Random thoughts: The President's SONA

What do I care about the Philippine president's state of the nations address? When at the first place, the president doesn't care for us?

Promises, promises, promises. I'm sick and tired of hearing your sweet promises Mr. President. Promises that are made to be broken before your term ends. Oh, what about your achievements? Let me see... Wangwang, Rh Bill, Sin Tax Bill and K-12? Are these what you boast for? Common, do you think people were glad and benefited from these? Did you realize how much burden did it cause to so much Filipinos still suffering for low cost of labor and even victims of injustices brought by incessant crimes and violence?

Did you still care about the Yolanda victims and even the families of SAF 44? Are you still deaf to our cries? The cries of the farmers, fishermen and the street vendors bellowed the most.

It's not surprising that the youth of today don't seem to bother anymore and unwilling to involve in these social issues. So shame that we can't even defend and claim our own islands just because we're cowards.

This never-ending corruption plagues us all throughout. From the lower body up to higher position, there's no remedy. We Filipinos are still caged in. Let's see if your promise towards the right path persist till next year.
