President P-noy: His Second SONA This 2011

  

  

  The State of the Nation Address or simply SONA is an important event in the Republic of the Philippines in which the President of the Philippines States or reports what is the status of the nation, and in here, plans of the President are being discussed for the present year.

  Last July 25,2011, our beloved President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino III delivered his second State of the Nation Address at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City.

  Important guests came to witness what Noynoy will state in his SONA, just like Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Vice President Jejomar Binay, the former President Fidel Valdez Ramos and Joseph Ejercito Estrada, Chief Justice Renato Corona and to all of the honorable Judicial Officers of the Judicial Court, the respectable members of the Diplomatic Corps, the bounteous members of Kamara de Representante, the Senate, all of the Local Government Officials, all members of our Councilmen, the members of he militar and police forces, to the people who are serving the fellowmen and especially to the state.

  In the SONA of President P-noy, he first discussed about the issues of "wang-wang." He also gave emphasis about the importation of rice production, house plan for the homeless, Anti- Trafficking, job attainments and also the issue about poverty.

  Most likely, some people are happy to know about the status of our society, but still most are not contented of this changes that had happened.

  Presidnet P-noy and his Officials will still have more things to resolve. This is just the beginning and we are all part of this administration for us to make our country a progressive one.

  Let us give our President a chance for him to prove to his self and to us that he can lead and be an effective President, that he can stand up with his promises. We, Filipinos are hoping for a change.

NUTRITION MONTH CELEBRATION: "ISULONG ANG BREASTFEEDING- TAMA, SAPAT AT EKSKLUSIBO"

  

  In celebrating the 2011 Nutrition Month Celebration that is being held every July 1, the theme for this year is, "Isulong ang BREASFEEDING- Tama, Sapat, at Eksklusibo." The theme focuses how can we ensure especially to the mothers the successful Breasfeeding practices. It aims to encourage all of us to help propel, secure and uphold the right processes of Breastfeeding.

  Through Breastfeeding, we can assure the good health status of the babies. It is proven that breast milk contains over hundreds of nutrients that cannot be created in laboratories and cannot be found in other commercial milks. Breast milk contains calories, water, Carbohydrates, fats, Proteins, Calcium, Sodium, Phosphorus, Vitamin C and Magnesium. Some of these are it's nutrients that are requisite to the healthy production and growth of babies. Breast milk is pure that it does not contain bacteria and it's easier for the babies to digest it. Breastfeeding also include the utility and it's cost. Not like the formulated milks, if you compare the two, not only in their nutrient contents but also their costs and their advantages, you can further conclude that Breast milk has a greater impact to the health  of the babies.

  Let us be all careful regarding to the health of the babies. Let us assure their good health through showcasing and by supporting the practices of Breastfeeding, because through it, we can give the good nutrition that are needed for the babies to grow healthy and wealthy.

Help Our Country, The Philippines

June 8, 2011

Dear President P-noy,

  Lovely greetings for you Sir! I wrote you a letter for me to express my feelings and experiences that I'm into right now regarding on the status of our own country, the Philippines. We all know that you have big responsibilities to do especially in the maintenance of the progressiveness of our country, and you are not the only one who needs to work for our betterment. We! We must all work together us one to uplift the country.

  Devastating problems are what we are experiencing now. Even on the radios and on the televisions, or even on the newspapers; crimes, deadly phenomena, problems in shelter, food supplies, health and other things that we are needing for us to live are now slowly vanishing. I am alarmed, you are alarmed and all of us are alarmed about this kind of situation. We must be awakened.

  One of the hottest issue in the world of Philippine News today is the "Fish Kill" issue. In the affected areas of Batangas & Pangasinan, most of their raised fishes and other marine lives are now in a big danger. The condition of the weather has a big effect to us like, the presence of destructive typhoons, tsunamis and others and also the issue regarding on the Global Warming, because of these problems that we are facing now, we are the ones who are affected. many of our fellowmen are needing and hungering for your help.

  You are elected as our President of our country and not only me, but also the other Filipinos are expecting o lot from you. Since you made a promise and stood up for your statements, we had put our full trust in you. Problems truly comes along our way unexpectedly, but if there's a way to solve things even it's just that petty, then we must think of better solutions to solve bigger problems like these. All of us will work together us one for us to overpass these challenges of life. Let us stand up and hold hands.

Yours Truly,

Karen Angelica Rafanan
