New Year's Message of Sen. Aquilino Pimentel, Jr.

The arrival of a New Year is not only a time for merrymaking, it is also a time for contemplation and reflection.

As a nation, we know that we have missed many opportunities to establish stability, progress and social harmony. Although we have achieved modest economic growth, it has not addressed the massive problems of poverty, criminality, lack of relevant education, poor health care and the social ills of the country.

We should as a people resolve to move our country forward and steadily on the road to progress, social harmony, justice, equality and development starting with the new year.

In the spirit of love of God and country and respect for the human rights of our people, I wish all our readers a Happy New Year!

 

AQUILINO PIMENTEL, JR.
Minority Leader
