Vice President Leni Robredo New Year’s Message to Filipinos

December 31, 2017

Written in Filipino, Vice President Leni Robredo is as optimistic as ever, specially this coming 2018. Here’s the full text of her message.

Mensahe
Isang manigong bagong taon sa inyong lahat, mula sa aming pamilya at sa Tanggapan nang Pangalawang Pangulo.

Sa ating pagsalubong sa 2018, panalangin natin na patuloy na mamuhay ang liwanag nang pag-ibig at pag-asa sa puso ng bawat isa.

Marami tayong pagsubok na hinaharap at haharapin pa. Nandiyan ang pagkalat nang negatibismo at galit, paglaganap ng kultura ng takot at karahasan sa ating lipunan. Ngunit sa kabila ng mga ito, naging saksi tayo sa katotohanan: na ang bawat Pilipino ay tanglaw sa pag-asa.

Sa bawat kamunidad na ating pinuntahan at sa bawat pamilya na ating nakasalamuha, nakita natin ang kabutihan at habag ng bawat isa para sa ating kapwa.

Kaya’t ngayong 2018m buhay pa rin ang pangarap natin na mabigyan ng mas magandang kinabukasan ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Nananatili tayong matatag at determinado sa ating adhikain na iangat ang ating mga kababayan mula sa kahirapan at ipagtanggol ang mga karapatan ang bawat Pilipino.

Muli, isang masaya at masaganang bagong taon sa ating lahat!

A very positive New Year’s message from the President of the Philippine Rodrigo Duterte. Here’s the full text of his message.

I greet the Filipino people, here in the Pilippines and in all corners of the world, as we welcome the New Year.

As we spend time with our family, friends and loved ones in turning a new page in our nation’s history, let draw strength from what we have achieved both as individual and as a community in the past year. It is my hope that we foster solidarity as we move forward in our pursuit of providing a more comfortable and productive life for all.

We are a time when our resolve is being tested by many trials and difficulties. Corruptoin, criminality, illegal drugs and terrorism have impeded our progress in the past year. However, I remain hopeful that our resilience will enable us to overcome and rise above these challenges as one nation.

Let us embrace this coming year’s uncertainty with a glimmer of hope and remain determined in achieving our visio of a better and more prosperous future.

I wish all of us a fruitful and blessed New Year.
