SONA
The third Monday of July is set up for the president of the
Philippines to deliver a speech about all of his achievements. He instead
focused on several issues, including the drug war, corruption, and federalism.
The nature of the
address does not only reflect on past promises. The SONA is highly significant
for participatory democracy such as south Africa that is characterized by an
open or transparent relationship between the government and the people. The President
address the nation and informs us of the government work. He reports back to
the nation on government’s successes, challenges and shortcomings in the previous
year.

concerns is more on human lives and not human rights. “Illegal drugs wasted
away lives and ruined relationships”. Duterte also promised to restore
environmental integrity of Boracay. He Said that protection of environment is
very important. Duterte highlighted that the war from illegal drugs is far from
over and will not be sidelined, instead, it will be as relentless and chilling.
Duterte also said budget for Mindanao is being increase.
