MANILA\u2014President Rodrigo Duterte urged the Muslim Filipino communities to unite with other Filipinos to achieve lasting peace, political stability and economic growth as they celebrated Eid’l Fitr Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In his message to mark the occasion, President Duterte said this year\u2019s celebration is timely and relevant with the country having new administration.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026The Filipino nation starts a fresh move towards peace, stability, development and progress under a new leadership. Definitely, we view the new administration with high hope and sustained enthusiasm that, with the support and cooperation of every Filipino, it will propel our country to greater heights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President hoped that the sense of discipline the Holy Month of Ramadan has taught and nurtured among Muslims could encourage the Muslim Filipino communities to unite with other Filipinos.<\/p>\n

Muslims celebrated Eid’l Fitr, the end of the holy month of Ramadan, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI extend my warm greetings and felicitations to the members of the Muslim Ummah (communities), as they celebrate today Eid\u2019l Fitr or the culmination of the month-long observance and fasting of the Holy Month of Ramadhan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive said the observance of fasting during Ramadan is among the five pillars of Islam.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs everybody knows, fasting during Ramadan teaches discipline. It instills in one\u2019s mind and heart the virtues of honesty, sincerity and commitment to his faith. It promotes understanding, peace, sympathy and love for fellow human beings,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
