President Benigno S. Aquino III greeted the
Muslim Filipino community as they celebrate the start of the Fasting Month of
Ramadan on Thursday (June 18).
“It (Ramadan) is a time for you to embody the teachings of the Holy Quran as you practice greater discipline, compassion, and restraint,” the President said in his message released by the Office of the President.
“May this sacred occasion bring you closer to the Almighty, becoming his instruments of peace and unity as the Filipino nation gathers on our shared journey to create a more prosperous and equitable nation,” he said.
“Our entire country is with you in spirit as you observe this time of deep reflection. May we continue to exhibit excellence, integrity and accountability in our deeds, and achieve greater milestones in nation-building,” he added.
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, when Muslims abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset.
