By LBG, GMA News

President Benigno Aquino III called on Filipinos to harness their renewed faith in helping fight the Calvary caused by corruption.

In his Easter message, Aquino reminded Filipinos they should keep their faith in God alive even after the Holy Week has ended.

“Bawa’t isa sa atin ay may maiaambag sa pagtuldok sa katiwalian upang maisalba sa hirap at pasakit ang marami nating kababayan. Sa pamamagitan lamang nito, mararamdaman ng bawat Pilipino ang tunay na liwanag ng pagbabago,” he said.

(Each of us can contribute towards ending corruption, to save our fellow Filipinos from poverty. Only in this way can we Filipinos truly feel the light of change.)

“Sa pagwawakas ng Semana Santa, hindi sana magtapos dito ang ating taimtim na pananalig sa Panginoon. Ipagpatuloy natin ang pagtupad sa Kaniyang mga aral at lalo pa nating paigtingin ang ating pagkakawanggawa,” he added.

(As the Holy Week winds up, we should not stop believing in God. We must continue taking his teachings to heart and showing love for our neighbor.)
