00:08The details in the news of JM Pineda live.
00:18Audrey, our Muslim brothers gathered today
00:22in different parts of the Philippines to celebrate Eid al-Fitr or the end of Ramadan.
00:31After a few days of moon sightings in the Philippines,
00:33the full moon appeared again in the month of La Union.
00:36This is a sign of the beginning of the new lunar month of Shawwal for our Muslim brothers.
00:41They did almost a month of waiting and sacrifice while celebrating Ramadan
00:46that started on March 2.
00:48This is a great achievement for Muslims because it is also a symbol of their gratitude to their God, Allah.
00:54Every Muslim community in the world has different days to celebrate
00:58Eid al-Fitr because it depends on their moon sightings.
01:02Today, there are prayers that our Muslim brothers are performing
01:06here at the Kilino Grandstand where it started at 6 a.m.
01:10The Institute of Islamic Studies of the University of the Philippines
01:14also organized a prayer at the house of the alumni at UP Diliman Campus.
01:19There was also a prayer at the Quezon Memorial Circle
01:23which was also attended by our many Muslim brothers.
01:29Audrey, according to the Manila Police District or MPD,
01:32there are already 10,000 people at the Kilino Grandstand
01:36and it is expected that there will be more in the next few hours.
01:41When we saw the situation there,
01:43there were policemen with their security in the area.
01:49That is the latest here in Manila.
01:51Back to you, Audrey.
