Book Description
The following is the transcript of the state of the nation address delivered by Benigno Aquino III, a Filipino politician who served as the 15th president of the Philippines from 2010 to 2016. Under his presidency, the nation's economy grew at the highest rates in decades, and the country was dubbed a "Rising Tiger" economy. Aquino is also credited for his confrontational foreign policy. His administration filed an arbitration case, Philippines v. China, before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in an attempt to invalidate China's claims in the South China Sea and assert the Philippines' claims in the area; the court ruled in favor of the Philippines.
