The wedding is a play. A roomful of audience waits in excitement. But the leading actress, the bride, is missing. She has been rehearsing her lines in her room but she still couldn’t reconcile herself with the character. This is not how she imagined the scene. She is detached. Her mind and her heart hide stay elsewhere. She couldn’t do it. It almost feels morally wrong.

P-Noy’s fourth State of the Nation Address, without a doubt, is going to be debatable for days, weeks, even months. A lot of concerns were not addressed and even with the data being laid out, there is still a need for further explanations. There is too much that needs to be discussed concerning his bosses, the masa.

Still, it is always commendable that P-Noy has always been using Filipino in giving his speech. There is no clearer message than using a language your bosses can fully understand. It shows respect, it shows sincerity. It shows that the matuwid na daan is not limited to English speakers which, in this country, are regarded to be the elite. P-Noy reported to all the people, not just to some people.
