State of the Nation Address. SONA. As old fogeys will tell you, a sitting president’s yearly report to the nation that dates back to “panahon pa ni Quezon,” i.e., Quezon’s time, circa 1935. | MBOpinions READ:
And as anyone who speaks the vernacular knows, “sana” is our wish word. “Sana” it will rain; “sana” it won’t rain. While the incumbent president recites his accomplishments year on year, his audience can only ruminate on what could have been and which of their wishes could possibly resonate with the speechmaker’s goals.
Would President BBM’s chief creative, Paul Soriano, allow Monday’s event to depart from the SONA’s classic structure and form? I don’t believe so, yet it might be fun to try something drastically different, in tune with “Bagong Pilipinas.”
