House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III says the House of Representatives is ready to turn President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) into legislation and concrete government action. In statements reported by multiple outlets, Dy frames the SONA as providing legislative direction for the administration and says the House will move the priority measures through discussion and the legislative process.
Dy specifically cites proposals aimed at easing the tax burden on Filipinos, including an income tax cut mentioned as a key priority, as well as efforts to reduce electricity costs. Alongside these, he points to power reform bills as part of the House’s agenda to address electricity concerns.
The outlets agree that Dy made the remarks on Monday and that his comments are intended to signal the House’s readiness to support the administration’s legislative priorities following the SONA. The reporting does not detail timelines or specific bill texts, but it indicates that lawmakers will begin work aligned with the president’s stated priorities.
