Pilipinas Kumusta Na?July 27, 2015What are your expectations in the
sixth SONA of the President?
I expect more on the SONA of the President. First, he will tell
us what he has been achieved in his plans. In fighting the
corruption and reforming governance, the reducing of the poverty
here in our country and growing of the economy. Second, he will say
that there are plans that not yet finish or missteps but still need
to be done. Lastly, e will likely emphasize that it is critical
that this transformation process carries over to the next term.
What are the possible issues that the President will address on
Monday?
The possible issues that President will address are first, his
accomplishment in fighting the corruption and poverty and the gain
in economy. His plans in terms of education like the K to 12. The
underemployed that is the problem here in our country. The problem
in MRT. Highlighted the achievements of the government in
transportation and communications, tax/revenue, labor and wages,
international relations, education, budget and finance, peace,
social welfare, justice, disaster preparedness, national security,
economy, infrastructure, governance and reform.What are the
significant accomplishments of P-Noy for the past 5years based on
the following aspects?
A.Economy- the Philippines has rebounded to become a tiger
economy, much sought after by international investors, an
achievement attributed to prudent fiscal management and good
governance by the Aquino administration.
B.Education- he reported that of 223,615 scholars of the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), are
now employed. Overall, efforts in job generation resulted in
additional 1.65 million Filipinos employed from April 2013 to April
2014,
C. Poverty alleviation- Aquino highlighted the 'Pantawid
Pamilyang Pilipino Program' or 4Ps which now have 4.4 million
beneficiaries from 786,523 in 2010. In 2008, there were 2.9 million
out of school youth in the country. In 2013, only 1.2 million out
of school youth remained.
D. Security Measures- With the lifting by the ICAOof safety
concerns it had previously issued for the Philippines, and the
European Union removing the ban on Philippine Airlines flights, the
tourism sector has also begun to surge, he reported.
Did the Filipino people achieve economic growth based from what
the Pres. Brag about?
Yes, In a 2014 study, the World Bank found improvements in
health and education indicators among beneficiaries.The program has
also taken in more beneficiaries from 337,000 families in 2008 to
4.4 million families or 19 million individuals in 2015.The
country's 4Ps is now the world's fourth largest conditional cash
transfer program based on number of beneficiaries behind India,
Brazil, and Mexico.But as for the program's aim of solving poverty
in the long term, Pernia said the reduction of poverty during the
Aquino administration has not been dramatic.
Was there an improvement on progress in your lives for the past
5years?
Yes, theres an improvement on the progress in the past 5 years.
The Philippines has emerged as one ofthe fastest growing
economiesin the world, impressively rivaling the dizzying growth
rates of fellow Asian countries such as China. Underthe stewardship
of the Aquino administration, the Philippines has presided over an
unprecedented period of macro-economic buoyancy and political
stability, which has, in turn, revived domestic and international
business confidence in the Southeast Asian nation.In a scale of
1-10 with 10 as the highest, what rate will you give Pres. Aquino?
Why?
I will rate President Aquino at 7. As what the he addresses in
the SONA, he has many accomplishment and still need to be done. Hes
just the president or the leader of the country and we are the
members that need to help him whatever he has plans. Nobodys
perfect thats why I only gave him 7. He still need to do more
efforts and finish what his plans to make the Philippines better
and be the best.
