Media excluded from Batasang Pambansa for SONA 2020

Media personnel will be barred from entering the Batasang Pambansa complex during President Rodrigo Duterte's fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 27, 2020.

Only the Presidential Broadcast Staff-Radio Television Malacañang (PBS-RTVM) will be permitted inside the chamber to cover the event.

This decision aligns with the recommendations of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).

Other media organizations are instructed to access the SONA through the live feed provided by the People's Television Network (PTV) or streams from the Presidential Communications Operations Office and RTVM social media pages and YouTube channel.
