As a people , a higher Gross National Happiness, of being  proud of  ourselves , confident in our abilities  and upbeat on the future.  

I wish us all  good health, but  when sickness strikes,  health care that will  heal us.  Better schools for our children , so they can go through life  as far and as fast as their talent  will take them .

Jobs for all Filipinos, one that will put food on the table, roof over  his head, and hope in the hearts of his loved ones.  

For those who feed us, a better year, bumper harvest and bountiful catch.

To those who labor overseas, more reunions with loved ones, and finally, after dreams have been met,  a one-way ticket to the homeland  , for their families to be complete again.

To civil servants, the continuing passion to serve our people, whether molding the minds of our youth, defending our borders, or keeping our streets safe.

I wish entrepreneurs  profit with honor, a just return to  the audacity of their investments,  including millennials in brave  start ups.

As we begin the third decade of the millennium, may we be united in our vision of what we want for us all. (30)
