MANILA — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. joined the Catholic community in celebrating the resurrection of Jesus this Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, emphasizing the importance of living a Christ-like life.

In a statement, Marcos remarked, “This auspicious occasion reminds us that, while faith, devotion, and sacrifice are, by themselves, worthy ideals to aspire for, they also yield great rewards both here on earth and in the hereafter.”

“Let us draw inspiration from this important narrative as we overcome our personal and spiritual challenges. May this day also ignite our hearts to live a Christ-like life, especially in sharing our blessings with the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden,” the President added.

Marcos called upon the public to unite in prayer for the continued guidance of God in the endeavor to build a Bagong Pilipinas.
