26日是菲律宾总统杜特尔特发表任内第五份国情咨文(SONA)前一日，当天菲律宾累计确诊新冠肺炎病例过8万，其中总统府新闻部(PCOO)及其直属机构职员确诊数增到25例。 为此，PCOO已专门准备一个未接触过确诊职员的工作组，配合杜特尔特总统发表SONA的新闻发布工作。 PCOO部长马丁·安达纳尔26日接受DZBB电台采访表示，已为杜特尔特总统发表SONA方式预备两套方案。 按A计划，杜特尔特27日下午将在位于奎松市的菲律宾国会(Batasang Pambansa)大楼发表SONA。 因为疫情原因，现场只为部分政府内阁成员和立法者安排50个席位，另专设视频会议室供其他内阁成员、地方政府官员等观看。 所有参会人员当天通过快速检测才能进入国会大楼。 一旦参会者有一人检测呈阳性，即启动B计划，即杜特尔特总统在总统府马拉卡南宫发表SONA，现场则安排更少的听会席位。 按照惯例，SONA将实时向菲全国直播。 截至发稿时，菲总统府尚未确认杜特尔特的家人是否会出席SONA。 安达纳尔说，杜特尔特总统的SONA，将重点说明政府将如何带领菲律宾应对新冠肺炎疫情、恢复社会经济生活；还会提到他上任时的承诺，即反政府腐败、打击非法毒品和减贫。 杜特尔特还将说明本届政府的其他计划，包括创造更多的就业机会、振兴经济、促进教育，以及帮助在疫情中受难的海外菲律宾劳工等。
The 26th was the day before Philippine President Duterte delivered his fifth State of the Union Address (SONA) during his term of office, and on that day, Philippines had over 80,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, among which the number of confirmed cases in the staff of the Presidential Communications Operations Office of Philippines (PCOO) and its affiliated institutions was increased to 25. Therefore, PCOO has specially prepared a working group that has not contacted the staff confirmed as cases of COVID-19 to cooperate with President Duterte's press release of SONA. Martin Andanar, minister of PCOO, said in an interview with DZBB on the 26th that he had prepared two plans for the President Duterte’s announcement of the SONA. According to Plan A, Duterte will deliver the SONA at the Batasang Pambansa building in Quezon on the afternoon of the 27th. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, only 50 seats were arranged for some cabinet members and legislators, and a video conference room was established for other cabinet members and local government officials to watch. All participants cannot enter the parliament building until they pass the quick testing on the same day. Once one of the participants tested positive, Plan B will be launched, that is, the President Duterte will deliver the SONA at Maracanan Palace, the Presidential Palace, and fewer seats will be arranged at the scene. Traditionally, the SONA will be broadcast live to the Philippines in real time. As of press time, the Philippine Presidential Palace has not confirmed whether Duterte's family will attend the SONA. Andanar said that the President Duterte's SONA would focus on how the government would lead the Philippines to deal with the COVID-19 epidemic and resume social and economic life; and the SONA would also mention the promises Duterte made when he took office, namely, fighting against government corruption, cracking down on illegal drugs and reducing poverty. Duterte will also explain other plans of the current government, including creating more employment opportunities, revitalizing the economy, promoting education, and helping overseas Filipino workers who suffered from the COVID-19 epidemic.
