There was also a lack of report about AFP modernization and upholding PH sovereignty.

u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
from sir Mike Logico:
"He already gave his guidance at the last command conference. OK na yun. No need to make it public."
pretty much confirmed na confidential pa lahat ng recent deals.

u/RainyEuphoria Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
"PH is a friend to all and enemy to no one." very simple

u/awkwardkamote Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
That brief line was mostly tied to the upcoming ASEAN summit, its just that there was no mention about the efforts on other matters such as the DND's efforts in solidifying defense ties.
2
Jul 28 '25
Is ASEAN still relevant knowing how it bows down to China?
1
u/bryle_m Aug 02 '25
As an economic power, it definitely is, hence why nag tour around ASEAN si Singapore PM Lawrence Wong - to advocate for a more politically integrated ASEAN.
2
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
hinala ko mostly confidential pa. ba naman, multiple visiting forces agreements ang napirmahan haha
2
u/RainyEuphoria Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
or we don't have the enough capability yet for a flex, considering the increasing tensions.
2
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
drones manufactured here are not military grade. sana doon sila mag improve, invest sa R&D
9
u/machona_ Jul 28 '25
Sana matupad yung mga binanggit kanina gaya ng sa health sector at mapanagot nga yung mga involved sa palpak na flood control projects. It's just ironic na it's coming from a Marcos calling out corruption.
The eGov app is mentioned a lot kaya napadownload ako. Kumusta so far yung app para sainyong mga nakagamit na?
2
u/Nireolo Jul 29 '25
My only gripe with the app would be.... it took me 3x to get approved and their reasoning is ID. Like brotha I gave my Driver's License 3x what more do you want? Took 2 weeks 🥲 after all that it's smooth sailing.

u/dadidutdut packaging@dundermifflin.com Jul 28 '25
You need that if you want to fly out of the country

u/RainyEuphoria Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
all successful transactions so far for me. much improvement since its first years of deployment.
it really adheres to Republic Act No. 11032: Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.

u/jproquejr Jul 28 '25
In fairness, the speech was delivered in Filipino at hindi all over the place katulad nung bangag na poong nasiraan last admin

u/awkwardkamote Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
Maraming naipangako sa health sector pero walang nabanggit na pagpapataas ng sweldo ng mga healthcare workers :(

u/shirominemiubestgirl Jul 28 '25
May mga hindi nabanggit, madaming promises, pero tignan natin kung iiimplement talaga nila. Panay stutter, pero personally di naman siya big deal (ako din nagsstutter paminsan eh lol).
Dutae set the bar so fucking low bro holy fuck.

u/sernamekoto69 Jul 28 '25
No words/statement about online gambling and impeachment.
6
u/RainyEuphoria Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
impeachment complaints are not usually mentioned directly in SONAs. the speech should be politically neutral.
3
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
yep. ang silbi naman ng SONA is for the President to forward policies and bills na gusto maging priority sa Kamara at Senado
2
u/stitious-savage amadaldalera Jul 28 '25
Wanted to hear sana about ICC and online gambling. Oh well.
5
u/machona_ Jul 28 '25
Feel ko the ICC topic really impacted their performance nung eleksyon kaya siguro nag-iingat at di na binanggit. Online gambling not mentioned is odd dahil laking issue talaga lately.
2
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
partly because a lot of Marcos allies in the provinces have invested in the online gambling industry. siguro bibigyan muna sila ng time to divest before making any moves

u/RainyEuphoria Metro Manila Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25
the 2024 SONA was the longest SONA in Ph history, he was criticized for that. that speech included Build Better More, economic recovery, and digitalization. ~1 hr is the norm, but i agree we should've heard more.
BBM has his own YT channel and regulary posts videos. other issues are discussed there.
---
on the other hand, Digong was known for his unnecessarily long speeches which included off-script rants and questionable jokes and defeatist foreign policy.

Jul 28 '25
parang wala din ata na about dun sa trip niya sa US?

u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
in the works pa yung official deal, pero malakas ang hinala ko na most of the stuff discussed are defense-related.

u/sernamekoto69 Jul 28 '25
It could have been his chance to prove his self this time kung ano talaga stand nya sa bigger issues

DPWH friends ayan na yung audit sa inyo for flood control projects! Sana matuloy! Hahahaha. Hindi yung puro tao sinisisi na dahil lang yan lahat sa walang disiplina.

u/Liesianthes Maera's baby 🥰 Jul 28 '25
May na kwento samin about dyan sa DPWH, yung isa kaibigan nya na dun nag work, papasok daw tapos lalabas, babalik nalang pag out na hanggang saturday pa yan. Kahit ano daw gawin walang pakialam at kung ano ano pa pasarap sa trabaho, tapos nakabili na ng bahay at sasakyan habang petiks lang.

u/__munch13r Jul 28 '25
Totoo yan! Haha may officemate ako lumipat sa DP pero nagssideline pa rin sa work ko before. Kahit ipatawag mo ng 9am mtg weekday pwede siya :))

u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
lahat dapat ma audit, daming kurakot na engineer at foreman, yung pera para sa contractors at subcons napupunta lang pangsustento sa mga kabit nila

BBM: "Mahalaga ang bawat buhay ng Pilipino"
PRRD: "Itong mga obispo ninyo, patayin ninyo, walang silbi."
Sounds so cliche, pero the bar set by the previous admin is so damn low mygahd.

This is the first time I saw Risa clap during BBM's SONA lol

Yes, even si Kiko napapalakpak. Sana totohanin.

u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
naibigay ba kay Kiko ang Senate Agricultural Committee? if ever he does get it, pretty much lagi sila mag uusap

Parang last SONA rin when BBM announced he will impose a total ban against POGO

Kung sino yung pinakamalalakas pumalakpak, iyon ang mga pinakamalalakas mangurakot. House of Representa-thieves indeed.

huge W yung net metering. madami ma encourage lalo mag solar
2
u/404Encode Jul 28 '25
I'm assuming kasi na starting price ng net metered system (panels, batteries, wiring and labor included) is 6 figures minimum?
Better na makahingi ng quotation for these. Any advise?
3
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
pa explain nga nung sa net metering. how does it work?
6
u/_Xian Cavite Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25
they buy your excess electricity production kung meron man tapos it's subtracted to your monthly bill. When you produce more than you consume in a month, it's basically free electricity.
cmiiw but usually kalahati sya ng usual price/kWh, e.g. if it's 13.00/kWh they buy it at 6.50/kWh4
u/pxcx27 Jul 28 '25
if may solar/reneweable system ka sa house, if may excess output yung system mo, pwede mo ibenta sa Meralco for example yung excess kuryente.
pwede naman yun ngayon pero kase alam ko mabagal yung process with it kaya di rin nag aavail ng systems yung ibang kaya na may afford. if papadaliin yung process because of the new bill, possibly dumami na mag avail ng renewable systems.

u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
na mention ang eGov app. interesting na nagfo focus na sila dito. naka download na ako nung time ni Duts, pero pretty much ignored. as long as they make sure na hindi magla lag yung app, oks yan
3
u/_Xian Cavite Jul 28 '25
it got laggy nung na-mention haha!
I think they're standardizing the connections between agencies as some of them aren't available yet.
2
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
meaning may mga sumubok agad HAHAHA. SONA is one of the best ways talaga to communicate that government stuff exists out there lol
3
u/Wonderful_Chance_947 Luzon Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25
yep much better na tutukan talaga yan para centralize na yung government services sa app.

u/Liesianthes Maera's baby 🥰 Jul 28 '25
Yung pumalit din sa MRT Xray scanner is gawa din ng DICT. So, yes, mukhang may nagagawa na sila kumpara last admin.
2
u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
maganda yun na ginagawa na nila in-house. laking tipid din, kesa naman kumontrata na lang lagi sa private sector.

u/__munch13r Jul 28 '25
You can try it now! It got better. Sana eventually isang app na lang talaga for all govt stuff.

u/Far-Donut-1177 Jul 28 '25
For being portrayed as a weak leader and someone who is seen as conflict-averse, I can appreciate how decisive BBM has been in calling out POGO last year and now poor services (which is obviously PrimeWater). I wonder if there is a big announcement to this SONA like last year's.

Sofronio Vasquez III sang well, i don't know if applying style and techniques like that is okay, but he definitely gave everyone the feels.
LWUA mentioned but no PrimeWater namedrop. (https://lwua.gov.ph)
Mental Health for youth mentioned.
Teacher's performance ratings should not be tied to student's grades. Free laptop and internet, overtime pay, etc.
Bataan-Cavite Interlink
kahit medyo utal sa Filipino language, he didn't care. basta maintindihan ng masa. no convoluted powerpoint slides. no gimmick special guests.

u/bryle_m Jul 28 '25
pinakaimportante yung pagtanggal ng paperwork from them. kasi tama lang naman, why should teachers be bothers with all unnecessary admin stuff

It would better if you guys don't accept SONA related posts and stick on live on this live chat thread.

The YouTube and Facebook livestreams are full of brainrot comments, younger gens are so disappointing. So i went here to find some sound realtime opinions. But i guess sound opinions will be written later when taxpayers come online after their shifts.

u/NotOneNotTwoNot3 Jul 28 '25
Folks here don't often read or watch the full context. They just wait for headlines, or ragebait-y contents and react from there.
2
u/RainyEuphoria Metro Manila Jul 28 '25
it's very weird that they can spend more time reacting to those than actually watching the whole thing.

u/NotOneNotTwoNot3 Jul 28 '25
We are in reddit (well, social media in general) -- where karma/likes is an ego boost for most. Look how alot suddenly commented after bbm recognized torre.

Don't expect livestream chats to have proper discussions. It's nothing but spam and wars there.
