Puto-kutsinta ni Bae Osiang
SONA ni PNoy, bitin daw
Jul 27th, 2010 by ella
I watched two anchors of a TV show and their panel of guests while they spewed their two-cents worth on the president’s State Of The Nation Address sa joint session ng 15th Congress kanina. They seemed to be disappointed. On a scale of one to ten, one ex-senator gave it a 7.
Aw c’mon, guys. What were you expecting to see? A murder mystery movie, teleserye, Korean drama? Kapag hindi ninyo gusto ang ending, bitin kayo? Soli bayad? The nation was totally hyped about the first SONA from the leader of a three-week-old administration. Nag-aabang ang lahat ng bomba.
It was a 40-minute speech, with a lot of pauses to wait for the clapping to die down…32 times. That would mean a burst of applause every 1.3 minutes (roughly). Don’t tell me puro sipsip ang mga distinguished guests sa Batasan kaya feeling adik silang pumalakpak hehe.
I, for one, was happy with that speech. Although I would have preferred the acronym SOPIA, State of the Philippine Islands Address (used during the American occupation). SOPIA, hmmm…mas maganda ang dating, parang artista. Tutal, mahilig din naman ang mga Pinoy sa drama.
Again, PNoy gave his address in Filipino. Pogi points for him. Major connect sa sambayanan. We understood every word he said, coupled with the right pauses and stresses, more pogi points. Hindi siya flat, monotone blah.
Sa totoo lang, nakakatulog ako sa gitna ng mga nakaraang SONA ng mga ex-presidents natin. Paggising ko, iba na ang palabas sa TV hehe. You know, rambling empty promises sounded like a lullaby to me. Total space out.
But PNoy’s SONA sounded different. I hung on his every word. I think it’s in the delivery. Para bagang nanonood ako ng suspense/action /thriller blockbuster sa wide screen. Did the butler do it?
His revelations of his predecessor’s level of corruption were no earth-shaking surprise. Alam naman nating lahat ‘yon. We just chose to do nothing about it.
But I do like the way he talks to us. Deretsahan, walang maraming boladas. He even makes some street words popular. Last time it was “WANG-WANG”. Kanina, it was “TONGPATS”.
But can the man walk the talk? Well, guys, that’s the stuff I hope to see.
I’ve read this somewhere else, sa tublr or Manila Bulletin ata…
“the worst thing that could happen for us Filipinos, to painfully wait again to the next leader of this country’s new set of promises”

Dun sa mga taong magaling mag criticize hindi ko maintindihan bakit parang laging magaling kung magsalita. Eh kung sila na lang kaya maging presidente. Kahit sino naman siguro uupo eh meron masasabi against that person. I agree na maganda ang kinalabasan ng speech ni PNOY. Hopefully mahuli na ang mga dapat mahuli. Nauuwi lang kasi sa bulsa ng mga corrupt ang binabayaran nating tax. Anyhow, with all your opinion sa post mo agree ako dun.
Keep it up!

Well, ang pinakamagandang dapat mangyari ay makikilahok tayong lahat…hindi makikialam. Tamang lang na nailahad ang tunay na kalagayan ng bansa, for us to know saan dapat magsimula si PNoy. Atleast alam din nating ito ang minana nya and he cannot do everything overnight specially with the current situation. Let’s do our part na lang, even is a small…sa dami natin, malaki na yon kung iisipin.
