Statement of Rep. Adrian Salceda on the upcoming SONA of President Marcos

July 22nd, 2025

Malaki po ang tiwala natin sa Pangulo na hindi niya kaliligtaan ang mga manggagawa at magsasaka sa kanyang SONA. As you know, I have been pushing for the Fair Wage Act, or the gradual elimination of the regional wage in favor of a national living wage. Sigurado po akong pagtutuunan din ni Pangulong Marcos ng pansin ang food security. Climate change and volatile trade conditions make it very difficult to be a net importer of food. Kaya importante po na matutukan natin ang food security, lalo sa mga bahaging kaya pa natin maging self-sufficient o competitive, gaya ng mais at isda.

Sana ay utusan na din ni Pangulong Marcos ang mga ahensya na madaliin na ang kanilang mga proposal para sa paggamit ng Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund lalo’t napakababa pa rin po ng disbursement nito. Nasa 1/4 lang kada taon.

I am hopeful about the President’s upcoming SONA, especially as a freshman legislator from a coastal and rural district.
