PRESIDENT Marcos Jr. yesterday expressed the hope that Filipinos would remain united amid the diversity in beliefs and philosophies and that this “oneness would conquer division and discord.”
Marcos, in his Eid’l Fitr message, also called on the Muslim community to forge a harmonious society filled with love, prosperity and compassion.
“I pray for the sustained provision of wisdom and fortitude from Allah as we continue to work for harmony, prosperity, and compassion in our homes and communities,” he said.
“It is also my sincere hope that, despite our diversity in beliefs and philosophies, we will remain united by our shared aspiration for a more progressive and resilient nation moving forward. Let us strive to forge a society where love prevails over indifference, where faith outshines doubt and fear, and where oneness conquers division and discord,” he added.
The President joined the Muslim community in celebrating the Breaking of Fast yesterday which he said is not just the culmination of Ramadan but also the rededication of one’s journey towards a more disciplined, dignified, and gracious life.
Marcos also hoped the members of the Muslim community would become the “shining examples of humility, peace, and strength among our people as they overcome challenges and nurture their trust in the Almighty.”
Eid’l Fitr is one of the two Muslim holidays on the list of regular holidays in the Philippines.
