The President has just delivered her 8th State of the Nation Address. It was a much-awaited event by friend and foe alike. The EVat, a major source of contention and polarization among Filipinos will stay. The President calls it the "shield" from the global crisis that has squeezed the joy of the life of many Filipinos.
The embarrasing "good news" was the reduction of the cost of sending SMS (text message) by 50% (from 1 peso to 50 centavos). The nation later learned that this is promotional campaign of some telecom companies and it would only last till October of this year.
The nation needs deliverance from its present crippling crisis but the SONA has not offered an ambulance to take the patient to where he should go nor offered a program of surgical intervention to save the nation from its economic and political cancer.
