos put down our own country stating that such crisis is only happening here in our country hence the saying “only in the Philippines†but if you stop and look in terms of globally even the first world countries have political and economic problems, Philippines is not such a bad place to live and raise a family, I mean if we loose our faith in our country and in our government who else do you think would believe in it, the Americans, come on, it all starts internally, second we blame far too much on our president she’s only human she’s not a magician she cant make people to suddenly double their income in a matter of years, you cant assume her to make the Philippines a first world country in a term, this to is our country we too should take responsibility to it, you have to ask yourself are you following the law are you paying your taxes, do you help support Philippine made products, do you help maintain the environment, a person who has no self governance do not have a right to criticize their government.
according to art. 2 and somewhere section it is located, it was the state who choose their representative for the welfare of the nation….then why we are blaming GMA for what are happening in our country? does the state do their part as a citizen in our nation for welfare? some doesn’t admit their errors but other’s errors do…what a stupid actions!
…. ,sAna lng tUparin mO…
amm..
never mine about gloria bcz she can’t help our problems in life.
tama kayo mula ng umupo yan subrang hirap n ng pilipinas dapat jan dinudurog. kaya nga d na ko nagvovote kase wala n akong twala a mg politika

I LOVE ARROYO I WANT YOU TO BE MY WIFE
They are a lot of bad or good critic of your president but still your country suffer a lot. My mum said whoever your President still the people not happy. i think the best solution is to change your system. You copy the style of U.S.A. Look and study the system there.The election is not the same of your style of election. America is a BIG country but the election just only one day and the knows already who the party win. The people not elect Obama or Cain but elect the one who represent the the party. So if he comment wrong the party terminate him EASY..understand now..YOUR People are corrupt that is why your Politicians are corrupt too.Presidential system elected by the people is corrupt system MAGTI-IS KAYO DIYAN…IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM TO FEDERAL SYSTEM OR PARLIAMENTARY model AUSTRALIA
concern ..,.,.,.,.,.***** AUSTRALIA
MALAY NATIN NA SI PRES. ARROYO ANG SIYANG MGIGING DAHILAN UPANG TAYO AY UMANGAT……. SUPORTAHAN NAMAN NATIN SIYA DAHIL GINAGAWA NIYA LAHAT NG KANYANG MAKAKAYA PARA SA IKAUUNLAD NG BANSA.
“ang bawat tao’y pasakop sa pamahalaan, sapagkat walang pamahalaang hindi mula sa Diyos, at ang bawat pamahalaang umiiral ay itinatag ng Diyos”
TAMA NA ANG PAGBATIKOS AT PAMUMULITIKA. MATUTO NAMAN TAYONG SUMUPORTA SA MGA PROGRAMA NG PAMAHALAAN. ANG KAUNLARAN NG BAYAN AY DAPAT MAGMULA SA ATING SARILI AT HINDI NATIN DAPAT IASA SA MGA NAMUMUNO.
hi!
para sa akoa ang sona sa isang president ay maganda pero di lahat sa mga sinasabi nya ay tutuo like for instance ang road from tagbilaran to ubay sa natatandaan natin sinabi nya ay tapos na lahat nakasimento na,ang tutuo nyan ay hindi pa yon ang isa sa mga promise nya sa mga taga boholano kung makikita natin ay hindi lahat ay nag kaka tutuo sana naman maging matigas na tayo ngayon sana sakyan na natin lahat ang mga di magandang mga nangyayari sa ating bayan natin ma politiko man o kahit ano para mabuhay lang tayo sorry sa lahat ng pinoy
i believed lahat tayo ay nag wish na sana maganda at maayos ang ating pamumuhay sa araw araw pero sa nakikita ko ay di maganda talaga ang isang pinuno ng bayan kung sarili lang ang inaatupag
Matthew 5:37
Simply let your ”Yes” be ”Yes” and your ”No” be ”No”; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
Kaya kung sino man ang magsalita ay dapat mapakita din nya sa gawa….
If the ”word” is yes and the ”action” is no…. this is what the Bible says comes from the evil one..
hindi naman po sarili lang ang inaatupag ng pangulo siya lang po talaga ang masisita ng mga tao pero i’m sure bilang pangulo hangad naman po niya ang kabuthan ng bayan at nating mamamayan.
suportahan nlng kaya ninyo si Arroyo.. gawin nyo kun ano dapat para sa ikakaunlad na bayan. hindi puro batikos gaya ni chiz, eh wla namn nagawa na maganda being a senador.. isipin nyo nga kung ano maganda nagawa nya or meron bang isang member sa pulitika na sinangayunan nya? nkikisawsaw lng yan sa issue at mag comment ng negatibo para mapansin.. given na yan na bright sya oi..
ang tanong? SINO BA TALAGA GUSTO NYO MAGING PRESIDENTE? im sure kahit sino ang uupo dya, dami pa rin batikos kasi nga hindi po LAHAT AY IISA ANG GUSTO, KANYA-KANYA.. sana tanggapin ng buong puso kung sino ang uupo at suportahan.. ALAM NYO BA ANG MINDANAO, HINDI NAGHIHIRAP… bakit ko nasabi, kasi katulong namin na pinakamahirap na nga eh, may cellphone at hindi nauubusan ng load..
No one is perfect…instead of judging,opposing…why help! Change will happened if we observe or even change our selves first for good.
Dont blame it to our president..all sins, crimes, problems is due to our individual sins, not her.
animo guys!
OMG!!!!!! lahat atyo may responsibilidad sa ating bayan… yang mga nah-iingay sa kalye sila perfect sample ng mga taong tamad… hindi po lahat ng bagay ay nakukuha sa ingay… hindi po lahat pwede isobo ng goberno… bakit hindi nalng natin tulongan sa ang suportahn ang goberno…m not a pro-GMA, pero try to visit sa mga provinces mkikita nyo ang kanyang mga proyekto… to be honest gloria hindi ganyan kabillis ang mkikita ang progresso ng bansa sa termino ni GMA pero at least meron mkikita compare to the previous presidents… as in wala ka talagang makikita…. take a look sa mga nagawa na positive also… instead of critizicing lets help nalng…. lets unite then everything will be fine then..
bakit ganito ang nangyayari sa ating bansa???
Have we ever asked ourselves — What good have I done for the country? What is my individual contribution?
Most of us have been around since the Marcos regime and we really never had one good president that met all our expectations, let alone, alleviated this godforsaken country from poverty and decline.
Extremists, among others do nothing but find fault in the government. What good have they done? There are a lot of other politicians wasting the people’s tax money on time consuming blabber just to show that their co-politicians are nonetheless as worst and corrupt as them. There are a lot of bright politicians who get blinded by their own idealism, but have they really helped fix the country — politically, economically, socially, morally?
We are in a very young democracy and it’s still a long hard road to even match that of the U.S. What we need to eliminate is the “greed” in government, not just in the presidency. Nevertheless, we need to check on our own greedy ways — we take our chances in lottery, we take risks in working abroad, when we’re driving, we put one on other drivers on the road, we don’t give way to pedestrians, we always find ways to circumvent procedure, rules and regulations, we always want our convenience but we never really had the earnest desire to work for it.
It’s a pity a lot of us cast stones upon others without looking at our own faults.
hay nako bakit pa siya mag so-sona kung wala na siya sa 2010
It is not that all of Arroyo’s works are bad and corrupt! In fact, she has helped a lot of Filipinos on other ways. The thing is just that she cannot prove to us that she is good and helpful because we Filipinos does not help her in improving the country. She also needs a lot of help from her followers, and because that it is almost the end of her term, can’t we just give her the chance to do good deeds for our country? If we all help with her, I am sure that Philippines will be better than any of the countries.
If we believe in ourselves and to Our Excellency, President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo, we can really overcome the burdens and the circumstances that is faced by all Filipinos.
I do hope that every one of us ay may maitulong sa ating bansa. anumang comments o reklamo na hindi makaktulong asa ating pag-unlad ay wag na po nating ipangalandakan.
hindi tayo makakatulong sa ating bansa kung hindi natin unahing tulongan ang ating mga sarili. reklamo ka ng reklamo pero ang tanong, nakakatulong ka ba para maresolve ang problema ng ating bayan o ang iyong mismong problema. lawakan po natin ang ating mga isipan at wag po tayong manghusga ng kapwa dahil wala po tayong karapatang manghusga. isipin natin na ang problema ay nagsisismula sa ating sarili.
masasabing isang dakilang tanga ang taong hindi marunong tumingin sa magandang bahagi na nagawa ng iba sa atin. kung ang nakikita lang natin ay puro kamalian at kasamaan ng kapwa, nangangahulogan lamang ito na hindi rin tayo mabuti. tandaan lang po natin na masama ang umasang susubuan ka pa ng ibang tao para mabusog ka. hwag po tayong magpakatamad at magpakatanga sa ating sarili. maging mabuti na lang tayong tao at mamamayan ng ating bansa. have faith in GOD, HE knows everything good for us.
Do not just tell to yourselves that Arroyo is a dumb lady! She is a perfect president for our country, and she has done a lot of things. Please do not just sit there and help our President in everything- EVEN JUST ON YOUR LITTLE WAY.
kailangan ko ng full text ng sona 2009 kailan ko makukuha iyon? assignment ko kasi
hndi nman ntin maccc c pgma eh… andami’daming tao sa pilipinas at hndi nia kya na lhat eun sustentuhan at matulungan…. ang problema kc nsa tao, hndi nla nkikita ang mga nagagawa nea… nkikita lng nla ang mga hndi nia ngagawa….
Seriously?
Why don’t people start working well for themselves and stop criticizing those who try hard?
Being a president of a country, where people think that the only way to set things right is through ‘the streets’, does not sound really easy. We cannot blame everything to Gloria Arroyo and the government because somewhere along the line, we are contributory to the problems our country.
Also, there is a clear difference with regard to a mob rule, democracy and freedom.
And by going to the streets, people are trying to do a mob rule not democracy.
I am an ex-pat living in the beautiful country of the Philippines for 12 years. I was also stationed here at Clark AB during the Marcos years from 1974-1976. I have seen the country grow, but also the corruption grow. Marcos and Erap would be very happy. You do this to yourselves. Why? Greed, corruption, illiterate? You never think of the things you could do to help your own country. Point out cheats, point of tax dodgers, file complaints. To many times I see people just hunch their shoulders and say, “What can we do about it?”, and you just let the situation stay the same. Then you try to blame your faults on your President., or your congressmen and women, or your senators. From a lot of ex-pats who live in your country, we can all see the good things GMA has done for your country. Then you have the complainers, whose only knowledge comes from the biased TV news stations and newspapers. Bending things to what they want you to here and see. To many forget that when the charges were brought against Erap, what did he do???? He ran away from the Presidency ! No one pushed him into the boat that carried him away !! That in itself looks GUILTY. Its a picture that speaks for itself ! Who will replace GMA in 2010?? I hope that the people of the Philippines will not be swayed just because the front runners hand out money for your votes. Thats how its done here…. Right? Whatever happens… wether you re-elect Erap again, or join the people just so you can get a little money in your hand, the results will be on you, the people. If its another corrupt person,,, the world will loose confidence in the Philippines, the Peso exchange rate will further be devalued, and your right back where you were 9 years ago. Do you want your president to pay your bills, buy your food, get you a jeepney or a tricycle? How can anyone make a statement that she hasnt done anything for you… personally. Thats rediculous! Its not about you, its about whats best for your country.
this country will have no future if people will depend everything on the president. the president is just the executive officer of this country. you won’t expect her to run around the country shoving spoons in your throats or planting sweet potatoes for you. gma has done the best she can to for this country.
i have lost hope for this government but i still believe in the people. stop blaming gloria kung wala kayong trabaho, nasa pagsisikap nalang yan ng tao,
Marami na ang naging presidente ng pilipinas ngunit tignan natin ang nangyayari hindi pa rin makaahon ang pilipinas sa kahirapan. Lagi na lang ba nating isisisi sa iba , Puro na lang ba panghuhusga ang gagawin natin. Tayo mismo ang maghanap ng paraan para umasenso wag natin iasa sa iba ang ating sarili dahil ayo mismo ang makakatulong sa ating sarili. Sana po magisip tayo ng mabuti hindi yung puro na lang pagsita sa iba yung napapansin natin at hindi yung ating sarili.
i suggest to all people who contradict or hndi ninyo gusto ang SONA ne gloria..stop doing rally all you have to do is to support our president. ung mga rally ninyo ay dagdag lng yan sa gulo nang bansa. our country need peace and understand by the people and also cooperation
“Some suffering is caused by the inheritance of mortality originating from Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God, which includes vulnerability to illness and disease. Also, Satan pervades the earth, causing pain and suffering. Many believe that suffering is God’s design to test, teach, or strengthen belief in Him; the greater the suffering of innocent believers, the greater will be their reward after life.” The reason why I choose to publish these thought, basically in this point of time we are in the book of revealation in which it is the last book of the bible. . .I want to tell it to the whole world that the coming of Jesus is very near and these prophecy will be fulfill until He came back on earth..All of these things happen on earth is part of God’s will…SO DILI NATA MATINGALA SA MGA PANGHITABU KARON. . . ESP SA PANG’GOBERNO!
hello Filipino
magtulungan po tayo, wala po dapat tayong sisihin, di po kasalanan ng presidente kong di ka nakakain ng maayos, sisihin mo po ang saraili mo kasi siguro TAMAD KA LANG, wala pong nagugutom kong marunong ka gumawa ng paraan at mahal mo ang sarili mo, parati kasi hindi maganda ang isip mo at magulo kasi ang utak mo kaya di kana makapag isip ng tama at nasa maayos.. Magtiwala ka sa Diyos at gumawa ka ng paraan kong pano ka mabuhay ng marangal.. wag mo iasa ang sarili mo sa iba, wag ka maniwala sa tsismis magtiwala ka sa Diyos dahil sya ang may likha. Wag ka magpagamit sa iba, lalo na sa mga may interest sa politika dahil iisa lang yun. Ilan na po Presidente and dumaan pero na obserbahan ko lang lahat naman nirarali ninyo, SINO PO BA TALAGA ANG GUSTO NINYO? kahit sino nakaupo na presidente kong ganun parin takbo ng utak mo e wala rin yan, mamatay ka nalang ganun parin ang nasa isip mo kaya pano ka mabubuhay ng marangal nun lagi ka lang may galit sa puso mo. maniwala ka sa Diyos at gumawa ka ng tama at magulat ka nalang gaganda ang buhay mo.. lagi ka manalangin sa Diyos para ikay bibigyan. gumawa ka ng tama para ikay tutulungan ng may kapal..
MAGTULUNGAN PO TAYO AT WALANG SISIHAN NANG BUHAY NATIN AY GAGAAN.
GUMAWA KA NANG TAMA AT MAGDASAL SA MAYKAPAL.
“KUNG MAHAL MO ANG DIYOS MAHALIN MO ANG KAPWA MO, DAHIL PAGSINABI MO NA MAHAL MO ANG DIYOS AT DI MO MAHAL ANG KAPWA MO, SINUNGALING KA.”
P.S
in my openion lang po.. mas okay pa nga si Mrs Pres. Aroyo, may increase and sweldo taon taon, kompleto sahod, maynakita kang kalsada ng galing sa mga probensya, kapag may sakit o bagyo may pera agad para pantulong lalo na sa mga mahihirap, mga nakaraan presidente po, ilang months wala sweldo lagi nalang sinasabi kapag ng meeting maghigpit ng sinturon, wala pang increase ang sweldo matapos nalang ang termino, mahal din naman lahat noon. hindi po aayos ang pilipinas kong ikaw mismo di mo maayos sarili mo..
There needs to be electoral reforms in this country. Why do we see rampant tri-media advertisements especially those TV commercials showcasing those so-called presidentiables with their best foot forward, with lousy acting and all? It’s plainly making the people look stupid. These commercials need to stop. They always claim they are for the majority of the impoverished people. Sad as it may seem, this is a country of “star struck” voters. The more you’re exposed to the public, the better your chances. It’s an appeal to the ignorance of the people who they themselves failed to educate. Well, the irony is that most of these people whom they have educate are usually the first ones to bite back, ending up as extremists, taking everything to the streets… try to interview each one of these protesters and I doubt they would have a common inkling of what they’re truly and sincerely fighting for.
I just hope people do cast their votes rationally, because in the end, it might just end up as lip service for these politicians. Collectively, we are root cause of the problems in this country.
If we want to have a better country..start with our ourselves first. The government will not be able to help us. And that’s the reality. Believe in yourself. Dream Big. Aim high. Work Hard. Be Good! Have Faith. And this world will be a better place.
Applause for the working president!!!!
Sana ang susunod napiliin nating pangulo gaya ni GMA
In General she is the best ever that makes our country better
KAYA PLS TOL WAKE UP huwag yung puro dada
where can i get a reaction for the SONA of President Arroyo??? ‘coz its my assignment in ECONOMICS subject.. I need to get a copy or script of President Arroyo’s SONA of 2009. and a reaction for i
=) thx
the sona, if you notice, is not centered on the issues of today. people are more focused on the president’s “PASARINGS” with her oponents and critic-makers. mas pinag uusapan at mas pinagtutuunan ng pansin, i think the president partly used the sona to attack her opponents and pay back on her critic-makers. come’on people.
come’on mrs. president are you not ashame of yourself or even to us..?
i think mahirap maghandle ng bansa noh…. kakastress lalo na pag walang cooperation
hello…
Congratulation to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for the job well done!!!! I really salute the way you run the office….and your statement in your sona really bring drastic effect to your critics!!!!! Only one thing is sure… your critics nothing compare with you…. congratulation and mabuhay po kayo..
hmmm….
Congratzzz!!!!
Ganda ng speech mo kaso may tanong…
Sincere ka ba sa sinabi mo?
I think we should just learn to accept the truth, Pres. Arroyo won’t go down before the end of her term, so we should just learn to have a little faith and believe that things still have a possibility of changing.
..ah… Don’t know what to say… hahaha.. nagkaroon lang naman ako ng time para magkaroon ng reaksyon regarding this matter kasi… we have this bloody requirement on journalism as one of our elective subjects… weh… epal.
NO COMMENT!
Walang mangyayaring maganda sa Pilipinas kung sa bawat may mali, kay Presidente Gloria natin isisisi. Tayo mismo may magagawa. You’re not qualified to critic or even judge our President. Masyado kayong abuso. Kalapastanganan na ang ginagawa ng iba. If you were President Gloria, do you think you can be a strong as her? That despite of all negativities, she remains strong and really trying na mapaunlad at mabago ang dating kalagayan ng ating bansa. Kung talagang concern ang mga kritiko sa bansa or even a simple Filipino, let do something gud without your own interest. Maybe kaya kayo nagagalit sa presidente dahil hindi kayo nakikinabang. Right? Life is wat you make it!! Kasalanan ba ng presidente ang pagiging irresponsible ng mga Filipino? Ang pagiging walang disiplina? Let say, sa trabaho: there’s a mismatch between sa qualified applicants at sa job. Kaya di nya kasalanan kung bakit yong iba wala tarabaho. Ikaw mismo ang gumagawa ng buhay mo. Anyway, let just thank her for being strong. Can’t you just imagine kung gaano kahirap igovern ang mga Filipino?
give chance to other. . .nsa mga tao yan wag kyo mag sisihan !
