MY OPINION 

          President Benigno Simeon Aquino III delivered his speech on July 23, 2012.  State of the nation address is a yearly duty of the president which he delivers his accomplishments. President Benigno Simeon Aquino III  has not delivered his State of the Nation Address (SONA) as of this writing and I don’t know what his SONA contains. I am guessing there will be no paper boats, human props and flowery rhetoric. I am expecting it will be mainly in Filipino with some English thrown in, well-substantiated yet poignant, witty yet direct to the point. I am assuming it will last for around an hour but with PNoy’s fast-clipped speaking style, it won’t seem long with no boring moments. I am imagining PNoy will mince no words and everyone listening will realize he means what he says and he says what he means.

“Pagkain Ng Gulay Ugaliin Araw-araw Itong Ihain”

                                   
                 

                      Every July we are celebrating the nutrition month.  These years theme is "Pagkain gulay ugaliin arww-araw itong ihaiin"
                       Vegetables, like fruits, are low in fat but contain good amounts of vitamins and minerals. All the Green-Yellow-orange vegetables are rich sources of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C, vitamin A, and vitamin K.As in fruits, vegetables are also home for many antioxidants that; firstly, help body protect from oxidant stress, diseases and cancers, and secondly, help body develop capacity to fight against these by boosting immunity.     
                        Health is very important because our health is our health.  Eat more vegetable for longer and more active lifestyle.

Dear President Benigno C. Aquino,                    

             Greetings of peace!

             With 2 years on the position, what have you achieved? You keep on promising a “BETTER FUTURE” to your constituents but where is it? It would take some time for changes to take effect, as what the saying goes; but how long these hungry and homeless people have to wait before they could see these changes?                    

         But still you have remaining years to improve and enforce your program to the people of the Philippines.

Respectfully yours,

Stephanie Gaile Q. Arguilla
