Sinabi ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ang pinkamgandang paraan upang igalang ang mga patay ay ang baguhin ang lipunan para sa kabutihan ng susunod na henerasyon.
Habang iginagalang ng mga Katoliko sa Pilipinas ang kanilang mga patay noong Oktubre 31 at Nobyembre 1, hiniling ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang lahat ng mga Pilipino na palaging ilagay sa isipan ang magigimg kinabukasan ng susunod na henerasyon.
Sabi pa niya, na ang mga namatay ay nag-iwan at nagbigay ng inspirasyon sa atin ngayon upang ilaan ang ating sarili sa mga dahilan na mas malaki kaysa sa ating sariling interes.
"Their deeds remind us that, like them, we are capable of bringing hope and joy to many people," dagdag pa niya.
"I am one with the Christian faithful on the observance of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
Throughout the years, we set aside these special dates to celebrate and remember the men and women, who, in one way or another, have enriched our faith and made a profound impact in our lives. Truly, there are so many lessons to learn and so much wisdom to gain from our saints and dearly departed loved ones.
Their pursuits brought us closer to God and affected each of us on a deep and personal level. Their lives inspire us to build on their legacy, to make our mark in this world and to dedicate ourselves to causes that are greater than our own self-interest. Their deeds remind us that, like them, we are capable of bringing hope and joy to many people.
As we pause to honor our dearly departed and our saints, let us reflect on how we can become agents of positive change in our society. Let us contemplate on how we can make our country and this world a much better place for ourselves and for future generations.
I wish you a solemn and meaningful observance."
-Rodrigo Roa Duterte
