President wants to keep his 3rd SONA brief

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday said he was having a hard time figuring out how to fit everything he wanted to convey during his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22 in just one hour.

In a media interview on the sidelines of the official impounding process ceremony of the Upper Wawa Dam in Montalban, Rizal, the Chief Executive said he would detail how the government is performing when it comes to further ramping up the economy, addressing criminality, eliminating illegal drugs, and responding to other threats facing the country.
