SONA 2019

1. Death penalty - He asks Congress to bring back the death penalty for heinous

crimes related to drugs and plunder.
Definitely this affects the development of a country itself, simply because it gives
security to the people that lives within the country against crimes and other illegal
activities that violates the Philippine Criminal Law. It degrades the crime rate of the
country which gives the Filipinos a comfortable living in the country itself.
Another thing, it will also encourage the tourist to visit the country that may also affect
the currency of the Peso through trade foreign currency. Since developed country
offers an economic security which also includes physical security that protects
people and property from physical harm such as justice system that protects people
from crimes.
2. Corruption - Duterte condemns the PhilHealth ghost kidney treatment scam,
commends the National Bureau of Investigation for the arrest of high-profile criminals,
and recalls how he has fired "more than a hundred" government officials. He cites
revenue collections by government corporations as signs that anti-corruption reforms
are working.
It is somehow quite obvious that if a country suffer from a high level of  corruption that
slows their overall development. The entire society is affected as a result of the
inefficient allocation of resources, the presence of a shadow economy, and low-quality
education and healthcare. That is definitely against with the economic securities that a
developed country must have. But at some point, the corruption became minimal as
compared before.
3. Anti-red tape - He tells the Land Transportation Office, Social Security System,
Bureau of Internal Revenue, Land Registration Authority, and Pag-IBIG to improve their
services as data from the complaint center under his office show they were the subject
of many complaints. He wants processing of permits to last only 3 days.
This gives us an easy way access to the public services offered. These provisions
essential public services affects the development of the Philippines not just through the
Public Services but also by giving the people within the country a Quality of Life that
will definitely give them happiness and comfortable living.
4. Telecommunications - Duterte speaks about Dito Telecommunity, the newly
established third-telecommunications provider in the Philippines. He challenges them to
render services to as many Filipinos as possible. He also promises no corruption was
involved in Dito Telecommunity's entry into the sector.
As most Filipinos demand for a faster telecommunication provider, it will serve as the
biggest rival for the current telecommunication provider that will definitely makes a big
competition through its prices and it will force them to improve their own providers that
will satisfy the Filipinos demand. Not just through its quality but also through its cost.
 5. Bangsamoro Organic Law – The President tells the Bangsamoro government to
fast-track the development of the region and improve the quality of life of Muslims and
indigenous peoples.
It is another way of ‘peace talk’ within the country, as compared before Muslims had a
lack of connection in the government. The President itself shows that he was not
serving for a specific region but also for the whole country itself which also unite the
people that lives in one country, they may have a different dialects, norms, customs or
traditions but through this… it may unite the whole country.
