DAVAO CITY — After assuming presidency for a year, Presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr. claimed he sees ‘significant progress” in the country.

“That’s what I want to explain to people that we have made significant progress,” Marcos told reporters on Monday when he was asked about his preparation for his second State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Marcos is set to deliver his second SONA on July 24.

He added “We can see the difference now, not only in terms of how the systems work, how the government works, it is also how we are seen or judged in the international community. That’s equally important,”

However, he did not give further explanation how the government works and how much of the foreign pledges have actually been realized.

The SONA, according to the president would be very simple ““It’s just a performance report for Filipinos to see sa dami ng mga pronouncements, sa dami ng mga salita, kung ito ba ay talagang may kabuluhan. (It’s just a performance report for FIlipinos to see the number of pronouncements, the number of promises, if they really have meaning).
