In his Eid’l Fitr message on May 13 2021, President Rodrigo Duterte called for “peace” and “unity” among Filipinos.
Duterte expressed hope that this day will bring “prosperity, healing and strength” to build and lead the nation toward a brighter future.
“As you mark the end of a month-long journey of reflection, prayer and fasting, may Allah continue to instill in you the virtues of generosity and compassion for others,” the chief executive said.
“This joyous occasion celebrating personal sacrifice and unity is made more relevant as the country makes a significant step closer to beating the Covid-19 pandemic,” he also said.
“May this event also inspire us to continue promoting peace, unity and goodwill among our fellow Filipinos. Let us welcome a new hope that this Eid brings – for peace, prosperity, healing and strength as we build a progressive and brighter future for our people,” he added.
Last Monday, Duterte declared May 13 as a regular holiday for the observance of Eid’l Fitr or the culmination of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
He signed Proclamation No. 1142 after the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos recommended to declare the date a national holiday.
“In order to bring the religious and cultural significance of Eid’l Fitr to the fore of national consciousness, it is necessary to declare Thursday, 13 May 2021, a regular holiday throughout the country,” the proclamation read.
