Today, President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III (PNoy) will deliver his last State of the Nation Address (SONA).  Apart from the expected announcement of his anointed one (administration’s presidential candidate), he shall surely enumerate his accomplishments the past 12 months and will definitely present his “to do” list in the remaining months of his term.

The last several months saw the unraveling of grave issues affecting national interest. We convulsed to hear the expose that the mechanism called PDAF was, actually, an unbridled mismanagement of public funds.

 Philippine media helped, the other day, in recording a fact that disturbed my sense of equanimity.
