The firm tone President Benigno Aquino III used to defend the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) lead to moving speech, as he became nostalgic during his penultimate State of the Nation Address. “The Filipino is worth dying for, the Filipino is worth living for, the Filipino is definitely worth fighting for,” the President stated throughout the joint session of Congress. With his voice breaking, he was recalling the words of his father, martyr Ninoy Aquino. Aquino’s SONA, specifically the last parts were met with stirring applause from the crowd, composed of members of the 16th Congress; from allies and family members. Admitting the fact that next year will be his last SONA, the President showcased his administration’s success since he came to lead in 2010, focusing on increases in the economy and social service matters. Partly, he boasts the achievements of the government on education, social services, economy, improvement, infrastructure, calamity efforts, jobs, rehabilitation after typhoons and earthquake, modernization of AFP, security, ARMM Bangsamoro and livelihood. Aquino challenged leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as presidential aspirants. “Patapos na ako. Palagay ko, naramdaman ninyo kung anong pagbabago ang dapat mangyari at bahala na kayong magpatuloy nito.” Aquino in 2010 ran on promises of good authority, but recently his administration has been rocked by scandals including the pork barrel scam and DAP. In his SONA, however, Aquino seemed to adopt a more careful tone in defending DAP. He only directly mentioned the optional fund when he said it benefited 223,615 Technical Education and Skills Development Authority students. However, Aquino considered the issues regarding DAP is the toughest year of his six-year term.
