President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is preparing for his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) next week, according to the Presidential Communications Office (PCO).

Marcos is on top of finalizing his speech, the PCO said Wednesday, adding that he does not have any appointment on Wednesday to prepare for the SONA.

The President recently said Malacañang will release a detailed report to the public to thoroughly explain the contents of his third SONA on July 22.

The President delivers the SONA every year, usually every last Monday of July, to report the state of the country, unveil the administration’s agenda, and ask Congress to pass priority measures.

The next session of the 19th Congress will open in the morning of July 22.

In the afternoon, the President will deliver his third SONA before a joint session of Congress. (PNA)
