Bongbong’s SONA means ‘SANA’
Marcos roared: “Mahiya naman kayo!” not “Mahiya naman sila.” The first statement appears to be directed at the lawmakers, who have been accused of pocketing up to 40% from public works, and he should have added the second to tag the unscrupulous contractors. He did not.
