Senators hope for inclusive growth agenda in Aquino's SONA

MANILA, Philippines - Several senators are looking forward to hearing President Benigno Aquino III's agenda on inclusive growth in his fourth State of the Nation Address on Monday.

Senator Loren Legarda said the Aquino administration has made headway in building a "strong economy" and there has been "significant improvement" in areas covering the basic needs and rights of Filipinos.

"I look forward to hearing how the 7.8-percent economic growth will translate to better support for the working middle class, more opportunities for the marginalized sectors, and better services for the poor," she said.

Meanwhile, Senator Alan Cayetano said he expects the President to talk about the administration's accomplishments in the past and plans for the future in the SONA.

"Although we have already discussed the trickle-down effect of the economy and how the people will feel the benefits of the economic growth, I believe they're working on the programs and policy directions that would not only continue the growth of the economy but have some interventions that will assure that the trickle down of the economy is felt," he said.

Aquino's SONA on Monday will also mark the beginning of the 16th Congress, which will be joined by six neophyte senators: Bam Aquino, Grace Poe, Sonny Angara, Cynthia Villar, Nancy Binay, and JV Ejercito.

Records from the Office of the Legislative Bills and Index Service showed a total of 895 bills have been filed for the 16th Congress as of July 18.

Among the 16th Congress, priority bills are the proposed additional amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the proposed National Land Use Act, the Magna Carta of the Poor Bill, and the Philippine Maritime Zones Act.

MANILA, Philippines — Protesters burned an effigy of President Benigno Aquino III and egged anti-riot police to mark Monday’s opening of the 16th Congress where Aquino is expected to deliver his 4th State of the Nation Address later in the day.

Led by the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) in Southern Tagalog, the militants hurled eggs at a police blockade near Ever Gotesco in Commonwealth after burning an effigy of Aquino.

The eggs are supposed to symbolize Aquino’s “failing grade” of his three-year leadership, the militants said.

The effigy, dubbed as “Pison,” is supposed to depict “a machinery constructed and controlled by Uncle Sam that drives over and kills innocent civilians in its way.”

Professional protesters na mga yan. They will protest against anything and everything as long as dyan sila. Maski bigyan mo ng lupa and pera, they will protest against that as well. heheheh

[black ice]

kaya dapat di na nanalo ung mga leftist party list eh pera ng bayan ang gingamit nyang mga yan para sa kanilang mga protesta nila kaya pag me nakikita akong mga sinusunog nila para na din pera natin ang sinusunog ng mga *#!*&#! na yan.. puro sila kontra sa gobyerno pero pag dating ng calamity di man lang tumulong sa mga kawawa nating kababayan.

Yep. They chant slogans and raise banners against "US Imperialism" but they don't give a shit about China claiming our territorial sea in what is clearly an act of imperialism.

Mahal na daw mag-pagawa ng effigy. That's our taxpayer money they're burning.

Either that, or money extorted by the NPA.

Ultimately, the eggs they threw are worth more than their stupid protest. Which is composed primarily of professional warm-bodies.
