PBBM sa mga Pinoy: Gamitin ang Fire Horse energy para umunlad

HINIKAYAT ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., araw ng Martes, ang mga Filipino na pantayan ang simbolismo ng katapangan at pasulong na galaw ng Fire Horse na may disiplina, pagsusumikap at pamamahala.
“I invite all Filipinos to move with purposeful haste — swift when necessary; measured when it matters most. Momentum can be energizing, but direction is what truly delivers results,” ang sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos sa kanyang mensahe sa pagdiriwang ng Lunar New Year.
“Let us protect what is essential such as fair opportunity and reliable public services, while enhancing productivity, stronger value chains, and communities that never leave the vulnerable behind,” aniya pa rin.
Binigyang diin pa ni Pangulong Marcos na hindi nagsusulong ng simbolismo ng nag-iisa.
“It (the country) progresses when Filipinos show up for work, when households make every peso count with prudence and good judgment, and when government and industries keep the country growing through consistent service and sound decisions, and the rigor that turns daily effort into long-term growth,” anito.
Inilarawan naman ni Pangulong Marcos ang Lunar New Year bilang “a season of renewal for many Filipino families, communities, and businesses — a time to set priorities, execute plans, and focus on what sustains them.”
‘Across generations, we have come to see prosperity as something we cultivate: built by everyday work, guided by discipline, and multiplied when it creates jobs and supports initiatives that hold our people together,” aniya pa rin.
Sa kabilang dako, itinigil na ni Pangulong Marcos ang pagtawag sa selebrasyon na “Chinese New Year,” at sa halip ay tinawag niya itong “Lunar New Year” upang maging mas ‘inclusive’ sa ibang Asian nations na nagdiriwang ng kasiyahan.
Sa ilalim ng Proclamation No. 1006 ipinalabas ni Pangulong Marcos noong Setyembre ng nakaraang taon, kasama ang Feb. 17, 2026 sa listahan ng karagdagang special non-working days para sa pagdiriwang “Chinese New Year.”
