BBM hopes Ramadan strengthens kinship among Filipinos

"It is my hope that this monthlong celebration will strengthen our kinship, open our hearts to forgive past grievances, and embrace a spirit of harmony that will redound to our collective progress," Marcos said in his message.

"Together, let us build a future where love and understanding prevail and where the light of hope shines brightly for all," he added.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world observe fasting and abstain from worldly pleasures "as a means of purifying their souls and deepening their connection with Allah," the President said.
