EASTER MESSAGE OF SENATE PRESIDENT FRANKLIN M. DRILON

I am very pleased to extend my warm greetings to all as the nation celebrates Easter Sunday marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

For a predominantly Christian nation like ours, the life and teachings of Christ continue to speak to every generation of Filipinos. His miraculous resurrection gives us boundless hope for the future and offers us the promise of a new life.

As families gather to celebrate Easter, let us renew our commitment to follow the example of Christ in giving ourselves for others. The Lord came to earth with a life to give, so each one of us may continue to live.

I believe it is possible for us to become closer to God and develop a deep and abiding commitment to Christian principles. I urge all Filipinos to adhere to the essential values, attitudes and behavior anchored on service to others, which, after all, lies at the core of the teachings of Christ.

If we adhere firmly to Christian precepts and teachings, then we can contribute to building a better Philippine society that we all want and deserve.

My family joins me in sending best wishes for a wonderful Easter to all our people.
