The State of the Nation Address (abbreviated SONA ; Filipino : Talumpati sa Kalagayan ng Bansa )
is an annual address by the President of the Philippines to a joint session of the Congress of the Philippines . Mandated by the 1987 Constitution , the speech is delivered every fourth Monday of July at the Plenary Session Hall of the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Batasan Hills , Quezon City , Metro Manila .
The SONA , which is often broadcast , serves as a means to inform the nation about its present economic , political , and social condition . It is also the time for the President to summarize the accomplishments and plans of his/her program of government both for a particular year and until the end of their term of office .
In the 3rd SONA of our president .
He discusses about On the unrelenting drug war , On human rights organizations ' concerns , corruption , On the Bangsamoro Law and many more .
" The war against illegal drugs is far from over . This is why the illegal drugs war will not be sidelined . Instead , it will be as relentless and chilling , if you will , as on the day it began ." . said by Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte .
In my own opinion , our president was saying that the " War On Drugs " in the Philippines is still not resolving and it may cause us harm if we still didn't have a solution for that problems . On Human Rights , Mr. President says " your concerns is Human Rights , mine is human lives " A meaningful sentence . Many people admire our President because of his unique style of managing our country . I agree of what he says .
Those drug lords and drug pushers don't deserve a human rights . For me , they are not humans .
They do everything they want even if it is bad .
They can kill people without even thinking . They kill innocent people .
On Corruption ,
" Corruption is like a leech that it bleeds the government of funds programmed for its infrastructure and other social development projects ." .
In our country , corruption is a never ending problem.
There are already many officials that have been removed from their position in our government.
And our government officials and our president is now finding a solution to this
problem .
There are still many problems of our country that had not been resolve and i hope that our President is still going to find the answers to this problem .
