the audience inside the session hall, calling it the "most beautiful SONA crowd" in history. He spoke
about how his mission is "clean and unpolluted," how the previous five years have been "really tough
and humbling," and thanked healthcare professionals and other frontline fighters for their efforts in the
fight against COVID-19 early on. He singled out Mayor Francis Zamora of San Juan City for vaccinating
70% of the city's inhabitants in just a few months. As he discussed the government's infrastructure
projects in the regions, he looked for Vice President Leni Robredo. The President noted the ten-year
extension of driver's license validity and the clearing of millions of backlogs. He renewed his demand for
Congress to approve legislation creating a single agency to address OFWs' needs and concerns. Duterte
was pleased with himself for going after water concessionaires. He emphasized pre-COVID economic
improvements under his administration. Duterte concluded his speech at 6:59 p.m., declaring "Let us
rise as a nation together. Thank you very much." 

a. As a Filipino citizen, I am completely satisfied with the performance and achievements of our current
president. He prioritizes the Build, Build, Build project which benefits us because of improving
infrastructures like roads, buildings, and airports. 

b. Based on achievements, President Duterte is set apart from other previous presidents because he is
focused on getting rid of the corruption in the government, and crime in our country. He also improved
the road and railway systems, especially in Metro Manila. Lastly, he made our country become the
fastest-growing economy before the pandemic comes.

4. My favorite OPM song are Narda, Ikaw Lamang, Harana, and many more. I think they are not popular
compared to foreign songs or K-POP because the singers for example on a K-POP group contain more
appeal to the viewers and listeners. To make OPM popular we can promote songs through online sites,
and tell everyone that we should embrace our OPM instead of other country’s songs.

5. Local and national governments need also to build public skate parks, basketball, tennis, badminton,

healthy because of the physical activity they do.
