MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte, who is known for deviating from prepared speeches, will finish his State of the Nation Address (SONA) in 35 minutes, officials said Tuesday.

Duterte promised to read from prepared remarks during his third state of the nation address on July 23, said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
