The speech mentioned a summary of his accomplishments and his plans for the last year of his term. But according to some netizens, he failed to mention or expound on a couple of very vital issues.
The most glaring issues that people were looking for were the Mamasapano Clash, the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill, and the West Philippine Sea dispute with China.
