The latest State of the Nation Address by Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's claim about the current progress of Filipino's lives can be described with those words.
Philippines, in an inevitable perspective, strives double as much as to reach its ultimate goal: to attain a nation where its dreams are just close to reality, where everyone could attest that they are moving in a totally progressive community.
The government tried their best to increase the country's competitiveness, to strengthen its good governance, and to continue to fight the battle every single day. No one could provoke that there's no effort - at least a little effort coming from the heads of our country today.
Yet, these efforts seem to be insufficient. They keep on stating dulcet promises to exonerate poverty manifesting within our country today.
Though excluded in PGMA's latest SONA, negative aspects glued in our economy are continuously rising within Filipino's lifestyle. Obvious in the society? Absolutely true. Inflation rates come in double digits. Massive job losses and income slowdowns are back-to-back. Six million jobs were created, statistics have shown, but then these are mere underemployment. Many sectors had lost than those who had gained. There's no clear progress. It's vague. It's ideniably obfuscate.
Filipino lives had totally shifted from progressive to unconstructive. There's a massive change as to Filipino lfestyle today than to the previous years. Everyone could feel it, indeed, an adamant matter.
We are one nation with one fate. To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we must know how to become more self-reliant, self-sufficient and a lot independent. If those in the government couldn't stand for our country's progress, let's cling onto this: we can change the world from below.
