PGMA's Remarks during the 2002 Chinese New Year Celebration of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Incorporated (FCCCII)

Main Theater, Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Roxas Blvd, Pasay City (12 Feb 2002)

LAST NIGHT AS MANY OF YOU WERE EITHER IN THE STREETS OF BINONDO OR IN YOUR
NEW YEARS PARTIES OR IN THE TEMPLE, I WAS WATCHING TELEVISION WATCHING THE
MANY EVENTS RELATED TO THE COMING OF THE CHINESE NEW YEAR, AND I WAS
LISTENING TO THE ANALYSIS AND THE GEOMANCERS AND I HEARD SEVERAL OF THEM
SAY THAT THE YEAR OF THE WATER HORSE IS GOOD FOR SOME BAD FOR SOME BUT IT
IS BEST FOR THOSE WHO WERE BORN DURING THE YEAR OF THE PIG. AND I WAS BORN
IN THE YEAR OF THE PIG.

SO ON THIS OCCASION I THANK YOU, I THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO BE PART OF
YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELEBRATION TONIGHT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CULTURE OF THE
FILIPINO-CHINESE. I THANK YOU ALSO FOR WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING FOR OUR
MANIANS. AND I THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY HORSE THAT YOU GAVE TONIGHT.

AND I ASK YOU TO HELP ME INDEED, BEING AS YOUR PRESIDENT, LUCKY DURING THIS
YEAR. AND I ASK YOU TO HELP ME MAKE WHATEVER GOOD LUCK I HAVE FROM THE
YEAR OF THE HORSE SPREAD OUT TO YOU AND TO THE REST OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!
