President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. reassured Filipinos that he would present the progress that the country has made under his leadership in his upcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA).
“It's really very simple. It's just a performance report for Filipinos to see sa dami ng mga pronouncements, sa dami ng mga salita, kung ito ba ay talagang may kabuluhan, salita lamang,” Marcos said in an ambush interview on Monday, July 17 after being asked what the public should anticipate in his second SONA.
“We'll see. That's what I want to explain to people, that we have made significant progress. We can see the difference now, not only in terms of how the systems work, how the government works, it is also how we are seen or judged in the international community. That's equally important,” he also noted.
The President added that if there were any changes to the topics he had covered in his SONA from the previous year, he would disclose them to the public.
“Ang gagawin kong SONA, the state of the nation, is a report to the people. Ipapakita natin, I would like to show ito 'yung pinag-usapan natin last year, ito na ngayon ang nagawa natin, ito pa ‘yung kulang na gagawin namin, ito ‘yung plano,” Marcos said.
On July 24, Marcos will deliver his second SONA.
He had voiced assurance that he will have “something” to share with the people on his second SONA.
