MY CRITIQUE ON THE LAST SONA OF GMA
Hello Everyone!
This is Fitzgerald Najos and this is my critique about GMA's SONA 2009...
so here it goes....
The 2009 State of the Nation Address is the SONA of our “President” Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and it is perhaps the most abysmal address that she has ever done in her entire term considering that this time is supposed to be a crucial situation.( tsk3)..................
It was not April Fool’s Day but for me it is.. July 27th 2009, the day that GMA delivered her last (SONA)State of the Nation Address, was one ridden with the biggest of lies, deceit and desperate effort to make right the wrongs she has committed to the Filipino people. GMA’s 2009 SONA was a twisted statements, with incessant “thanks” to her cohorts or shall I say minions in Congress who do her bidding, as she does without question to her imperialist masters. SONA 2009 was an indefinite answer to many questions about our national situation.
She said; “But I never declared martial law, though they are running scared as if I did”
In the face of worsened national oppression of the country’s indigenous peoples, the sellout of their indigenous territories and ancestral lands to extractive industries and massive militarization, but GMA spoke nothing of it, as if there were no indigenous peoples in the country, and militarization in the Cordillera interiors was never heard of.
As what I've seen and heared she executed every man, woman who struggled against her dictatorship and stood for democracy and human rights. She did it hard with the extrajudicial killings. She calls her dictatorship determination—only in the sense that she was determined to kill and terrorize to feed her hunger for power.
I know I am still a student but I can see the truth that we are already under the state of an undeclared martial law.
She said; “The economy is more fair to the poor than ever before” (but I really didn't believe her)
How can it be fair with the imposition of the R-VAT? Aside from being an additional burden VAT does not distinguish a rich consumer from a poor one. With this regime, the value of taxation rooted from an individual’s capacity to pay was totally undermined. Is this fair?..
From 2000-2006 the number of poor Filipinos rose to 27.6M. Around 70 million Filipinos struggle to survive on P110 or less a day. The period 2001-2008 is the longest period of sustained high unemployment in the country’s history. The growth in Gross Domestic Product is higher under this administration but the gains from this growth benefited the few and not been felt by the lowly masses and the largest number of Filipinos..... again, Is this fair?
She said; “I am falsely accused, without proof, of using my office for personal profit”(seezz..)
Has GMA totally forgotten the name of the brave whistleblower Jun Lozada? Has she forgotten the Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, the PIATCO contract, the fertilizer scam, the Jose Pidal scam and many more? Under this administration, luoy au ta its because the Philippine government has been consistently rated as one of the most corrupt in the world...tsk3 =(
GMA is in a clear state of denial..nagsisinungaling sya. In truth, she and the members of the first family and they were already implicated in serious cases of corruption but no thorough, impartial and sincere investigation was done.why?? i think they were afraid..
She said; “I never expressed the desire to extend myself beyond my term.”
GMA made no mention of Charter Change while she harped about it in her 2006 SONA, as if it will be the end all of the economic and political turmoil in the country, and feed the growing number of the hungry Filipino people. I know I don't have the right but I will continue being vigilant of this pressing issue. The movement against Charter Change will surely gain headway across the nation.
As what I've founded out, people did not allow her to serve, as she so claims in her closing statement. She stole the presidency and did it boldly. Having done this, GMA did not think twice of committing corruption and of unleashing terrorist and draconian policies to protect her infamous regime. The very nature of GMA’s 2009 SONA showed her and her regime’s extreme isolation.
The nationwide clamor for GMA’s ouster has not stopped. For me, GMA must not remain in power, in any seat in government, and this I must guard especially with the concrete moves for the upcoming elections.AKO ANG SIMULA!
I say, GMA must go!
and there ends my critique......
hope you enjoyed and opened up your minds about the truth!!
thank you
