A new era of deliverance and direction

BEFORE President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. even takes the podium today, the message is clear: this is a government that delivers. In just three years, the Marcos administration has steered the nation from crisis to confidence— replacing dysfunction with direction, and restoring public trust in institutions through steady, focused leadership.

More than a constitutional obligation, this year’s State of the Nation Address affirms a rare alignment in government: an Executive with vision and a Congress working with urgency. Together, they have ushered in a new era of peace, prosperity, and principled governance.

UNITY IN ACTION

Gone are the days of gridlock and grandstanding. With 32 out of 64 priority measures enacted under the Common Legislative Agenda, the 19th Congress and the Marcos administration have delivered reforms with speed and substance. This collaboration reflects not just political unity— but a shared resolve to build systems that uplift lives and secure the nation’s future.

Infrastructure has been expanded, social protection deepened, and digital transformation accelerated. From roads to ports, from e-governance to the national ID rollout, the “Build Better More” vision is being realized not only through construction—but through connectivity, inclusivity, and innovation.

INVESTING IN PEOPLE AND PROGRESS

The legislative achievements of this administration lay a strong foundation for long-term growth. Laws like the Maharlika Investment Fund, the PPP Code, the Ease of Paying Taxes Act, and CREATE MORE modernize the economy, improve revenue systems, and open new doors for investment.

Job creation and enterprise development are also front and center. The Trabaho Para sa Bayan Act, Tatak Pinoy, OTOP, and ETEEAP reforms empower workers, MSMEs, and returning OFWs. New laws in education and health—from mental health support in schools to expanded specialty care outside Metro Manila—ensure that reforms are felt where they matter most: in the lives of ordinary Filipinos.

Consumer protection, cybercrime deterrence, energy security, and environmental sustainability are no longer peripheral issues—they are now part of the country’s core development agenda.

STABILITY, SECURITY, AND SOVEREIGNTY

President Marcos has redefined national security—not only in terms of defense, but in peace, order, and sovereignty. Insurgencies have weakened, crime rates are down, and local governments are more empowered. Defense upgrades and stronger regional alliances have also fortified the country’s stance amid external threats.

This stability has made space for growth. Businesses are expanding, foreign investments are flowing in, and communities are planning for the future. Quietly but decisively, the nation is regaining its rhythm.

HOPE RESTORED, NATION RENEWED

What defines this administration is not just performance—but tone. The President governs without spectacle, reforms without drama, and leads with quiet resolve. Agencies are working. Projects are progressing. Policies are aligned. The people are seeing a government that listens, adapts, and delivers.

Most importantly, hope is returning. In place of division, there is direction. In place of noise, there is movement.

SONA 2025: BAGONG PILIPINAS IN MOTION

Today’s SONA is not just a report—it is a reaffirmation. The work is far from done, but the country is on solid footing. The path is clearer, the institutions are stronger, and the people are behind the President.

This is not just another chapter in governance.

This is Bagong Pilipinas—anchored in vision, powered by unity, and committed to every Filipino.
