EPFD Executive Director Renato Dela Torre said they are near completion of the overall physical preparations. "As of now, I can say na siguro nasa 95 percent prepared na tayo except dun sa mga minor changes alam mo na pag sa mismong malapit na yung SONA. But for the engineering facilities natin, iyong grounds natin, 'yong road network, kita niyo naman prepared na sya," ED Dela Torre said.
The sound system, electrical installation, and internet infrastructure are all nearing completion as well. He noted that only the remaining joint command center setups and requirements from the Radio Television Malacaang (RTVM) and Presidential Security Group (PSG) would be tested over the weekend.
