2018 New Year's Day Message of Senator Loren Legarda

Let us welcome the new year with a grateful heart and may we all be stronger, wiser and more resilient.

I hope that the challenges we faced yesterday would strengthen our resolve to do better tomorrow.

I pray that the tragedies that befell our fellow Filipinos would serve as lessons that will bring about urgent action to build safer and more resilient communities.

The Filipino people deserve more and that is what we aim in 2018, to give more of what our citizens need and rightfully deserve. The 2018 national budget, which I sponsored and championed, recognizes the actual needs and aspirations of our people, especially the poor and the most vulnerable. It is a budget that will sustain our economic growth while also protecting the basic rights of Filipinos.

More challenges will definitely come our way, but we must let our strength, wisdom, hope, and love prevail.

I wish everyone a happy and blessed New Year!
