“I thank God for giving me a friend, Jack Ma, that He used as an instrument to bless the Philippines.”
The boxing champion then thanked his fellow Filipinos for cooperating with the measurements that the government is implementing.
“To all my fellow Filipinos, thank you for your trust in us, the government. And most importantly, thank you for cooperating.”
God’s promise
Lastly, he reminded everyone of God’s promise and that God is still in control despite this seemingly overwhelming situation.
“Let us just trust God who guides us in every way. The Bible says, ‘in this world, you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world.’ We are not fighting against flesh but against the darkness. God is in control.”
