SONA of PGMA

Fortunately, I was able to watch the SONA of our President. i really admire her inspite of the difficulties she had gone through all these years (or on her term as the president), why? it's because she wantslong term solutions to our problems and not the other way around. but why do people keep on protesting ? as far as i can remember they were also the people that put her on that position when president estrada was accused of corruption etc ? hayz.. on my part this is really confusing! so much with that (i was run by my emotions, hehe)

anyway, back on the topic..

here are some parts of her speech in which she talked about ICT ..


~"Our P 350 million training partnership with the private sector should qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which have a projected demand of one million workers generating $13 billion by 2010." - President Arroyo. ~

-- WOW!! (as in capslock jud xa!) this statement (if ever implemented) will be a great opportunity for us students(the techi people as what sir randy said)who would really want to pursue or practice what we have learned. Also, these will open the doors for our Filipino animators to expose and show other countries their works of art (murag painting, hehe) and if other countries can do it, Philippines can also do it. (Love your own gud). In addition, these would showcase the world-class talents that the Philippines have.


~"Our costly commodity imports like oil and rice should be offset by hard commodities exports like primary products, and soft ones like tourism and cyberservices, at which only India beats us." - President Arroyo.~

-- i can relate the statement above on the company we adopted(MyndTech Management Services). they do websites, softwares (or what PGMA called cyberservices)for the companies in US and Sweden. As what i have said above, this will showcase the world-class talents of our fellow Filipino people.


~"Texting is a way of life. I asked the telecoms to cut the cost of messages between networks. They responded. It is now down to 50 centavos" - President Arroyo~

-- As what the president stated "texting is a way of life" (naka.smile pa jud si GMA that time, tapos palakpakan ang mga tao! toinkz! i was able to watch it man gud, maayo nang ma.imagine pud nato! ahehe) well for me, it's not that helpful enough because telecom networks do have their own style of promoting their networks just like in Talk n' Text, Smart and Globe they have their own unlimited text messages for 1 day for just 15-20 pesos.


to end this, we should not depend on what the government can give us, rather, we'll do our part as the citizens of these country, wag na tayong dumagdag pa sa problema, dapat tayong magkaisa para sa mas ikauunlad ng ating bansa!
