President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. marked the New Year 2025 by calling on Filipinos to look out for each other to ensure prosperity for all.
In his message, the President said that the recovery amid the incredible challenges such as calamities that disrupted lives and communities in recent months should inspire the people to remain hopeful for good tidings ahead.
“Reflecting on the resilience we have shown in overcoming them, it is crucial for our progress to esteem such moments as hallmarks of the extraordinary strength we gain through solidarity and perseverance,” Marcos siad.
“Let us draw inspiration from the innumerable acts of courage, compassion, and bayanihan that we have witnessed in the face of adversity. Only then can we fortify the bonds that connect us, truly rebuild what has been lost, and realize a Bagong Pilipinas where dreams flourish and every Filipino thrives,” he added.
In a separate statement, the President’s cousin and Speaker Martin Romualdez echoed the President’s call.
“Sa ating pagsalubong sa Bagong Taon, nais kong ipaabot ang aking taos-pusong pagbati ng isang mapayapa, masagana at puno ng pag-asa na 2025 para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino,” Romualdez said.
(As we usher in New Year, I send my heartfelt greetings of a peaceful, prosperous and hopeful 2025 for each Filipino family.)
“The New Year is a new start and a new opportunity to work together in nation building. We have faced many challenges, but we were able to overcome it by helping each other,” Romualdez added.
In addition, Romualdez reiterated the House’s commitment to addressing the nation’s pressing needs through proactive legislation, saying it will remain focused on enacting measures that promote economic growth, improve public services, and enhance disaster resilience.
“I assure our fellow Filipinos that we [in Congress] remain strong in our commitment to prioritize legislation that will uplift the lives of our people…laws that will spur economic growth, improve public services and strengthen disaster resilience,” he said.
“Let us stand together in pushing for Bagong Pilipinas where every Filipino has opportunity, security and hope,” Romualdez added. —Llanesca T. Panti/KG, GMA Integrated News
