Caloocan
Bishop Emeritus Deogracias Iñiguez encourages the Filipinos to support and
cooperate with the government in order for us to achieve development and peace.
Despite not specifying anything, the bishop says that we should do our best to
join in the government’s efforts to help the country.
Apart from
the bishop, the chairman of the ecumenical bishops’ forum encourages the Catholics
to continuously pray for guidance to come upon President Duterte during his
administration.
This comes
after the President’s many remarks against the Catholic Church and the bishops
which lead it. Currently, bishop David cares for the victims of illegal drugs
through their church based drug rehabilitation program.
This program
also includes the church caring for children and other families who have been
orphaned or left behind by the victims of the extrajudicial killing which have
been happening allegedly due to the government’s drug war.
According to
the human rights group, there have now been 20,000 deaths because of this.
