STATEMENT OF SEN. NANCY BINAY
On the International Day of Happiness

We Filipinos are known for our happy disposition in life, our resilience and the ability to smile in the midst of suffering.

True happiness is something we aspire to achieve but even with smiles on our faces, many of us incessantly worry about inequality, threats to peace and order and widespread cases of poverty we have yet to succeed in eradicating.

Solving these will not be easy for our nation but as individuals, we can do something to contribute to the happiness of others.

This International Day of Happiness, let us work towards the well-being of our kababayans to achieve true happiness by getting rid of negativity and showing compassion to others at all times.

Upang makamtan po natin ang tunay na kaligayahan, tanggalin na po sana natin sa ating mga puso ang galit at palitan ito ng malasakit at pagmamahal para sa lahat.

Sumasaludo po sa Araw ng Kaligayahan!
