For Christians, no day is as glorious and as joyous as the day on which we commemorate the nativity of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
From early childhood, we are struck by the sentiments of unfathomable mystery, simple and yet
sublime, which stir us the evocation of the birth of the Divine Child. Then, what does Christmas tell us? It simply conveys that the more we advance on the path of life, the more we shall realize our respective roles. It reminds us that in hardships we often find strength and wisdom; that in adversity new friendships can be formed; and
in crisis the communities can break down barriers and bind together. Despite the political unrest and looming threats of internal security, I know that deep inside all we want is peace. So today, it won’t be about rewriting history but about celebrating the essence of Christmas. Today, we will quit whining and start taking action. Today, we will start picking
up and reforming the broken pieces. In this regard, we shall look at the future with sense of camaraderie and mutual respect. May our devotion to our country, our love of freedom, our inheritance of courage and strength are of greater avails as God upholds us. Merry Christmas to all of us! Mabuhay po tayong lahat!( PCSUPT

(PSUPT Martin Gamba, Editor in Chief) God sent into this world a unique person –not just a mere sage but a great Saviour with the power to forgive. Forgiveness heals broken families, restores friendships and reconciles divided communities. It is in forgiveness that we feel the power of God's love . In a month of colored lights and glowing candles, we should be burning brighter than ever as His lights to this world. To the people we serve, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! (PO1 Ryan C.

(PO2 Anthony S. Echin, writer) At this special time of year, we give thanks for Christ's message of love and hope. Christmas reminds us that we have a duty to others and we see that sense of duty fulfilled in our service for this country. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all! (PO3 Zena Menioria-Panaligan, writer) As we commemorate the birth of our Jesus Christ, let us be humble in spirit but strong in our conviction of what is right; steadfast to endure sacrifice, and brave to achieve a victory of peace. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! (PO3 Darlin Cabalinan-Migullas, writer) As we celebrate this meaningful occasion, let us internalize we are all passengers on the same boat. No one can achieve true development and prosperity in isolation, or secure durable peace and stability on one’s own. Our only choice is to confront challenges together and pursue mutual benefit. May we receive the blessing of lasting unity this yuletide season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! (PO1 Ruth Kahrreen Aranton-Pontillo, Photographer)
