Malacañang reminded members of the Islamic faith to follow guidelines on social distancing in celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.
Earlier, President Rodrigo Duterte declared May 25 a regular holiday in observance of the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
“We ask everyone to continue to observe the guidelines of their respective community quarantines and observe social distancing during their celebration,” Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said Sunday.
Andanar expressed hope that the Muslim faithful will find the courage and strength to endure the ongoing pandemic of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
“Although it was a challenge to abstain from sharing meals and praying together throughout the blessed month of Ramadan, may you all continue to praise Allah for bestowing upon you the strength and courage not only in obeying His commandments, but also in facing the effects of the pandemic,” the PCOO chief said.
“May this renewed spiritual attainment strengthen your resilience and commitment to the exemplary Islamic virtues, especially at this time when we continue to face the challenges and uncertainty brought by the Covid-19 pandemic,” he added.
