SONA 2008

President Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address on July 28, 2008 will be her eighth SONA since assuming the presidency in 2001.
SONA 2008 is also Arroyo’s second to the last SONA; next year’s SONA is her last, before she steps down in 2010.


These are some areas related to Human Resource Management:

" In training, 7.74 million took technical and vocational courses over the last seven years, double the number in the previous 14 years. In 2007 alone, 1.7 million graduated."

-This training would really help a lot, especially to those students who can't afford to make enroll. Also, it will produce competitive employees.

" GSIS pensions have been indexed to inflation and have increased every year since 2001. Its salary loan availments have increased from two months equivalent to 10 months, the highest of any system public or private-while repayments have been stretched out. "

- This benefits would motivate the employees to work harder and double their efforts in their work.


" Our P 350 million training partnership with the private sector should qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which have a projected demand of one million workers generating $13 billion by 2010. "

-This project of Pres. Arroyo would really help those people who do not have work and would minimize the number of unemployed Filipinos.

"I hope that she will do all her promises for the improvement of the quality of lives of every Filipino people. But we should not depend only to our President, but also to ourselves.
