Aquino's message for "Eidul Adha"

President Benigno Aquino III dedicated a special message for our Muslim brothers on "Eidul Adha".

President Aquino: Our government joins all Muslim Filipinos in observance of Eidul Adha, one of the most revered festivals of the Islamic community.

Your solemn dedication to strengthen your faith further reinforces Islam's ideals of peace, solidarity, and modesty. Your earnest conviction for your beliefs and steadfast fulfillment of your religious obligations in an increasingly changing world serve as an inspiration to your countrymen.

As a reflection of a tale about unconditional trust, Eidul Adha reminds Muslim Filipinos that sacrifice is a test of one's principles amid the challenges and complexities of life. This occasion also imparts the lesson of courage, motivating a believer to be more accepting of the trials along the way of his enlightenment.

I am hopeful that you will remain committed in helping us create an environment of stability through harmonious relations among all Filipinos. May this celebration bring forth serenity within yourselves and your respective communities, and further unite a nation that is now treading the straight path toward lasting amity and equitable progress. -Official Gazette — ARA
