President Rodrigo Duterte:

“I wish all the Filipino Christians all around the world a blessed and meaningful Christmas. May the light that this season brings fill us with hope and courage as we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“We have been blessed much with the birth of Christ, let us share this blessing with others. Maligayang Pasko sa ating lahat (Merry Christmas to all of us).”

Duterte

“May we all be united in spreading love, compassion, and happiness to our families and friends, and even those whom we need to reach out to. This will lead us to open our hearts and our homes, especially for those who are most in need so that they, too, may have joy and hope while we all work together towards better days ahead.”

Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo:

“The continuing uncertainties of the current pandemic coupled with the recent devastation brought about by Typhoon Odette have had a disruptive impact on our lives.”

Gesmundo

“These challenges and trials, however, only put into focus our resilience, benevolence, and solidarity as a people and as a nation.”

“May those of us who are fortunate enough to be with our loved ones spare more than a thought for those who are alone, lost, and abandoned.”

Speaker Lord Allan Velasco:

“As we celebrate the merriest season of the year, let us not forget to offer prayers and assistance to the victims of Super Typhoon Odette.”

Velasco

“It is quite unfortunate and heartbreaking that Odette—one of the strongest storms to hit the Philippines in recent years—barreled through the archipelago and left massive devastation just a week before Christmas. Let us help the typhoon victims in whatever way we can as they try to recover and rebuild their lives.”

“On behalf of your House of the People, we wish everyone a safe, joyous and blessed holiday season.”

House Majority Leader Ferdinand Martin Romualdez:

“May we all find it in our hearts to lend a helping hand to those in need this Christmas time. Feed a hungry kid. Give whatever you have in store to the needy. Help build a home for the homeless. Or just give a hug to those in pain.”

“This year’s celebration may not be as joyous as in the past years given the series of tragedies that struck the nation. We lost family members and loved ones to COVID-19. Precious lives were also stolen from us by the recent typhoon that ravaged the Visayas and Mindanao. The typhoon also left thousands of our countrymen starving and homeless.”

Romualdez

“Rather than be distraught and hopeless, this dire situation gives us an opportunity to make the celebration of Christmas a more meaningful one. Let us give flesh to the real meaning of our savior’s birth. Love of mankind, and compassion for our fellowmen.”

“With my wife Yedda and my family, I offer to all our best wishes as we celebrate the Filipino tradition of marking the birth of our savior Jesus Christ with festivities and in the loving company of friends and relatives. Wishing you all a meaningful Christmas, my friends. And may peace and joy finally reign on our land.”
