EASTER 2017 MESSAGE OF SENATE PRESIDENT AQUILINO "KOKO" PIMENTEL III

On behalf of the Senate, allow me to join the whole nation as we observe the annual Lenten season and look forward to Easter Sunday that symbolizes rebirth and renewal for the Christian world.

Our nation is now engaged in the same process of rebirth and renewal under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

The campaign against drugs, crime and corruption seeks to do away with the evils that hinder our march towards redemption and progress, while our 10-point economic and social reform agenda and proposed shift to a federal system of government are aimed at building a new future for our people and our nation as a whole.

Let this Easter be an opportune occasion for us to unite in solidarity behind our shared aspirations for peace, freedom, justice and a better quality of life for all Filipinos in the years ahead.
