Cebu officials and business groups have expressed strong support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s national priorities following his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), according to local media reports. The backing comes as the administration continues to push for economic reforms and infrastructure development across the country.

Local leaders emphasized the importance of aligning regional goals with national strategies, particularly in areas such as economic growth and public service improvement. Business representatives also highlighted the need for continued government support to boost local industries and attract foreign investment.

The positive reception reflects growing confidence in the administration’s ability to address key challenges facing the Philippines. However, analysts note that sustained support will depend on the government’s ability to deliver on its promises and maintain transparency in its policies.

Support for Marcos Jr.’s agenda remains strong in Cebu, where economic stability and development are seen as critical to the region’s future. (sunstar.com.ph)
