Christmas is a most appropriate time to count our blessings. The other time we do this is when we celebrate our birthday.
Truth to tell, we should count our blessings every day—no matter the horrendous traffic that wastes so many hours, receding hairlines and the consequences of climate change.
Still, the birthday of our Lord Jesus makes us extra grateful for the life that we live and the blessings that we continue to receive. For me, personally, I had my 80th birthday in 2015, and I felt so loved by my family and my closest friends, and by the dearest of my fellow employees in the Lopez Group—those with whom I work day to day.
I consider it such a privilege to be part of the Group, because I can see the Lopez Values alive in the work that each of us does.
Looking forward to 2016, I expect all of us will do our civic duty to vote in the coming elections. I will not tell you for whom to vote. But you must vote. I expect ABS-CBN to lead in voter education and to mobilize citizen journalists to protect the will of the people. I expect our energy companies to provide reliable electricity to the different distribution utilities that will supply power to the different election precincts. Meanwhile, let us celebrate the season in the company of all those who matter in our life.
Maligayang Pasko at masaganang bagong taon sa lahat.
