Promised Alteration

Image result for Duterte's State of the nations address cartoons


         State of the Nation Address 2018 broke the tradition of highlighting the previous year accomplishments but instead the iron-fist leader addressed as a "Father of Filipinos" and focused on desire for genuine and meaningful change for the people.
     
      His SONA is a very witty one for me. He had discussed the issues we are facing right now. His war on drugs that has been relentless and chilling. And he said that illegal drugs wasted away lives, dysfunctionalized families and ruined relationships. And I agree with him. Illegal drugs are the main cause of crimes in our country. Innocents that have been injured with the operations and lives that has been taken because of the war on drugs. Corruption is also an issue in our country. Because of politicians that wanted more wealth, they tend to get money in what we call the "Kaban ng Bayan" and President Duterte stated that corruption must stop for the betterment of our nation. 
   
     War is not an option. Yes, war is not an option, we should live a simple but happy life free from wars. President Duterte have seen the horror, devastation, and horror toll. He wanted to make peace for our country and prove that it's more fun in the Phippines. Amidst that he is our president, I am also impressed that he recognized our brave soldiers and police who died fighting for our country to have peace. His admiration towards our Filipino migrant workers for their selflessness and courage in enduring hardships being away to their families had my heart soft because my father is an Overseas Filipino Worker. For our dear workers, President Duterte fight against endo. No contractualization, regular job for all. He also expressed his love for the environment because he wants to restore our environmental integrity and also he also wants to have a Department of Disaster Management for us Filipinos to be aware about calamities.  
   
     All in all, i admire our President Duterte because he had stated all the issues and he tries to find ways on how to solve them. And I wish that we Filipinos would follow the rules our government would implement and be a responsible citizen. The Father of Filipinos is doing what he thinks will be for the betterment of our country. For we worry about the present and he worry about our future.
