Third SONA of PNoy

     Almost three years in reign after he was elected as the president of the Republic of the Philippines. President Benigno Aquino III delivered his third State Of the Nation Address at the Batasang Pambansa on July 23, 2012.
     As a student I am aware of what is happening around us especially on my own country. I watched the headlines of the SONA of PNoy. With these highlights and salient points of the SONA. I would like to give my own opinion. One of the issues he talked about is the free education. 4.57 million student who could not go to school before due to poverty will now be able to study. State Universities and Colleges will get a 43.61% budget increase in 2013. These highlights are very important to me as a student. But as a graduating student in secondary fourth year. Shall it really be increased in budget by next year? PNoy also talked about health. Now, 85% of Filipinos are Philhealth members. The government are also expanding health services. They also expanded their coverage to cancer and leukemia patients. This will help the Filipinos more because cancer and leukemia are severe diseases. Also severe on the money needed for medication. He also talked about security. AFP Modernization, No more Cash Advances allowed in the government agencies and territorial dispute with China particularly in the West Philippine Sea.
     "Filipinos made change possible; Change comes from the citizenry." PNoy cited. I believe on this quote because the change starts form us and we will gain the price if we will do it as one.
