nothing. it would make me happy if she just shut up har har har. i mean all she says are another bunch of promises and claiming that we are not a poor nation. "damang dama ang asenso" where? asenso of their own pockets? i just hope she just do what she has to do and stop talking and start moving. well this is only my view.... or me ranting.

It's always good to hear the SONA because the speech is very well written. But of course there will be points to argue over. Last year, GMA claimed to do so many things that you can't really credit her for. She also failed to address some important issues. I guess it's really hard to please everyone. But overall, I don't see the SONA as something every important. I'd rather that she take action instead of wasting time and resources giving out a speech.

Well I lose interest with it several years ago. It's all flowery words and no actions. I think I don't want to hear anymore of that and would like to know anything that pertains about it.

I hope to hear that she will put real heed to the needs of our fellow men who are starving and living beyond poverty. I really hope that God will touch her heart and guide her on how to resolve the problems of the country.

Very good question. I would like to hear from her as almost all Filipino's would like is "I RESIGN". I guess we will be pleased and happy to hear it from her. LOL. Than a bunch of reports and promises which didn't happen. . Keep posting. HUGZ!

I want to hear nothing from her. I'm going to stay in front of the computer the whole day and I'm not going to check the SONA, I'll just wait for the late night news where the highlights of the event will be aired. Anyways, I somehow want to hear something that has a twist in it...Maybe an announcement about the support for our inventors like that "crazy" man with his water-powered engine. Yeah. What we need now is some improvement from eccentric people trying to make a change. And of course I want to hear the truth about the state of the nation, where we are now and where we are heading to. It's a good thing not to lie to the people.

I wish that instead of praising herself from her "apparent" accomplishments she should really just say where is this country headed. Also instead of empty promises she should actually address the issues that really concern us and tell the congress what is needed to be done. That's why it's called an address not a promise speech or whatever it could be.
