To All Our Dear PamCham Members,
As we journey through this sacred season of Lent, may we be reminded of its deeper meaning – a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal. In the midst of our busy lives as business leaders and community builders, let us take this moment to pause and reconnect with our faith and values.
Let us use this time to lift our hearts in prayer not only for ourselves and our families, but for our country that continues to face many challenges. Let us ask God to pour out His grace upon us: to bless our homes with peace and protection, to keep our loved ones safe from harm, and to grant us the strength and wisdom to face the uncertainties of life with hope and courage.
To those who will be observing Visita Iglesia today, we humbly ask that you include in your prayers a special intention for our beloved Philippines. As we prepare for the May 2025 elections, let us pray that the Filipino people, especially those from the lower and most vulnerable sectors of our society, may be guided by truth, discernment, and wisdom in choosing our future leaders.
We have long witnessed how poor choices in leadership have perpetuated hardship, poverty, and broken systems. Unless this cycle is broken, unless voters realize that real change comes from electing competent, honest, and servant-hearted leaders, we will remain trapped in these same struggles. It is our collective duty to pray for transformation, not just in our systems, but in the hearts and minds of every Filipino.
We also include in our intentions the business community. As employers and entrepreneurs, let us pray for our employees that they may find joy, purpose, and dedication in their work. May they be inspired to grow not only professionally but also personally, becoming active contributors to the growth of the companies they belong to. When our businesses thrive, we are able to extend greater opportunities, create more jobs, and serve as vital contributors to economic and social development in our communities.
Let us pray that the partnership between employers and employees continues to be strengthened, built on mutual respect, shared purpose, and a commitment to excellence. Through this, our enterprises can become true instruments of nation-building.
This Holy Week is more than just tradition, it is a powerful opportunity to align our hearts with God’s will. May our prayers, sacrifices, and reflections lead us to greater purpose, stronger faith, and a deeper love for our nation and each other.
May God bless each one of you and your families. May He bless PamCham and our country with hope, renewal, and righteous leadership.
