MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Leni Robredo reminded Filipinos to find light in the darkest night in her first New Year’s message as the second highest official of the country.

Robredo warned of a “dark change” not only in the country, but in the whole world and the state of Filipinos under the poverty line.

“Kahit sa pinakamatinding kadiliman, lagi tayong may mahahanap na liwanag; matuto lamang tayong tumanaw nang may pasasalamat sa ating mga puso,” Robredo said in a video posted on her Facebook account.

“May kumakalat na madilim na pagbabago, hindi lang dito sa ating bayan, kundi sa buong mundo. Pagbabagong dala ng desperasyon at poot ng mga taong napag-iwanan ng pag-unlad. Ang mga taong lugmok sa kahirapan ay humihiyaw sa galit—at bakit naman hindi? Sila naman talaga ang dapat pinakikinggan ng ating pamahalaan at nating lahat,” she added.

The vice president remained hopeful and said that Filipinos should believe that in the end, the good will prevail.

“Dala ng bagong taon ang bagong mga pagkakataon. Patuloy tayong magtiwala. Lagi tayong manalig na sa dulo ng lahat – ang tama at mabuti ang siyang laging mananaig. Muli, isang masaya at masaganang bagong taon sa ating lahat!” Robredo said.
