VP NOLI’S NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE
31 December 2005

As we welcome 2006, I share with every Filipino the hope of another new beginning. I join the whole nation in looking forward to many changes that will improve the life of our countrymen.  Let us continue our country's quest for unity, progress and development.  Truly, I am confident that the Filipino people has what it takes to overcome all obstacles towards prosperity and national renewal.  The past years, including 2005, were indeed trying times.  Difficult as they may have been, the years past have not broken our spirit but instead, they have served to bring out the best in the Filipino.  Because of the unwavering faith of the Filipino people in our democratic way of life and the ideals enshrined in our Constitution, we have great reason to hope for better things to come in 2006.


Sa patnubay ng ating Panginoon at pangunguna ng ating pamahalaan, nawa’y pag-ibayuhin nating lahat ang pagsisikap na mapabuti ang ating kalagayan.  Huwag tayong maging makasarili.  Bagkus, ating isaalang-alang ang ikabubuti ng ating kapwa at nakararaming mga kababayan, lalong-lalo na ang mga mahihirap.


The year 2006 ushers in new challenges that would further test our character as a people.  Guided by Divine Providence, I am confident that the challenges we will jointly face will only make the bond among us stronger.  And after these ordeals, we can expect the real Filipino identity to emerge, one that our generation can be proud of.


Finally, let us remember to thank the Almighty God for all the blessings He has showered on the Filipino family.  May we always remember to look up to Him for inner strength and inspiration for He has never turned down nor refused to hear the Filipino people’s prayers, especially in our times of need.


Malugod kong binabati ang lahat ng Pilipino dito sa ating bansa maging sa buong mundo. Nawa’y magtulungan tayo at magkaisa para sa isang makabuluhan at maunlad na Bagong Taon!!!
