Senator Imee Marcos said that several members of the Senate minority bloc have decided not to attend President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA).

According to her, the decision was driven by their disappointment and dissatisfaction, which she described by saying that they were carrying 'masama ang loob.

' The article identifies the planned absence as a political statement rather than a scheduling issue, reflecting the growing tensions between some opposition or minority senators and the current administration.

Although the report provides only limited details about the reasons behind their decision, it suggests that the boycott is intended to express their position on recent political developments and their concerns regarding the administration.

The report also mentions Senate-related topics and references Senator Alan Peter Cayetano among the related subjects, but it does not elaborate on his specific involvement in the planned non-attendance.

Based on the available information, the story primarily focuses on the announcement made by Senator Imee Marcos and the symbolic significance of skipping one of the country's most important annual political events.

The SONA traditionally serves as the President's platform to report on the government's accomplishments and legislative agenda before Congress and the Filipino people.The absence of several minority senators is therefore expected to draw public attention as an indication of political divisions within the Senate.However, the article does not provide additional statements from the other senators involved or from Malacañang regarding the planned boycott.
