In a statement, Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said Duterte's last SONA will leave a mark and will be a reflection of what Duterte was as a leader.
We at the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) have been working non-stop in our preparations to make this SONA modest, yet memorable and significant to the Filipino people - something that reflects President Duterte as a leader, he said.
With our last year in the Duterte administration, we will ensure that this year’s SONA will be etched in the hearts and minds of the Filipino people that we've worked hard to serve, he added. According to Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, the President's final SONA will tell the public where the Philippines is now under his administration, and what can they expect in his last year in office.
“Ang magiging porma ng SONA niya (President Duterte) ay titignan niya ang nakalipas na limang taong siya’y naging Presidente (His SONA will look back at the past five years that he was President),” Roque said.
“Fo-focus siya, siyempre, sa pagunlad ng bayan, sa ating mga (He will focus, of course, on the country’s growth, our) social programs, infrastructure, peace and security, foreign policy,” he added.
“Sasagutin niya ang tanong na (He will answer the questions) ‘What and where are we now?’, and ‘Looking forward’ doon sa huling taon ng panunungkulan ng ating Presidente (on his last year as the President),” he continued.
