Malacanang extended the invitation on Thursday to all Filipinos to join President Benigno S. Aquino III as he leads the nation in the National Day of Prayer and Solidarity on Monday to “remember the lives lost to the tragic incidents of 2013, to thank the Almighty for the nation’s strength and resilience, and to seek divine guidance as the country moves forward to rebuild the affected communities.”

The invite was extended by Presidential and Communications Operations and Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. in a press briefing in Malacanang.

“We call on all citizens to pause and join “One Nation in Prayer” in their respective homes, communities, places of work and worship on Monday, January 20. We thank the members of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) for their coverage of this event that will enable more Filipinos to participate and join “One Nation in Prayer,” Coloma said.

He said those expected to join the President on Monday will be “representatives of the affected communities of the Zamboanga standoff, the Bohol earthquake, and typhoon ‘Yolanda’, and representatives of various faiths: Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, Police Superintendent Imam Ebra Moxsir of the Imam Council of the Philippines, Commissioner Zenaida Pawid of the National Commission of Indigenous Peoples, Isaias Samson of Iglesia ni Cristo, and a representative of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches.”

“Also invited to join the prayer at the Malacañang Palace grounds are leaders and members of Congress, government officials, and representatives of civil society and various faith groups,” Coloma added. - PNA
