EMPHASIS ON HIS ADMIN’S GOAL TO BUILD A CULTURE OF ACCOUNTABLE AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNANCE (BUT DIDN’T MENTION FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT – WHY?)

― GRAFT, PLUNDER & POLL SABOTAGE CASES HAVE BEEN FILED VS GMA (BUT WEAK PREPARATION)

― CJ CORONA’S CONVICTION AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE― REFORMS IN PUBLIC WORKS PROCESSES(DPWH SAVINGS SO FAR:

P10.6B)

THE PRIMARY ASPECT OF THE AQUINO ADMINISTRATION’S JOB GENERATION STRATEGY IS BUILDING SUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

BUT PPP IS PROGRESSING AT A SNAIL’S PACE; ONLY RECENTLY HAS THE GOV’T INTENSIFIED DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS FOR OTHER PROJECTS , AFTER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR

QRT POL CHART 7

AUGUST 2, 2012

― ESSENTIALLY PUT MINING ON HOLD― EXPECTED TO SLOW THE DEV’T OF MINES― WILL DEPRIVE LOCAL PEOPLE OF LIVELIHOOD― LOSS OF TAXES = FEWER SCHOOLS & HEALTH CLINICS BUILT― REDUCTION IN EXPORTS = FEWER DOLLAR EARNINGS FOR THE

GOV’T

ISSUANCE OF EO ON MINING: SUPPOSEDLY TO BETTER UTILIZE NATURAL RESOURCES TO UPLIFT THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF GENERATIONS OF FILIPINOS

BUT

SO MINING FIRMS WILL START TO LOOK ELSEWHERE, SEARCH FOR COUNTRIES WITH MORE ATTRACTIVE POLICIES

THE LOSS ISN’T JUST THE SHORT TERM WHILST REVENUE SHARING BILL IS PENDING IN CONGRESS, IT’S LONG TERM

COUNTRY IS DEPRIVED OF THE MULTIPLIER EFFECTS

QRT POL CHART 8

AUGUST 2, 2012

THE SPEECH HIGHLIGHTED THE ADMINISTRATION’S PUSH FOR ENHANCED CITIZENS’ PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNANCE

MORE ILLNESSES COVERED BY PHILHEALTHTYPE ‘Z’ OR CATASTROPHIC ILLNESSES ARE NOW COVERED

BUT THE NETWORK OF HOSPITALS AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR Z ILLNESSES SHOULD BE EXPANDED (ONLY 19 GOV’T HOSPITALS SO FAR)

THERE’S GREAT EMPHASIS ON EDUCATION AND HEALTHSO THE PHILIPPINES COULD CATCH UP WITH ITS MDG TARGETS

66,800 SHORTAGE IN CLASSROOMS WILL BE ELIMINATED BY END-2013; THE 2.6 MILLION BACKLOG IN CHAIRS ADDRESSED BY END-2012; AND A 1:1 TEXTBOOK-STUDENT RATIO WILL SOON BE ACHIEVED

OTHER KEY POINTS OF SONA 2012:

QRT POL CHART 9

AUGUST 2, 2012

HE SAID WE WILL FIND A RESOLUTION TO THE SCARBOROUGH STANDOFF THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO ALL.

CHINA INSISTS ON ITS NINE-DASH LINE, THE PHILIPPINES ON INTERNATIONAL LAW, PARTICULARLY UNCLOS –THE STANDOFF WILL NOT BE RESOLVED SOON.

THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON THE PROPER FORUM WITHIN WHICH THE STANDOFF SHOULD BE DISCUSSED.

CHINA INSISTS ON BILATERAL NEGOTIATIONS, THE PHILIPPINES WANTS MULTILATERAL DISCUSSION, INSISTING ON BRINGING THE MATTER BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL COURT.

QRT POL CHART 10

AUGUST 2, 2012

NO ALTERNATIVES PROPOSED – HOW ABOUT JOINT EXPLORATION/EXPLOITATION OF RESOURCES? SHARE THE WEALTH

ONE RECOURSE FOR THE PHILIPPINES ―

CONVINCE ITS WESTERN ALLIES AND ASEAN MEMBER-STATES WITH INTEREST OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA THAT CHINESE CONTROL OVER THE AREA COULD MEAN A CURTAILING OF FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION

CHINA COULD LIMIT PASSAGE THROUGH STRATEGIC SHIPPING ROUTES IN THE AREA WHERE HALF OF THE WORLD’S TONNAGE IN SHIPPING PASS THROUGH.

THE GOV’T NEEDS TO MAKE SURE ALLEGATIONS VS GMA ARE BACKED BY SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, AS THESE CASES WILL BE FOUGHT IN A COURT
