State of the Nation Address is an annual address by the President of the Philippines to congress of the Philippines. It is required by 1987 constitution of the Philippines and must be delivered every 4^th Monday of July at the Batasan Pambansa Complex in Batasan Hills, Quezon City.

     President Benigno Aquino III delivered his 3^rd State of the Nation Address during Joint Session of the 15^th congress of the Philippines at the Plenay Hall, House of Representative Complex, Constitution Hills, in Quezon City last July 23, 2012.

     These are some programs which he delivered. Some programs are very helpful to us especially to those people who are need. Because of the programs he implemented, 4.57 million of students who could not go to school before due to poverty are now able to study. Also, 55% of Filipinos were now PHILHEALTH members which are good for those citizen people. 30,000 nurses were deployed to 36,000 Barangays. This program helps those people who are in remote area. There must be 1.5 million hectares of trees to be planted by 2016. These can help us in time of calamities because trees suck those excess waters.

     Aquino said that “Filipino made changes possible, change comes from the citizenry”. This saying that he said was very inspiring because he is reminding that we must begin to change to have a better country.
