July 25, 2016 | Manila – President Rodrigo Duterte delivered his first State of the Nation Address also known as SONA in Batasang Pambansa, Quezon City. His first SONA marks as the first unorthodox address that does not dwell on the past as what the known commentators said.
Here are the thirteen important highlights of his address consolidated
by ABS-CBN News.
1. The War on Drugs
“We will not stop, until the last drug lord, the last
financer, and the last pusher, have surrendered and put behind bars… or below
the ground, they so wish. Do not do drugs."
2. Human Rights
“Human Rights… must work to uplift human dignity. But human
rights cannot be used as an excuse or shield to destroy the country.
3. West Philippine Sea Disputes
“We strongly affirm and respect the outcome of the case
before the Permanent Court of Arbitration as an important on the ongoing
efforts to pursue the peaceful resolution and management of our disputes.”
4. Ceasefire with the Rebels
“I am now announcing a unilateral ceasefire with the CCP, NPA,
NBF.”
5. Taxation Reform
“We will lower personal and corporate income tax...”
6. Reproductive Health
“The implementation of the Responsible Parenthood and
Reproductive Health Law must be put into full force and in effect.”
7. Traffic in Metro Manila
“The revival of the Pasig River Ferry Service System is a viable
option… For the LRT, the operating hours shall be extended from 9:30PM to
10:30PM… So marami pang mga batang uuwi n’yan (Because many students are still going home at that time).”
8. Airport Decongestion
“Different approaches are being considered to decongest NAIA
including the possible transfer of the general aviation… I’m offering Sangley
Point… kasi kaiihihan ko ang isang runway
(because I can’t hold my pee on a traffic
runway), I can make a brand new runway there. I assure you.”
9. THIS WILL BE A CLEAN GOVERNMENT
10. Cutting the Red Tape
“Processing time in issuing permits and licenses shall be
reduced to the barest minimum. In my City (Davao City), it is only three days
for the local government.”
11. Media Killings
“This government does not condone violence and repression of
media…”
12. Improve Internet Speed
“I have also ordered
the newly created DICT, Information and Communication Technology to develop
National Broadband Plan to accelerate the deployment of the fiber optics,
cables and wires and other technologies to improve internet speed…”
13. Free Wi-Fi Access
"Wi-Fi access shall be provided at no charge in selected
public places including parks, plazas, public libraries, schools, government hospitals,
train stations, airports, and seaports. ‘Di
ba (isn’t it)?"
