Sara declines SONA invite but House has reserved seat for her
Manila Bulletin
|June 20, 2025
The House of Representatives has received information that Vice President Sara Duterte won’t be attending President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s fourth State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) on July 28.
Secretary General Reginald Velasco said that the House would reserve a seat for the Vice President at the VIP gallery should she change her mind.
“We have received a letter from the office that she is not attending. But we are not excluding the possibility that she will attend, no? So, there will be a seat for her reserved at the center of the gallery, no? The VIP (Very Important Person) gallery,” Velasco said, in what could be a repeat of the scenario last year involving the lady official.
