The SONA, which is often broadcast, serves as a means to inform the nation

about its present economic, political, and social condition. President Rodrigo Duterte
delivered his fifth State of the Union Address (SONA) on Monday, July 27, against the
backdrop of the pandemic that has destroyed the lives of millions of Filipinos and
continues to spread throughout the Philippines.
Duterte uses most of his annual speech, which lasts nearly two hours, to
threaten the "oligarchy", failing to detail a pandemic recovery roadmap for the
previously promised nation of Malacañang. I've noticed that this SONA was also
Duterte's longest ones so far. He opens his speech stressing the most important issue
which is the Coronavirus pandemic. State hope for a vaccine and thank the frontlines
who are risking their lives to respond to those most affected by the disease. Afterwards,
he criticized ABS-CBN and the owners of the media network. He also talked about Sen.
Franklin Drilon, Sen. Bong Go, and Southeast Asian Games. However, the Philippines’
hosting of the regional sporting event was hounded by allegations of corruption and
poor planning. Duterte highlights the country’s positive credit ratings and says with a
strong economic position. He also discussed important things like infrastructure, drug
war, human rights, OFWs, Tax reform, small businesses, China, education, health,
martial law in Mindanao, death penalty and West Philippine Sea. At the end, he gave
message to the criminals. He circles his speech with a warning that he will be the
enemy of criminals who harm the public, saying “bodies will pile up” if they “return to
their ways.” Upon searching, I realized something relevant. His SONA is full of false and
ambiguous propositions. An example of his proposal is the lexical element that is often
used "rest assured", namely "rest assured that we will not shirk our obligation to fight for
human rights". This highly controversial statement concerns his murder and war on
drugs and other human rights abuses that his government accuses of; accusations
allude to the fact that the human rights crisis in the Philippines has escalated, if not
worsened, since he took office.
His way of talking is quite annoying for some people. We can't deny that. His
word usage was a little bit hard but he's just being honest though. It is his style since
then.
