President Rodrigo Duterte will be delivering a heartfelt message to Filipino people in his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 23, according to Malaca\u00f1ang on Thursday, June 5.<\/p>\n

In a press briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said Duterte will have more “latitude” to say what he wants as different clusters of his Cabinet will be conducting their own pre-SONA briefings to report the administration’s accomplishments in the previous year.<\/p>\n

“I think there is still a speechwriter but I think they want it to be a message straight from the heart of the President, not hindered with the need to report on the different achievements,” Roque said.<\/p>\n

The month-long pre-SONA 2018 campaign called “Tatak ng Pagbabago” will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City. The first briefing entitled “Tatak ng Pag-unlad,” which will feature the economic and infrastructure cluster, will be held on July 6, Friday.<\/p>\n

The spokesman told reporters that he has no idea on what will be the content of the speech as he has not yet met with the speechwriter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know who\u2019s writing the speeches, the speech but I haven\u2019t actually sat down with them. So sabi ko<\/em> (I said), I need to sit down with you people and find out what exactly you\u2019ll put in the speech because obviously, a major change is that there\u2019s now a pre-SONA briefing by different clusters,” the Palace official said.<\/p>\n

“So, intrigued na<\/em> intrigued na tayong lahat kung ano ang sasabihin ng Pangulo <\/em>(We are all intrigued with what the President will say),”<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

The 73-year-old President is known to deliver lengthy speeches as he strayed away from the speech prepared for him. His first SONA lasted for about an hour and a half, while his second SONA took two hours to deliver.<\/p>\n

Bernal as a new director<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moreover, Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, also on Thursday, said Joyce Bernal will be the new director of Duterte’s forthcoming SONA.<\/p>\n

She will be taking the place of award-winning Brillante Mendoza, who directed the first two SONAs. Mendoza earlier drew mixed reactions from the public for his unusual use of camera angles during the President\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n

Bernal, a renowned filmmaker, is known for directing comedy-drama films such as “Kimmi Dora series,” “The Super Prental Guardians,” “Bakit Hindi ka Crush ng Crush Mo?,” “Da Possessed,” and “My Big Bossing’s adventures.”<\/p>\n

In 2013, Bernal won Best Director award in the Metro Manila Film Festival for her film “10,000 Hours.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
