Christmas Message
December is that special time of the year when Filipinos feel a different sense of joy and families and friends get together to celebrate the best-loved season in the Philippines.
Pasko brings peace and happiness to the people and prompt a celebratory mood in every home, school, workplace and the community. Sa ating bayan, ang Pasko ay ipinagdiriwang nang buong sigla at tiyak na nagdadala ng kaligayahan sa bawat isa.
Indeed, this year brought us plenty of gifts to be grateful about. In the Philippines we celebrated 150 years of our National Hero Dr.Jose RIZAL, who had very strong ties to Austria through his friend Prof.Ferdinand Blumentritt; his great-grandson Erwin Blumentritt still lives in Tirol as a stonecutter.
Our hard work earned us success that allowed our government to better provide for its people. We have regained the trust and confidence of different actors in the world stage and better opportunities are made available for our countrymen.
The Filipino Austrian community in Tirol and Vorarlberg has been steadfast in their support of the struggle to achieve peace, progress and prosperity in the Philippines. Distance has not deterred our kababayan in Tirol and Vorarlberg from reaching out to their motherland and responding to the call of their friends and families back home.
I urge you to remain confident and determined in your commitment of helping the Philippines. The strength of our country depends on all of us, Filipinos in every corner of the world. We have made great strides but many challenges remain. I ask you to stay the course and let us continue working together for the future of our nation of our Philippines.
Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat!
