Paul says:
The problem with commenting on the President's State of the Nation Address is that you are basically inundated with so many facts and figures that basically do not make sense.
Essentially, one is flooded with so many claims of having done one thing or another that your mind basically shuts down and begin clapping when everyone claps -- unless you want to look like you weren't listening or that you didn't understand what was said. Of course, with the SONA being delivered at the House of Representatives -- the territory of Gloria's minions -- it should be a no-brainer to figure out that almost every thing Gloria uttered would be applauded.
What received the biggest applause was when Gloria told Senator Mar Roxas:
"To those who want to be President, this advice: If you really want something done, just do it. Do it hard, do it well. Don’t pussyfoot. Don’t pander. And don’t say bad words in public."
And Mar Roxas issued his scripted quip: "Bad words in public for bad deeds done in secret."
Then again, Mar could have done better by saying, "She said PUSSY!"
It reminds me of the Chinese tale of killing a chicken to scare away monkeys.
Apart from deciphering that she basically gave Mar a kick in the gut with the passage on the Cheaper Medicines Law, we can also infer that her making brief mention of Poll Automation and Tourism as a non-endorsement of Senator Richard Gordon. Add to this, her mention of the flood control project under MMDA -- which for some reason, failed to work during the heavy downpour on Sunday, the day before the SONA. Then there is some mention of the conflict in Mindanao and perhaps, we can also infer that this is a kind of favorable endorsement of Secretary Gilbert Teodoro's work. Of course, there is also word spreading that she'll be anointing Senator Manny Villar as her candidate but no mention was given about his roles in C-5 as an accomplishment.
It basically says that while she's in power, everyone will still have to DEAL with her. Ergo, those who don't want to tangle with her are not coming out with NEGATIVE COMMENTS on her SONA -- lest she withhold support or worse, go against their plans of succeeding her as President.
Apart from these, most blog posts on the SONA are harping on the absence of any categorical declaration that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will not pursue another term. Which is kind of crazy because it assumes that the President actually has a choice in the matter. Does she?
Your opinion is as good as mine but then again, we have the Constitution which says that the President can only have ONE TERM. The Constitution cannot be changed or altered in anyway except through the concurrence of both houses of congress voting jointly but separately. I think this question can only be answered by ASSERTING our collective sovereign will, when the time comes.
All in all, as with most SONAs, I'd say it was a waste of time and I urge everyone to just move on.
Boldstar says:
In the boiling cauldron cheered by witches in Filipiniana and Mad dogs in Barong Tagalog, the Queen proclaimed all is well in the kingdom. Well, the poor have apparently been fed by her agricultural Carabaos nevermind that the country is importing rice. She claimed that 700,000 families benefited from her Pantawid Pamilya program. Well, excuse me for hurling yesterday's breakfast, but what happened to the rest of the 50 million Filipinos who live off 2 dollars a day? Her effortless hubris of "I did that" "we did it" is fatally clear that all are far from reality. She claimed that she want "the republic to be ready for the first world in 20 years". Well, what happened to the last 10 years? She also added that her revenue raising measures have alleviated the poor and shielded the country from the current global economic crisis. Oh that sounds great and everyone applauded. However, what we haven't been told is the fact that every citizen debt burden have doubled. Obviously she is not going to acknowledge that there are structural and systemic deficiencies that contribute to the country's debt burden and most significantly accumulation. She's done nothing. It's frightening to know that the Philippines consolidated public sector debt burden is now at 80+ percent of GDP (calculated until 2008) fueled by ZTE type debt obligations like the Austrian funded Medical Waste, and the World Bank textbook projects.
The SONA is a testament to her denial of things that are so wrong. Regardless of what I say its moot. Whatever don't even get me started on that Moody Ratings.
Trixie says:
I listened to the SONA while sitting at a McDonald's outside of the Gotesco Mall on Commonwealth. The night before, I received information from various sources that there would be agitators in the crowds. Many friends advised me not to go. Others asked me to be around, just in case the arrests and beatings would begin. The threat of martial law or emergency rule hung in the air.
The rains did not deter the rallyists. The cops tried to keep their cool despite their ground commander's very public desire to return to the outlawed Calibrated Preemptive Response. And GMA got a beating in the streets.
But the scenes before me seemed surreal as I listened to GMA cackle that she was triumphant over all her "enemies." Where demonstrators were wet, cold and angry in the streets, she was in the halls of Congress, dressed to the nines, throwing power punches at her detractors and stopping at all the right moments to allow her psychophants to amplify their groveling applause.
It is this moment that best exemplifies what GMA has done. She has presided over a divided nation, gloated over her enemies. But in the end, she was simply masking a fear that the hungry howling in the streets would soon come for her.
Amiel Says:
A long time ago, I told the council that I wasn’t that rapturous about President Barack Obama’s winning the US Presidency. Well true enough, Barack’s popularity has dipped below those of his predecessor George W. Bush at the same point in his White House tenure. By 49 percent, respondents said they disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy, while they disapprove of his health care policy by 50 percent. We live in a global economy and our world has become more pessimistic about how long it will take the economic downturn to end. Nowadays, what can make and break a head of state is the economy…Despite Paul Farol’s qualms about the accuracy of the figures used to arrive at the impressive totals, the economy has in truth improved under GMA in terms of the Gross Domestic Product, the strength of the banking sector, the wise Bangko Sentral (where my Uncle serves as vice-governor) decisions that have made our country better positioned to weather the global economic and financial crisis. The government still has to work hard and turn the

Six months into his presidency, Barack Obama is less popular than George W Bush was at a similar stage of his period in power. A USA Today/Gallup poll shows that Obama’s approval rating has plummeted by some nine points since January to only 55 per cent, as the independents and disenchanted Republicans who voted him into office begin to think again!
Rasmussen survey, President Obama's approval rating is down to 61 percent. Obama's decline was inevitable once he actually started making decisions...Gloria on the other hand fell to negative then is slowly inching to positive as she ends her term.
“I am accused of misgovernance. Many of those who accuse me of it left me the problem of their misgovernance to solve. And we did it,”
She is talking about cabinet officials like Dinky Soliman, Mar Roxas, Avelino Cruz etc.etc

A friend who is an educator and vice president of a college from Naga came to Manila just to be there. Like the rest, he weathered the artificial rain. He was not paid to be there. Where were you?

The robotic applause was more irritating than GMA was to her critics.
I ask that Obama be given more time to see if his policies are actually working or not. For cryin' out loud, fixing the problems he inherited from the previous administration can't be done overnight. Those who are already giving Obama negative points this early are mostly staunch Republicans-at-heart. They can all go watch the super-biased Fox News network and believe all their "spins" like the robots who applaud GMA.
As we all know, the two leaders are about to meet soon. Let's see where Obama stands concerning the Philippines. Will he put GMA in her place? Or will he support her ambitions? THAT should be a bigger concern to us Pinoys.

This is still being debated as we speak, so control your emotions and don't shout!
Amiel,
Tell that to the nearly ten percent increase in business closures this year alone. Your gross domestic product was actually produced by less companies this year than it did last year.
This means that only the rich are getting richer. The poor die of starvation and no longer become part of your national statistics on economic indicators.
Stop being so pro-Gloria, Amiel. You are just spreading her lies. The commenter was right. Tell the hungry that according to the gross domestic product we are doing so well, they shouldnt be hungry. According to Amiel, they should be "busog."
Obama is just doing fine. he is tackling huge issues like bailing out the US economy & health care and a lot of polarizing issues like guatanamo bay, don't-don't tell, gay union, etc). but he is the president and he is not shying away from these problems. he is still a million times upgrade from Bush. comparing Obama to the leaders of this country does not even compute.
i'm so sick and tired of listening to people saying that they are afraid that GMA may extend her stay as leader of this country. who is she, God? the people should stop acting as victims. GMA does not have the power - the people have the power. if you reject her then do so. stop whining; tell her she cannot stay and that is the end of that.

On November 4, 2008 millions of Americans went to the polls to vote in the 56th quadrennial presidential election. Most Americans were looking for an alternative to the tulmultous policies and actions of Republican President George W. Bush. While it is unquestionable that the President is highly photogenic, he undeniably has a flashy smile and ostensibly impressive rhetorical skills. However when the American public vote for the president of the United States we are not voting for a movie star we are electing a politician who will look after the collective interest of the American people. Barack Obama does not possess a sense of basic goodness and therefore was a particularly poor choose for the presidency. He is a "bad man" because he associates himself with some rather nefarious men and women, furthermore he does bad things under best of intentions has bad intentions, and ultimately espouses bad ideas. There is simply nothing to indicate to me, as citizen of the United States and as a member of the human race that Barack Obama does not have any basic sense of goodness, decency, or character as a humanbeing and is a inept politician to boot.

President Arroyo credited tourism as a major engine of growth, growing four times bigger during her term, and generating billions of pesos in revenue.Cebu topped the country in foreign tourist arrivals early this year. With its stable peace and order situation, compared to Luzon and Mindanao, and resort appeal of big city trappings and beach-diving paradise, it will continue to attract more foreign visitors and balikbayans.

Dear PattyCake,
kahit murahin mo si unano but fact remains that the size of the Philippine economy (in GNP terms), from $74 billion in 2001 to $184.6 billion in 2008 .
So putang ina Gloria why did you raise our GDP... Fuck you!
Yan Happy na Kayo?
I HATE GLORIA. She has made the economy expand from P3.63 trillion in 2001 to P7.42 trillion in 2008, a 104-percent increase or a doubling of the size of the economy. That’s equivalent to an average 13-percent gain per year (104 divided by eight years.
Mamatay ka na unano!
right on baliw... So putang ina Gloria why did you raise our GDP... Fuck you!
Yan Happy na Kayo?
As if naman Gloria had anything to do with raising the GDP. At ikaw, baliw. masyado ka nang naduling sa kakamura mo. Wala naman nakalagay na minumura si GMA. Murahin mo sya kung gusto mo. Pero the fact remains NEDA says we are in near recession. NEDA na yan. Dispute mo ang near-recession with GDP kung kaya mo.
GDP means nothing kung walang umiikot na pera in the population. It means we have to gear up for inflation that is only kept at bay by the OFWs. With the worldwide recession, those OFW dollars are going down as they lose their jobs and start returning home.
Tama yung commenter. Kainin nyo yang GDP nyo.

Solita Monsod, our Economics Prof. in University of the Philippines said the annual GDP growth is highest under President Arroyo’s term and “that is an empirical fact.” GDP is gross domestic product, which is the total cost of all goods and services produced in the country in a year.“She’s done good for this country and you can’t take that away from her,” Monsod said. ButMonsod was disappointed that the rising GDP rate—which even hit a record high of 7.2 percent in 2007—did not TRANSLATE to a lower poverty incidence.
It is an empirical fact that the GDP grew big time... So fuck you GMA! hehehe. that's what Boldstar wants to hear!

First, wrong grammar. Do not interchange "were" with "where."
Second, the Banko Sentral is "wise"? Really? HOw wise are they? Are they "wise" as in "intelligent" or wise as in "switik"? If you are referring to the Banko Sentral's decisions, which one are you talking about? Or have you taken a good long look at their decisions lately? Perhaps it would also be "wise" for you to look at all the decisions, including the ones where they subjectively apply regulations to their not so favored banks.
And of course, who can ignore the "where my Uncle serves as vice governor" Is this the part where you equate the wise decisions with the fact that your Uncle is one of those decision makers.
What a loser.

But it is also a presidency that helped the country navigate through one of the most difficult times. I am sure I will receive acid remarks for saying that – especially from Mama Boldstar.
_________________________________
First of all I love RainB. And out of love here's my acid remarks.
GMA navigated the financial crisis by raising taxes without much improvement in curtailing his administrations wastage ie borrowings that increased our national debt and increasing the subsequent payments which could have been USEFUL in job creation policies.
As a government being proud of REVENUE RAISING through taxes which takes away from discretionary income in a population of predominantly struggling people does not take brilliance. Although for now the government is raking in the money people have much less to spend within the economy hinders the trickle down effect of spending stimulation by the domestic consumption and thus exacerbate poverty. It cannot be sustained. Who knows why there were no policies that generate revenue through the supply and demand side. It is beyond my comprehension and increased my contempt for her administration.
In the meantime, the country to all and sundry looks quite attractive specially with the remittances of the suffering OFW's.
Now even Moody acknowledged that problem is only a breath away when the remittances dip and the people could no longer afford to take in more taxes. BTW several ravenous revenue raising are pending so more hell to come.
I am not an expert but economists or accountants like Reyna Elena may elucidate me on this but isn't it better to have policies that stimulate the economy and employment and through that way more taxes are generated? Why isn't there a pro-active government effort to help small business owners for example? And don't tell me that her begging other countries to take in more OFW's is a fantastic economic plan?
How long can we be subjected to more and more taxes! I've had enough with her and she ought to be ashamed with that smug beatific perfunctory oration.
in many countries increasing revenue by raising taxes is political suicide and why she is STILL there I have no farking clue. Excessive governments throughout history have always fallen just asked any of the ancient roman emperors and why is this one is standing there???????
i'll live you all with this quote:
the fall of Rome was fundamentally due to economic deterioration resulting from excessive taxation, inflation, and over-regulation. Higher and higher taxes failed to raise additional revenues because wealthier taxpayers could evade such taxes while the middle class--and its taxpaying capacity--were exterminated.

education- no improvement, in fact it has deteriorated.
population control- TOTAL FAILURE
rice production- total failure
revenue collection- no improvement
corruption- total failure
media related killings- total failure
poverty alleviation- total failure
public health- total failure
flood control- no improvement
garbage and pollution in major cities- no improvement

dear anon... the SWS rating of Trillanes sunk from +11 to .3 within 3 months. Who is the BIGGEST LOOSER?
dear anon 722
your reading comprehension is so bad. amiel says , "In truth the economy has improved under GMA in terms of Gross Domestic Product"
IN TERMS of GDP is the root words in the sentence.
I agree na para kayong "Galit na Sisa"
I AGREE! Ano po bang yang GDP na yan? Bagong brand nang lechon o branded bag po ba yan? Asking lang.
Boldstar can make a lesbian out of anyone. Pics please.
Smack intelligence is so sexy and so "Ohhhh" for awesome!!!
"that's why the opposition cannot depose the royal unano highness GMA..."
please make better arguments and not emotional outcries ala Mar Roxas.
peace!
"Amiel's connecting Baracks dwindling ratings and GMA is a work of art by a MASTER PR practitioner "
I'm dumbfounded!
HOOOOY!
THIS IS NOT ABOUT AMIEL.
THESE ARE PERSONAL SENTIMENTS OF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL ABOUT THE SONA.
MGA TANGA!
Patayin si GMA para masaya si boldstar at trixie!
Boldstar can make a lesbian out of anyone. Pics please!
Eh basta Marcos pa RIN!
Amiel is writing from the PR perspective... Frankly he is correct!
Ang saya naman dito...
Pabili naman ng gulay....
Tama! Trillanes is the biggest LOSER!

Walang bayan na umasenso sa kakarally at lalong walang buhay na umasenso sa kakarally. Ginulo lang ninyo ang traffic para sa aming subsub maghanapbuhay. Mag bukas kayo ng negosyo para kayo umasenso at makabigay ng trabaho sa inyong kapwa pilipino. Do it hard. Do it well and dont pander
Tama!!! Gayahin natin si GMA. Ginawang negosyo ang buong bansa.
Hindi lang si GMA ang gayahin, pati yung kamaganak incorporated ni Cory, kabit incorporated ni erap, monopoly ng lopez, attack-and-collect-defend-and-collect ng maraming media at revolutionary tax ng NPA-CPP at di pagbayad ng buhis ng simbahang katoliko. Puro magandang negosyo
kahit anung pa mang statisko ang hugutin nya sa puwet nya, PGMA will remain the most distrusted president of the republic of the philippines
I held my nose when I voted for Obama (Hillary is more competent, I believe) and I regret that decision. "He is better than Bush" doesn't make him more qualified. He is ruining America with his socialist policies and his Chicago cronies. Illinois politics is seething with corruption. I just thought about this now, but it would be a miracle if he is the only "virgin" out of that whorehouse.
Character matters. I thought Personality politics was exclusive to the Philippines. I wish I was more informed last November.
