CNN Philippines rolls out an extensive, multi-platform
coverage of President Rodrigo Duterte’s 4th State of the Nation Address (SONA)

Administration, the President will deliver his annual address at the Batasang
Pambansa before newly elected members of the 18th Congress, dominated by the
ruling PDP-Laban and its allies.
The network’s award-winning journalists led by Pia
Hontiveros and Pinky Webb will provide real-time and comprehensive coverage of
the annual address with a mix of live news, special programs and in-depth
interviews with key newsmakers.
Correspondents Joyce Ilas and Xianne Archangel will be
across the opening of the 18th Congress ahead of the President’s annual
address. The network’s Malacañang
correspondent Ina Andolong will be following the President’s movements all
throughout the day. David Santos and Gerg Cahiles will be closely monitoring
the security situation before, during, and after the speech.
On the lighter side of the full-day ceremony, a photo
essay chronicling President Duterte’s day, along with a collection of photos of
various fashion pieces worn by guests during the SONA will also be shared on
