Various athletes from the country joined the Filipino nation in witnessing President Rodrigo Duterte delivering his first State of the Nation Address (SONA).
The President highlighted the country's pressing issues such as war on drugs, lowering income tax, decongesting airports, shifting to a federal and parliamentary form of government, among others in his 1-hour, 32-minute long speech.
But despite that no mention has been made about Philippine sports, athletes were left in awe with the President's speech as some of them posted their support during and after the SONA.
To name a few, PBA players Emman Monfort, Garvo Lanete, and Dondon Hontiveros took to social media to show their support for the President:
