(UPDATES) AHEAD of his State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed into law two measures aimed at streamlining the government procurement process and protecting the public from financial cybercrimes.

Marcos led the signing of Republic Act (RA) 12009, or the 'New Government Procurement Act' (NGPA), and RA 12010, or the 'Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act' (Afasa), in a ceremony witnessed by lawmakers and other government officials in Malacañang on Saturday.
