SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez has 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 in a statement.
At the same time, the House leader vowed that the House of Representatives 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,” 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.
For Romualdez, the d 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,” Romualdez added.
