BLOG: Hohum. In the end, he just proved what we've known all long; that he's nothing but a man obsessed with vengeance, incapable of forgiveness or understanding, just like his mom.

BLOG: inaasahan na ng publiko ang pagmamapuri sa sarili at sa kapwa niya arogante at ipokritong mga kaalyado, pati na mga kasinungalingang pilit na isinasaksak sa isipan ng mga mamamayan, ang paulit-ulit na buod lamang ng kanyang SONA na pinag-aksayahan pa ng kuwalta mula sa buwis ng kinakawawang MASA. wala na ba talaga tayong CHOICE kundi manlumo at mainis sa tila wala na yatang katapusang INSENSIBILITIES NIYA?!!!

BLOG: Sinabi niya better off na raw ang mga Pilipino ngayon kesa panahon ni GMA. "Based on the results of the yellow survey conducted by the Social Weather Station (SWS), 23.8 percent of the Filipinos said they were going hungry, 55 percent claims they have gone poorer while unemployment had been placed at 26.8 percent. All these statistics were higher than those during the previous administration." All the international surveys including the 2011 US State Department Report and the projections of UN that we will continue to be laggard debunk Pnoy's fantasy. Saan hinugot ni PNoy ang statistics niya?

Front Page on SONA: 5,000 Protesters hurling stones block by 6,000 police. ha ha the numbers and the anger that comes with it speaks how volatile is Pnoy's leadership !!!

Wasnt this due to economist GMA creative management?

BLOG: GRABE talaga sa tapang ng apog at kaipokrituhan ang mga STOOGES  ni Bs Abnoynoy sa kongreso! paano kaya nila nasisikmura ang mga namumutawi sa sanga-sanga nilang DILA? very obvious naman wala na silang respeto sa sarili kaya 'di na sila nahihiya sa taumbayan na dapat mauna nilang pagmalasakitan. SURELY they are MEN of DISLOCATED-MORAL INTEGRITY!

The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the SONA was "okay," but the President failed to mention other things that should have been  included.

Former President Joseph Estrada, Vice President Jejomar Binay, and former Senator Ernesto Maceda, who sat together in the VIP gallery, fell asleep at some point in the speech.

SEN BONGBONG MARCOS: "The unemployment statistics that the president reported was different from what is actually happening in the grassroots. People complain about not having jobs but there are no concrete projects that could bring in jobs."

BLOG: Its canned applause ang ginamit kahapon parang sa pelikula. Loud clapping while tv camera showing many in the audience not clapping or if so, light clapping. How could it have made such loud sound or rhythmically the same intensity each time? Something really wrong. That used for comedy shows on tv worldwide, canned applause's or clapping. Halata naman provided by ABSCBN

DZRH: ISSUE: SONA REACTIONS Commentaries by D. Macalma - Alam po ninyo mga kaibigan ito ang inaasahan natin na ilalaman ng SONA ni Pang Aquino iyong sana patigilin ang pagtaas sa singil ng langis, kuryente, pasahe at pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin ngunit walang nabanggit ang Presidente.

DZRH: Tumanggap si PNoy ng mas maraming palakpak sa kanyang SONA ngayong taon kumpara sa nakalipas na dalawang SONA dahil na rin sa nilalaman ng kanyang mga accomplishments na sinamahan ng maikling biro o joke. Umaabot sa may 120 palakpak ang tinanggap ni PNoy sa mahigit sa isang oras. Ngunit sa kabila nito ay hindi pa rin nalampasan ni PNoy ang record ni Rep. GMA na tumanggap ng 126 sa mas maikling oras kanyang huling SONA noong  2009.

AFTER SONA "REPORTS SA BOOS KO" ABS-CBN: Gasoline prices up P1.80 per liter anew-Oil companies Shell and Total announced a new round of price increases in their fuel products effective 6a.am. Tuesday. Shell said its gasoline pump price will rise by P1.80 per liter, diesel by P1.20 kerosene by P1.35, and regular gasoline by P1.65. Total is also implementing similar price increases.

GMA-7: Pumanaw na eksaktong 10:45 kagabi ang kolumnistang si Nixon Cua sa Calamba, Laguna. Samantala, hawak na ng CIDG ang 4 na suspek sa pagpatay kay Cua. Mismong kanilang mga kaanak ang nagsuko sa kanila. Ang isa pang suspek ay patuloy na pinaghahanap ng pulisya.

it is quite noticeable that while praises were given to alcala, almendras, luistro, jimenez, ona and ombudsman morales, none was given to vp binay for housing and ofws.

Re SONA! Well what a total waste of time! Everyone all dressed up to the nines looked ridiculously wasteful just to hear him rattle off with lies and condemning remarks against GMA's ten year regime and CJ Corona's impeachment! We know he didn't write the speech and he fumbled in his reading a few times! Who can verify those fictitious figures and facts? Lies and more lies said! Like he is not even running the country! Mar Roxas was not looking happy at all on TV! You saw the leeches - same leeches during GMAs time- bunch of turncoats! Disgusting!

summary of PNOY'S SONA: 20% "mangled" numbers and 80% promises.

GMA NEWSTV: ph stocks DOWN on SONA day.

"bayanihan convergence" is just a rehashed or another monicker of PGMA's Super Regions/Corridors - Development Plan where agencies, lgus, and ngos synergies their resources to achieve common goals. credit grabbing hypocrites!

Tapos na Sona. Magtataasan na ulit ang prsyo ng langis at sunod sunuran na lahat sa pagtaas! Puro kaplastikan!

ANC: Reactions from some viewers after listening to PNoy's 3rd SONA: "Di namin nararamdaman, mairap pa rin kame"; "Hindi pa nakakarating ang Philhealth na yan sa mga squatter tulad namin"; "Bakit taon taon eh kulang pa rin sa classroom?"

ATTN all patriotic filipinos, pakinggan ang tunay na sona ng bayan, alamin ang gma katiwalian nagaganap sa ilalim ng AQUINO GOV'T, ANG PCOS SCAM, WATERSCAM, MERALCO, DSWD'S CCT, MALING PISO POLICY NA PUMAPABOR SA NAGHAHARING HACIENDERO, OLIGARKONG NEGOSYANTE AT MGA KKK.

ANC: LFS: Aquino 'Noynoying' when it comes to people's issues, but very active in promoting the interests of his capitalist masters.

pls note: mapapansin na ang mga microphones ay nakatapat lang sa gallery ng govt officials and staff in contrast to camra shots that na walang namang gaanong pumapalakpak.

Aksyontv: big time price increase in gas and diesel expected this week.

Aksyontv: militants burn pres aquino effigy; says he has failed. Rep. casino said aquino admin performance nothing spectacular.

dzmm teleradyo:
>prof ben doikno sinabi na dapat tigilan na ni pnoy ang paninisi sa nakaraang administrasyon.
>dapat daw nitong tutukan ang mga programa sa susunod na taon at tanggapin ang mga batikos sa mga programang hindi nakatugon sa pangangailangan ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan.

Meanwhile, P-NOY may claim that his "wang-wang" campaign is gaining ground, but, the "bang bang" state of impunity that has abetted countless extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances goes on. Already, at least 76 victims of extrajudicial killings - including Italian priest Fr. Fausto "Pops" Tentorio and Dutch aid worker Wilhelmus Geertman - and 10 enforced disappearances have been recorded under the present administration.

The incidence of hunger is also becoming grimmer: In the same first quarter of 2012, 23.8 percent or 4.8 million families said they experienced hunger (highest in history, the SWS noted) while 5.8 percent or 1.2 million families suffered severe hunger.

Meanwhile, in the past 2 years, the number of Filipinos leaving the country to seek employment abroad - even in highly dangerous territories like Syria - rose to an annual average of 1.4 million, again, higher than in previous administrations: Arroyo at 1 million; Estrada at 0.84 million; Ramos at 0.69 million and Cory Aquino at 0.47 million. With nearly 5,000 Filipinos leaving for employment abroad, the country's economic survival is, expectedly, becoming even more dependent on OFW remittances, plus tourism, foreign investments (especially in destructive industries like mining) and more borrowings.

Before P-NOY occupied Malacañang, the country's poverty incidence was 43 percent. Yet, despite the billions and billions of pesos poured into the government's Conditional Cash Transfer program, in the first quarter of 2012, 55 percent of Filipino families said that they were poor, compared to 45 percent in December 2011. Some 11.1 million families see themselves poorer in 2012 compared to 9.1 million in 2011. This only shows that temporary relief measures, including doles, cannot stamp out poverty and hunger.

DZRH: Deo Macalma; Ayon sa ating bubwit aba'y sa may Eastwood ay nagkagulo pala, nagkandarapa ang mga gwardiya sa may La Fayette 1 Condo, Eastwood kapag dumarating na ang mga tauhan ng PSG. Ayon sa ating bubwit dakong alas-7 hanggang alas-8 ng gabi ay dumarating ang Pangulo at dinadalaw ang nasabing syota sa nasabing Condo, minsan ay inaabot pa ng hatinggabi ang Pangulo. Ayon sa ating bubwit ang nasabing ching-ching ay wlang iba kundi si Ms. K as in Karla.

GMA7 Businessmen want SONA to spell out future plan, not past accomplishments
-Businessmen would rather hear Pres Benigno Aquino III's future plans during Monday's SONA rather than his past achievements. "What is more important for us businessmen is a mores stable and predictable macroeconomic fundamentals. We want a clear-cut policy direction aimed at attracting more FDIs (foreign direct investments)," said PCCI president Miguel Varela over the weekend.

STATE OF NOYNOY'S ACCOUNTABILITY: Alas, even the anti corruption campaign of the administration has been proven to be lacking in resolve and turning out to be all buladas. Since the removal of Chief Justice Renato Corona, no words has been heard anymore from P-Noy and his allies, especially on the issue of the waiver on the "confidentiality" of their statements of assets, liabilities and net worth.

In reality, in the first quarter of 2012, the number of unemployed Filipinos went up to 34.4 percent, which is equivalent to 13.8 million people, according to the Social Weather Station (SWS), a public opinion pollster. Also, during the second quarter, the unemployment mark was 26.6 percent (10.9 million people), still much higher compared to the 24 percent (or some 9.7 million unemployed Filipinos) in December 2011.

SONA: STATE OF NOYNOY'S ACCOUNTABILITY - Pres Aquino will surely brag that the nation's economy grew by 6.4 percent during the first quarter of this year, if only to "cover up" its lethargic 3.7 - percent record in 2011, which was way below the government target of 4.5 - 5.5 percent.

AKSYON TV5: REP. MITOS MAGSAYSAY, BIBIGYAN DAW NG PASANG-AWA NA GRADO SI P-NOY DAHIL WALA PA RING MALINAW NA DIREKSYON ANG PAMUNUAN NI P-NOY. REP. MAGSAYSAY, SINABING TINGNAN MUNAG MAIGI NI P-NOY ANG KANYANG SARILING BAKURAN.

SONA: STATE OF NOYNOY'S ACCOUNTABILITY - Already, the administration labeled the first quarter's economic performance as "inclusive growth" that supposedly benefited most  Filipinos by creating more jobs and putting enough food on the table. But it is a premature, even misleading, claim. In reality, most Filipinos face the constant threat of unregulated spikes in the prices of oil products and basic commodities, as well as in water and electricity rates.
