Peace and fewer calamities
for the Philippines.
This is what Vice President Leni Robredo wished for the new
year.
She acknowledged that 2017 did not end well for Filipinos, that’s
why she wishes for two things.
“Sa akin, hindi lang siguro isa, pero una, katahimikan para
sa ating bansa. Pangalawa, sana mabawasan na iyong mga sakuna,” Robredo said.
(for me, it is not only one, but first, peace for our
country. Second, I hope there will be less calamities.)
Aside for a peaceful 2018, she also wished for zero violence
and killings for the Philippines.
“Kaya iyong wish natin, na sa maiwasan na iyong mga ganito.
Maiwasan iyong away, maiwasan na iyong patayan; at magkaisa tayong mga
Pilipino.” She said.
(So, my wish is that we are to avoid fighting, killings, and
we should unit as Filipinos.)
Robredo shared that she spent the holidays with her three daughters
- Aika, Tricia, and Jillian.
“Christmas and New Year have always been spent with Jesse’s
siblings and their families. This year was an exception,” Robredo said in her
Facebook post.
Robredo said that Filipinos were “very polarized” in the
past year and expressed her hopes that it will be different in 2018.
“Hindi naging maganda iyong 2017 as far as pagkakaisa is
concerned—masyadong polarized iyong mga Pilipino noong mga nakaraang buwan at
nakaraang taon,” she said.
She added that 2017 did not end well because of the
consecutive disasters that struck different parts of the country.
“Matagal na nating pinagtatrabahuhan na zero casualties sana
tayo sa mga sakuna, pero iyong tanong ngayon, bakit ang daming namatay? Tingin
ko panahon ito para i-assess ulit kung ano iyong mali na ginagawa natin,” She
said.
