I join the entire Filipino nation with hope and optimism in welcoming the New Year.
As we reflect on the events that transpired in the previous year, I hope that we will draw strength and inspiration from what truly binds us together—our genuine love for our fellow Filipinos and our country. This is the essence of our call for unity and the impetus for our continued invitation to work together for the realization of our shared aspirations as a people.
It is in this understanding that we need, now more than ever, to embody the true meaning of solidarity. The innate Bayanihan spirit in all of us is what will keep us going amidst all adversities that will continue to test our fortitude as a nation.
‘Let’s …Together, let us move full-steam ahead toward our goal of giving a better life to every Filipino family. I am confident that, by coming together, we can withstand and overcome all challenges and bring our nation to greater heights.
As we look forward to a fruitful and hopeful New Year, let us remain steadfast and united as ever as we ask for the Almighty’s continued guidance in our journey toward a better, brighter, and more prosperous future of our nation.
Muli, isang manigong at mapayapang Bagong Taon sa lahat!
