I did not have an opportunity to attend President Toribiong’s State of the Republic Address (SORA) and have not had much time to view the event on TV. I am hoping to watch it when it is replayed – I desperately need to put all the details I have heard in proper perspective.
I have had the opportunity to converse with people who attended the SORA, but I did not hear much about what the President said – and I bet, so did the people I talked to. I am guessing that I probably talked people who either sat beyond the range of the speakers of the SORA or relied on unhealthy and adversely uninformed hearing aides – the ones who run on “ever ready” and are crass wired.I know more about the state of appropriateness of fashion during the SORA than I do the speeches that were delivered – I do not trust the coded and in all likelihood, edited translations (If I fail to catch the replay of the SORA on TV, I may need your help to find a professional to decipher the words.) The people I talked to were meticulously misinformed and I had endure details that for the life of me were unnecessary – from see thru fashion to laced capris to supposedly FBI warranted investigations.My inquiries into the SORA did confirm at least two things: that there are many of us who were fortunate to have been born with hearing as sensitive as that of a “man’s best friend” and (disappointingly for us) more than needed audacity to twist and parlay the information without consideration of others; and that there are also quite a few us who have resorted to being remoras – supposedly for the ride and not for the scraps and crap that oozes out every so often.I am hoping that you heard the President and that you listened intently – without the hearing aides. I am also hoping that when we meet you would be able to at least tell me that he delivered his speech eloquently or vice-versa; and that you would be able to summarize the content of his speech – without the added spices. Further, I am hoping that when we do talk about the SORA, it would all be within the context of responsible governance and ultimately, consideration of those with unnatural hearing disabilities.The SORA is one of many events that would be referred to in the future. I am pray that the hearing aides – the dysfunctional ones – would not be entitled to discuss the SORA. These are the people who make our government struggle. Maybe we ought to consider removing their eardrums! At the very least, they would not be able say, “I heard” so and so say. “I read” would be the beginning of their sentences and they would be so much more plausible.
