Midway into his six-year term in office, President Benigno S. Aquino
III said the State-of-the Nation Address (SONA) he delivered on Monday
is an address by the Filipinos who believed that change is possible and
there’s a bright future for the country.
“Sa bawat Pilipinong nagtitiwala sa kapangyarihan ng maliliit na anyo ng kabutihan: Kayo po ang gumawa ng pagbabago. SONA po ninyo ito,” the President said in his 4th SONA at the House of Representatives in Quezon City. “Sa bawat gurong bumabangon nang madaling-araw para magturo sa kanayunan: SONA mo ito. Sa bawat pulis na nagsilbi at hindi nanghingi ng kapalit: SONA po niyo ito,” he said. Monday’s address is also the SONA of the people who worked together to find the most qualified leaders during the May mid-term election, he said. “Sa bawat estudyanteng mulat sa mga napapanahong isyu sa lipunan, at sa halip na magreklamo lang sa Facebook ay nagmumungkahi ng solusyon: SONA mo ito.” The address is also for those who encouraged others to contribute to nation building and to forget the old, corrupt system, the President further said. The President also mentioned Brigadier General Ramon Mateo Dizon, the head of the Presidential Security Group (PSG), who will be retiring soon, personally thanking the PSG chief for securing him and the Aquino family. He said his Monday’s address to the nation is the SONA of General Dizon and his wife. “Chito, nakiambag ka rin sa pagbabago; tunay kang tapat sa watawat, sa Saligang Batas, at sa sambayanang Pilipino. Siyempre, kung di ka inalalayan ng iyong butihing maybahay na si Jo-ann, hindi mo naabot ang iyong mga tagumpay. SONA ninyong dalawa ito,” he said expressing his gratitude to General Dizon. It’s a long way to go, according to the President noting that there will be challenges and stumbling blocks ahead. But he said he has full confidence on the abilities of Filipinos to overcome those challenges. “Hindi tsamba ang mga tagumpay na tinatamasa natin ngayon; huwag tayong papayag na maging panandalian lamang ang transpormasyon. Samantalahin natin ang pagkakataon upang gawing permanente ang pagbabago,” he stressed. The country has always been his source of strength, the President said. “Ito po ang aking ikaapat na SONA. Noong ako’y Congressman, ang mga taga-Tarlac ang aking lakas; nang ako’y maging Senador, at hanggang ngayon, sa aking pagkapangulo, nariyan ang sambayanan —Pilipinas, kayo ang aking lakas. Sa patuloy nating pag-aambagan at pananalig sa kapwa at sa Maykapal, sinasabi ko po sa inyo: Kayo pa rin ang sisigurong magpapatuloy ang ating nasimulan; kayo ang sisigurong mabubura na nang tuluyan ang mga mukha ng katiwalian; kayo ang sisigurong hinding-hindi na tayo muling lilihis sa tuwid na daan.” ---------------------------------------------------------------
