Robredo's Eid'l Fitr message: 'Care, compassion to improve lives of all Filipinos'

Published May 2, 2022 04:25 pm

Regardless of faith and religion, presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo said on Monday, May 2, that the Eid’l Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, sends the message that each person has a duty to be responsible for his neighbor.

The Eid’l Fitr observance in the country will last from Monday night until Tuesday, May 3. President Duterte earlier declared it a regular holiday after the declaration by Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta’ or the Islamic religious authority in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) that Eid’l Fitr or the Feast of Breaking the Fast will be on May 2.

“Nawa’y palaging magsilbing inspirasyon sa atin ang diwa ng araw na ito: Pagkalinga, pagmamalasakit, at ang walang-kapagurang pagsisikap upang iangat ang buhay ng lahat (May the spirit of this day always serve as an inspiration for us: care, compassion, and tireless perseverance to improve the lives of all). Eid Mubarak!,” Robredo’s message read.

Aside from celebrating the end of the month of Ramadan, the Vice President also said that it is a “colorful reminder” of unity as a community.

“Anuman ang ating pananampalataya, malinaw at tagos sa puso ang mensahe ng araw na ito (Whatever our beliefs, the message of this day is clear and pierces the heart),” Robredo wrote.

“Na kaakibat ng taimtim na panalangin at pagninilay ang pagkilala sa banal na tungkulin natin bilang mga tagapangalaga ng isa’t isa— bagay na paulit-ulit isinasabuhay ng bawat Pilipino, sa araw-araw man o sa gitna ng mga hamon ng pandemya at sakuna (That together with solemn prayer and meditation is the recognition of our holy duty as caregivers of each other—a thing that each Filipino continues to live by every day or in the middle of the challenges of pandemic and catastrophe),” she added.

Eid'l Fitr, one of the two most important Islamic celebrations, is observed by the Muslim community three days after the month-long Ramadan fasting.

It was established as a regular holiday by virtue of Republic Act 9177 to honor the country's Islamic heritage.
