My reaction on Dutertes SONA 2016:

Prior to July 25, Presidential Communication Secretary Martin

Andanar described Dutertes SONA as a 38-minute tear-jerker.
He said he was near tears while reading it. He must have been
referring to a portion of the prepared script describing drug or
disastrous death scenes. But the President did not cooperate with
his speech writers.
We've always wanted change. It is something viable, but why is
it always so hard to achieve? Until Rodrigo Duterte made us
realize that change is coming. Many anticipated his first State of
the Nation Address (SONA). And after watching his speech, I
can see the change slowly coming.
Duterte is known as a great combatant against illegal drugs. In
his speech, he vowed to double, even triple the efforts until the
last drug lord, the last financer, and the last drug pusher have
surrendered or put behind bars. Or even below the ground.
Those who surrender will be put under the government's drug
rehabilitation program.
For public service, he wants to build access roads to service
centers, improve roads and bridges, and put up new pumping
stations in strategic places. Duterte promises that train tickets
will soon be readily and easily accessible.

And this change surely has already started. I noticed that

unlike the previous SONAs, a more controlled and
peaceful protests by militant groups happened outside the
Batasang Pambansa.
