My warmest greetings of peace and a Happy Spring Festival!

As we celebrate this joyous occasion, let us embrace the spirit of generosity and harmony that defines this season. This vibrant time not only honors our rich traditions but also highlights the strong bonds of collaboration that enrich our heritage.

Let us march ahead with renewed vigor and determination to ring in 2025 with hope and optimism.

We join all communities in celebrating the efforts that brought good fortune and growth in our shared pursuit of a resilient and prosperous future.

As we look forward to a New Year, let us nurture the spirit of compassion and bayanihan in rediscovering the rich and dynamic heritage that have long defined our mutual ties of friendship and cooperation.

And whatever lies ahead this year, may we face every challenge boldly with the same diligence, resilience, and hard work which all communities are known for.

I wish everyone a bountiful and successful Spring Festival celebration.

SARA Z. DUTERTE Vice President of the Philippines
