PBBM observes Ramadan alongside Muslims.

On Thursday, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. joined the Muslim community in commemorating the holy month of Ramadan and wished them spiritual refreshments.

It is important to practice self-control, devotion, and humility during this period of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. In a letter made public by the Presidential Communications Office, Marcos urged his fellow citizens to “purify their souls against the perils of worldly pleasures, as well as seek for forgiveness and peace. The spiritual belief that the gate of Heaven is open this sacred month calls upon our brothers and sisters.”

Additionally, Marcos advised Muslims to remember in their prayers anyone who is “in deep distress due to hunger, natural calamities, and unfavorable circumstances.”

Regardless of faith, he said, “the rituals and services during Ramadan remind us of our shared moral obligation to compassionately look out for each other, uphold our human dignity, and stand in solidarity.”

He also urged Filipinos to uphold diversity while fostering peace.

As a country rich in cultural diversity, Marcos stated, “let us allow our hearts to embrace the profound truth that respect… triumphs over division, understanding… over prejudice, and love… triumphs over all.”

The ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan, is commemorated by Muslims all over the world as a time for fasting, prayer, introspection, and community.

It honours the Prophet Muhammad’s initial revelation of the opening verses of the Qur’an, the sacred book of Islam. One of the tenets of Islam is enshrined in the Qur’an.

Muslims fast during the day during this time to remind themselves of the suffering of those who are less fortunate and to draw the faithful closer to Allah.
