The bills and nuclear-related agreements were listed in the technical report for Marcos’ third State of the Nation Address (SONA), which provided a detailed discussion of the government’s programs on the economy, food and water security, social development, environment, national security, peace and prosperity and good governance.

To achieve its goal of advancing economic transformation and growth, the Marcos administration is calling for the passage of the proposed Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises to Maximize Opportunities for Reinvigorating the Economy or the CREATE MORE Act, the fourth package of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program, the bill imposing excise tax on single-use plastics, the motor vehicle users’ tax, value added tax on digital services and the rationalization of the mining fi scal regime.
