MANILA, Philippines — He was over an hour late, and his speech ran much longer than he promised. The Presidential Security Group (PSG) said Duterte was still at the Bahay ng Pagbabago at Malacañang at 4:20 p.m. After delivering his SONA, Duterte joined the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra in singing his favorite songs “Ikaw” and “Moon River.”Duterte quipped that singing gives him a “sense of peace,” as he was a “prisoner” at Malacañang. “I can’t even buy my Jockey (underwear),” he said, since being President means maintaining restricted movement due to security concerns. “(Singing) brings beauty to the soul… It brings you closer to God,” he said, inviting the group to a night of fellowship in Malacañang.
