    STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS 2019

    Reaction Paper

    Last July 22 2019, the president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, delivered his fourth state of the
    nation address. Even though I was not able to watch the whole event live, online articles and online
    videos helped me understand what our president had said during the event. For what I have read, he was
    able to tell the Filipinos the accomplishments he has done and also the incoming plans he has for the
    betterment of our country. As a student, the issues addressed in the speech that are very relevant
    nowadays really did contribute to the promised ‘transparency’ and helped me understand more deeply the
    problems and happenings that our country is facing right now. It helped me, and I hope all other students,
    in reflecting as to how and what I can do, as a student, to help address those issues. “I have identified the
    enemy who bumped us into this quagmire we are in. I have met the enemy face to face, and sadly the
    enemy is us. We are our own tormentors, addressing the Filipino people. We are our own demons”
    because of that statement, I have realized that I shouldn’t always be blaming Duterte for the slow
    development in the country. No matter how passionate and determined a leader is in creating a huge
    change, nothing will happen if the people won’t cooperate. He tells the Land Transportation office, Social
    Security System, Bureu of Internal Revenue, Land Registration Authority, and Pag-IBIG to improve their
    services as data from the complaint center under his office show they were subject of many complaints.
    He wants processing of permits to last only 3 days. It’s great to make the service better or more organized
    and to avoid the hassle. He successfully addressed the most prevalent issues nowadays in the Philippines.
    First is the corruption, I am more than happy that the president is doing his best and all he can to fight
    government thieves. I truly believe that our economy would flourish if not for the selfish government
    officials who take advantage of their power. Second are the issues with our overseas Filipino Workers or
    OFW. He pledged to protect the rights of our new heros and I think that is what they deserve for their
    contribution to our economy and also for being brave to leave their homes just to earn for their family.
    Lastly, I am delighted to what he have done about our gem, Boracay. I just hope for the consistency and
    for people to cooperate in maintaining the beauty of Boracay. I also am rooting for the rehabilitation of
    Manila Bay. I have faith in the system, that the government will bring back the forgotten beauty of
    Manila's sunset paradise. "Believe me, I will end my term fighting," that line somewhat ignited a light
    through the darkness our country is facing right now. For me, he managed to feed people a little hope that
    everything will be alright in his hands.
