After PNoy has delivered his SONA some activist solons took to the floor waving and brandishing placards denouncing, what else but PNoy and his SONA.

But that was nothing compared to raucous inside the legislative hall of Tokyo or Taipei when lawmakers fight. They threw away chairs and overturned tables.
