MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday urged Filipino Muslims to be "agents of change" as the country celebrates Eid'l Fitr or the end of Ramadan.
"As you celebrate the Breaking of the Fast, may the clarity of thought and wisdom that you have attained from this undertaking inspire you to be the living examples of what is best in the Islamic faith," said Duterte, the first president from Mindanao, which is home to the country's Muslim minority.
