MANILA — Defending President Aquino’s two-hour State of the Nation Address, Malacanang yesterday said that the Filipino people deserved a comprehensive report.<\/p>\n

In a press briefing, Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that it was only rightful for the President to present the administration’s long list of accomplishments.<\/p>\n

He also defended Aquino’s reference to anomalies and scandals during the past administration.<\/p>\n

Coloma said that Aquino was only pointing the challenge of starting from negative when he took over.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Aquino said he was aware of calls for him and the administration to move on but added that\u00a0\u201cwe can only move on once justice has been attained.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aquino also said that he feared that the people would grow impatient waiting for the remaining problems to be solved.<\/p>\n

Coloma, meanwhile, pledged that the government will continue addressing the country’s problems until \u00a0the very last day of Aquino’s term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
