President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will deliver his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, July 27, 2026, according to multiple reports. The address is expected to cover the country’s current status, key achievements, and priorities and plans for the period ahead. One outlet describes the 2026 SONA as the president’s penultimate address, placing it near the end of his current term. The lead-up to the speech is also framed in the context of domestic political divisions during his administration. In separate reporting, the upcoming SONA is linked to last year’s remarks by the president, “mahiya naman kayo,” which have prompted scrutiny and investigations connected to a reported multi-billion peso flood control corruption scandal. While the cited articles focus on what the public should expect and why the speech is being watched closely, they do not provide additional details on specific policy proposals or announcements. Overall, the sources agree on the date, the president’s role, and the broad purpose of the SONA, while highlighting that it is occurring amid ongoing political and investigative developments.
