MANILA- President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday he hopes that the holy month of Ramadan would bring peace as the country faces the coronavirus crisis.
Duterte urged Filipino Muslims to foster unity and solidarity in the country as this year's Ramadan is considered by some as challenging with many cities and towns under lockdown.
"As you embody the religious insights and epiphanies you have gleaned from this undertaking, may you be moved to advance our collective resolve to eschew misguided ideologies so that we may achieve a truly progressive and inclusive society," he added.— Arianne Merez April 23, 2020
