SONA 2026: From flood control to EVs, Marcos Delivers on Accountability and Relief

On July 27, 2026, President Bongbong Marcos delivered his State of the Nation Address (SONA), addressing various issues facing the Philippines. He covered topics such as flood control updates, DPWH reorganization, support for OFWs, oil supply, excise tax suspension, increased aid for the needy, tax relief, infrastructure and transportation, agriculture, energy, labor, education and health (including the "Health Yakap" program), the Tacloban school shooting, Alex Eala, Philippine football and sports, foreign affairs and national security, and finally, the West Philippine Sea. All these were highlights of President Marcos's SONA.

As part of the broader initiative for national safety and progress, measures regarding flood control and DPWH reform represent significant steps toward building more resilient communities. Despite energy-related challenges, plans for expanded access to electricity and the development of nuclear energy demonstrate a commitment to long-term sustainability. These measures are designed not only for the present but also for future generations who will benefit from improved governance.

While we strengthen our economy and support our workforce, it is equally important to promote our culture and the elements that define Filipino identity. Recognizing the excellence of athletes like Alex Eala and the women's football team showcases the strength of our national spirit. Amidst external challenges, our firm stance on the West Philippine Sea and our demonstration of compassion as a nation reinforce our standing on the global stage.
