MANILA -Members of President Aquino’s inner circle in the Palace have greeted him on his 55th birthday on Sunday and wished him good health, wisdom, and divine guidance to President Benigno S. Aquino III for his 55th birthday on Sunday, according to Herminio Coloma, head of the Presidential Communications Operations Office.
“Taimtim na panalangin at gabay ng Panginoon ang ating hangad para sa Pangulo sa kanyang patuloy na pagpapatupad at pagtataguyod ng mga proyekto at programa para matamo ang adhikaing inclusive growth sa loob ng kanyang panunungkulan,” he said.
Coloma said ‘good health and guidance’ has always been Aquino’s simple wish whenever he is marking his own birthday so he could keep serving his countrymen and steer the nation in the right direction.
“Siguro po ay susundan ko na rin po ang naging panawagan ng ating kasamang si Secretary Edwin Lacierda na habang binabati natin ang ating Pangulo sa kanyang pagdiriwang ng kanyang kaarawan ay isama po natin ang panalangin na siya ay pagkalooban po ng lakas at magandang kalusugan para maipagpatuloy niya ang paglilingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino sa pinakamahusay na paraan hanggang matapos ang kanyang panunungkulan,” Coloma said.
Lacierda sought for prayers for Aquino’s birthday from the public, especially in a difficult time when the administration and the entire nation are dealing with the impact of the January 25 Mamasapano clash.
“One of the things that we’ve always asked and I’ve always asked privately to those friends of ours, not only to our friends from the religious secto is to always pray for the President because malaking bagay sa ating Pangulo na alam niyang ipinagdarasal siya ng ating mga kababayan. It gives him strength, and knowing that situations are difficult now, we thank the many Filipinos who continue to pray for the President,” Lacierda said.
With Aquino’s term also nearing its end, Lacierda said they are also praying for the people to recognize the “seeds of institutional reform” being sown by the president.
“Siguro ang gift natin kay Pangulong Aquino is that we abide and we remember the reforms that he has started kasi these reforms will go beyond 2016. So we ask the Filipino people to trust in the President, to trust in the reforms that he has made, and he will not let us down. He will always do the right thing,” he said. (Mindanao Examiner, PCOO)
