ICYMI: Lawmakers said they expect President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to present a forward-looking Sona, focusing on a “road map” and “battle plan” for the country’s development and rallying the Filipino people for “what they hope to achieve.”
The graphics include the Bagong Pilipinas slogan and logo that the PCO unveiled last week as part of the administration’s governance and leadership branding.
House Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto on Sunday said the president’s second Sona should not just be a “throwback moment” on the past year but a “battle plan on how we can fast-forward to what we hope to achieve.” He added that “at the very least, [the speech] should satisfy the people on what will be done to things that matter to, and bother, them the most” — particularly hunger, employment of skilled workers, public transportation and housing, as well as care for the sick and the elderly.
According to Escudero, the country needs an annual presidential report that would “[shock] us about the great problems that we face, surprise us with the bold solutions, and scare us about the price of inaction.” She called on the appropriate agencies to monitor the country’s compliance with the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
