I wish to convey my greetings and felicitations to my fellow Filipinos in Saudi Arabia on the occasion of the 118th anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence which reminds us, once again, of our inspiring history, and our heroes’ selfless sacrifices.
This year’s theme — “Kalayaan 2016: Pagkakaisa, Pag-aambagan, Pagsulong” — reaffirms the Filipino nation’s collective resolve to continue striving for the Philippines’ pursuit for unity and peace and create a more prosperous and equitable nation.
I pay tribute to the Filipinos in Saudi Arabia.
For decades, the Saudi people have acknowledged, appreciated and given recognition to the Filipinos in the Kingdom for their contribution to its progress.
Filipinos will continue to participate in the development of the Kingdom, particularly in the realization of its newly-launched National Transformation Program under Saudi Vision 2030.
Over the years, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia have been enjoying close bilateral ties, not only because the Kingdom plays a good host to Filipino workers, but also because the two countries have been collaborating and coordinating in various fields of endeavors — political, trade and investment, labor and culture — for their mutual benefits.
I am certain that these close relations between the two countries will be further strengthened as they continue their engagements in various fields of cooperation and share common interests in the international fora.
Mabuhay!
