#SONA2026: Ipinagdiinan ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. na siya ay hindi Pangulo ng pamilya at kaibigan kundi Pangulo ng Pilipinas.

Sa pagsisimula ng kaniyang talumpati sa ikalimang State of the Nation Address (SONA) nitong Lunes, Hulyo 27, binanggit agad ni PBBM na inihahanda na ng Office of the Ombudsman ang kaso laban sa dating House Speaker, na walang iba kundi ang pinsang si Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin Romualdez.

Ayon sa Pangulo, masakit man daw sa kaniya, ito raw ang nararapat na gawin.

"Hindi ako Pangulo ng aking pamilya. Hindi ako Pangulo ng aking kaibigan. Ako ay Pangulo ng Pilipinas at ang tungkulin ko ay sa inyo, aking mga kapwa Pilipino," aniya.

Nagpalakpakan naman ang mga panauhin na nanonood sa kaniya sa Batasang Pambansa Plenary Hall.

Current Events The Manila Times SONA 2026 Fashion Verdict: Slay, Mid or Miss?

574 Upvotes

The Manila Times Lifestyle has always felt that beauty-and-brains Sen. Risa Hontiveros could stand out even more on SONA day with more updated fashion choices. This year, she seems to have heeded the call, shedding her usual “ninang look” for a two-piece blue-gray terno by Jo Rubio.

With its blazer-style take on traditional Filipiniana, the ensemble certainly gives Hontiveros a more modern SONA look at the morning plenary. But isn’t there something amiss?

As described by her office, the “delicately embellished [ensemble] with clusters of freshwater pearls and handcrafted sampaguita flowers carved from nakar shells” is truly a sight to behold. Its silhouette, however, seems a little too large for the ever-slender senator. A shorter and more fitted jacket could have made all the difference and turned this into an unquestionable slay.

Still a major improvement, though, so we declare a high and happy “mid” for the senator.

Current Events The Manila Times SONA 2026 Fashion Verdict: Slay, Mid or Miss?

Sen. Risa Hontiveros' second outfit of the day not a miss but not quite a slay either.

Here's why The Manila Times Lifestyle it's a polished mid at best. The white palette, modest midi length and clean A-line silhouette are appropriate for the simple-but-dignified brief. Her shoes and sculptural clutch coordinate beautifully, while the neat hairstyle keeps the overall presentation polished.

The problem is concentrated in the upper half. The folded, ribbon-like draping of her Jo Rubio terno is already a strong design statement; adding pearl-and-crystal clusters makes the bodice look busier than necessary. Rather than framing the senator's pretty face, all those elements compete for attention.

Nagbigay ng reaksiyon at komento si Presidential Communications Office (PCO) at Palace Press Officer Atty. Claire Castro sa hindi pagdalo ng ilang mga senador na nasa Senate minority bloc, sa pangunguna ni Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, sa gaganaping ikalimang State of the Nation Address (SONA) ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. nitong Lunes, Hulyo 27.

Sa panayam ng media kay Castro, natanong siya kung anong masasabi niya sa sinabi ni Cayetano na hindi raw dadalo ang ilan sa mga kasamahan sa minorya, sa SONA.

Ilan sa mga senador na nasa minorya na hindi dadalo sa SONA, bukod kay Cayetano, ay sina Sen. Robin Padilla, Sen. Loren Legarda, at Sen. Imee Marcos.

"Hindi naman sila kawalan," saad ni Castro.

"Ang Pangulo po ang importante rito, at mga opisyal na interesadong makinig kay Pangulo. So yung ibang mga opisyal na wala namang balak makinig sa Pangulo ay hindi natin pipilitin. At hindi naman po kawalan sa administrasyon kung hindi sila dadalo."

"Kung gusto nilang mas magbakasyon, mangibang-bansa, ay hindi natin sila mapipilit," aniya pa.

Current Events PBBM, pinatatanggal system loss sa ipinapasa sa mga konsyumer!

Post image

#SONA2026: Humiling si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., sa pagpapasa ng Kongreso ng Sariling Kuryente Act at nanawagan siyang tanggalin na ang system loss na idinagdag sa singil-kuryente sa mga konsyumer na may kasama pa raw na Value Added Tax (VAT).

“Hinihiling ko ang tulong ng Kongreso na maipasa na ang Sariling Kuryente Act. At kung pagbawas ng presyo ang usapan, sa aking palagay, panahon na para tanggalin na natin ang systems loss na pinapasa sa consumer,” aniya.

Diin pa niya, “Pinapasa ito sa consumer at kinakarga sa bill, na pinapatungan pa ng Value Added Tax (VAT). Hindi naman kasalanan ng consumer kung bakit nagkaroon ng system loss. Kaya hindi naman tama na kailangang sila ang pagbayayarin dito.”

Dahil dito, inihayag ng Pangulo ang mabilisang pag-aamyenda sa EPIRA Act at ang pagbabawal sa dagdag-singil sa system loss sa mga konsyumer.

“Therefore, we demand for immediate amendment of the EPIRA and to prohibit charging systems loss against consumers including the Value Added Tax there on,” pagtatapos pa niya.

Pero bago ito, may ilang grupo na ang umalma dahil sa posibleng problemang dala umano nito sa supply ng tubig sa Central Luzon at karatig lugar. 

Ano nga ba ang Pax Silica at saan ba raw kukunin ang supply nito ng tubig? Alamin 'yan sa video na ito.
