President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III Photo taken via WikipediaPresident Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III delivered his second State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the House of Representatives in a joint Senate and House session of Congress in Quezon City, last Monday.
In his 11-page transcript that I've read, President Aquino showcased many of his achievements for his first year in presidency and gave a glimpse about his upcoming plans for the country in front of thousands of attendees. Although Aquino's State of the Nation Address was focused primarily on his success for his first year in office and his future endeavors for the country, president Noynoy also shared his thoughts regarding the "wang-wang" (corrupt/corruption) from the past administration. The president revealed some of his exploits in eradicating corruption in the government which I'll talk about later. Meanwhile, I'll first let you know the country's conditions after president Aquino was in office since last June 2010, of course this is according to him.
First Year Achievements
According to him in his SONA, the Philippines' population rate in hunger has decreased from 20.5% just last March to 15.1% last June. The value of the decreased percentage equals to 1 million Filipino families who can now eat three meals in a day (which is the basic necessity of Juan Dela Cruz).
