PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has expressed confidence that he would be able to report some progress when he delivers his second State of the Nation Address (SONA) in July. At sa palagay ko naman, meron naman tayo ipapakita (what happened to the plans we mentioned during my first SONA. I think, we will be able to report some progress) and that's what the content of the SONA, I think, will probably be," he added. To recall, it was Marcos who drafted his first SONA delivered at the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City on July 25, 2022. In his first SONA, Marcos reported that the state of the nation is "sound," as he had assembled the "best" Filipino minds to help navigate the pandemic.
