What lawmakers expect from SONA

Lawmakers expect to hear a straightforward speech from President Rodrigo Duterte when he delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA) today.

“From how I personally know President Duterte, a no-nonsense, no-frills, action man, I expect that his SONA would be concise and straight to the point. It will cut to the matter of most pressing concerns facing our nation such as questions on Federalism and the issue of the West Philippine Sea in relation to China,” Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco said.
