VP Sara: Remember hungry, sick during Christmas

Vice President Sara Duterte on Christmas eve called on Filipinos to remember the poor, hungry, and sick, and thank countrymen who showed steadfastness, integrity, and love for the country.

In her Christmas message uploaded on her official Facebook page, Duterte said Christmas should serve as a reminder of the triumphs, and a celebration of faith and thanksgiving, as she said this should serve as a guide to achieve goals.

“Huwag natin kalimutan sa Pasko at sa abot ng ating makakaya sa iba pang mga araw ay tulungan at damayan natin ang ating kapwa Pilipino na naghihirap, nagugutom, may karamdaman, at nag-aagaw buhay,” she said.

“Ngayong Pasko, pasalamatan natin ang ating mga kababayang nagpakita ng katatagan, integridad, malasakit, at pagmamahal sa bayan,” she added.

(This Christmas and on other days, let us not forget to help and console our fellow Filipinos who are facing difficult times, who are hungry, who are sick, and those on the verge of life and death.

This Christmas let us thank our countrymen who showed steadfastness, integrity, and love for the country.)
