Ang SONA ni Gloria. Imagine that being sung over and over again on the radio. AM station. How utterly irritating. It’s sort of anti-PGMA (or you could say anti-SONA-ni-Gloria) But the lyrics ARE funny
. It’s not just criticizing, it’s insulting. Just can’t remember the exact words.
SONA Excerpts with [comments]:"To my friends in Congress who … passed some of the most severe and critical fiscal reforms … You are the true friends of the Filipino people
[If you count ‘makes life unbearable‘ a quality in a friend. Fiscal reforms could be effective IF there were no tax evasions and thieves within the government.] …
sa wakas may pondo na tayo, hindi lamang para ibayad sa interes [That’s a comforting thought. If it were true. Which I hope it is. But isn’t. Or is it? Labo.] … Now, we have the money to pay down our debt and to build up our country.
[And the money should continue to be used for those two things. And not find its way in the hands of another corrupt official.]//insert long plans for nation building here//
[It would be a great (repeat 7,777 times) achievement if the government could actually impose those projects and plans (and finally achieve their goals) that PGMA stated in her SONA] … We have scaled the heights of Mount Everest, dominated the Southeast Asian games, we have won international beauty titles, and of course punched our way to triumph in the boxing world. Our people compete and win every day in every imaginable job throughout the world. Individually, we’ve taken the world on and won; together, we must take on the challenge of creating a new, peaceful, humane and competitive nation and prevail …
[This last one is actually kind of uplifting. Filipinos ARE a great people. But why do we refuse to believe that?]"
