ISULAN, Sultan Kudarat (PIA)—The Philippine Information Agency and Sultan Kudarat’s provincial government are set to host a post-State of the Nation Address (post-SONA) forum on Thursday, September 26 at 1:00 p.m.

Over 2,000 participants, including local government officials, community leaders, and residents, are expected to join the forum following the “LAB For ALL” service caravan in the morning.
