QUEZON CITY, Philippines – Government agencies are going all-out to secure roads and manage mobility ahead of President Bongbong Marcos’ 4th State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, July 28, 2025.

On July 28, the Quezon City Traffic and Transport Management Department (TTMD) held an early pre-deployment briefing, led by TTMD Chief Dexter C. Cardenas. The focus is to ensure a safe, disciplined, and orderly traffic flow around the Batasan Complex and nearby roads.

Over 100 TTMD enforcers have been assigned to key areas to assist motorists, enforce traffic rules, and coordinate with other agencies to help secure the SONA venue.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is deploying a massive force of 1,329 personnel drawn from various units. Their tasks include managing both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, responding to emergencies, assisting with crowd control, and ensuring roads remain clear during the event.

Supporting the manpower are critical response assets already staged along major routes and strategic points. These include ambulances, fire trucks, tow trucks, mobile patrol vehicles, motorcycle units, and flood response equipment.

Rain or shine, TTMD and MMDA teams are on full alert, ready to serve and protect all QCitizens, motorists, and attendees of SONA 2025.
