Former Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Monday, July 25 described as “brilliant idea” the plan of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. to duplicate specialty hospitals in other parts of the country.
These are the Philippine Heart Center, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, and Lung Center of the Philippines.
For Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, the 73-minute State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Marcos was a well-crafted speech with a detailed legislative agenda.
Escudero, however, noted that it was conspicuously silent on peace and order.
"I laud his initiatives on land reform, energy, specialty hospitals, no more lockdowns, rightsizing and department of water," he said.
