President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s fourth SONA focused on accountability for failed flood projects, job creation, improved services in health, education, and agriculture, and major infrastructure and defence plans to support national growth and sovereignty.
KEY POINTS
- Marcos ordered audits and public disclosure of failed flood control projects, promising to hold corrupt officials accountable, and vetoed questionable budget items for 2025.
- The administration committed to job generation, agricultural aid, affordable food access, improved education and healthcare services, free public WiFi, and expanded social welfare programs.
- Major transport projects and energy infrastructure will continue, with renewed focus on national defence amid rising tensions in the West Philippine Sea, alongside consistent foreign policy.
