Shed no tears my friend…

The Philippines will be 1st world in 20 years!

Barrio Siete will become a metropolis.

And that’s what I remember from SONA 2009…

As a country in the path of typhoons and in the Pacific Rim of Fire, we must be as prepared as the latest technology permits to anticipate natural calamities when that is possible; to extend immediate and effective relief when it is not….The mapping of flood- and landslide-prone areas is almost complete. Early warning, forecasting and monitoring systems have been improved, with weather tracking facilities in Subic, Tagaytay, Mactan, Mindanao, Pampanga.” Source: SONA 2009

I did not become President to be popular. To work, to lead, to protect and preserve our country, our people, that is why I became President. When my father left the Presidency, we were second to Japan. I want our Republic to be ready for the first world in 20 years.” Source: SONA 2009

    @Reynz
    I can’t help but to shrug my head while reading the tidbits of the SONA 2009 again and looking at the Typhoon photos Mother Highess!

    Looks like Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is mentioning another country and NOT THE PHILIPPINES!!!

    Isn’t it, ironic. Don’t you think?

    Talk is cheap.

    Unless leaders present a clear moral stand against corruption, against immorality, and display a sense compassion, private or public, walang mangyayari sa mga speech speech na yan. Sa darating na halalan wag tayong magpa-sway sa thinking ng “lesser evil” kasi evil parin yon. WE should find leaders that will show a stark contrast in the present condition.

    But then again, my talk is cheap.

    Kaya sa mga kabataan at sa ating mga disillusioned na sa pangako ng gubyerno, gawan natin ng paraan ngayon. Find ways to be leaders in our communities. Set goals to be corporate leaders, community influencers gaya ni Efren Peñaflorido, church workers. Dahil kung hahayaan na lang natin sa mga generational power holders, ganon at ganon pa rin hanggang matanda na tayo.

    Be a voice. Be a leader. You can make a difference.

    Cute ng bata!

    Asa! I wouldn’t wish these things to happen to anyone maliban kay Gloria lang. Pag nalunod siya, haharangan ko lahat ng tutulong sa kanya!

  • myepinoy says:

    Check this out. http://bit.ly/2RXNQf This is a news clip dated Janaury 19, 2005.

    You’ll be surprised that from then till Ondoy’s visit, PGMA had the so-called preparedness plan very well laid out. But, like her SONA, it was all saliva, words and nothing else.

    And come to think of it, almost 4 years na sinabi na ibingay ang go signal for immediate adoption and execution, pero parang kahit isa sa mga plans wala ginawa.

    • Snow says:

      This 4-point National Action Plan in disaster preparedness plan approved by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo dated January 19, 2005 was chaired by the Department of National Defense. Tagal na nito ha! At base dun sa link…

      The 4-Point Action Plan consists of what Cruz (the Defense Secretary that time) said are realistic and achievable components:

      1. upgrading of PAGASA and PHILVOCS’ forecasting capability
      2. public information campaign on disaster preparedness
      3. capacity-building for local government units particularly in
      identified vulnerable areas
      4. mechanisms for government and private sector as partner in
      relief and rehabilitation

      Eh wala naman natupad dito ah! Lumubog ang NCR at karatig na probinsya dahil kay Ondoy.

      Then, naihabilin bang mabuti kay current Defense Secretary Teodoro Benigno ang mga ito? Parang hindi naman nag-take effect ito ah…

      yeap! i read that… thanks for the link. it’s all in the execution na hanggang ngayon napunta na naman ata sa mga kayamanan.

  • glorien says:

    while I’m reading this post, naiiyak ako dito sa office.

    It’s so sad that this happened to our country and countrymen. We always HOPE for progress and improvement on our country but none of them provided that to us yet.

    What they give in return is…….

    NOTHING!

    tsk tsk tsk.

    The pictures, except for biik’s house, are so touching.

    tsk, tsk…

  • cheh says:

    Dasal ko rin ito para sa ating bansa at sa ating mga kababayan!!Mabuhay ang lahat!

  • reynz says:
