Ah, the State of the Nation Address. It’s that important time of the year, where we, citizens, are on the lookout for important updates from our President about just how deep into sh*t we are as a nation (though let’s face it, we are mostly given flowery lies.) Everyone seems to be on their best appearance… not just through their statements and actions, but in the most literal sense of it too. Let’s be real: The SONA has also become a red carpet event of sorts. As we officially welcome the 18th Congress of the Philippines, let’s look at these fashion moments, shall we?
