State of the nation address of the Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during the second session of the 14th congress of the Republic of the Philippines 28th day of July in year 2008.
As your president, I care too much about this nation to let anyone stand in the way of our people’s well being. Hindi ko papayagang humadlang ang sinuman sa pag-unlad at pagsagana ng taong bayan. I will let no one—no one’s political plans—threaten our nation’s survival.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
What and why does a president giving a SONA?
The SONA is a privilege given to a president where he/she is holding an office. Here he/she can state his/her achievements and accomplishments, country’s improvement under his/her administration and also stating his/her plan for the future.
In this way he/she can reach out his/her countrymen. As a typical Filipino and a bonafide citizen of the Philippines we are required to listen to our president speech to find out what he/she had accomplished and to evaluate his/her future plans.
In relation to HRM subject, economics has something to do with the human resources. Economics and HRM are partners. If the economic is unstable, people also feel instability in their living but if the economy is stable and progressive, people may get rid in poverty and may live in prosperous life.
In the assignment given it asked three areas of the SONA which concerns in HRM. In my opinion their main concerns are: the basic needs and consumption of the people, health insurances, and stability of the businesses and employment rate.
The basic necessities and consumption of the people affects HRM, because in HRM it involves needs to motivate the employee to perform well to earn for survival. It is the primary reason why people must work to earn and to buy his needs and wants in life. And if the economy is prone of increasing goods price but there is no wage hike, it truly affects their performance if their income is insufficient to them. It may cause of protest if the management won’t accept their request for wage increase. It may result chaos between employee and employer or it may become the reason of turnover of employee to his job to look for highly compensated job. In industry, company may undergo downsizing to address the employees’ request.
I include the health benefits in the three areas concerned in the HRM it is because if the employees are healthy the company also becomes healthy, the same as what saying “health is wealth”. If the employees are mentally, emotionally and physically healthy they may more effectively and it may reduce their worries for the future in ensuring their health condition. Our President promotes their program nationwide; some of the indigent beneficiaries largely come from West and Central Luzon and Ilocos and still spreading this program in the poor provinces.
Business stability also does affect transaction in HRM because human rely on the company. If the company is unstable and unproductive this may cause bankruptcy that leads on downsizing or worst closing of the business.
In the SONA of our honorable president she addressed about investment and investing. The government budgeted of php 350 million training partnership with private sector should qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which have projected demand of one million workers generating $13 billion by 2010.
I just hope that all of this hopes and promises will not be forgotten and not just vanished like a wind. I hope that our government and our people will work hand on hand for the benefit of our own progress and for the brighter future of our new generation.
