In a chance interview after Marcos' SONA, Arroyo cited the hour-and-a-half speech for being comprehensive as far as the important issues were concerned.  

"Well it's a great speech. He addressed all of the...of the people that they want to hear," she said. "Everything [was] discussed." 

Asked if she was satisfied with the SONA, Arroyo smiled and said, "Yes, yes, of course. More than satisfied." 
 

Commenting on Marcos' report on the Philippine economy, the Cabalen said, "It looks like he is on track."
