State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during the 2nd Regular Session of the 14th Congress of the Republic of the Philippines
Three areas from the SONA of our President related to Human Resource Management:
” Noong SONA ng 2001, naglunsad tayo sa NCR ng patrabaho para sa 20,000 na out of school youth, na tinawag OYSTER. Ngayon, mahigit 20,000 ang ineempleyo ng OYSTER sa buong bansa. In disaster-stricken areas, we have a cash-for-work program”. "Mula sa buwang ito, wala nang income tax ang sumusweldo ng P200,000 o mas mababa sa isang taon – P12 billion na bawas-buwis para sa maralita at middle class." "Bukod sa libreng edukasyon sa elementarya at high school, nadoble ang pondo para sa mga college scholarships, while private high school scholarship funds from the government have quadrupled.I have started reforming and clustering the programs of the DepEd, CHED and TESDA."
These areas related to Human Resource Management mentioned by our President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo during her SONA would truly help us if she accomplished all of this. On the first area that stated above it is nice to hear that many of the out of school youth have given a chance to have a work. While the next area I hope that it would really happen because it is gigantic assist to those that belong to the middle class and maralita. The last area was all about the education, I expect that PGMA will continue to what she was started, and I hope she will give more attention, benefits and funds to the DepEd and so forth.
