About 3,000 invitations have been sent for the SONA that will be attended by top politicians, diplomats, and former presidents, except former president Benigno Aquino III.
He is expected to mention his legislative agenda which could include the need to amend the Constitution to give way to federalism and to reinstate the death penalty for heinous crimes. All guests for the SONA are then expected to start arriving in the early afternoon because they are required to be inside the plenary hall by 3 pm.
