PNOY and GMA SOMA

The assignment asked for us to do was to compare and contrast two SONA's of two presidents. I chose to compare the SONA's of GMA and PNOY.

First SONA's:

As i read through the first SONA of Gloria Arroyo you could see how promising her words were and how she even had little kids to become proof to what she plans. She promised for more work to be open, a modernized agricultural sector, equality in her administration and all follow up projects of what her ex-president father has done. Gloria had this things in her first sona while PNOY had lots of indirect "arroyo administration" in his speech. At every plans he made began with a problem caused by the past administration. Im not saying this is bad but this paints a clear picture of the difference of the two SONA's. Arroyo mentioned a complete plan package: local and interational, while Pnoy only mentioned plans within the country.

Last SONA's:

The last SONA of GMA was perhaps the most interesting and controversial to me. Why? because there were lots of write-ups about it and i myself can see how she still tried to clean her name as she stated her last SONA. The last SONA of GMA was mostly her clarifying accusations on her administration and answering questions about her presidency. But basically the only important thing that the people were waiting for was whether she runs again for presidency or will she not. If you can read the past last SONA's of other presidents, you would see how they with all pride pass on their seats to their successors and hope for the best to happen. but in GMA's last SONA she mentioned only once about her successor but still with a follow-up of an attack to her ctitics. Now we know that PNOY has not yet had a last SONA but as to how i predict or see it, i have a feeling that he would of course mention about his fulfillment and challenges he has experienced and how he would proudly pass on his administration to another one.
