PGMA SONA

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s last State-of-the-Nation Address will focus on her administration’s accomplishments and what needs to be done in the future to sustain the country’s gains and improve the welfare of Filipinos.

In a media briefing this afternoon in Malacanang, Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said the President’s “historic” SONA at the opening of the joint Congress on July 27 at the Batasan Complex will last about 40 minutes.

On Monday, Remonde said the Chief Executive will candidly report to the public the accomplishments made since 2001 including the country’s economic resilience in the face of the global crisis.

“This will be a very historic SONA that should not be missed by anyone who cares for his or her country. The President will tell our people very candidly about the state of the nation against the backdrop of the global financial crisis. She will report to the nation what has been done by her administration to minimize the impact of the global crisis to our country and people,” he said.

The President, according to him, ably steered the economy to achieve our economic resiliency that made the Philippines “among the very few countries in the world that will continue to enjoy economic growth this year.”

Remonde said this was validated yesterday by Moody’s upgraded rating for the Philippines.

The Press Secretary said the SONA will also “tell us what needs to be done in the future so that the gains of her administration will be preserved for the best interest of our country.”

Expected to be highlighted are the accomplishments in the President’s 10-point agenda to include programs to balance the budget, livelihood and jobs generation, political reforms, peace and security, unprecedented investments in human and major physical infrastructure, wider access to education, quality health care and other social services programs.

Remonde said the President’s SONA will be backed up by audio-visual testimonies of project beneficiaries.

“I hope that finally after the SONA, all these issues about declaring Martial, state of emergency and everything else will be laid to rest,” Remonde.

“For those who have faith no explanation will be necessary but for those who have no faith no explanation will be possible considering that we are still at the height of the political season I believe that we will never run out of doubting Thomases,” Remonde said.

Remonde expressed gratitude to the pronouncements of Senate president Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and leading businessman Manny V. Pangilinan who both praised the Chief Executive as one of the best Presidents the country ever had.

Remonde said Enrile is a statesman who has seen the ups and downs of Philippine politics at least for the last decade, while Pangilinan is one of Asia’s most distinguished and respected businessmen.

Pagpugay sa Dakilang Master Rapper (Remembering FrancisM)

Francis Magalona was a hero and an inspiration to those lives he has touched. I was in tears watching such artists as Gloc9 cry unabashedly in a televised tribute on “Eat Bulaga” on Saturday. My heart also went out to his children, especially the young ones who may not yet realize their loss.

I admire his wife Pia Arroyo-Magalona a lot because of her strength amid all the pain I’m sure she’s going through for the sake of family. Maxene likewise for her vow to continue keeping his dad proud.

Francis is special to most because of his passion towards whatever he does, be it as a rapper-musician, TV host, actor, and lately, as a photographer and entrepreneur. He puts his mind and soul in all his undertakings and do whatever it takes to make his creations something to remember.

There’s this one incredible performance he did as a guest in Gary V’s “Major Impact” concert in 1990 that changed my view of Kiko. Before this, I only thought of him as just another local artist mimicking American popular music, in his case, the emerging genre of rap at that time. But when I witnessed him first hand at the ULTRA, I had since been in awe of his talent and dedication to his work.

As Gary finished his set, the lights went out. Despite the darkness, the audience could see those on stage. It was Francis’s turn to perform “Mga Kababayan.” What we saw was a touching sight…Francis himself preparing his props, instruments, and other equipment for his number. Then when that familar ethnic-inspired beat was heard in extended play, people started to get excited. And when the voice “Ma-ma-mga-kababayan…” was heard, everyone was in pandemonium.

What surprised me was the crowd’s reaction to his music. Then when he stepped in to do his number, the crowd went berserk and danced and sang to his music as if it was a personal anthem. For a moment, I thought, it was a Francis M concert.

After this, he did an incredible duet with Gary that brought the house down. Gary shared this video on his “showdown” with Francis in his own YouTube channel and also presented it on “Eat Bulaga” last Saturday.

Since this concert, I thought Francis would become the biggest thing in Philippine music. He achieved even more–he became an inspiration that made other lives better, not only his own.

Rasheed Goes to CELTICS

Just when you thought this NBA off-season couldn't get any crazier, comes news the Boston Celtics have reached an agreement with free agent forward/center Rasheed Wallace(notes) on a two-year deal that starts at the midlevel exemption of about $5.8 million. Globe don't lie!

The Celtics offered Wallace the contract during a three-hour meeting in Detroit on Thursday. Celtics stars Kevin Garnett(notes), Ray Allen(notes) and "Snake Eyes" Paul Pierce joined general manager Danny Ainge and managing partner Wyc Grousbeck at the meeting.

Wallace's agent, Bill Strickland, originally said his client would meet with other teams later this week, but that butter knife Garnett held to 'Sheed's throat apparently did the trick. (KG's very convincing!) Charlotte, Cleveland, Orlando, Dallas and San Antonio were said to be other suitors.

The 35-year-old Wallace can play the low post and also has exceptional shooting range. He averaged 12 points per game for the Pistons last year, before falling to just 6.5 points per game in the first round of the playoffs as Detroit was swept in four games by The LeBrons.
