SUPERCUT: SONA 2026 summary in under 15 minutes

It's been a year since I last came here to reveal the truth about the flood control projects. As I promised you, we conducted a thorough and thorough investigation without any evidence. We were able to find evidence.

We did everything we could to make sure that the end was a success. There were those who were first arrested and imprisoned, contractors, high-ranking officials, and even lawyers. And we have reached the point where, according to the Ombudsman, the arrest of four cases against the former Speaker is near. It hurts me.

But we must do the right thing. I am not the president of my family. I am not the president of my friends. I am the president of the Philippines. And my duty is to you, my fellow Filipinos. Since the effect of the war in the Middle East hit our country, we immediately declared a state of national energy emergency.

We will make our mission one. Uplift. The hope of our struggling citizens. All agencies are committed to saving.

and to lead the programs that are more important in addressing the effects of the crisis. Additionally, a product of the 23-member strong and US-led PAC-SILICA initiative, the PAC-SILICA Industrial Hub will create an ecosystem that will have AI at its core. It will bring quality jobs to our people, accelerate our industrial competitiveness, and revitalize our economy.

As a strategic component of the Luzon Economic Corridor, the hub will be an advanced manufacturing and logistics center in the global AI and technology value chain. Kagayan is both geographically and economically primed to serve as our gateway to space and host the country's first spaceport. A sounding rocket,

A sounding rocket launch test is slated for next year. Yes, we are going to launch a rocket into space. This we will do in partnership with a South Korean aerospace company. The 20-year program will continue. This will be a gift to more than 12 million Filipinos in the country. More than 800 of our fellow citizens

are still helping the buyers and the fishermen who are directly selling their products. To give stability to the thinking of the beneficiaries of the agrarian reform, we will not stop giving them land titles.

So in the next four years, we will now have 400,000 titles, the total of which is over 500,000 hectares.

We will end the distribution of the titles next year. In all that we do in the energy sector, the government also clearly stated that the people of the country must lower the price of electricity in the country.

First of all, to make it simple, easy, and accessible to the public, the installation of solar panels and battery storage systems in their homes, I ask the Congress to pass its own Current Act. And if we're talking about reducing prices, in my opinion, it's time to remove the systems laws that are being passed on to consumers.

We demand for the immediate amendment of the EPIRA.

and to prohibit charging systems laws against consumers, including the value-added tax thereon. We will not save our Filipino workers, especially middle-class and small businesses. We know that they are also the ones who are burdened by the effects of the crisis.

So, to ensure the continued progress of the middle class amidst the lingering effects of the crisis, we will pursue tax relief measures that promote growth, that generate revenue, and advance equity towards socio-economic sustainability. That is why, as a protection to them, and so that they can benefit more from their hard-earned

I call on Congress to pass a law that will give a portion of the income to our paid workers. First, let's release the exemption from the income tax. Let's add workers who are free to work to their income. Let's include those who earn less than P350,000 per year.

At the same time, the income tax will be lowered to make it work. In the coming year, the trains of the North-South Commuter Railway will run through Valenzuela and Malolos. The DOTR will strive to finish this administration. The railway will also finish until Clark.

Sa susunod na taon, bubuksan na rin ang labindalawang stasyon ng MRT-7. Matapos ang halos tatlong dekada, may bago ng linyang MRT na tutulak pa hanggang Sacred Heart sa Quezon City mula sa North Avenue. At balang araw, aabot pa ito hanggang San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. Dala ang mga sariwang lekson ito, mas maayos at mabilis ang pag-responde natin sa ating mga naging biktima ng sakuna.

Like the flood in Visayas and Mindanao, Camacaylan, we have more than 600,000 families in the community. We spent more than P3 billion to help the families that were affected. This is through food, medicine, financial aid, and housing.

We have moved on from the reactive approach. Now we are not only proactive, but predictive as well, aided by digital tools.

This year, the part of the South Luzon Expressway TR4 from Santo Tomas City, Batangas, will be completed, and the rest will be sent to Quezon. Aside from the 137 evacuation centers that were built throughout the country,

Magsisimula na ngayon taon ang pagpapatayo ng ligtas Pinoy centers. Una doon sa mga lugar na madalas tama ng hagupit na panahon. Tulad ng Bicol, Eastern Sama, Bukidnon, Dabao de Oro. Two of the newly awarded petroleum service contracts are co-managed with the BARM government.

This is the first time in our political history BARM is now firmly set to pursue its strategic vision of energy security and total electrification for and in the Bangsamoro region. A long but worthwhile 15 years since its signing, we are now ready to formalize a historic completion of the government's peace pact with the CBA-CPLA.

And in accordance with the Republic Act No. 12317, the BARM electorate is now poised to partake in BARM's first regular parliamentary election. The members are also continuing to protest.

Now, we increased the loan limit to P10 million for housing. As an additional help to the pensioners of the SSS, we have been urging them to increase their pensions by 10% from June, which should have been increased by September. Since the administration started, the SSS has already protected 44 million Filipinos.

We have to do more to protect our children. We must protect them from the harmful influences and forces that exploit their vulnerability. The corrosive influence of fake news, the unfettered exposure to pornography, even to minors, the constant depiction of casual violence,

and the toxicity and hate culture pervasive in social media. The victims of violence and violence against us, who are our students, have left a great mark on their families and a bitter lesson for all of us. To the parents and children of victims and victims of violence against us,

Please accept our humble service. To the parents of Chris Lawrence Fabian, Joiancy Separa, and Ayessa Nicole Dazo, we are all so very proud of the unflinching bravery and heroic virtue that you have instilled in your children. They are an inspiration to us all.

Their courage and their selflessness, true Filipino qualities, are the virtues that these trying times call for. Our sports are also important. We have increased our support here by triple. Not only because of the effort it has brought, but also for health.

We are also supporting Alex Ayala. I hope many of you will be able to learn and play not only tennis but other sports. Since the last zone was built, almost 3 million of our fellow citizens have not been paid, even 5 million, for their treatment of our zero-balance billing in the DOH wards.

A common threat lies before us, directed against our dignity and self-respect. Of late, our very humanity has been called into question. Let me remind our friends and our detractors: Filipinos are a noble, kind, gracious and great race.

We are not greedy, we are not racists, we are not liars. Just recently we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the final and binding 2016 Arbitral Award, which stands as a definite benchmark for the interpretation and application of the UNCLOS. This is not a claim that we advance alone, nor is it one that we will abandon.

Your government will do all that is necessary to continue upholding this award. We are all Filipinos. Filipinos in spirit, Filipinos in blood. We will make sure that we are united and that we love our fellow Filipinos. In this regard, we will not give up. We will keep on fighting, just as we have been taught throughout our history.

Sa mga pang-aalipusta, hindi tayo matitinag. Sa manluluping, hindi tayo pasisiin.
