President GMA's SONA on Monday. Are you excited?



President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is set to have her State of the Nation Address on Monday - July 28, 2008. Are you excited? There's a whole lot of hype in the news, with people discussing what she could possibly say, how she might very well deviate from the real issues at hand... even what she's going to wear has been featured in the evening news.

Well, I'm not the least bit excited - she's done it so many times now I don't find much difference between this year and last year. But apparently this year's talk will be more on the newly-crafted National Social Welfare Program (NSWP) aimed to help the country ride out from the high prices of food and oil.

The program hopes to mobilize local government units, business corporations, business organizations, religious and church organizations, non-government organizations, and foreign donors.

Arroyo will also report on the accomplishments of her past SONA promises, particularly on infrastructure, which highlighted her speech last year.

Well good luck to that!
