“I am sure the President will be reporting what he has done the past two years, specifically on the war on drugs, crime and corruption,” Go said.

“He will also [be] talking about the programs he has implemented, especially those that require a leader with the political will, since these are for the greatest good of the majority,” he added.

Earlier, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque quoted the President, who is known for his long impromptu speeches, as saying he would read a prepared speech, which would not exceed 35 minutes. /atm
