At Last, a president with a vision

Published by RedBlueThoughts at 3:15 am under Uncategorized Edit This

This is the first time that I finished listening to the president’s sona. Some years ago, I was one of the thousands jeering the president for allegedly “lying” before the Filipino People. Before, I used to confront hundreds of truncheon-wielding cops who defend this president who causes everybody such painful agonies.

Now, I commend Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for her speech today. It was a speech filled with optimism. It was a report on the state of the Nation. She is correct. Indeed, the state of the nation is strong. GMA is correct in just focusing on the economic gains achieved by her administration instead of confronting her detractors in their own game. For the first time, rallyists appear like shouting discordant tones. They are protesting against the Human Security Act. They thought that GMA will give it in her speech. They were mistaken. GMA mentioned the term only thrice.

At last, GMA gave the right speech.
