Netizens are happy with President Marcos' 1st SONA and tweeted their comments and reactions.
Netizens expressed their satisfaction in social media about the 1st State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand Marcos’ Jr. yesterday, which dominated Twitter trends from reactions of netizens who watched or listened to it.
One Twitter users, TV host Bianca Gonzalez, who admitted not having voted for Marcos praised him for delivering a “good” SONA.
Gonzalez said the policies and programs he spelled out are clearly for the benefit of the country.
"[P]BBM is our duly elected President and I felt his SONA was good. Kung successful ang admin, success din ng Bayan (If the administration becomes successful, that is also the success of the nation)," she said in a Twitter post. "Here's hoping this admin delivers on the promises, para sa Bayan (for the country)."
The SONA took 1.14 hours emphasizing his administration’s agenda on economic recovery, Covid-19 pandemic response, foreign policy, and legislative priorities. The most applauded statements include his emphasis to bring the much-needed health facilities outside Metro Manila and his commitment not to surrender the country’s territory.

"I teared up when PBBM talked about the importance of STEM for the students who [have] the skills, but couldn’t get enough education in that matter. As a STEM student and having a STEM-related course, which is Architecture, I have no words but to feel thankful,"
Thea Tan (@theadtan) praised Marcos for stressing the need to invest in the digital infrastructure, saying “people in [technology industry] are happy and grateful to hear this."
"The speech was written by PBBM himself, he knew his target audience -- he used the English medium while discussing the economic plan and shifted to our native tongue when he discussed agendas concerning the Filipinos. The 'how' was more thorough and clearer the way I understood it during campaign and now that he's the President. His delivery whether with prompter or not was fit for a statesman -- very dignified," said Weiner Henry Caparros.
Thousands of Marcos’ supporters from Metro Manila and nearby provinces flocked the IBP Road in Quezon City on Monday to attend the “Kilos Suporta para sa Pagbangon at Pagkakaisa – PBBM SONA.” Clad in red BBM shirts, face masks, and caps, attendees cheered for the President and flashed his signature peace sign.
