                     July 25, 2016 – The date that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivered his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) in front of law makers and guests at the Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City. True to his words, the SONA of President Duterte has strong message of change for the Filipinos. Here are some speeches that he delivered in his SONA. First, on fighting against criminality and corruption, Duterte said it will be relentless. He promised not to stop until the last drug lord. He encouraged the police officers and the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) to do their job. He also emphasized that human rights must uplift dignity. Second is on taxation, he said that the government will pursue reforming the old tax system. Third, on Reproductive Health issues, he said that RH Law must be put in full force. I know that we will be happy on this good news that our President said, President Duterte announced good news about free WiFi access in select public places - including LRT, MRT and government offices. The powerful SONA, which was estimated to last for 38 minutes, went over an hour and 32 minutes overtime as a number of important national issues and legislative proposals were tackled by the President. 

                      For me, the first State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Rodrigo Duterte was delivered clearly and meaningfully. It is nice because I know it is the start of change of our community. I know that it will help us in able to have a unity and strong country. But it doesn’t mean only President Duterte will do that, of course the true change will start on us. Let’s help our President to serves as an inspiration to all people. Let’s love and embrace our country wholeheartedly.
