President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. emphasized the significance of the Holy Month of Ramadan, calling it a period of personal reflection, spiritual growth, and renewed faith for the Muslim community.
In his message, Marcos expressed solidarity with Filipino Muslims as they observe this sacred time, which commemorates the revelation of the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad. He highlighted Ramadan as an opportunity to reflect on one’s purpose, extend kindness to others, and strengthen bonds within the community.
The President also described Ramadan as a powerful force for social transformation, promoting unity through fasting, prayer, and acts of charity.
Muslims worldwide observe Ramadan through fasting from dawn to sunset, prayer, and good deeds. The exact start of the month is determined by the sighting of the new moon, which varies across countries.
