His Powerful Speech

          The State of Nation Address (SONA) is always addressed by the President of every nation. It is often broadcasted, serves as a means to inform the nation about its present economic, politikal and social condition. SONA is the summarized of the accomplishments and projects of his/her programme of government until the end of his/her term.

          Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the President of Philippines delivered his 3rd State of Nation Address this last Monday, July 23, at the Session hall of the House of Representatives in Batasang Pambansa Complex, in Quezon City, Metro Manila Philippines. In his speech, he mentioned many issues like the "war on drugs," corruption,  and talked about human rights. "Your concern is human rights, mine is human lives." This line he said is my favorite. Human rights allow a person to live with dignity and in peace, away from the abuses that can be inflicted by abusive institutions or individuals. But the fact remains that there are rampant human rights violations around the world, like trafficking. Many Filipinos are arguing with this because of the time they'll waste because of the traffic. But I know that President Duterte stated this because he knows whats the best for his people. There are many people who died because of car accidents, so this can be a solution. But still, this has a negative effect. But life is more important than time. And I know that President Duterte only thinked whats better for his nation.

          This 3rd SONA of President Rodrigo Duterte was his shortest yet, meaningful and I know that these issues he had spoke are whats make the best for his nation and citizens. So, we must also respect our President and we must look forward for more projects and improvement of this nation.
