Hangad ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang bagong pag-asa na dala ng taong 2022.
Sa New Year’s message ng Pangulo, sinabi nito na dapat na magsilbing aral sa mga Filipino ang naranasang pandemya at pananalasa ng Bagyong Odette ngayong taon.
“Indeed, we have been through many challenging times but our distinct resilience and bayanihan spirit allowed us to prevail and come out stronger,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
Sinabi pa ng Pangulo na araw-araw na nasasaksihan ng taong bayan ang diwa ng mga Filipino na kinakaya ang lahat kahit na ano pang pagsubok ang dumating sa buhay.
“Every day, we continue to witness the indomitable spirit of the Filipino that adapts, endures and triumphs over all adversities. The dedication and courage of our people—especially of our medical and essential frontliners, uniformed services, civilian personnel and volunteers— demonstrate what great things we can achieve if we work in solidarity,” dagdag ng Pangulo.
Hangad ng Pangulo na magsilbing inspirasyon ng bawat isa ang mga pagsubog para magsimula ng bagong yugto sa buhay.
“As we take a whole-of-nation approach to recover and build back better, may we all be inspired by the promise of new beginnings that the New Year brings. Now, we are given a fresh start and opportunity to aim higher and to do things better—in the spirit of genuine malasakit at pagbabago,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
“Let all our aspirations and actions be guided by our strong sense of nationhood and our deep faith in the Almighty. May we also find a stronger and higher purpose in our lives so that we may pursue only what is good for our families, communities and the entire nation. Isang pinagpala at masaganang Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat!” dagdag ng Pangulo.
