NANAWAGAN si President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa publiko na gawing taimtim at payak ang paggunita sa kanilang mga namayapang mahal sa buhay.

Ayon kay President Marcos, “the many people whose deeds and presence continue to be felt long after their passing.”

“During these twin feasts, we proclaim that those who came before us do not vanish into nothingness but continue to live on in our hearts and minds,” paliwanag ng presidente.

Nagpaalala ang pangulo na tiyak ang kamatayan sa lahat ng tao, simple man o dakila.

“Even in the transience of our own mortality, we have the capacity to make a lasting impact in our communities and those around us,” sabi ng Presidente.

Ayon sa kanya, mahalaga ang pagdarasal para sa mga namayapa, maging ang kandila na simbolo ng kaluluwa.

“Ultimately, these occasions remind us of the paradise that awaits in the hereafter—where poverty, pain, and suffering no longer hold purchase, and where the Lord Almighty resides in splendor among His people.

Until then, our duty is to fashion a foretaste of its splendor here on earth,” sabi ni President Marcos.
