On July 27, 2009, will be the 8th State Of the Nation Address (SONA) of GMA. According to the news, it will focus on the strengthening the agricultural sector and the national social welfare program of the government, with the help of the value added tax proceeds, and on the developments in the on going infrastructure program.
Also, GMA's pronouncement on the SONA will dictate the direction of the next year's national budget (according to Department of Budget and Management). Said it will be "over P1 trillion." (weow!)
When I was still in college (PUP, Manila), SONA was the time where students leave their classes and go out on the streets with their red or black arm bands, placards/banners and mega phone hoping that their sentiments will be heard.
Everyone wants to be heard.
But not all have the courage to stand up for what they believe.
Thanks to vistapinas for the picture.
