UPDATE: There will be no red carpet fanfare, fashion coverage and ceremonial staging in the upcoming SONA on Monday, after Speaker Martin Romualdez directs House officials to tone down the staging of the annual event in light of the weather disturbances that hit parts of the country in the past week.
