President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has urged Filipino Christians to celebrate Easter with the world, and to use this time for self-reflection and renewal.
In his Easter Sunday message, Marcos said: “Jesus Christ’s resurrection not only affirms our deepest faith but also signifies a new birth for all the faithful to walk in the new way of life and be granted eternal salvation.”
“May this day be an opportunity for us to pause and give thanks for the opportunity for renewal and recovery as we push through our quest for genuine unity and progress for all,” Marcos added.
The President also said that “easter teaches us that, as long as we live our life in Christ, love and hope will remain ever so boundless and will be the cornerstones for the positive transformation of our society.”
“As we celebrate the magnificent glory of our risen Savior, let us all take into heart this Christian foundation as we work for and welcome better days for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors as well,” he concluded.
Easter Sunday commemorates the resurrection of Jesus, which is the cornerstone of the Christian faith and one of the most important Christian holidays.
