Sara hopes for successful nation-building efforts next year
Vice President Sara Duterte is hoping that the people and government's efforts to build the nation will eventually result in the success of the country.
In her New Year message, Duterte said the upcoming new year will mark "a new and promising season of growth" for every Filipino.
She called on the people to continue embodying the country's collective resolve and fortitude to begin anew amid the difficulties the past year brought to the social, economic and civic pursuits of the Philippines.
"I am hopeful that our tireless nation-building efforts will redound to the success of our undertakings in governance, the business arena, the agricultural sector, and in other viable industries so that we can conduct our development efforts with utmost regard to the greater good of the entire nation," she said.
"In this opportune time, let us march on with our heads envisioning a dynamic year ahead filled with purpose and steadfastness to build a better life not just for ourselves but also for our respective communities," she added.
