of
His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III
President of the Philippines
To the Muslim Community in the Philippines
On the observance of Eid’l Adha
[Released on September 25, 2015]
I join the Muslim Community in the Philippines in observance and celebration of the Eid’l Adha.
Let solidarity, tranquility, and clarity of purpose prevail over you on this solemn occasion, as
you ruminate on Ibraham’s tale that reveals unwavering, empowering faith and the tenacity of
the human spirit. It inspires strength and courage in the face of doubt, challenges, and despair,
especially to those bereft of hope, stricken by tragedy and the disquiet of communities long
neglected by those in power. Let this narrative find greater resonance and relevance as we go
about our collective journey of renewal. Let it reinforce our bonds as we work together to fulfill
our mission of perpetuating positive change in society.

May this day likewise remind us of the stories of sacrifice upon which we built our nation.
We owe this era of peace to those who readily laid down their lives to secure a better future
for their fellowmen. Never will we let their honor be tainted by mistrust, viciousness, and
malice sowed by those who seek to hinder us on our march along the Daang Matuwid.
We, as adamantly and relentlessly as our heroes, will continue to fight for their dream:
A peaceful, harmonious, and inclusive Philippines.
