President Benigno Aquino delivered his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) last July 22, 2013 Monday. It was longest ever SONA so far but it was applauded less, than last year. I was very happy because he contributed many things in the development of Philippines. According to an internet site,his SONA focused on the achievements of the government on his term. Such as the reforms of the Education System (the K-12), approval of the Sin Tax Reform Law and “Responsible Parenthood Law” (RH Law), Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, increase in number of TESDA graduates, increase in Philhealth enrollies from 62% to 81% and improved benefits, allocation of P6.2 billion for flood control in Metro Manila, completion of 9,377 housing units for Typhoon Sendong victims, 63% reduction in number of private armed groups, 21.4 increase in foreign tourist arrivals in 2012 and 7.8% GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth during the first quarter of 2013. This is only few he discussed.

For me, the achievement of K-12 Education System is the most important of all of his contributions. This system is very important because it develops more the students for more advancement of performance. The better the performance, the better the work will be done. Even if I was only a student, I was concerned for this thing. And I salute President Noynoy for what he contribute and all benefits he gave to the good achievements of our country.
