Pimentel said Marcos' SONA last Monday (July 22) was followed a few days later by severe flooding caused by monsoon rains triggered by Typhoon Carina.

The floods that followed the SONA put a damper on Marcos's announcement in his speech that 5,500 flood control projects have been completed.

“The SONA of President Nung Lunes is coming to an end,” Pimentel said in a DWIZ interview on Saturday (July 27), referring to Marcos' announcement in his SONA to ban Philippine offshore gambling activities.
