In this double slice of P*I* special, we react to President Marcos Jr.'s first state of the nation address as both a performance and a summary of his priority policies. We discuss many interesting policy directions he has set but also the key issues he did not discuss. Lastly, we discuss the Ateneo shooting which caused the death of the former mayor of Basilan by an armed assassin.
