                    [Summary] => 



Almost immediately after the SONA, a lot of cynics and naysayers were snickering at GMA and her bold plans to pump-prime the economy and make this country "step into the future," as she put it. That SONA, ambitious as it may have sounded to GMA critics and faultfinders, reverberated in the international community, more importantly in the financial sector. An old friend of mine from Washington, DC called me up the other day to ask about the exciting things that seem to be happening in the Philippines.
