JULY 28, 2014

Vice President Jejomar Binay; former President Fidel Valdez Ramos; Senate President Franklin M. Drilon and Senate members; Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.. and members of the House of Representatives; Maria Lourdes Sereno Chief Justice and justices of our Supreme Court; the honorable members of the diplomatic concourse; members of the Cabinet; officials of local government; members of the military, police, and other uniformed staff from our range; fellow servants of the people; and my boss, the beloved countrymen:

DO NOT LOOK AT SOURCE

This is my fifth SONA, only one left. There is a saying we assumed: The origin not turned on, not reach the destination. So maybe we ought just please look back:

Previously, we have the situation: It’s like the dream delirium. May ineffective bureaucracy, layers of the overpricing, and bulges, the corruption in the system. Have nominal Sick Man of Asia.” The economy, sluggish; industry, thin. No confidence to invest in the country. The result: the meager jobs generated. Barren whom we hope the Filipino people. Many of us give up and forced to compete with other countries. We just bowed received, we really do expect our government and society.

Please fell of the Philippines due to excessive politicking. Disappeared faith in one another, weaken confidence in our world, and the worse: We lose confidence in ourselves.

At this point we started walking the straight path.

Reinvesting IN THE PEOPLE

As the father of the city, rests on my shoulders, not just those whom our problems and appears to present obligations would also prepare for the future. In every moment, I have to consider the interests and points of view of all. Just think about it: To be watching 200 television channels simultaneously. Need, you know, not only progress, but the origin and destination of the content of each channel. No confused, and need, a response to any questions, suggestions, and criticisms, and answer it, before. Do not submit the easy work, and only man I am, sometimes, having a slight dinng doubt.

But my whole inside because obviously my main goal: The government should restore its focus, is to serve the people at all times.

Not saying we sentiment: Give a man a fish, and mapapakain him one day. Teach him how to fish, and his lifelong mapapakain himself. Examples TESDA. In TrainingforWork Scholarship Program, the DAP contributed 1.6 billion pesos.Nakapagpatapos please beneficiary of 223,615. 66 percent, or its equivalent, 146,731 graduates working now. That in turn left Pong 34 percent, helped also by TESDA to find a job. See this: All of the TESDA scholar Please, listed the names and other data, which you can confirm.

If we divide the number of graduates granted funds, falls of 7,155 pesos naipuhunan government for the training of each scholar. BPO sector, the low income 18,000 pesos per month. Every year, he will earn 234,000 pesos. Give man maximum tax deduction, the income tax would he per year: 7,900 pesos. Ie, the state invested 7,155 pesos, the first year only, revoked, has flown yet. This, and all of our scholar ibubuwis until he retired, will turn to his countrymen the same time. This is the good governance: With the right intentions, methods, and results. All winnings.

Let’s hear the story of two TESDA graduate:

We will also initiated the Expanded Conditional Cash Transfer Program in June 2014, with funds 12.3 billion pesos. Now, as the state supported until it reaches 18 years old benepisyaryo.Bakit? Please based learning because of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 40 percent extra wages of high school graduates, compared with only completed grade school.

Investing me to talk about the most important resource of the country: the people. Validating this data NEDA. According to them, the 27.9 percent poverty incidence in our first semester of 2012, down 24.9 percent toward the same period in 2013. Pong The 3 percentage points is equivalent to about 2.5 million Filipinos being set loose on the poverty line. True turn worthy of serious attention the poorest in society. But we will not stop there: This increased our ability, we try not to turn under the poverty line all escape.

 Regaining TRUST THROUGH good governance Please come to the society in a broken home like we malisan. To make matters worse, almost do not have the equipment and materials to repair the defect. In recent years, the pakikiambag each mapagkapwang Philippine shaping our equipment and materials, such as budget solely dedicated to the needs of citizens, and four successive years we passed on time. These include laws which increase the benefits coming from our boss.
ECONOMIC achievements Here unfair system began the restoration of the vitality of our economy. We save for the proper management of funds. We expandable range of services without raising taxes, but the Sin Tax Reform that aim to alleviate the social vices.We worked to have the ability to finance projects implemented, enforced, and enforced on us. We intensified tax collection: collection from 1.094 trillion pesos in 2010, we raised it to 1.536 trillion in 2013. Organized our management of our debt. The result: Get off our debt to GDP ratio; The money must be paid to the former interest, went to social services. Obligations as well as most are simply inherited, we also met. Examples: 1993 or more during President Ramosnang set the obligation to recapitalize the Central Bank of the Philippines in the amount of 50 billion pesos for doing his duty. Is funded by the administration before us, 10 billion pesos. 40 billion deficit left to us; We have put paid to it.We earned funds mayrooon us now, so please do not just say maaatim to dissipate it. If you choose the right leaders that our boss would exceed more later our achievements, because the big problem we deducted, and more exalted their sources.Why are more high? During 2013, for the first time, we gained investment grade status from Moody‘s, Fitch, and Standard and Poor’sthe three most prominent credit rating agency in the world. In their review of our macroenomic fundamentals and governance, reduced riskong recorded, so tumingkad the confidence of investors. Please not yet satisfied the Standard and Poor‘s: In May only, so the new upgrade they gave us. The po accompanied it: Given that we are investment grade, government borrow cheaper funds for programs and projects, more attracted to invest in our country, and faster benefits enjoyed by Filipinos.

If so please susumahin all investments entered the Philippine Economic Zone Authority since its establishment in 1995, 42 percent see it enter the 4 years of our tenure. The remaining 58 percent, it took another 15 years for the administration wrestle. Confidence us now: before we step down, we still make myself or hihigitan this amount. Director General Lilia de Lima: Thank you’ve done, and still do, in achieving this success.

Really yet to take off our economy and country, and we are offering that much more lofty aspirations. We inherited that seems grounded aviation industry: we imputed significant safety concerns, the International Civil Aviation Organization or ICAO, given the downgrade of the United States Federal Aviation Administration, and put the European Union‘s restriction of our local carriers.

During 2013, which abolished the significant po ICAO safety concerns in the Philippines. In the same year, followed by allowing the European Union to re-fly Philippine Airlines to Europe, so directly without makakabiyahe Filipinos from Manila to London. Probably so please, obedience to the Cebu Pacific because they are also granted permission by the EU this 2014. This year also, inupgrade the United States Federal Aviation Administration in the Philippines Category 1. Consequently, when you add up the routes into the United Unidos.Sa field of tourism and trade, greatly increase the Aetas of our airlines flight to another country.

Come to our reports on the amount of businessmen and tourists willing bumisitang our country, missing the trip to it. Good news then please upgrades: prolong the trip, so meet this problem. And the continued cooperation of the CAAP and our local carriers, Mom have attracted more tourists and businessmen in the next year. Wins are dependent on the tourism sector, the people of Filipino victory. Please governance is the root of this success. What we are thankful that the Director General William Hotchkiss, the CAAP, and our local carrier for your efforts.

Really at the center of the global stage the Philippines. Its just pong last May, we demonstrated their success holding the World Economic Forum on East Asia in the country. We reveal the APEC Summit be held here next year we achieved the prosperity and opportunities for all accompanied it. No doubt: More open for business to that please the Philippines.

Besides that please maaliwals entrepreneurship, we are also promoting harmonious relations between our workers and companies.

Consider this: Since 2010, remains less than ten per year as the strike by the National Conciliation and Mediation Board. Please be one positive result of promoting our Single Entry Approach or DOLE Sena, which passed the 30day conciliationmediation nakahaing the labor cases. The beautiful of all: the 152 notices of strike and lockout in 2013, just one push through strikes. This is the lowest in the history of the DOLE.

INFRASTRUCTURE We also know: To continue to lift the economy and opening time, you need infrastructure. It attracts entrepreneurs, speed up the flow of products and services, and guarantees that we can keep pace with other markets in the world.Huge was really a change: Beyond double the budget for infrastructure, from 200.3 billion pesos in 2011, was 404.3 billion pesos this 2014. Reminders please: No tax unless we add the Sin Tax Reform to meet health, while also maintained our allowable deficit, and continued down our debt to GDP ratio.Malaki please its effect, because not only grow the fund: yet we reduced the leakage in the system, so we are confident more worth every peso spent by state.Under the leadership of DPWH Secretary Babes Singson: No the overpricing, the tumor drug. Daubed the holes in the old system, and leveled the agency process. A simple example please its removal of Letter of Intent in the bidding process. Please then because, used as tools kuntsabahan, when you find out who they bidders of the project, given the space conspiracy. One more: The documents required of bidders: 5 Thanks, from the previous 20. Process faster, and less opportunity to solicit osuhol lubricant. The result: Nearly 28 billion pesos naisalbang funds, and premature implementation of future projects. Thus, with Sec. Babes and generates DPWH: thank you.Hanep am really: In conjunction with the savings of the DPWH, the laid, napaayos, expanded, or they have been built road since we assumed, reached 12,184 kilometers. Imagine: it equals 4 road connects Laoag to Zamboanga City. National roads only please them; not yet off the local farm-tomarket roads or tourism roads.Public-Private Partnership program please turn: from December 2011 to June, attended the award and logged seven PPP projects of your government; The cost: about 62.6 billion pesos. In four years we have a straight course, we exceeded the combined six solicited only approved PPP projects from the past three administrations.The size was really a distinction that now. Said Secretary Cesar Purisima that, previously, the Philippines can not attract the investors. Previously, the government itself on offering the left and the right incentives, such as providing commercial development rights, subsidies, and other guarantees. Now, reverse the situation. Fierce competition of who uunahang companies; they are willing to pay to get the privilege to build the infrastructure we need. Example: In the MactanCebu International Airport Passenger Terminal Building, a premium the government to reach over 14 billion pesos; the NAIA Expressway Project Phase 2, the government earned premiums of 11 billion pesos. Re: Good governance is the root of all this.

We also see TPLEX. Because this road, convenient to the trip to Tarlac Rosales, Pangasinan. According to them, the part to Urdaneta, to be completed before the end of 2014. During the next year, take it raw the way up to La Union.

The infrastructure nailed long commitment, we also isinasakongkreto pong. The Aluling Bridge, built in 1978 on the concept, open to the public. The Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, which is part of the Metro Manila Expressway project since the seventies decade, we launched in January. With the passing of Osmeña Highway, see, I told you how quickly build columns for TernateNasugbu Road dito.Ang, which were started in 1994 lay the plans to be 100 percent complete today. The Basilan Circumferential Road, which is year 2000 more under construction, soon to also finish. Some of them please just do not have the infrastructure plan to bequeath as a problem; Instead, now, begins to take our Boss.

NEDA BOARDapproved PROJECTS Again, due to good management, have more ability to meet, become the problem was just arriving. For example: water. We knew while growing population and rising economy, more water will be needed in the next year. By then please study, may have a lack of water in Metro Manila coming 2021. Everyone concerned not wait drought: The solution really educated experts, we poapproved Left Dam Project Quezon, and the arrangement of lines of Angat Dam. Good solution than please take water from the underground aquifer, which is more easily enter saltwater. Moreover, if we simply bound the aquifer, even accelerate the sinking of land, which in turn causes flooding.Please conjunction with the dam for Metro Manila and neighboring towns we support the people of the province. Approved as the Water District Development Sector Project, under the Local Water Utilities Administration.Maybe me, as you have heard that our biggest PPP project, the Laguna Lakeshore Dike Expressway, which opened as the bidding before the end of 2014. Lots of benefits it can bring. First, reduce the flooding. Now please, the clout of 12.5 meters above the water in the lake, certainly, babahain the community around it. The solution: dikeng height over 15 meters. Second: Clean water in Laguna Lake. Third: Reduced traffic. Over the embankment, there expressway, which babagtas Los Baños to Manila. Completed the C6 road that connects San Jose Del Monte, we also have one way to cross the metropolis without needing to pass through EDSA. In pakikituwang ngpribadong sector, the obligation we here just right of way; percentage of the reclaimed land mare ipapambayad the winning bidder. Because of this, we get our needs, while also reduced our costs.Please just a few examples of projects that queued to bring benefits to our Boss. Much more: Approved as NEDA Board Laoag City Bypass Link Road Project; Cebu Bus Rapid Transit Project; and the LRT Line 1 South Extension and Line 2 East Extension. The people of Palawan also: Except for projects in Puerto Princesa Airport, as you watch the Busuanga Airport. Already please go signal as the drying phase one of the modern Clark Green City in Capas, Tarlac, that Mom will serve as the center of commerce and industry, not only in Central Luzon, but in the greater nation. At the end please, we ambition Clark Green City, be it far wider Bonifacio Global City. The former imbalance, be rich in opportunities.

The excess energy of the storm, many LGUs paralyzed because they do tinamaan.Natangay please as our prepositioned relief goods, so you really had to come from elsewhere help. Further become heavy possession of aid, because failing infrastructure: No electricity, impassable roads, and almost all ngtruck and heavy equipment that our first responder pinakaapektadong the damaged area.

Mr. Yuri Afanasiev of the United Nations Development Programme that po said: We have never seen a recovery happen so quickly. And many of us have been in many different disasters.”

Bubunuin long time to eventually rise to serious accidents. Haiti, two years have passed since the earthquake, many are still in evacuation centers. The brothers and sisters in Indonesia, it took eight years to be able to recover the tsunami in Aceh. America itself is, we said it took eight years to return to the usual after Hurricane Katrina was swipe.

Because the more we determining exactly when and where the effects of the storm hit, now please, napapaaga the preparation and warning our LGUs. Earlier also naililikas their citizens. If proper forecasting, we tatambalan more efficient LGU, indeed pong saved many lives. In Albay recently beaten by Typhoon Glenda, no historical died because of the storm, thanks to the good governance of Governor Joey Salceda. And if I can do a province that he indeed seems highway storm, why we suspicion so it all?

MILITARY AND POLICE

We also discuss the security. Please we aware of the challenges in the country, and we also know we need the expensive equipment. Now please, I appreciate you report: Continuous modernization of the AFP. We obtained the brand new 8 Sokol Combat Utility Helicopters, three109 AgustaWestland helicopters, and the first landing craft utility ship made ​​right here in our country, the BRP Tagbanua. Please come as four refurbished UH1 helicopters and navy cutters 2. Its turn last May, also inaugurated the stateofthe-art Command Center of the Naval Forces West in Palawan.

The bonus else: for proper procurement process and constant supervision fund, we have savings of more than 1.2 billion pesos, which we ipinambibili that the more guns.

Ididiin po: Brand new and high quality all the rifles it. Do we know the day: exhausted of funds, not in accordance with the specifications here, we need to be purchased Kevlar Helmets. Rather than the U.S., in other countries they buy. Has been convicted po for it. As a judge allegedly involved, ended the investigation mandated by the Supreme Court, and we await their decision.

We continue the pursuit of the enemy state atmasasamang elements for the crimes they have committed. Examples of all: late to the Chairman and Secretary General of the NPA on March. Please also restored the order normalidad and 31 provinces previously interrupted by the NPA.

Please also changing the face of our police. Proof This covers 30 police, led by Inspector Charity Galvez, who defeated the estimated 250 NPA rush to their polling place in 2011. On March so please, 4 junior police boldly engage against Hammer Gang Mall of Asia. Well that po’t police reached the 1:1 ratio to pistol, so that wellbeing issued new guns our rookie policewomen. Previously, the police neglected; Now, they are cared for by the state, and does not it matches the pure and attentive service.

Let’s listen to our brave police:

It also pong June, became consecutive highprofile killings. Arrested some people involved in the murder of Mayor Ernesto Balolong, businessman Richard King, and has followed that lead is also good at killing our police racecar driver Pastor Ferdinand. Please do not worry: we claim justice as a whole, not just parts. So apart from the act of arrest, we continue gathering evidence against other suspects. We will all guilty.

Pinapaigting we still care security of the people. Starting the 16th of June this year, we implemented NCRang Operation Nets. After we triple the number of checkpoints and perform various operations, the results: 862 vehicles and 29 firearms were confiscated us. We‘ve serve 587 warrants of arrest, which resulted in the arrest of 410 suspects. We also returned Oplan TAT to ensure that the licensee holding the gun is only fitting. 28,714 houses in NCR kinatok police for this operation.

Before we implement the Oplan Net, from January to the second week of June, the murder and homicide in NCR, up to 31 cases per week. In just five weeks of operation, the murder and homicide: down to just 22 cases per week. 29 percent decrease recorded equivalent of 9 prevented killing us every week. And NCR on just about this. If we promulgated the pension reform, and makakakalap that we have sufficient funds for additional police and for the resumption of planned equipment purchases, as able to expand Sec. Mar Roxas Operation Nets, to make the whole country safer. Under the DAP that would please the fund equipment, but because it falls obligate before the Supreme Court, you have allowed us to find the source of additional funds.

Righting THE SYSTEM TO REGAIN TRUST

True: Trust is the foundation of good governance. Confidence maaasikaso all hit or be hit by the storm; confidence each day of work, you can safely mauuwian the family. Lalamangan do not trust your leaders; confidence will be your government, your partner, especially if you’re the nadedehado. Confident that the responsible abuser, and corrected the processes and institutions used to rob you. Confident that if you follow the right, you get what you should. The return of confidence you: That is our means of reform.

CUSTOMS Reform

Example: In the Customs, which in turn really tested our patience pong last year. Became clear to us: Reset button solution. Let us now build a new office to evaluate and make effective policies Customs. We appointed a new commissioner, deputy commissioner new six, at the same time as 40 other reliable individuals to implement our reforms. We also returned to the correct position of the employee. Totohanang banning umaastang guard counter, or warehouseman making examiner.

Many of the sacrifices to please fix the Customs. This includes staff from other departments, we asked to switch to Customs because we trust their integrity. Who is it really looking headaches, especially given there is no guarantee of success? Have deferred their promotion. There were also expressed doubt for fear that they return the syndicate. But ultimately, they responded to our call to serve. Just fitted personally like to thank all the staff it, led by Commissioner Sunny Sevilla.

Please certify us: With commitment and solidarity, can purify even a prolonged period institutions polluted by corruption. Please proof it‘s good news that we receive: From January to April 2014, climbed 22 percent Customs cash collections compared to the same period in 2013. Across to the collection in the first four months of the year: 117 billion pesos.

I say turn the ongoing rumaraket: I know you are not immune to fear and shame. Makukunsensya in you if youif you pity the admitted drug addicted to you, or farmers deprived of proper income. In my opinion: When suffice that the evidence raised against you, you Bilibid next assignment.

Agrarian Reform

If you talk about the beginning of the reforms provoke widespread prosperity, also fitted Pong I reported to you about the events agrarian reform.

Now let you know, and clearly the law: you must first define and can not redistribute land. But the bitter, handed us the jagged data. 1913 have already begun the Cadastral Survey, which determine the boundaries of the land coverage of every city, town, and province in the Philippines.

Another problem: the previous administration had placed the distribution of land allocated as soon as the governmentowned land, and agreed to land owners and farmers. The left in our country are many complications, and root on a long debate and litigation.

Pong also added that the complex problem situations in the ARMM. The land of the ARMM is estimated at 1.5 million hectares. But the land whom we noted that, at 2.9 million hectares dahilsa layers of land claims. Please wondering that Governor Mujiv Hataman as ARMMhow so bare ground?

Please do not have the intention to pass the problem to follow us, for the root only new problems and jerk as agrarian reform.

In 2015, after 102 years, finishing as the Cadastral Survey. This year, we also served again in Congress a bill to extend the filing of the Notice of Coverage, not entirely completed immediately because of the problems we had first solusyonan. Time filed the bill, we hope it will be passed soon.

PEACE

If so please trust is concerned, it should also include the Bangsamoro. After a long period of conflict and negotiation napupurnadang, nanatin restored trust. Please proof this: Last March, signed the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.

But this beginning of our progress on the path of comprehensive development in Mindanao. Nothing found makakatangging pong leave the ARMM. Would we give equal opportunities to all Filipinos, therefore there should boost up, so you can also catch up on our fellow border. For example, we suggest the budget for 2015, 17.5 billion pesos from the DPWH sabudget reserved for the infrastructure of the ARMM.

Please pinapanday we present the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law. Please ask us understanding our Congress about it. Important pong be thorough we paghimay per provisions laid. To the best of our ability, we push a bill that makes sense, fair and acceptable to all.

If so please promulgated the Bangsamoro Basic Law before the end of the year and apply the necessary plebesito, given half years Bangsamoro Transition Authority to show positive changes. If delayed turn, naturally Pong also shortened the time to verify that the correct path of peace we travel.

Promises fulfilled

So many that allowed us to reach for the trust, and we do not intend to break this trust. The government you now: there’s a word. I have not please be invoiced the vows we carried on straight roads; maybe we just informed nascent own bank. Difficult but also so we do not mention, probably because waiting will say that we do nothing. Thanks so organizations niyo me give some examples: Trabaho’t opportunities for many Filipinos, created and still creating. In fact, from April 2013 to April 2014: 1.65 million in gains in the number of Filipinos lack nagtatrabaho.Minanang books, chairs, classrooms, filled; While the new requirements for K to 12, filled out as well. 1:1 police-topistol ratio, there already. Modernization of the Armed Forces occurs. Lasting peace in Mindanao, surging. Lift our economy, yet continuous.

Simultaneous fulfillment of our dreams: general health, classroom, work, ports, roads, airports, security, peace. The recovered our national pride, combined with the recognition of the world in the new form of the Philippines. The Ark of the people from the sweat of the people, spent just for their sake.

Please listen to us again another one of our Boss:

pronouncements

Now that everyone: The problem whom, had been resolved. Being there, act. And the problems yet to come, preparing well. I believe: If we can keep your trust, we masosolusyonan them.

Let’s take the situation into energy. Please do that to make sure we have all met the growing needs of the country. Despite this, there really pong event we expected, which could provoke a problem next year. Example: We need to wrestle with the losses due to outages for maintenance of the old plant, the sudden cessation of operations due to wear, and a delay in the implementation of the new plant.

Do not be forgotten, with the threat of El Niño also affect the capacity of the hydro powerplant, and exalt more demand for electricity. If our households that, we strengthened with electric fan or air conditioning for warm weather, especially To the industry and business. It’s not as simple as going to the store and saying, direction to purchase 600 megawatts of generator please, and please install well tomorrow.”

We claim: complete preparation for the event to happen we can not paralyze the worstcase scenario. Should, even in the next year on the problems that arise, there you have proposed solutions for it. That is why I was appointed Secretary ICOT Petilla DOE: Contact you to the Joint Congressional Power Commission, the Energy Regulatory Commission, the industry, as consumers, to increase our ability to address the energy

RICE PRICES + AGRICULTURE

I know also what affected us in fits Boss intermittent increases in the prices of rice. It seems the truth is the report: There are a few bars that kept the zigzag hoarder just rice, so when prices rise, they sell stocks to earn a nonsense.

It can not. If they think they wais, makes better approach your government. The immediate solution: import more rice supply in the market, reducing the price, and keep it reasonably level, to sink the exploits of Filipino.

In November last year, we started to import 500,000 metric tons to serve as aid to supply pinanipis the recent storm, and all come in March. It also February, the Council approved the NFA we import additional 800,000 metric tons as filling our buffer stocking requirement, and 360,750 metric tons that it came in July; arrival of September, lands altogether. Approved in July as the immediate importation of 500,000 metric tonnes of rice through open bidding. A standby authority as the NFA to import another 500,000 metric tons addition, in preparation for the impact of the disaster on the yield and the price of rice.

When we arrived imported addition, mapupuwersa now sell the rice hoarder hidden in their barn. The hoarder this: If you want to makipagmatigasan, go ahead, try your state. You just remember: Six months’ duration prior to decompose the stock in the warehouse you. Surely you lose money when the market drowned extra rice. You go against the Filipinos; We in turn, promotes the interests of every Filipino. We’ll see who wins.

Besides the investigation of the alleged hiding of NFA rice, we also investigated all can nagkuntsabahan agencies. Investigating the doubt to the employee and charged mapakulong future.

Once the pursuit abusive, as the project continues to take care of us in the agricultural sector. We do attractive asset planting rice. Now let you know that our older farmers, so great help in food security if we encourage young people to enter this profession.

Please provide us the modern farming equipment for efficient planting and harvesting. From 2011 to May 2014, we distributed to the 4,628 total production machineries, postproduction machineries 11362, and 105 rice mills in different farmer‘s associations. Please help, reduces wasted yield of our farmers. Furthermore, we pinapaunlad irrigation, we builder of farm-tomarket roads, and promoting training programs that maximized their profits.

SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET BUDGET + + CLARIFICATORY legislation

Talk Now let the budget. The Executive, suggests the project; Congress also approved it. Please just that we need to stop some, for sure they following the decision of the Supreme Court regarding the Disbursement Acceleration Program. I bet you are one with the belief in the hall should not be denied the benefit of our citizens, and that it should get them soon.

So please: We propose the passage of a supplemental budget for 2014, so do not turn delayed our program atproyekto. At the same time please, we are also calling on the cooperation of Congress, to pass a Joint Resolution to clarify the definitions and ideas still somewhat controversial and other issues that you simply legislature, as the written law, clarify.

On the first day of work after po SONA, we served in Congress proposed 2.606 trillion pesos 2015 National Budget. As always, it developed along with the people, using appropriate strategies appropriate funds only where it actually deliver benefits. We are hoping the cooperation of our legislators to ratify it, as the main instrument in creating opportunities for Filipino sambayanang.

Listen Now let now a beneficiary of Alternative Learning System program of the DepEd. Vivid proof of the time he served the under good management.

PERORATION

Please him, and the more he benepisyaryongtulad, the natatabunan umiingay the orchestra whenever negativity in the news. It is noisy, just closing your mind and live in own world and reality. While seeing the changes in society, which happens to be our expected: increasing in frequency, as a warming, and the more intense they attack us. While clarifies the benefits of reform, were harder to maneuver hope they succeed, so they sow doubt. Desperate to them.

Why then Do they mad? Let’s take their motivation. For businesses made ​​their position: if we fixed the system, they lose the opportunity mansamantala. Only natural that they oppose us. This in turn no other purpose but to overthrow the government: You just have to increase their range much suffering, and lost confidence in the system. Now repaired and the system met the suffering, decreases that they can not recruit, so puffs puffs their number. Naturally they also negate us. The loudest who oppose us do not want a transformation, because they exploited and benefited from the old routine.

I think that this po angating situation: For the people have long been trapped on an island where there is a single store. Given no choice, they napapataas price whenever they want, and indeed we also abused pong. Please instructed me itimon the boat to the other island states, where more shops, more choice, better life and greater opportunity. Please course, operates stores in our island, we do not drifted, because they will lose abused. All, they will do to prevent our crossing to the other side: they both just say also there; did not really change it. They bind us to the dock, our boat bubutasan, makikipagkuntsabahan to mislead our trip.

The true me, so I do not contradict them, but the benefit taumbayang straight road. They counter the farmers in Iloilo, which more than fifty years dreamed of proper irrigation, and is now seen as doing Jalaur River Multipurpose Project. They counter the many students do not have to huddle in the classroom. Counter to get a job because they are trained by TESDA; naililikas against early during the storm due to improved PAGASA; against informal settlers who had kept the woods for housing programs; against the poor getting drug free at public hospitals; against the troops with modern equipment so more confident to defend the town; against the Moro and indigenous horizon peace. Boss, you counter they please.

Please true that, nothing else we stand, we attack. We trained a negative commentator greeted at breakfast, lunch insult, insult to dinner, and midnight snack maker on as. Now that I am President pong, still going against the changes. I think, even in my weight seats, they still can not stop.

I remembered an old woman I spoke before the campaign. He said to me, Noy, be careful you. Makakabangga You have.” True his warning. Fearless but to confront the nakakabanggang it, because I know: they are only a few, and that so far we have. We are stronger makisagwan ready for change. We succeed in this war, because we are on the right. We dreamed, we started, we tried, we nakabuwelo, and now, so please umaarangkada to Filipinos. As would be worth the sacrifice tired and we know it we will continue you started.

You are the face at the intersection; This can lead you to decide whether the changes. Please note just say, this is my fifth SONA; only one left. In 2016, you choose a new leader of our country. Me all: To continue and even accelerate further the transformation of our society enjoy, there is only one basis in choosing replace me: Who is not the slightest doubt that we will continue the transformation carried out?

You’re the boss, you have the power, you are making changes, so you will also continue it. Nasasainyo how to write the history of this period. It may be remembered as the top of our victory, just as good principles wasted. But Pong far better if you remember the achievements we as a beginning of our long journey towards the realization of even more lofty aspirations.

Please provoked in some group that I run, they told me, we do not expect you to solve all the problems of our country for six years. But you should start. You also see where we came from, and also to see beyond beyond our dreamed in the beginning that we enjoy today.

Pinapanday to systems where we really level the playing field; where following the rules is not often wanted paroonan; where there is real competition nagbubukal opportunities and comprehensive development; which all have kakahayang handle his own fate.

Fingertips a society can partake in at the hem; which each recognizes its duty to both the town; where continuous and eternal pakikiambag together and lift people.

Approaching us was really in our future aspirations, where justice reigns, and there is nothing really pong.

This is the result of the reform, and we fought for it, and still fighting for: not maintaining the habit, but to change the system to benefit all.

Boss: You gave me the opportunity to lead the transformation. If I DENIED niyo challenges presented to me, so I also said that I will help prolong your suffering, and I did maaatim conscience. If I turned the time, though I’ve also turned my father and mother, and all they sacrificed for us; That did not happen. To step straight course, chose the good and right; tumotoo to me, and I also tumotoo you.

The transformation we are experiencing today, we are able to guide the Lord forever. As full faith and our trust, and we serve as each other’s strengths, we continue to prove that “the Filipino is worth dying for,” the Filipino is worth living for,” and I also added please: The Filipino is worth fighting for.”

Boss, you make the transformation we enjoy. You are the key of the progression of all the positive changes we reach. Totally trust me: On the scene whether or not I proceed to the Philippines he must go.

Thank you.
