MANILA \u2013 In his sixth and final State of the Nation Address, President Benigno \u201cNoynoy\u201d Aquino III thanked and praised Interior Secretary Manuel \u201cMar\u201d Roxas II, among others, and overlooked Vice President Jejomar \u201cJojo\u201d Binay.<\/p>\n

Roxas has been the presumptive standard-bearer of the ruling Liberal Party (LP) in next year\u2019s national elections.\u00a0 Aquino acknowledged him for being a man with integrity and competency and encouraged him against his detractors. He went on saying, \u2018You can\u2019t put a good man down.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cTulad ng pagtitiwala ng nanay at tatay ko, magtiwala kang alam ng taumbayan kung sino ang tunay na inuuna ang bayan, bago ang sarili,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

(Like the trust given by my mother and father, trust that the people know who is really serving the country first before himself.)<\/p>\n

Aquino also thanked all his Cabinet members, late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo and even his house helper Yolly Yebes.<\/p>\n

To Binay, however, the President only made an allusion to the Vice President\u2019s complaints in the administration. Citing the 89.4 million Filipinos as PhilHealth beneficiaries from the previous 47 million, he despised those who said the government was inefficient and insensitive.<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that Binay earlier criticized Aquino\u2019s administration for being \u2018palpak\u2019 (inefficient) and \u2018manhid\u2019 (insensitive). \u00a0He later on led the opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
