MANILA – Vice President Sara Z. Duterte urged Filipinos to share God’s blessings with those in need and to remain united amid life’s challenges in her Christmas message.

In her message delivered in multiple languages, Duterte said Christmas becomes more meaningful when people extend help to the poor, the sick, orphans, the homeless, and victims of disasters and violence, as well as sectors experiencing neglect.

“Mga kababayan, magiging mas makabuluhan ang Pasko kung ibabahagi natin ang mga biyaya ng Diyos sa ating kapwa lalo na sa mga nahihirapan sa buhay,” she said.

Duterte emphasized that hope, strength, and faith are rooted in kindness and generosity, which she said guide individuals, families, and the nation. She also encouraged Filipinos to pray for peace and stability in the country.

“Tandaan po natin na ang pusong nagpapasalamat ay mapagbigay, mapagmahal, mapagpatawad,” she said.

The Vice President wished Filipinos happiness with their families and loved ones, ending her message with a call to love the country “para sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at bawat Pamilyang Pilipino.”
