STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES TO THE CONGRESS OF THE PHILIPPINES (Delivered at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City, July 23, 2018)
The tough-talking President of the Republic of the Philippines started his SONA 2018 at exactly 5:22 PM and concluded at around 6:09 PM or slightly longer compared to the estimated 35 minute speech due to some remarks during his speech.
Pres. Duterte started his SONA with the usual acknowledgement of the members of the Philippine Congress, former Presidents, Vice Pres. Leni Robredo, members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of the Cabinet, the Judiciary, his fellow workers in government and the last but not the least all our Filipinos.
The President opened his speech by reminding every Filipinos that about 2 years ago, he solemnly took his oath as worker of the national government. He was inspired to institute real changes for the greater good of the Filipino people.
The President highlighted that the administration's War Against Illegal Drugs is far from over and will not be sidelined, instead, it will relentless and chilling as what his administration started during his first day in office.
The tough-talking President highlighted to everybody and particularly the Human Rights Commission that his concern is more on human lives and not the human rights because "illegal drugs wasted away lives, dysfunction families and ruined relationship."
Pres. Duterte also noted during his SONA that corruption must stop and improve the delivery of services to the Filipino people and warned government agencies to stop RED TAPE in government. He also noted his order on Ease of Doing Business Act should be implemented thoroughly. "I hereby direct all government units and government agencies to faithfully implement this law and simply simplify the process."
The very first President from Mindanao also mentioned his concerned for his home island in the south as he revealed that the budget for Mindanao is being increased under his administration. He also noted that by the end of his term, he wants to see the fulfillment of his promise and Mindanao could no longer be just called as the "Land of Promise," but it should received what it is rightful for the island.
On the controversial Bangsamoro Basic Law or now known as Bangsamoro Organic Law, the law is up to his approval and said that he just need 48 hours to study and sign the law. Pres. Duterte stated "Give me 48 hours to sign it and approve the law."
The President also hailed the successful hosting of the Philippines in the regional summit, the ASEAN Anniversary and Summit last November as he noted that "We will have a stronger bonds with ASEAN friends." In the Philippines relationship with China, Pres. Duterte said that his administration's dealings with China has led to an unaccustomed level of cooperation between nations on the war against transitional crimes. "Our shared intelligence with China led to discovery of Clandestine shabu laboratories." Duterte sated.
Pres. Duterte also shared his administration to our millions of Filipino Migrant Workers spreading around the world for their selflessness and courage in enduring hardships of living away from their respective families. Pres. Duterte also mentioned the fight against 'Endo' which has resulted to regularization of more than 300,000 workers but also urged Congress to pass a law against Endo, because he did everything but it's up to the Philippine Congress to pass a law against Endo.
The President also talked about the third tel co player as he noted that the chosen entity must provide the best possible services at reasonable prices. The President noted that he wants to lower the interconnection rates between industry players. He also promised to restore the environment integrity of Boracay Island as he noted that protection of the environment is a top priority under his admin. The President also went emotional as he discussed open pit mining that he said "destroying my country," as he warned the mining operators to be careful because he will not allow anybody to destroy the natural resources of our country and not during his watch.
The President of the Republic also applauded the Philippine Congress for the immediate passing of the Tax Reform for acceleration and Inclusion or the TRAIN Law. "I am committed to a comprehensive tax reform and I ask Congress to continue the job." On TRAIN impact, he said: "You have made funds available to build better roads, bridges, and improved health and education."
Duterte also warned rice cartels to stop messing with the people and applauded former Cong. Harry Roque, his presidential spokespersons for authoring the Universal Healthcare bill and urged Congress for the immediate passage of important bill.
President Duterte's third SONA is indeed emotional and direct to the point as the President once again reiterated his concerned of continuing the War Against Illegal Drugs despite the numerous setbacks and criticisms of the commission on human rights and other militant groups because he really cared for the youth and future of this country. I admire him very much, he has a big heart. He really care for what the future be of our country for the youth. One thing is I don't forget, he teach us the value of saying "no'" even at your very best friends, it was indeed Friendship has limits.
