MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos should perform acts of kindness and charity toward those in need, as there is always hope of “better and new beginnings” even in the face of adversities.
President Rodrigo Duterte made the appeal as he joined the nation in celebrating Easter Sunday amid the new coronavirus crisis gripping the entire world.
“The triumph of the risen Christ presents us all with hopeful assurance that, even as we face adversities, there is always hope of better and new beginnings,” he said in his message on Sunday. —Julie M. Aurelio
