President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says he may revisit corruption issues he raised in his 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in his fifth SONA scheduled for Monday, July 27. Speaking to reporters on Friday in Pampanga, Marcos responded to a question about whether he would again tackle those corruption concerns with the brief remark, “Abangan ang susunod na kabanata” (“Stay tuned for the next chapter”). The reports describe his comment as cryptic, without confirming what specific topics he will cover in the upcoming address. Marcos also said his 2026 SONA is more than 90 percent complete, though he expects to continue revising it up to shortly before he delivers it. Multiple outlets attribute the same statement to Marcos and place it in the context of whether he will follow up on the corruption issues and prior remarks from last year’s speech, which included a rebuke directed at those involved in corruption allegations involving flood control projects. The upcoming SONA is set to be delivered before a joint session of Congress.
