Palace press officer Claire Castro did not provide further details about the key topics to be discussed, but Marcos said last week that the public should wait for the next chapter of the government’s fight against corruption.

The Palace official also teased “earthshaking announcements” during Marcos’ Sona, similar to his “Mahiya naman kayo!” remark last year.

Malacañang has also yet to release details about the attire that Marcos and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos will wear for the event.
