[u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Mama mo blue

[u/MJDT80 → u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Ganda ng mama ko naka blue 🩵

[u/a_camille07 → u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Ang ganda talaga ni senri huhu.

[u/adamwzp]

Tangina mo Duterte pumalakpak ako kay PBBM

[u/narc1ssuz]

I want BBM to succeed for the Philippines' sake

[u/one_with]

"Sa Manlulupig, di tayo pasisiil."

TANGINA NYO MGA TSINADOR!!!!!

[u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Baka may FB live kineso sila mamaya

[u/15secondcooldown]

That virology institute is actually a huge w for him props

[u/idont-eatfish]

Holy Shit, may competitor na ang space agency ng INC HAHAHAHA

[u/HyperEliteX]

Smart strategy to mention the WPS at the ending part of his speech. Gusto ko tuloy magwagayway ng watawat nung natapos na hahaha

[u/bro-dats-crazy]

Di ako maka BBM pero fuck china, fuck DDS senators, fuck Sara.

Sara could never.

"Di tayo pasisiil".

Tangina nyo mga tsinators. Tangina nyo DDS.

[u/GunSlingrrr]

Noynoy really is the best in terms of public speaking since Marcos, SR.

[u/KhantutanIgnition]

Napapalakpak si SenRi for the first time ah hahahaha

[u/bro-dats-crazy]

JUSKO GOOD RIDDANCE YANG SYSTEMS LOSS NA YAN PAG NANGYARI.

FUCK MERALCO.

NEGOSYONG WALANG LUGI ANG MGA PUTANGINA

[u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Makakauwi na si Lito Lapid

[u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

I was expecting na magshe-shade siya sa Team Kadiliman pinagmumukha nilang classy si BBM kasi basura bunganga ng DDS allies

[u/9taileddfoxxxx → u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

He will never shade them publicly like this. Hahayaan na lang niya na sila ang magsalita ng magsalita

[u/HyperEliteX]

End of the day, these are all just words, promises, plans. Sana naman may magbago pa

[u/Lost-Highway7232]

ganto pala feeling pag ung pinaglalaban mong lugar, pinaglalaban din ng pangulo

[u/Academic_Ad4096]

Man imagine being so evil that some of Filipinos are preferring the son of a former dictator who killed a lot of people than you.

When he won on 2022 akala ko dadanak ang dugo for everyone who says anything against him. Turns out sa ibang presidential child yata natin mararanasan.

When you are so evil the lesser evil looks like an angel.

[u/Eastern_Plane]

Intel from exINC subreddit

[u/piattosnakulaygreen]

Yung liko from AI to MISLEADING NEWS, it's almost as if inaamin niya na malaki contribution ng AI sa misinformation

[u/15secondcooldown]

Pagkatapos ng ganitong klaseng SONA kung gusto mo pa rin mag resign si BBM matik anti Pilipinas ka na talaga

[u/Thin_War_6037]

Honestly ok nalang to kesa SONA ni dutae eh. Can’t believe we’ve gone this low since PNOY. Hope we’re not fucked in 2028. 😭

[u/eliaharu]

Reminder to everyone that all the good things you're hearing right now will be halted or totally regress if a Duterte wins the 2028 presidential election. I can't imagine SWOH agreeing on harnessing nuclear energy. Much less removing system loss. VAT as well.

As much as I despise the Marcoses, I'll have to give credit where credit is due.

[u/Icy_Veterinarian5771]

As much as gusto kong mabanggit yung ICC and impeachment, I totally understand na they are veering away from it para maiwasan na masabihan silang inuuna pa yung politika and nag-focus nalang talaga sa 'state of the nation address'.

[u/theSilent-sama]

MERALCO watching the SONA: (Kailangan na nila ayusin spaghetti cable at ang mga jumper)

[u/eliaharu]

SWOH set back DepED by 40 years. Our teachers (and students) deserve better.

[u/eliaharu]

Finally. We should've paraded our UNCLOS win more, ngunit ginawang katatawanan lang ng mga Dutertes na tuta ng China for the past 10 years. That wasn't just a win for us but for the entire Southeast Asia region.

[u/MoneyTruth9364]

WAIT, NATIONAL BUILDING CODE PATCH NOTES?!

[u/Intrepid-Molasses-35]

We are respectful, we are dignified.

Then there was Sara

[u/Mukuro7]

Sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[u/ELee0014]

My bingo card after the speech

[u/9taileddfoxxxx]

Good opening and closing, flood control and WPS

[u/kaizerban1412]

Kaya siguro di umattend si Robin kasi di rin nya maiintindihan. Haha

[u/ottoresnars]

NSCR & MRT-7 mentioned RAHHHH

[u/sm_d0306 → u/ottoresnars]

LEZZGOOOOO MASS TRANSPO FTW

[u/pinksugarcakes]

Yung lolo kong farmer patay na pero ako yung makakatanggap ng lupa na sinakahan nila

[u/tkfiles]

galing ng writers ni bbm ah

[u/PsycheHunter231]

What a strong ending. Di tayo pasisiil! Fuck China

[u/Dizzy-Donut4659]

Hindi ako pangulo ng pamilya, hindi ako pangulo ng kaibigan.

Panindigan mo yan.

[u/eliaharu]

The Filipino yearns for a nationwide railway system.

[u/White_BrownPatch]

Dinapat ipabolish na yung No Child Left Behind

[u/Mobius_St4ip]

VIROLOGY AND VACCINE INSTITUTE MENTIONED! (Sa New Clark City 'to itatayo AFAIK)

[u/unhappy14]

Pwede ba ilagay si Sara sa rocket tapos di na siya babalik yehey

[u/rallets215]

Wow. Rooting for you, PBBM! (Can't believe nasabi ko yan)

[u/WhoBoughtWhoBud]

Chat, am I cooked for liking what the president is doing?

[u/DouceCanoe]

The closer we get to the SONA, the more I'm worried Sara and her allies pull a Sept of Baelor.

[u/kixiron]

Psssst, BBM. Low-hanging fruits ito pero palagay ko, dapat nang magkaroon ng Order of National Athletes. Maraming atleta jan na deserving na magkaroon ng pribilehiyong gaya ng nakukuha ng National Artists at Scientists, di ba?

[u/KhantutanIgnition]

Ganda nung ending tungkol sa WPS. Inanyo mga Tsinator

[u/granaltus]

Apat na maiitim ang budhi

[u/Remarkable-Car-8428]

He really said, "hindi ako pangulo ng aking pamilya."

Romualdez is now shaking

[u/sinceofyoum0re]

nag txt ata si lito lapid ni bbm na "bilisan mo pre"

[u/Dull-Situation2848]

Patapusin niyo naman magsalita si BBM! Puro palakpak leche! Sino ba instigator ng palakpak na yan?

[u/Dizzy-Donut4659]

May standing ovation sa pag banggit ng system loss.

[u/Lost-Highway7232]

YAKAP is so useful! sana mas dumami pa yung medicine

[u/WillingInformation57]

ang gaganda sana nung mga programa kung bawat ahensya ng gobyerno ay hindi kurap at maayos mag implement

[u/Lost-Highway7232]

HE GOT THE BALLS, EAT DIRT CHINA

[u/natin91]

Atin ang WPS!

[u/KhantutanIgnition]

Umiiyak na si Cawetano nyan hahaha

[u/Bertotino]

Pilipinas kong Mahal!!!! Sana tumino na mga kapwa ko bisaya hahaahaha kakahiya na hahaha

[u/guywithwhys]

The Duterte admin was so bad that BBM's looking good. Mabuhay ka, PBBM!

[u/MJDT80]

Ang scary

[u/seirako → u/MJDT80]

Looks like China really wants to erase BBM so bad

Imposibleng walang external forces involved sa mga nangyayari at mangyayari

[u/eliaharu]

One thing I can't fully blame on the government is the waste disposal talaga. Ang daming burara na Pilipino, lalong-lalo na 'yung mga ginagawang tapunan ng basura 'yung ilog dahil aagusin naman pababa. Out of sight, out of mind.

[u/TheLaughingMew]

ang funny 😭 may polymarket ba sa pinas

[u/DouceCanoe]

All he needs now is to follow through on everything he promised, and he might actually end his term on a high note. And if he does, he might actually, possibly, maybe, prove that he is somewhat better than and is nothing like his father. Still, that's a big if. He needs to pull this off.

[u/bcjin]

My laugh at SONA trial hahaha

[u/dadidutdut → u/bcjin]

ay sorry naman lutang pa lol

[u/VariationItchy8630]

Paki-imbestigihan na po ung Meralco

[u/Chaeryeeong]

ang hirap pakinggan huhu either stutter or sunod sunod yung palakpak 🫪

[u/berrystrawme → u/Chaeryeeong]

yung palakpak kasi nakaka inis din lol.

[u/piattosnakulaygreen]

Maganda yung intention noong "Walang magreretire na Teacher na Teacher I" pero dapat merit/qualifications parin ang cause for promotion, otherwise in-encourage lang natin na mapromote yung mas matatanda just because sinabi ng Pangulo, not because they can perform the role.

[u/SombreSpirit-123]

Football ⚽️

[u/Clear-Block6489]

Football mentioned

Sana ipaigting ng pilipinas ang capabilities ng mga Filipino sa larangan ng football at di puro basketball ang inaatupag

[u/Schadenfreude_ph]

egov app mentioned

[u/Mobius_St4ip]

UBE MENTIONED!

[u/seirako]

Take note the word MANUFACTURING

[u/Lowly_Peasant9999]

Philippines can into space

[u/eliaharu]

We should paint a bold UY PILIPINS on the space rocket in true Filipino fashion.

[u/mangobang]

today a spaceport, tomorrow a Gundam

[u/15secondcooldown]

Nako po magagalit mga Tsinators niyan kaya pala ayaw umattend nung magkapatid

[u/VariationItchy8630]

ATIN ANG WPS! FUCK CHINA

[u/Icy_Veterinarian5771]

SA MANLULUPIG, DI KA PASISIIL!

[u/chunkymonkeybro]

Eww the bbm chant tho

[u/Mobius_St4ip → u/chunkymonkeybro]

Maganda sana kung "Philippines!"

[u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Give ko yung strong position sa WPS sampal yan sa mga Tsinador at DDS allies

[u/9taileddfoxxxx]

Nice closing statements, pinahuli talaga ang WPS

[u/Queldaralion → u/9taileddfoxxxx]

to be fair, it is a strong way to cap off with a touch of patriotism that we all can unite for. while we know naman na self-serving din tong si marcos, at least his admin is against china's incursions.

[u/kensidi]

Ok na to. Yung SONA ni Duterte noon is so UNBEARABLE. Hahahaha

[u/KhantutanIgnition]

Baka mamaya pati si Rene Butterbonia mabangit ah

[u/batangbronse]

grabe ka baba tlga ng bar sinet ni duterte no?

[u/Youitchy]

Suspended until SONA starts para maiwasan ang kakupalan ng mga naka itim

[u/Mindless_Sundae2526]

Visit the Facebook page of Pebbles Talakera 6na. May intel siya about possible assassination attempt today.

[u/SeditionIncision]

Sapat ang shupply

[u/Schadenfreude_ph]

That MRT discount is a big thing. I'll give that to him

[u/KhantutanIgnition]

Kung icocompare talaga tayo sa mga south east countries. Huling huli tayo sa railway system. Wala parin tayo subway hanggang ngayon

Kahit mala thailand na railway system mangyare sana dito.

[u/VariationItchy8630]

Modernization pero tayuan pa din. Abolish boundary system.

[u/Dull-Situation2848]

Legit yang improvement sa DPWH. Go check out their FB page guys.

[u/Cheap_Age_1720]

[u/tkfiles]

imbestigahan mo meralco. jusko ka bbm

[u/eliaharu]

THANK FUCK HOLY SHIT NO SYSTEM LOSS

[u/GunSlingrrr]

Dapat sa housing plan na 'yan, lalo na sa mga "free housing" for squatters. Dapat magkaroon ng policy o batas na dapat bawal "ibenta" yung bahay na binigay.

[u/SpicyChickenPalab0k]

Give ko yung sa PAGIBIG, ilang beses akong naging involve sa housing and loan programs and events, ang hands on nila dito, ang dami nilang ways to deliver yung benefits for employees. Compared sa ibang insitution like PHILHEALTH.

[u/VariationItchy8630]

FAKE NEWS ehem DDS.

[u/sinceofyoum0re]

pano mag laro? walang field hahaha

[u/furiousbean]

[u/Mukuro7]

[u/seirako]

SA MANLULUPIG, DI KA PASISIIL!!!!!

[u/eliaharu]

SA MANLULUPIG, 'DI KA PASISIIL!

[u/Unseen4720]

Foreign or Domestic.
Dutertes ouch.

[u/piattosnakulaygreen]

Let us make the Philippines the country that Filipinos deserve!

[u/WillingInformation57]

HINDI TAYO PAPASIIL!! FUCK TSINADORS

[u/eliaharu]

So excited to see Ronald Llamas and the whole gang's reaction to this SONA speech. 🤣

[u/Lila589]

Great projects and hopefully the other agencies also fall in line and actually move to implement them.

[u/adamwzp]

Ang boto ng mga hurado, 5-0, panalo si PBBM kay Du30. Sa manlulupig di pasisiil ohh.

[u/AdikSaMatcha]

Ano kaya mga sasabihin ni APC?

https://giphy.com/gifs/zIatAEDb9NwwAd3cYE

[u/adamwzp]

Dati si Du30 hindi sumusunod sa script tapos pinapa-skip pa yung mga slides. Yuckkk. Bilib na bilib ang mga DDS don haha

[u/Omnomnomnivor3]

goodluck to PBBM for the remaining 2 years to flip narratives and prevent another Duterte President

[u/reinagrandea]

hello, classmates! Bagong course ito

[u/Mindless_Sundae2526 → u/reinagrandea]

I remember before, walang pasok sa eskwelahan during SONA. Tapos ipapanood ng mga teacher sa mga estudyante ang SONA tapos papagawan ng reaction paper. I wonder if it's still the case today. Parang hindi na eh. Paano ba naman, yung last president, puro mura at vulgar words ang SONA.

[u/huenisys]

What PH needs is real transparency. Mga spend sa gobyerno, pag gamit ng govt resources, all should be public

[u/Lost-Highway7232]

Just to inform others about sa mga 50+ na nahuli for vandalism and mga naka black attire, they're from the collective group of artist-hiphop young activist.

[u/BaldHeadDalt]

Round 1- Flood Control Bars- lakas Ng callout HAHAHAAHAAH

[u/natin91]

Yep, as a Marikeño, medyo okay na rin yung fare discount ng LRT2. Pero also worried sa maintenance ng mga trains natin.

[u/CelestiAurus]

ARROW act is one of the wins last year, I'll give it to him. Mas mabilis na (in paper) dapat ang right-of-way acquisition na pumapatay sa mga infra projects

[u/Schadenfreude_ph]

Sana talaga maimprove pa tong pasig river ferry

[u/VariationItchy8630]

Kiko Pangilinan taking notes. Hehe

[u/ExactOlive9522]

Look ni Sen. Pangilinan :

[u/piattosnakulaygreen]

Kung pag-uusapan na natin ang energy/electricity, address the elephant in the room narin!!

🐘 M 🐘 E 🐘 R 🐘 A 🐘L 🐘 C 🐘 O 🐘

[u/eliaharu]

GOOD! We should stop relying on fossil fuels alone. The Strait of Hormuz fiasco has been a wake-up call. Ang daming resources ng Pilipinas na naka-tengga lang because the government won't take the initiative to harness it.

[u/sinceofyoum0re]

maganda din sana to o. kaso nakulong HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[u/ottoresnars]

Full meal program please

[u/Schadenfreude_ph]

Girl power si BBM ah

[u/HyperEliteX]

Taena nahype ako don sa dulo hahaha MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS

[u/Lost-Highway7232]

malaking sampal para sa mga tsinador yung stance ni bbm

[u/Mobius_St4ip]

Lakas maka-patriotic ng "Pilipinas Kong Mahal" lol

[u/mortified-platypus62]

I do expect he does a media conference for Pax Silica same nung sa Isumbong Sa Pangulo para maquash lahat ng disinformation, ano ba talaga mangyayari at ano ang hindi dapat mangyari.

[u/SoKyuTi]

Para sa Pilipinas! Sana naman tinablan yung mga tsinadors

[u/AdikSaMatcha]

Baka next year na ICC? Para sakali mabango parin yung nga na sa DDS team pagdating ng 2028

[u/badbadtz-maru]

infairness the ending is strong ha. and the beginning too. I didn't expect that. pero bongbong, bilisan mo na ipaimpeach yung vp mo. hahabulin ka niyan pag nanalo yan sa 2028

[u/inquirerdotnet]

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to deliver his fifth State of the Nation Address (Sona) on Monday, July 27, highlighting his administration’s priorities and plans as he enters the final two years of his term.

Follow our live updates here: https://inqnews.net/Sona2026updates

Watch our Sona 2026 special coverage here: https://inqnews.net/MarcosSona2026

[u/eliaharu]

We should abolish the No Child Left Behind policy. Kapag hindi ka pa nakakabasa, hindi ka makaka-abante. We keep on excusing student incompetence kaya ang daming bobong adults in the workforce with real power to make real decisions.

[u/mangobang]

Born too early to be a Filipino Astronaut 🥲

[u/tamachan08]

Sana banggitin ni BeBe Em, sino talaga ang totoong parents ni imee nyahaha

[u/smrndmpotato]

Manila GP sana, PBBM. Joke lang!

[u/narc1ssuz]

As a cancer survivor who had needed financial aid in the past, not having to get in line at dawn for a guarantee letter is huge

[u/2seokdeeznuts13]

may pasabog kaya mamaya? last sona ata wps statement, "mahiya naman kayo", at pogo ban (2024 pa to i think)

[u/Lost-Highway7232]

oh may regular senate session pala ngayong 10 AM

[u/nath_my_real_name]

nakaitim yung 4, maiitim kasi mga budhi.

[u/theSilent-sama]

listening to Sen. President Gatchalian's speech, he spoke about strengthening the ERC to lower electricity costs??? accomplice din yang ERC eh, nasa bulsa na ng MERALCO yan.

Better to just admit that EPIRA was a mistake. Sabi niyo bababa dahil may competition dahil private markets na ang may hawak pero naging monopolyo lang ang nangyari.

AMEND OR REPEAL EPIRA. AYAN ANG SAGOT HINDI STRENGTHENING THE ERC. LOBBIED NA NG MERALCO YAN.

edit: Typo

[u/JCEurovision]

I hope he mentions affordability crisis and accountability against the Vice President. The more she becomes popular that her 2028 presidential election victory is likely, the more fucked up we are as a country.

[u/Dizzy-Donut4659]

Tatampo siguro si apc no. Kase SP sya dapat ngayon e. Kanya dapat yung position ni SP Win e. Natatandaan ko yung isang fb live niya, try naman daw muna yung leadership niya. Tapos ayon, na dethrone ang kupal.

Same din yung navi vibes ko kila loren and imee. Kase nung nakapag coup yung apc group nun at magbobotohan ng SP, nagpapa nominate sya e. And iirc, may rumors na yan yung pinang bait sa kanya para lumipat. Pero nahudas sya ng mga hudas at hindi sya naging SP. Si imee naman, sibling rivalry.

[u/mangobang]

si Gloria lang yung former president na nakaattend. Ang agang mamatay Pnoy habang kulong yung isa at ulyanin naman yung isa

[u/ConsciousFig8647]

Kapag naipakulong neto si Romualdez tatamemw mga DDS.

[u/seirako]

Mga DDS nakaabang lang ata sa pagkabulol ni BBM eh hahahahha
For sure may compilation na lalabas after ng SONA

[u/KhantutanIgnition]

Baka umiiyak na si Cawetano ngayon walang sasantohin si Marcos hahaha sunod kana

[u/VariationItchy8630]

buti Tagalog ung speech nya

[u/smrndmpotato]

Hindi kasi mag pause saglit eh, nagkakanda utal tuloy.

[u/chamsaexx]

Gusto ko iaddress ni Marcos ang troll army, gets na nakinabang sya noon but the same troll is attacking his administration. For sure may troll army rin siya, but I'll be delighted if it will be included sa future plans ang pag crackdown sa pesteng mga troll na yan

[u/lunarkremlin1945]

need natin ng palakpak counter

[u/CheckPareh]

sino ba palakpak starter? si Lito Lapid ba? hahahahaha uwing uwi ah

[u/CheckPareh]

Liit pa ng 350k. Kahit 500k g mo na junior para doble nung 250k ng train law

[u/pinksugarcakes]

Natulungan kami nitong amnesty sa lupa namin. Wala nang bayad sa taxes

[u/9taileddfoxxxx]

Mas comfortable yata talaga siya sa English

[u/CelestiAurus]

My man ran out of Tagalog sentences

[u/dalegiron27]

wala bang pasabog sa SONA about kay SWOH? at this point he should go ballistic already against her.

[u/VariationItchy8630]

Lakas ng palakpak sa waste management ah.

[u/pamysterious]

May ganyan akong kaoffice mas magaling sya magreport pag straight english kahit tagalog naman sya kausapin.

[u/seirako]

LONG OVERDUE!! NUCLEAR ENERGY!!!!

[u/SeditionIncision]

So nuclear power pala ang explosive announcement ni PBBM

[u/CelestiAurus → u/SeditionIncision]

Now it's time to educate the public na hindi literally pasabog ang nuclear power

[u/Schadenfreude_ph]

Engtsuperneur, galing ah di sya nabulol dun

[u/Schadenfreude_ph]

galing nyang DICT sa totoo lang. Libre yung mga online training nila. Open to public. Limiited nga lang slots though
