Davao City Rep. Paolo "Baste" Duterte criticized President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, July 27. He emphasized that showing sympathy for his cousin, former Speaker Martin Romualdez, falls flat while millions of Filipinos endure poverty, rising food costs, and steep electricity rates.
He asserted that the public demands truth, justice, and action against corruption regardless of surnames or influence rather than empathy for those in power.
