MANILA, Philippines —Vice President Leni Robredo urged Filipinos on Sunday to continue the fight against social ills that we confront today as the country welcome 2019.

“Ngayong 2019, patuloy tayo magkapit-bisig sa ating laban sa kahirapan, karahasan, at kawalan ng hustisya,” Robredo said in her New Year’s message.

“May mas malalaki pa tayong hamon na dapat harapin para maiangat ang antas ng kabuhayan ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Sama-sama tayong magdala ng pag-asa sa bawat komunidad na ating kinabibilangan,” she added.

“Nasilayan natin nitong nagdaang taon ang kuwento ng mga magigiting nating mga kababayan, na gumawa ng kahanga-hangang kabayanihan sa iba’t ibang mga paraan. Marami sa kanila ay walang takot na nagpahayag ng katotohanan, nagpakita ng pagmamalasakit kahit sa kagalit, at naglingkod para sa kapakanan ng mga nasa laylayan ng lipunan,” she said.

The Vice President also said that a new year gives Filipinos another chance to attain a better quality of life.
“Panahon ang bagong taon para sa bagong simula, at anuman ang nangyari sa nakaraan, anuman ang landas na ating hinahangad, may pagkakataon pa rin tayong makamit ang kinabukasang ating pinapangarap,” Robredo said.
