Statement of Sen Sonny Angara on the SONA of Pres. Duterte

Okay naman yung mga hugot lines ng Presidente lalu na ang tungkol sa corruption. Tulad niya, frustrated na din tayo sa patuloy na corruption sa gobyerno.

Nagpapasalamat tayo na binanggit ni Pangulong Duterte ang pagtaas sa sweldo ng ating mga guro. Ito ay ating isinusulong dahil matagal na nila itong hinihintay.

Napapanahon din yung panawagan niya na ipasa ang Magna Carta for Barangays at ang pagtayo ng isang National High School for Sports, at ng Department of Disaster Resilience, tatlong panukala na kasama sa unang 20 na priority bills natin.

His speech is notable for the fact that it is less peppered with the colorful words that he often uses. Kung noon tadtad ng 'P,'ngayon ibang 'P' na ang pinagtuunanan nya-- the Ps that matter: Progress, Peace and Prosperity.

I will not belabor him for omitting other issues because it is impossible to cram all of our problems in one speech.

Hindi naman isang linggong pabasa ang SONA. What is important is that he talked about the things many of our people want to hear from him. It is a well-curated address.

What is the best SONA reaction? We should react with deeds. It should be back to work for all of us.
