The Pampanga 2nd district Representative said that people should recall how the Christ Child “brought together kings and shepherds in a rare display of unity to pay homage to the Savior” as the Christian world celebrates Christmas once again.
“As we face our many concerns, may we never lose sight of the lessons of Christmas – to unite for common causes and shared aspirations; to hope and have faith in the Divine Being and in our leaders; and, above all, to ‘love one another’ as the Holy Bible advises us,” she said.
Earlier this year, Arroyo defended the House measure proposing the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund called “Maharlika Wealth Fund”.
At that time, she said in a statement that the success of any fund, sovereign or private, “lies in the quality of its management”. She also said that the Maharlika Wealth Fund would have an established mechanism for future contributions and would also benefit from a centralized, specialized, and accountable management.
