SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Monday joined millions of Muslim Filipinos and the Muslim community in celebrating Ed’l Fitr, or the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
“As we mark the joyous occasion of Eid’l Fitr, I extend my warmest greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters across the country. This is a time of thanksgiving, reflection and renewal of faith, as we celebrate the successful completion of the Holy Month of Ramadan,” he said.
At the same time, the leader of the 306-member House of Representatives vowed that he and his colleagues would continue to support measure that would help Muslim Filipinos.
Speaker Romualdez also recognized the contributions of Muslim Filipinos to the country’s development.
“In the House of Representatives, we reaffirm our commitment to policies that promote equality, respect and opportunity for all. We will continue to support initiatives that uplift Muslim Filipinos and ensure that your rights and aspirations are safeguarded,” Speaker Romualdez said.
“Our Muslim communities play a vital role in shaping our nation’s future. Your commitment to peace, progress and nation-building is deeply valued. As we continue working towards an inclusive and harmonious society, let us recognize the contributions of our Muslim brothers and sisters in fostering economic growth, cultural richness and national unity,” he said.
He said Eid’l Fitr “is a reminder of unity, compassion and generosity – values that bind us together as a nation. It is through these principles that we foster understanding and strengthen the ties between all Filipinos, regardless of faith and background.”
“May the devotion and sacrifices made throughout this sacred period bring forth abundant blessings, strengthened faith and renewed hope for all. The month-long fasting is not only a test of discipline and endurance but also a reaffirmation of one’s spiritual commitment,” Speaker Romualdez added.
The House leader expressed the hope that the conclusion of Ramadan “usher in peace, prosperity and divine grace.”
“May this Eid be filled with joy, love and togetherness. Let us celebrate this occasion with open hearts, remembering that our diversity is our strength, and that true progress is achieved when we stand together as one people,” he said.
