I am one with the nation in the observance of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

This season is an invitation for us to honor all the saints, both known and unknown, and celebrate the lives of our departed loved ones. We also take the time to honor the legacy, memory, and patriotic deeds of our fallen comrades who selflessly dedicated their lives in service to the country and made the ultimate sacrifice.

I enjoin my fellow Filipinos to exercise their right to vote and select the next leaders of their communities this coming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections on October 30.
