Today is the start of Ramadan in the Philippines and in many countries around the world. The Blessed Month of Ramadan is one of the most special months for Muslims as this is when they observe one of the five pillars of Islam. For 29 to 30 days, our Muslim brothers and sisters will perform the Sawm, or fasting, from dusk until dawn and will abstain from eating, drinking and having sexual contact with their spouse.
