The President extended his greeting on a solemn and blessed occasion and expressed hope that Muslim brothers and sisters will be inspired to be living examples of the Islamic faith and help break down the barriers that divide the nation.
May 25, Monday, has been declared by the President as a regular holiday across the country in celebration of Eid'l Fitr.
As you celebrate the Breaking of the Fast, may the clarity of thought and wisdom that you have attained from this undertaking inspire you to be the living examples of what is best in the Islamic faith. It is likewise my hope that your time in prayer has nourished your inner strength and fortitude to stay true to the inherent goodness of humanity as we shun the evils that permeate our society, the President said.
As you further carry out your role as stewards of peace, love and understanding, I trust that you will remain committed in breaking down barriers that divide and further estrange us from one another, he said.
Duterte also wished peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah to the Muslim community as they conclude the holy month of Ramadan.
