Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 24) — In his Christmas message, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. urged the public to remember the true meaning of the holidays and encouraged others to reach out to the less fortunate.
\”More than just a day of celebration, let us be reminded that the true meaning of Christmas lies in the recognition of the season as an opportunity to reach out to those who are suffering from solitude, sickness, and poverty,\” Marcos said in a statement.
\”Indeed, there is no better way for us to share the gift of Christmas than by spreading hope to those who need it the most this holiday season,\” he added.
Marcos said extending this kindness to others allows people to \”become living instruments of the timeless adage that God’s work here on earth is truly our own.\”
