Statement of Vice President Leni Robredo on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Kaisa ako ng bawat Katoliko sa pagdiriwang ng Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Pagkakataon ang araw na ito upang pagnilayan ang Birheng Maria: Conceived without original sin; napupuno ng grasya mula pa sa sinapupunan. Sinasalamin nito ang kaisipan: Sa pag-ibig ng Maykapal, lahat nagagawang dalisay.
Nawa’y manatiling matatag ang ating pananalig, at patuloy natin itong isadiwa sa pagtakwil sa kasalanan, at palaging pagmamahal at pagtulong sa ating kapwa.
