This season of joy and hope, I extend my warmest greetings to the men and women of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, our civilian personnel, reservists, and their families.
Christmas is a time to reflect on the sacrifices we have made and the missions we have accomplished in service to our beloved nation. It is also a time to celebrate the blessings of unity, resilience, and shared purpose that bind us as one strong AFP.
As we gather with our loved ones or carry out our duties far from home, let us be reminded of the true spirit of Christmas—selfless service, compassion, and unwavering faith. May the peace and joy of this season inspire us to continue our commitment to safeguarding the freedoms and security of the Filipino people.
To all our personnel who remain on duty this Christmas to ensure the safety and well-being of our citizens, I salute your dedication and sacrifice. You embody the highest ideals of service and patriotism, and your efforts are deeply appreciated.
Merry Christmas to all, and may this season bring peace, hope, and happiness to every Filipino home.///
