MANILA, Philippines — For TV host Bianca Gonzalez Intal, although President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) was "good," she believes that his family needs to be accountable for the "stolen wealth" and martial law human rights abuses.

"I may have voted for Leni Robredo and I still believe the Marcos family needs to be accountable for the stolen wealth and the ML human rights abuses, but BBM is our duly elected President and I felt his SONA was good. Kung successful ang admin, success din ng Bayan," Bianca tweeted right after the one-hour, 13-minute address.

She also hoped that Marcos would deliver his SONA promises. 

Actress G Tongi, meanwhile, urged Filipinos to think critically about issues that need to be addressed. G reminded Filipinos that the SONA is not a fashion show. She added that they should look out for pressing issues that the newly elected president should address. 

She tweeted an hour before Marcos delivered his SONA. 

"Please PH! It’s called delicadeza. Today is not about a fashion show ok? Today is about thinking critically about issues that have never been addressed that are owed to the Filipino people. A president of any nation has to serve the people and not their self interest. #sona2022," Tongi wrote.
