I'm pretty much convinced that our economy is okay with relatively low risk on trading & agriculture. I know I gave him scathing reviews but if you read his checklist last year. In fairness to him he already achieved some of his goals.
Amongst other things, the SONA:
* Lists solid accomplishments in disaster management, the economy, healthcare, education, unemployment rate, transport infrastructure, tourism volume, and tree planting
* Outlines that seeds planted in agriculture – rice, coconut - will soon bear fruition, indeed, declares self-sufficiency in rice may soon be a reality
* Promises complete implementation of agrarian
reform (This alone will mark PNoy as a great president.)
* Sheds light in the energy sector and in numerous
barrios
* Claims reduction in crime rate and illegal logging
* Seeks to win the peace via modernization of the
armed forces
* Extends support of the ARMM
* Pushes Sin Tax Bill and RH (?)
* Addresses implementation of government programs that take care of people from the womb to retirement
* Details plan for performance-based bonuses for
government employees. (Will this positive step end the petty corruption in public service?)
* Promotes a strategy of forbearance with China without ceding territory
* Cites equal application of justice to the rich and powerful and the poor
Missing are:
* Mention of Freedom of Information Bill
* How to address the Power Situation in Mindanao
What is remarkable is the mindset:
* The palpable overarching goal to do good
* The positive attitude that says “Nothing is impossible” – and proves it
* The establishment of norms by which to measure performance
* The recognition that the accomplishments are not the work of one man but belong to the team
* The show of confidence combined with humility - and an absence of hubris
* The continued attention to spirituality (in spite of negative Church meddling)
* The gratitude to the people – the Bosses – that they are the true agents of change
The overall mood is upbeat. Let us see whether an A- can be given in the next SONA

Overall, a B+.

I will not go on a debate with your observations, but I will gave the President's SONA a lower grade C-. I am more of the "see is to be believe" person.
If grading system applied to his recent SONA, well, I think more of it as achievement system. Nevertheless, there's a little hassle after the event.
The robust economy that the Philippines are experiencing right now is a plus factors for all OFW who somehow contributed to it.
They even did a mini fashion show :/
