A man who obviously loves driving, President Benigno Aquino III frequently alludes to his programs using road-based metaphors: tuwid na daan and walang wang-wang being two memorable mottos of his administration. So we were straining to hear what he had to say during the State of the Nation address about the traffic situation in and around Metro Manila.
A banker and a business analyst said they got what they wanted to hear from President Aquino’s State of the Nation Address, or Sona, on Monday, when it came to establishing an economic environment hospitable to fresh investments.
President Aquino is set to make his third State of the Nation Address Monday with the private sector quite optimistic that the economy will continue to grow this year despite the gloom in the global economy due to crises in the United States and Europe.
