House Speaker Martin Romualdez greeted Filipinos on Easter Sunday, encouraging them to help one another, especially those facing economic woes and other social issues. He echoed messages of unity to achieve a better society.
“Easter calls upon us to extend a helping hand to those in need and demonstrate empathy and kindness towards one another. Together, we can build a society that leaves no one behind and ensures the well-being of all,” Romualdez said in a statement.
The Leyte representative also reminded all his fellow public servants of their duty to serve in the best interests of the people. He noted that upholding justice, equality and progress is a shared responsibility.
“Despite our diverse backgrounds, beliefs, or political affiliations, we are all interconnected as citizens of this great nation. By standing together, we can overcome any challenge, heal the wounds of division, and forge a path towards a more prosperous and harmonious Philippines,” Romualdez stated.
“Easter serves as a reminder of the power of hope, renewal, and faith. It is a time when we come together as a nation, setting aside our differences and embracing the spirit of unity and compassion,” he added.
Amid persistent challenges, Romualdez said it is best to draw inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ, whose resurrection “brings us a message of resilience and the promise of a brighter future.”
“Just as Jesus Christ triumphed over darkness and emerged victorious, let us draw inspiration from His example and rise above the trials that confront us,” he said.
“May we draw strength from the spirit of sacrifice and selflessness exemplified by Jesus Christ. Let us be inspired to become agents of positive change, spreading love, compassion, and understanding in our communities,” the House Speaker added.
