00:00On IBP Road, the posters of SONA 2024 are spreading to Batasan Complex.
00:08Clearing operations and cleaning of the roads are also underway.
00:13For now, the country's law has been locked down as a part of the security measures for SONA.
00:19Only the bodies and groups with permits are allowed to enter.
00:24On Monday, at the same day of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s 3rd State of the Nation Address,
00:30everyone will be able to enter, but with limited security.
00:34As soon as the camera was announced, all of their renovations for SONA were completed.
00:41A blessing ceremony was also held for this,
00:44together with House Committee on Accounts Chair Yeda Marie Romualdez
00:48and TINGOG Party List Representative Jude Asidre.
00:51Congressmen also have their own SONA wish or wishes to hear from the President.
00:58Lanaudel Sur First District Representative Sia Alonto Adjong
01:01is waiting for the new steps of the administration on the West Philippine Sea.
01:07Remember the President was successful in making this issue not just limited between China and the Philippines,
01:14but he was able to make it as a top priority agenda in the talks of all nations involved in the security and peace in the Indo-Pacific region.
01:26While for OFW Party List Representative Marisa Delmar Magsino,
01:31OFWs are the ones who want to give attention to SONA.
01:36If House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo will be the one to ask,
01:40solutions to various issues like inflation, wages, and WPS are the ones he wants to hear.
01:48I'm sure the President also has accomplishments from the last time he made the SONA speech.
01:55He has accomplishments.
01:57But what we really want to hear is the people, even us in Congress,
02:01the solutions of the government.
02:04If there's anything that the Executive wants help from Congress, from the Legislative,
02:14then we can react and we can do something.
02:17Regarding the security in SONA,
02:19Tulfo also answered the concerns of some people
02:22in the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte that she is the designated survivor,
02:28that's why SONA will not bring her.
02:30There are people who consider this as a threat even though VP Sara has already denied it.
02:35I don't think there's anything wrong with what VP is saying.
02:39It's just that the people are a bit nervous, even our colleagues in Congress,
02:44even the members of SONA.
02:46They are confused as to why this designated survivor was mentioned.
02:50But for me, when I saw it online, I was overseas,
02:54I just reverted it because I trust the security of Congress.
03:00I know how the security forces of Congress operate.
03:06The Filipino people are already waiting for the third SONA of the President.
03:11But more than his accomplishments,
03:13everyone is also hoping to find out how the different branches of the government
03:19will help to fulfill the new promises of the administration.
