GRACE POE's EID'L FITR MESSAGE

We mark the Eid'l Fitr, the end of the Holy Month of fasting or Ramadan, in a time of conflict.

As a consequence of the fighting, thousands of families have left their homes and are in makeshift evacuation centers - trying to conquer the hunger, disease, fear, the heat and cold.

After a month of fasting, introspection and quest of faith, let the occasion of Eid'l Fitr serve as symbol of our collective pursuit towards peace and unity, especially in this time when our solidarity as a nation is being put to test with the fighting in Marawi City.

Let us stand together against the forces that seek to instill fear in us.

This is a time for great hope and courage to stand up for our one nation with the guidance of Allah who brings the promise of love and peace. Eid Mubarak!
