President Aquino's 2nd SONA

President Benigno C. Aquino (PNoy) delivered his second State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 25, 2011, at the House of Representatives, Quezon City. He mentioned the famous wang-wang (referring to the siren being abusively used by some government officials of previous administration), housing projects for the police force, and how the government will deal with other current problems. He also promoted positivism by thanking government employees instead of criticizing them. Overall, PNoy earned a lot of positive reactions from Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites.
