2024 State of the Nation Address (Philippines)

The 2024 State of the Nation Address will be the third State of the Nation Address that will be delivered by President Bongbong Marcos on July 22, 2024.

Preparations
An estimate of ₱20 million was given for the expenses related to the SONA which includes equipment, logistics, meetings and food. The Philippine National Police will deploy 22,000 personnel around Metro Manila to secure the speech.

Seating and guests
House Secretary General Reginald Velasco has pegged that 2,000 guests will attend the speech. If realized, the SONA will be the largest by attendance. There are 1,814 seats in the plenary.

A noted absence would be Vice President Sara Duterte who self-appointed herself as the "designated survivor", although she did not elaborate further on what she meant with the term which is only relevant to a contingency plan in the United States presidential line of succession. Furthermore, Duterte's predecessors – Leni Robredo, Jejomar Binay, and Noli de Castro – will also not attend the SONA.

Address
The speech will be covered by state-outlet Radio Television Malacañang.
