Nagsimula na ngayong araw, Abril 13 ang Ramadan o ang isang buwang pag-aayuno ng mga Muslim.
Sa mensahe ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, sinabi nito na nakikiisa ang sambayan sa paggunita ng Ramadan.
“The entire nation joins our Muslim sisters and brothers as we commemorate the revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Mohammad. One of the Five Pillas of Islam, this period of fasting reminds us of the value of sacrifice, obedience and charity in our daily lives,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
Nanawagan din ang Pangulo ng pagkakaisa.
Dapat din aniya magtunglungan lalo’t nahaharap ang bansa sa matinding pagsubok sa buhay.
“As we mark this holy occasion, I ask everyone to promote Solidarity among all Filipinos by manifesting faith through action and by fostering peace, hope and unity as we face the most challenging of times. Let us all come together and channel the spirit of Ramadan by helping those who are less fortunate and most in need,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
Umaasa ang Pangulo na makaahon din ang bansa.
“It is my hope that we can all move forward with courage, hope and optimism as the blessings of Ramadan bring peace and prosperity to the entire nation,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
