The 1990 Message to the Congress was the fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by Corazon Aquino, the 11th president of the Philippines, on July 23, 1990, at the Batasang Pambansa Complex.
The joint session was presided over by Senate President Jovito Salonga and House Speaker Ramon Mitra Jr.
Aquino's address highlighted the country's recovery from the 1990 Luzon earthquake and the progress achieved during the first four years of her administration. She highlighted economic growth, increased foreign investment, infrastructure development, agrarian and rural development programs, and efforts to strengthen democratic institutions following the unsuccessful December 1989 coup attempt. Aquino also emphasized environmental protection, local autonomy, tax reform, youth participation in nation-building, and the establishment of autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras. The address concluded with a call for national unity, as with her previous SONAs, and legislative support for measures focusing on economic development, environmental conservation, and democratic governance.
