PBBM: A moment for reflection, renewal
I join Filipinos all over the world as we welcome the New Year 2026.
The coming of another year is always a moment for reflection and renewal. It gives us the opportunity to look back on the year that has passed — its lessons, challenges, and achievements — and to look ahead with hope and purpose to the possibilities that await us.
As we step into 2026, I therefore call on every Filipino to embrace the year with discipline, confidence, and a shared commitment to our nation’s progress.
For beyond personal resolutions, the new year calls on us to examine how we live with one another, how we lift one another, and how our choices shape our nation. A society thrives when its people choose empathy over indifference, service over self-interest, and hope over despair. It is thus our commitment in the government to be relentless in pursuing a Bagong Pilipinas that nurtures unity, fosters compassion, and showcases the greatness of our kababayan.
As we step into the unfolding days ahead, may we move forward with a clearer understanding of our role in each other’s lives and a renewed commitment to building a future shaped not by circumstance alone, but by the strength of our will and the clarity of our collective purpose.
Manigong Bagong Taon sa ating lahat! Mabuhay ang Bagong Pilipinas!
VP Sara: Time to end doubts, fears
Isang masigla at mainit na pagbati ng Bagong Taon ang ipinapaabot ko sa bawat Pilipino sa buong mundo!
Sa pagsalubong natin sa 2026, iwaksi na natin ang anumang pag-aalinlangan at takot.
Ngayon ang simula ng isang panibagong kabanata, isang malinis na pahina na punung-puno ng pag-asa.
Hayaan nating mag-alab muli ang ating tapang at determinasyon.
Anuman ang hamon na ating haharapin, taglay natin ang pambihirang lakas upang malampasan ang lahat ng balakid. Sa bawat pagsubok, lalabas tayong mas matatag.
Itinuring natin ang bagong taon na paanyaya upang magkaisa at magsimula nang may panibagong pananaw. Ang ating pinagsamang lakas at pananampalataya ang susi ng tunay na pagbabago.
Sama-sama tayong magsikap at magdasal na ang 2026 ay maging taon ng pag-asa at pagpapala.
Maligayang Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat! Nawa’y maging mas maliwanag at maunlad ang ating panibagong simula.
Mahalin natin ang Pilipinas — para sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at sa bawat Pamilyang Pilipino.
SP Sotto: Continue serving the public
2025 was a comeback year for me in public service after three years of life as a private citizen.
It was a humbling experience coming from the minority to being elected as the Senate President in the middle of one of the largest controversies that challenged the institution.
The last six months comprises of whirlwind national issues both in the Senate and the country as a whole — from the impeachment to the flood control issues.
But most importantly, it is a year of opportunity to correct the wrongs and establish a new standard of transparency that our countrymen deserves.
I made sure that for the first time, the whole budget process was opened to the public for scrutiny and participation.
With the guidance of The Lord our God, may we be able to continue to serve the public with utmost sincerity and honesty in 2026!
Speaker Dy: Be sources of unity, not division
Sa ating mga mahal na kababayan, batid ko pong patuloy tayong naghahanap ng pananagutan. Nasa gitna tayo ng yugto ng ating kasaysayan kung kailan matindi ang pagkadismaya. Salamat po sa inyong patuloy na pasensya at pagbibigay ng pagkakataong makuha muli ang inyong tiwala. Gagawin namin po ang lahat para hindi po kayo biguin.
As your Speaker, I always said that the trust in govern is built not by words alone but by actions. Kaya’t nais ko rin pong ibahagi ang isang mahalagang hakbang na ating tatalakayin para sa reforms at modernization ng kongreso. Bilang bahagi ng ating pangako at bukas na makabagong pamamahala, sisimulan ng Kamara ngayong 2026, sa tulong po ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), ang mga hakbang tungo sa isang paperless Congress at ang paggamit ng blockchain technology upang matiyak ang integridad, seguridad at transparency ng ating proseso — at kasama dito ang pagbuo ng susunod na national budget. Once this transition is completed, we will be the first legislative body in Asia to adopt this technology.
Ginagawa natin ito dahil naniniwala tayo na ang transparency ay hindi lamang isang adhikain o slogan; dapat po ito ay isinasagawa at isinasabuhay. Gaya ng aking sinabi noon, ako’y inyong pagkatiwalaan bilang Speaker; patuloy nating gagawin ang lahat ng makakaya upang gawin na mas bukas, mas malinaw at mas mapagkakatiwalaan ang Kongreso.
As we enter a new year, may this be our shared commitment: Let us be the sources of unity, not division. Let us speak with clarity, not confusion. Let us choose to heal, not to wound. Hindi man tayo laging magkakasundo, nawa’y mananatili tayong magalang, makatao at may malasakit. Ang pagkakaiba ng pananaw ay hindi dapat maging dahilan ng pagkakahati-hati kundi pagkakataon upang makinig at umunawa.
While reflecting back on 2025 and preparing for 2026, let us hold firmly to the promise of the Lord: ‘Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength’. Ito ang lakas na kailangan ng ating bansa ngayon — lakas na nagmumula sa pag-asa, sa pananampalataya at sa paniniwalang may magandang bukas ang Pilipinas. Gagamitin natin ang ating lakas para magkaisa at magtulungan, pangungunahan ng mga lingkod bayan na may tapang, may malasakit at may pagmamahal.
As we welcome the year 2026, may it bring us renewed hope and deeper faith. May it give us the courage to do what is right and the kindness to do it with love.
Rep. Romualdez: A brighter future for all Filipino families
Nawa’y maging taon ng pag-asa, pagkakaisa, at mas maayos na kinabukasan para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino.
Sama-sama nating harapin ang bagong taon nang may malasakit, sipag, at pananampalataya sa mas magandang bukas.
