By MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday urged Filipinos to welcome the New Year by looking beyond their personal resolutions and to reflect instead on their collective role in shaping the country.
In his New Year message, Marcos called on everyone to embrace 2026 with discipline, confidence, and a shared commitment to the nation’s progress.
“Beyond personal resolutions, the New Year calls on us to examine how we live with one another, how we lift one another, and how our choices shape our nation,” he said.
