State of the Nation Address of the President Benigno Aquino III
Enhanced Tourism Industry 2013
- The several recognition given by renowned international travel magazines and websites and the
increased number of tourist are testaments of the improved tourism industry in the Philippines.
Enhanced Tourism Industry 2014
-The Philippines was upgraded to investment grade status by Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard and
Poor’s—the three major credit ratings agencies in the world. Because the Philippines is now
investment grade, government will be able to borrow funds for programs and projects at lower
interest rates, more businesses will be attracted to invest in our country, and Filipinos will be
able to feel the benefits of our economic resurgence more quickly.
Analysis
- Based on the recent rating has increased because the Philippines is now open for businesses
and investors but for now we are not feel the stated of the president because it is a lot poorest
people in this country, I cannot feel the enhancement of our tourism and base of the survey
they are “Very Poor” because President Benigno Aquino III has nothing to do to care about
the opinion of this “Boss”. I hope that our President well improve the satisfaction of the
citizens.
Enhancement of the Armed Forces and Police 2013
- Housing programs for the soldiers and police. There are already 21,800 housing units that
were already completed last year.
Enhancement of the Armed Forces and Police 2014
-The government has acquired brand new assets, including eight Sokol Combat Utility
Helicopters, three AgustaWestland-109 helicopters, and the first landing craft utility ship built
right here in the country: the BRP Tagbanua. Four refurbished UH-1 helicopters and two navy
cutters have also arrived. This past May, the government also inaugurated the Naval Forces
West’s state-of-the-art Command Center in Palawan. Next year, two out of the 12 FA-50 lead-in
fighter jets procured will arrive in the country, with the rest to be delivered in 2017. We are also
targeting the acquisition of an additional eight Bell combat utility helicopters, two anti-
submarine helicopters, 10 more AgustaWestland-109 helicopters, two light-lift aircraft, three
medium-lift aircrafts, radar systems, all of which are brand new. These, along with other new
equipment, will boost the capacity of our Armed Forces. The government is also expecting the
delivery of 17 additional refurbished UH-1 helicopters by September of this year.

2. Analysis
Based on my analysis in the enhancement of the armed force and police are very great because
our President Aquino accommodate the particular needs and for me it’s very Well now our
president made the good of the police as a big help to further strengthen our armed police and
becomes as new vehicles to facilitate the operation and handle or causing as new police guard to
be secured for the witnesses to pork barrel scam.
Reaction
According to our President Aquino he has a lot of things had already accomplish to our country
Like he stated on his SONA last Monday July 28, 2014.
A lot of people are not contented to his accomplishment because for now there is a lot of changes
to our nation like increasing the prices of commodities and according to studies there maybe
shortage of water in metro manilathey are make a another way of line to Angat dam to connect
the Kaliwa dam project of Quezon city. For me our president Aquino have advantages he did to
his administration because he give a job to a jobless people and from April 2013-2014around
1.65 million jobs they created. also made her all for all of us improve and enhance our country,
hopefully before the end of his presidency cope with his promises to her and give her boss also
engaged Those adjusted important to our country and would turn to Next to be installed as the
president continues his be woven the ideals of our gracious president. For me just turn would
give his attention to the poor because not enough of them are provided by the government and
especially now breeding our population and many children have not previously studied because
of the difficulty of their families and hopefully expanding the program to them about family
subsistence as a big help for other children studied.
Please turn to the Session in high position will hopefully do not you make hard corrupt the
combined citizens who hardly work just to pay the tax levied on every citizen.
Also about the DAP President Aquino who would also turn of accounts having the propaganda
you about something because for no turn occur more in the exercise of DAP. Our dear president
are sure that there was going to do your promises? Because I do not really feel your promises in
your last State of the Nation address.
