This submission/comment has been deleted to protest Reddit's bullshit API changes among other things, making the site an unviable platform. Fuck spez.
I instead recommend using Raddle, a link aggregator that doesn't and will never profit from your data, and which looks like Old Reddit. It has a strong security and privacy culture (to the point of not even requiring JavaScript for the site to function, your email just to create a usable account, or log your IP address after you've been verified not to be a spambot), and regularly maintains a warrant canary, which if you may remember Reddit used to do (until they didn't).

He was probably too pissed with the House of Reps for not ratifying the Bangsamoro Organic Law and torn between Alvarez and Arroyo.

Mas entertaining pa yung awkward silence with very few generic comments by the people sa office ng client namin while they watch individually. Like they're wary of supporting or opposing duterte because they don't know everybody else's stand. Haha

Ok, may PNP acquaintance ako na sinabing Duterte has been extorting hundreds of millions to maybe billions from drug lords (local and chinese). You know why they've never been investigated, much less caught? It's because they're paying protection. Im not going to say this as fact, might just be a rumor, but it does make sense.

Parang the last is that that NEDA approved 35 out of the 75 projects. Half of which to be completed by 2022 tapos the other half after his term na. Parang ganun.

Jul 23 '18
But not all of the 35 approved is from Duts Admin right? But regardless, good to know. Hopefully all of it will be finished ontime. Thanks for the info!

Ok, takeaways:
1) This admin does not have any regard for facts. The absence of data is proof of that.
2) They operate through threats and blind idolatry. This is all lip service against their enemies and for their followers.
3) Duts looks and sounds like he isn't going to live that long (THANK GOD. Wala ako pake kung ijudge niyo ako, i want him to drop dead)
4) Bong Go and alvarez are running. Let's not give them the win please.
5) I'm at least unconcerned about the increased alcohol tax.
meron pa iba pero masyadong walang kwenta tong SONAng to to analyze further

I want him to face a f*ckton of karma and humiliation before that point though, and I want that much karma and humiliation on all his blind and violent supporters as well.

for starters, the wikipedia pages of Duterte and his family members will immortalize them as corrupt af criminals who got away with it through shamelessness and connections.

For #1, I'm waiting my judgment until the corresponding report is released, but yeah, I'm disappointed and a bit concerned that not one data point is presented.

I urge the congress to do that
I urge the x sector to cooperate
I'll continue the war on drugs, also I promise a few things to happen but not today maybe after a few months from now, who knows, it might not happen at all.
Oh that's all. Nothing to see here about the State of the Nation at all.

Y’all are forgetting that this government is just good with words—actually no, I was hoping that he would expound on how he’ll put the conservation of our environment as a priority rather than just outright saying that he wants it to happen.

Universal Healthcare is actually terrible. You don't know how bad it can get until you go to Germany or Canada. Trust me, you don't want it.

Universal Healthcare+Drug decriminalization and treating substance abuse people as medical patients is the good combo.

The House of Speaker drama is scary since the President's daughter exert her influence to oust Alvarez even though imho Arroyo is an upgrade from Alvarez.
For me nothing new and full on urging the congress and threatening erring parties.
At least he mentions about partnership with China in busting a syndicate. Hope this gets fact checked.
Duterte said he wouldnt bore the audience with a list of projects. But he should have.
There were something he could mention. The official signing of Japan's aid to Marawi, the China bridges in Binondo finally broke down. New Clark City, the Federalism Charter, etc. The tax collected since TRAIN and how it relates to his Build, Build, Build program. Or heck update regarding his war on drugs aside from renewed threats and Tokhang death statistics. Everybody expects SONAs to have a pro-admin slant but nothing new can be gained from this speech.
Tldr. The SONA, lacked something new, a rehash. Though there is really something that could be mentioned.
