State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III

          Annually, during the 4th Monday of the 7th month of the year, the President of the Philippines delivers his/her State Of the Nation Address (SONA). Last July 22, 2013 our President Benigno Simeon Aquino III delivered his 4th SONA to inform us, the citizen of the Philippines, about the progress of our country, the current projects, the plans and the problems of our country.

          In President Benigno Simeon Aquino III's  SONA, one of the topic he discussed was about education where in he focused about the ability of our country to prepare for the additional needs that the implementation of the K-12 program will require, but why is it that some school still lack on books, chairs, rooms and other school facilities. Like in our school, we don't have enough books for our subjects and also laboratory equipments even computer equipments. So how can it be that our country has the ability to prepare for the additional needs that the implementation of the K-12 program will require? If the government cannot produce all the needs of all the schools in our country today, how would they be able to produce all the needs in the future, where in there is surely a great increase of student population that will also cause demand of teachers which will lead to increase in the teachers population? Where will the government get the fund for school facilities? Where will they get the teacher's salary? I just hope that the government will be able to solve this problems because we, the Filipinos, are counting on the government.

          I made this reaction to voice out my observations and my experiences towards the problems of our country in line with education. As a student, I really hope the government will give importance to this matter because education is the only key of our country to improve and can even overcome the other countries.
