President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. urged the Muslim communities to become a shining example of humility, peace, and strength in facing adversities as he extended warm greetings in celebration of Eid’l Fitr on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.
In his message, the President emphasized the significance of the occasion, expressing gratitude for the spiritual renewal experienced after a month of prayer, sacrifice, and penance during Ramadan.
“Truly, the Festival of Breaking the Fast marks not only the culmination of Ramadan, but also the rededication of one’s journey towards a more disciplined, dignified, and gracious life,” Mr. Marcos said.
The President also offered prayers for the continuous provision of wisdom and fortitude from Allah as efforts persist in promoting harmony, prosperity, and compassion within homes and communities.
“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,” he said.
“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. May the deepest desires of our hearts be granted. Eid Mubarak,” he added.
