Malacañang will determine what visual aids President Aquino will use for his SONA probably a week before the annual speech

MANILA, Philippines – President Aquino prefers visuals instead of theatrics when he delivers his 3rd State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 23.

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a radio interview on Sunday, July 1, that Aquino will likely use visual aids to complement his speech, and nothing flamboyant unlike those employed by his predecessors in their SONAs.

Aquino’s speech, which is yet to be finalized, will determine what the visuals will be.

Valte said that the speechwriters are still on the first draft of the speech, and are still receiving inputs from government agencies and private groups for the SONA.

“Normally the need for visuals comes after we determine the flow of the speech. At this stage, the speechwriters are just on the first draft. Probably we’ll know a week before SONA what visual aids will be used,” Valte said. – Rappler.com
