So what can you say about the president’s State Of the Nation Address yesterday?

Or should I say, the State Of the Nation Address Etchos Edition by Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Kalokah noh?

Matutuwa kaya si Barack Obama sa ginawa niya? Wish ko lang ay i-cancel ni Tito Barack ang pakikipag-meeting niya with Ate Glow later this week. Tingnan ko lang kung hindi puputok ang implants niya sa kahihiyan. Hahaha!

Juice ko, katakot-takot na kasinungalingan pala ang SONA niya kahapon. And this is according to some points stated by the ever-lovely and best-dressed Senator Pia Cayetano on her twitter. Like the one with EPIRA and Cheaper Medicines Bill.

Anyway, I was so expecting that PGMA will lie talaga. Ni hindi nga niya binigyan ng pansin ang corruption kasi nga siya din naman ang matatamaan nito. I so agree with Sen. Cayetano's statement. What Gloria did was giving us statistics again. At first, it may seem attractive kasi you’ll see improvements sa graphics na pinakita niya. I applaud her team for that, very convincing ang ginawa niyo te. Parang totoo talaga na may improvement noh?

Her side comments against her critics particularly with Sen. Mar Roxas and former president Joseph Estrada is not something to be proud of. Yes, it drew applause from her ass-kissing audience but that is so lame. It only showed how much of a bitch our president is. Ayan tuloy, pinatulan ka ni Mar. He responded on his twitter. Buti nga sa iyo. Magsabunutan na nga lang kayo, pareho naman kayong manggagamit at etchosera. Wala kayong pinagkaiba. Nanggaling lang kayo sa isang hulmahan ng mga trapo.

Last year’s SONA featured a little boy from Antique who was promised to be given support as victims of typhoon Frank. May nangyari ba sa sitwasyon ng bata? Unfortunately wala. Walang natanggap na anumang tulong ang bata from the government. Another pangako na napako. Diyan talaga magaling si Ate Glow, ang mangako pero napapako. Ipapako niya kaya yung sarili niya? Hahaha!

On her statement that she’ll end her term as president next year, well ginawa na niya yan dati so don’t expect that she’ll keep her words. Bitin nga di ba? She should’ve said she’ll no longer run for president or will not push for that con-ass and matutuloy ang presidential elections next year. Dapat black and white yung statement niya about this. Binitin pa ng pandak so let’s keep our eyes wide open about this issue. She will do anything to remain in power. Anything.

As much as I want to make a positive note on the president’s SONA, I just can’t. I would be totally lying if I would say that I am satisfied about what our country’s current state. It’s so not true kasi. Those statistics and figures that she showed us could not be felt by the common tao. I could not feel it. Most of us are still underpaid. More people are still hungry. Majority are still living in poverty.
I asked one of our employees to take a break to watch the SONA with me. Her reply was very simple.

“Unsaon man ko nang SONA nga puros botbot ra man gihapon ang isulti ni Gloria. Kung tinuod pa na Mel, din a unta ko maglisud ug pangita ug pamugas bisan karon lang adlawa.”

Translation: Aanhin ko naman yang SONA eh puro kasinungalingan naman ang lahat ng sasabihin ni Gloria. Kung totoo man yan Mel, sana hindi na ako nahihirapan na maghanap ng kakainin naming kahit ngayong araw lang.


I did not respond to her statement. Totoo naman ang sinabi niya eh.
