PNoy's First SONA, Solutions not Lampoons

President Noynoy Aquino's first State of the Nation Address was direct to the point and littered with a lot of data. It was totally different from that of the past president's SONA which was full of self-praise and bola. What I liked about his speech is his call to have everyone walk the straight path and help our nation. It is a good reminder that our nation will not rise by itself, we all have to work hard for it. Of course it helps to have bottomless optimism.

Service. That's what my Dad instilled in me since I was a kid. In fact my Dad has a whole book about it entitled, "Solutions not Lampoons". If you are interested to read it please leave a comment with your address and number (or leave a message here) and I'll try to send you a copy.

Thank you P.Noy, you have inspired me to work even harder to be of service :)

  6. Hi Aileen, received the copy last Friday. Thanks. I owe you one. I got myself reading the book immediately, and it is informative and have lots of implementable insights. It just needs political will, on who is on authority to do it. I also noticed that at page 51-52, there is duplicate paragraph. just informing. I am yet to complete or finish the entire book. thanks a lot.
