NAGA CITY\u2014Vice President Leni Robredo is attending President Duterte\u2019s third State of the Nation Address (Sona) on July 23 despite the advice from some supporters who think she shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThere are people telling me not to go because I might get insulted again,\u201d Robredo said on Friday. \u201cBut that is the obligation of the Vice President. I won\u2019t lose anything if I would be insulted. I\u2019m ready to face anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Speaking to reporters on July 10, Mr. Duterte called Robredo \u201cincompetent,\u201d saying she would never be ready to become President. His stinging remarks against Robredo came hours after she said she was willing to lead and unite the opposition against the Duterte administration.<\/p>\n\n

Robredo on Friday said she wanted to hear Mr. Duterte address the \u201calarming issues\u201d in the country on his third Sona.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn the first Sona, of course, we heard the President\u2019s aspirations for the country, and in the succeeding Sona we wanted to hear the achievements of the administration,\u201d Robredo said at the press conference on \u201cAngat Buhay,\u201d her office\u2019s flagship program, in this city.<\/p>\n\n

\u2018What are the plans?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn the coming third Sona we want to hear about the alarming issues in our country like the inflation rate, the rise in unemployment based on the latest survey despite economic growth, and where this campaign against illegal drugs is going,\u201d Robredo said. \u201cWe want to know what these mean and what are the plans for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The President has promised to keep his upcoming Sona under 35 minutes, but Malaca\u00f1ang is not discounting the possibility he would deviate from his prepared speech, given his tendency to make lengthy, off-the-cuff remarks.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cKnowing the President \u2026 You know that if he\u2019s in the mood, he doesn\u2019t read his prepared speech,\u201d Salvador Panelo, chief presidential legal counsel, said in an interview on Radyo Pilipinas. \u201cThe President, oftentimes when he speaks extemporaneously, speaks from the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

As the Palace put it, the President\u2019s third Sona\u2014which will be directed by filmmaker Joyce Bernal\u2014is coming \u201cstraight from the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin Andanar said among the expected highlights of the President\u2019s address were his plans following the bicameral approval earlier this week of a bill creating the Bangsamoro region.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI guess what makes it more exciting really is the recently signed bill on the Bangsamoro,\u201d Andanar said. \u201cAnd we expect that the President will give a hint on his plans in the coming months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
