DUTERTE 2018 SONA: A REACTION PAPER

-


                reference: https://goo.gl/images/tdhFJK
Short but powerful, this is what I can say about this year's president Duterte's SONA. Short because it only lasted for 48 mins, and powerful because he was able to talk about some issues we are facing right now. The speech was also delivered in a good way because it doesn't contain much cuss words like those on the past. 

 He highlighted that the war from illegal drugs is far from over and will not be sidelined, instead, it will be as relentless and chilling. "Your concern is human rights, mine is human lives,” that was ironic though.  "Illegal drugs wasted away lives, dysfunctionalized families and ruined relationship," he said. 

 “You worry about the present, I am concerned about the future. You worry about the future because you know what crimes can do to the youth of this country. I hope that you concern about the future will not destroy and will cause the destruction of our present.

Without them, maybe I think we are still under the colonization and still seeking for  our own freedom.        People on this generation especially teenagers does not have much ideas about independence day. Instilling nationalism for present and future generations is one of the reasons why we celebrate Araw ng Kalayaan. It reminds us of the nationalism, commitment, an

Sila ang nagbibigay ng kasiyahan at kagalakan sa isang tahanan. Para sa mag-asawa, ang mga anak ay biyaya na ibinigay ng Panginoong Diyos.                 Isang malaking responsibilidad ang pagiging magulang. Wala ng bawian pa, sa madaling salita.
