VP Sara reminds Muslims to be humble, forgiving, deepen faith on Eid”l Fitr

As Muslim Filipinos mark the end of the month-long fasting or Ramadan, Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday reminded them to be humble, forgiving, and to deepen their faith.

In her Eid’l Fitr message, Duterte said the Muslim community’s dedication and faith give inspiration to everyone.

“Ang pagtatapos ng Ramadan ay paalala sa atin na maging mapagpakumbaba, mapagpatawad, at palalimin pa ang ating pananampalataya. Nawa’y patuloy nating isabuhay ang mga aral ng Qur’an at ng Propetang Muhammad, at itaguyod ang kabutihan sa ating kapwa,” she said in a video message.

(The end of Ramadan reminds us to be humble, forgiving, and deepen our faith. May we continue to put into practice the lessons of the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad, and promote goodness to others.)

Despite the differences, the Vice President also emphasized the importance of unity, respect, and love for the country.
