Duterte’s Third SONA: Full of Surprises

Historically, the third Monday of July is set up for the President of the Philippines to deliver a speech of his accomplishments and his plans for the next few months of his tenure. It has also become a carnival of sorts in the last few years for fashion mavens in the Senate and the House of Representatives to showcase their gowns and barongs to the full view of the masses. The hitherto political spectacle has sometimes become a circus of sorts.

That is not to mention yet, the annual mass demonstrations of anti-government organization bent on shouting their mantras and showing off their artistic skills as they brandish their effigies reflecting the different issues affecting the Philippines. The past few years, it has become a demonstration of people who have several points of contention against the Duterte administration – from women’s groups, to urban poor groups, to youth organizations – everyone seems to have a point against the regime. What started out as a promising tenure, with invitations to pro-poor leaders and anti-government personalities has since become an interesting tableau of ideas and perspectives that still has four more years in play.
