SONA VS. PONA

Sad is the fact that the #1 problem facing the nation today is lack of quality education. There was no mention of this yesterday. The underlying problem is the deplorable quality of elementary education - more than 70% of Grade VI graduates are not ready for High School!

Two high ranking nursing educators of two different schools from two different regions in the Visayas confided to me that the #1 problem they face is that the students do not have any capacity for deductive reasoning. And, their solution is, increase the nursing course to 5 years. No! Institute the bridge program (for which Dr. de Jesus was fired as Secretary of DepEd after being ganged on by the parents and teachers for the gall of even suggesting such).

So, we asked the Dear President to give a SONA (State Of the Nation Address). Instead, she gave a PONA (Plan Of the Nation Address). Maybe her handlers thought that the poorly educated Filipinos could not tell the difference?

So, she gave a PONA. Here's the SON (State Of the Nation):
