By now, surely our readers have seen, heard or read the State of the Nation Address that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) gave at the Batasan Pambansa last Monday and I’m also sure that the 44 percent unhappy Filipinos according to the June 24-July 8 survey of Pulse Asia were unimpressed by her SONA. Like what we’ve said before, this survey isn’t telling us anything new… that the exact same number of Filipinos who did not vote for President Arroyo in the 2004 elections still don’t like her.
