On the assumption that you heard/read the SONA of the President yesterday, July 28, 2008, identify at least 3 areas related to Human Resource Mangement and explain how these areas can improve our quality of life.



Last July 28, 2008, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo delivered her 8th State of the Nation Address during the 2nd regular session of the 14th congress of the Republic of the Philippines. As what I have read, it obviously focuses on the Human Resource and the President clearly mind for her people. After reading the President's 8th SONA, I came up with this 3 areas that is closely related to Human Resource.

"Our P 350 million training partnership with the private sector should qualify 60,000 for call centers, medical transcription, animation and software development, which have a projected demand of one million workers generating $13 billion by 2010."
- This statement of our honorable president could be a great news to everyone especially the college graduates and to the unemployed Filipinos. And because of these the rate of the unemployed would be minimized and thousands of Filipinos will have there own Job. And it's a great privilege for us IT students.

"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."
- We all know, that being an employee, we are obliged to pay our income tax which would be a big burden for the Filipino employees. Filipino employees are payed with the work and services they give. And it would be a brilliant idea that there will be no income tax to those who had a compensation of P200,000 and below. It's a grand privilege to those employees with a minimum salary and below minimum.

"1 billion pesos allotment for college scholarships or financial help to 70,000 students."
- On the president's SONA, this is one of the greatest news she gave. This is an excellent way of molding Filipinos to be globally competitive and outstanding graduates. It is a good technique in creating our future batch of impressive and educated employees and employers, which will help in the company's progress. And, another thing it will decrease the rate of the uneducated employees and employers in our nation.
