SPEAKER Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III led the House of Representatives in joining the Muslim Filipinos and the global Muslim community on the first day of Ramadan, calling the holy month a time for discipline, sacrifice and solidarity.
“Sa ating mga kapatid na Muslim dito sa Pilipinas at sa buong mundo, isang mapagpalang pagbati sa pagsisimula ng banal na Buwan ng Ramadan,” Dy said in his statement.
Speaker Dy described Ramadan as a sacred period of fasting, prayer and reflection that strengthens faith and deepens compassion for others.
“Ang Ramadan ay panahon ng pag-aayuno, taimtim na pagdarasal, at mas malalim na pagninilay. Ito ay paalala ng kahalagahan ng disiplina, sakripisyo, at malasakit sa kapwa,” he said.
Dy urged Filipinos to use the season to reinforce unity and peace in their communities.
“Sa diwa ng Ramadan, nawa’y lalo nating pagtibayin ang pagkakaisa, kapayapaan, at malasakit sa ating mga komunidad.”
On behalf of the House of Representatives, Dy expressed solidarity with Muslim communities and called on leaders to serve with humility and integrity.
