Aquino's speech at Ignatian Festival no hints about SONA

With just two days to go before he delivers it, President Benigno Aquino didn't give a clue on what his State of the Nation Address on July 22 will be about, even during his speech at an activity at the Ateneo de Manila University – his alma mater.

Aquino delivered a message at the ADMU's Ignatian Festival 2013 but did not even give hints of the SONA, according to a report on "24 Oras."



Instead, Aquino urged Ateneans to dedicate themselves to others, just like patron saint Ignatius of Loyola did.

He also declined to grant an ambush interview to media representatives who attended the event.

On Monday, Aquino is to deliver his fourth SONA before a joint session of Congress.

A separate report on dzBB radio said Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras merely hinted the SONA would be "kapana-panabik" (interesting).

But even Almendras would not give further details about the SONA. — LBG, GMA News
