About the project

The Preparation for the Visit of Pope Francis was announced on July 28, 2014. The
tri-media coverage was on all local television networks, national newspapers and
radio stations to cover it the event. It was the once of a lifetime event to celebrate the
Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic
renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide on its annual
anniversary celebration in October since 1979 and the 20th anniversary of the song
Tell the World of His Love composed by Trina Belamide released in January 1994.
It was the theme song of Tenth World Youth Day 1995 Manila, held last January 12
to 15, 1995.
World Youth Day is a worldwide religious gathering of youth presided by a
Pope. Every World Youth Day has had its own theme song. Tell The World of
2

His Love is the theme song of the 1995 World Youth Day which was held in
the Philippines.
In January 1994, a nationwide song-writing contest for the theme song of
World Youth Day 1995 was launched in the Philippines. The entry Tell the
World of His Love was chosen.
The song was composed by Trina Belamide whose real name is Katrina Marie
Concepcion Ruiz Belamide. Prior to the contest, she has already been writing
songs for different Filipino artists for three years.
In an interview, Ms. Belamide was asked how she came out with the beautiful
lyrics and the melody of the song. Ms. Belamide explained, "I started the song
with the title, Tell the World of His Love, and I built it from there. Actually, I
didn't have a rough time writing the lyrics. I had a rough time with the melody.
I had a clear vision of what I really wanted. I wanted the people to sway with
the music. And I pictured them with a lighter in their hands as they sang it. I
wanted a melody that could easily get the "feel" of the youth.
As a Filipino, I'm so proud of this song. It was played at St. Peter's Square on
the day of Pope John Paul II's beatification. It was reportedly one of the late
Pope's favorite songs.
The project: The Pope in Manila 2014 was formally planned in November
2013 after the installation of Pope Francis on March 13, 2013 in Vatican. The
date of the visit of the Pope from October 23 to 27, 2014 in Manila and again,
January 15 to 19, 2015 for the Twentieth Anniversary of World Youth Day
Manila held last January 12 to 15, 1995.
The month-long Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Anniversary Festival opens
on October 1 at the Rizal Park and ends on November 15, 2014.
About the Philippines
History
The Philippines is the third largest English-speaking country in the world. It has
a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to
Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading
with the Chinese and the Japanese. The Spaniards brought Christianity to the
Philippines and brought together scattered barangays (villages) under one
rule. Spains colonization brought about the construction of Intramuros in
1571, a Walled City composed of European buildings and churches,
replicated in different parts of the archipelago. Missionaries built schools and
charitable institutions and instructed Filipinos on the Catholic faith. In 1898,
after three centuries of Spanish rule, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal,
Andres Bonifacio, and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their
independence, albeit briefly.
Following war between Spain and the United States, the Philippines became
a US colony in 1898. The Philippine-American War ensued, and ended with
the capture of Aguinaldo in 1901. The US brought public education to the
islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particularly
3

at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor that delayed Japanese
advance and saved Australia. They then waged a guerilla war against the
Japanese from 1941 to 1945. The Philippines regained its independence in
1946.
Filipinos are a freedom-loving people, having waged two peaceful, bloodless
revolutions against what were perceived as corrupt regimes. The Philippines is
a vibrant democracy, as evidenced by 10 English national newspapers, 7
national television stations, hundreds of cable TV stations, and 2,000 radio
stations.
Filipinos are a fun-loving people. Throughout the islands, there
are fiestas (primarily religious feasts) celebrated everyday and foreign guests
are always welcome to their homes.
People and Religion
The Filipino is basically of Malay stock with a sprinkling of Chinese, American,
Spanish, and Arab blood. The Philippines has a population of 92.3 million as of
the May 2010 census, and it is hard to distinguish accurately the lines between
stocks. From a long history of Western colonial rule, interspersed with the visits
of merchants and traders, evolved a people of a unique blend of east and
west, both in appearance and culture.
The Filipino character is actually a little bit of all the cultures put together.
The bayanihanor spirit of kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for
is said to be taken from Malay forefathers. The close family relations are said
to have been inherited from the Chinese. The piousness comes from the
Spaniards who introduced Christianity in the 16th century. Hospitality is a
common denominator in the Filipino character and this is what distinguishes
the Filipino. Filipinos are probably one of the few, if not the only, Englishproficient Oriental people today. Filipino is the official national language, with
English considered as the countrys unofficial one.
The Filipinos are divided geographically and culturally into regions, and each
regional group is recognizable by distinct traits and dialects the sturdy and
frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs of the central plains, the
carefree Visayans from the central islands, and the colorful tribesmen and
religious Moslems of Mindanao. Tribal communities can be found scattered
across the archipelago. The Philippines has more than 111 dialects spoken,
owing to the subdivisions of these basic regional and cultural groups.
The country is marked by a true blend of cultures; truly in the Philippines, East
meets West. The background of the people is Indonesian and Malay. There
are Chinese and Spanish elements as well. The history of American rule and
contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of East
and West, both in the appearance and culture of the Filipinos, or people of
the Philippines.
Hospitality, a trait displayed by every Filipino, makes these people legendary
in Southeast Asia. Seldom can you find such hospitable people who enjoy the
company of their Western visitors. Perhaps due to their long association with
Spain, Filipinos are emotional and passionate about life in a way that seems
more Latin than Asian.
The Spaniards introduced Christianity (the Roman Catholic faith) and
succeeded in converting the overwhelming majority of Filipinos. At least 83%
of the total population belongs to the Roman Catholic faith.

The American occupation was responsible for teaching the Filipino people
the English language. The Philippines is currently the third largest Englishspeaking country in the world.
Historically, the Filipinos have embraced Islam and Christianity. Islam was
introduced during the 14th century shortly after the expansion of Arab
commercial ventures in Southeast Asia.
Christianity was introduced as early as the 16th century with the coming of
Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Protestantism was introduced by the first
Presbyterian and Methodist missionaries who arrived with the American
soldiers in 1899.
Climate
The first half of the year, from January to May, is the best time to visit the
country. November to February is cool, while March to May is hot and dry.
June to October is rainy, with the months between July and September
characterized by typhoons. Average temperature is 78 degrees F/25 degrees
C; average humidity is 77%. Some parts of the country such as Cebu, are
warm and comfortable in all seasons and can be visited throughout the year.

There are two official languages Filipino and English. Filipino, which is based
on Tagalog, is the national language. English is also widely used and is the
medium of instruction in higher education. Eight (8) major dialects are spoken
by majority of the Filipinos: Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon or Ilonggo,
Bicol, Waray, Pampango, and Pangasinense. Filipino is the native language
which is used nationally as the language of communication among ethnic
groups. Like any living language, Filipino is in a process of development
through loans from Philippine languages and non-native languages for
various situations, among speakers of different social backgrounds, and for
topics for conversation and scholarly discourse. There are about 76 to 78
major language groups, with more than 500 dialects.

Traveling By Land
Moving around the country by land is easy with national highways
connecting the major islands and an extensive public transportation system,
which includes the exotic Philippine jeepney. Trains, taxis, buses, jeepneys,
and trikes are the main modes of public transportation. The calesa, a more
elegant means of traveling in most major cities, is more commonly offered as
a fun ride in many public parks across the country.
A land railway system is operated by the Philippine National Railways in Luzon.
Within Metro Manila, the Light Railway Transit (LRT), which stretches from
Caloocan to Baclaran, provides a fast alternative from the regular jeepney.
LRT 2 traverses five cities in Metro Manila namely Pasig, Marikina, Quezon City,
San Juan and Manila along the major thoroughfares of Marcos Highway,
Aurora Boulevard, Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard, Legarda, and Recto
9

Avenue. The Metro Railway Transit (MRT) traverses the length of EDSA and
connects North Avenue in Quezon City to Taft Avenue in Pasay City, passing
through the major arteries of Makatis financial district.
Taxis provide the best means of transportation around the city, with a flagdown fare of PhP40 on the meter. An extra PhP3.50 will be added for every
300 meters. For the steel-hearted, buses also tread the roads. A vast majority
of city buses travel via Epifanio de los Santo Avenue (EDSA) while provincial
bus lines have put up various terminals all across the country. The best means
of short distance travel is the trike: the motorized version is called a tricycle,
and the pedal-powered one is called a pedicab. Trike terminals are often
found near a palengke or marketplace.
The undisputed King of the Philippine Roads is the jeepney. Since it first
emerged after the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, it has become a
fixture in roads all over the country so much so that it is now considered a
symbol of national pride. Jeepneys are adorned with colorful designs that
distinguish them from one another, with themes ranging from the serious to
the outright silly, but all uniquely Filipino.

Halo-Halo literally means, mix-mix. And its is just that: a mixture of
sweetened fruits and beans, lavished with pinipig (crisp flattened rice flakes),
sugar and milk, topped by crushed ice and ice cream. You know its
summertime when halo-halo stand start sprouting by the roadside and by the
beach, all whipping up their heavenly concoctions of such a refreshingly
divine dessert. You can make your own by selecting and mixing your
ingredients to make a perfect Halo-Halo. Halo-Halo is uniquely, unforgettably
Filipino!
The kalesa or karitela is a horse-driven carriage that was introduced during
the 18th century. It was used by Spanish officials and the nobles as a means
of transportation. The Ilustrados, the rich Filipinos who had their own
businesses, used the kalesa not only for traveling but as a means a means of
transporting their goods as well.
The bakya, made primarily of lightwood (laniti and santol trees), is slipper
sculpted with a slope and shaved to a smooth finish, then painted with floral
designs or varnished to a high sheen. The upper portions, which are made of
rubber or transparent plastic, are fastened to the sides by thumb nails called
clavitos. The bakya industry prospered during the 1930s when the Filipinos
began exporting these to the other countries.
Sorbetes: This sweet treat was concocted in the early 1920s, a time where a
single centavo could buy you almost anything. The process of this ice cream
making and selling it in carts with colorful designs is still the same. Back in the
old days, these ice cream dealers bred their own cows and milked them with
their own hands to ensure the freshness and sanitation of the milk needed to
make the dirty ice cream.
Waling-Waling Orchids: With some 800 to 1,000 species of orchids, the
Philippines has one of the richest orchid floras in the world. Philippine orchids
come in an amazing array of shapes, sizes and colors. Most grow only in old-

growth forest, often on branches of huge trees dozens of meters above the
forest floor.
In the Philippines, Filipinos were introduced to the English language in 1762

The Philippines is home to some of the worlds most exotic birds. One of the
most endangered species is the exotic Kalangay or the Philippine cockatoo
(Cacatuahaematuropygia), which belongs to Psittacidae or the family of
parrots. Some cockatoos can live up to 50 years. They are known for
mimicking human voices. Most of them measure 33 centimeters in length and
weigh 0.29 kilogram.
Palawan bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat. Known in Southeast Asia as
binturong, the bearcat is a species of its own, with population in the forests of
Palawan, Borneo, Burma and Vietnam. It belongs to the family of Viverridae
(civets). The Palawan bearcat has a long body and a pointed face leading
to the nose. Its head and body measure 61 to 96 centimeters in combined
length while its tail is almost as long. It weighs 9 to 14 kilograms and lives up to
20 years.
Calamian Deer Calamian Islands, north of Palawan province, keep a
species of deer that cannot be found elsewhere. Scientists referred to the hog
deer in the islands as Calamian deer in order to distinguish them from other
hog deer in the world. An ordinary Calamian deer measures 105 to 115
centimeters in length and 60 to 65 centimeters high at the shoulder and
weighs about 36 to 50 kilograms. It is said to have longer and darker legs,
compared with other hog deer.
Flying Lemur One of the most distinct creatures on Earth lives in the
Philippines. It doesnt have wings but it can glide across 100 meters of space
in a single leap. Like the lemurs of Asia, it moves around at night. Its head

resembles that of a dog while its body has similarities with the flying squirrel of
Canada. In Mindanao, people call it kagwang. Around the world, it is
known as colugo or the flying lemur.

About the Theme of the Apostolic Visit: Mercy and Compassion
The Apostolic Visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines from October 23-27, 2014 and
January 15 19, 2015 will have for its theme Mercy and Compassion.
Pope Francis will visit the Philippines primarily to comfort Filipinos devastated by the
typhoon and the earthquake that hit the Visayas in October and November 2013 and
again that hit Luzon in July to September 2014.
This visit calls to mind what Jesus did as recounted in the Gospel. In Matthew
9:36, Jesus after seeing the people, felt compassion for them, because they were
distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.
And like the Good Shepherd of Whom he is the Vicar here on earth, the Holy Father
saw the suffering of his flock. He felt compassion and comes to us bringing the joy
of the gospel to revive our drooping spirit and to lead us to greener pastures
(cf. Psalm 23).
The message the Holy Father brings with him challenges us to imitate Christ, the
Good Shepherd, who is Mercy and Compassion.
In his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis proclaims that the
Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed,
loved, forgiven and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel (Evangelii
Gaudium 114). Thus, the Holy Fathers visit is to bring Christs compassion for our
suffering people still struggling to rise from the devastations wrought by the
earthquake on October 16 and the typhoon that hit the Visayas on November 8 last
year and the typhoon Glenda in July, Luis and recent tropical storm Mario and
monsoon rains that hit the Metro Manila and Luzon on September 19 this year.
15

Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines president and
Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said the most distinctive way to
prepare spiritually for the coming of Pope Francis is for the country to become a
people rich in mercy.
Our compassionate shepherd comes to show his deep concern for our people who
have gone through devastating calamities, especially in the Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao. He comes to confirm us in our faith as we face the challenges of
witnessing the Joy of the Gospel in the midst of our trials. This is an eloquent way of
showing mercy and compassion, Archbishop Villegas said.
Filipinos as a preparation for the papal visit resolve to make an act of mercy everyday,
such as giving food to the hungry, helping build homes for the disaster victims,
visiting prisoners or patients in the charity ward of hospitals, drug rehabilitation
centers, homes for the elderly, and orphanages. It is a time to re-learn and live the
Spiritual and Corporal Acts of Mercy. Further, the bishops encourage us to meet
Christ, Mercy Himself, in the Tribunal of Mercy, the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. There, in the person of the priest, He awaits us with open arms to
show us His mercy, compassion and love.
Let us make mercy our national identity. Trust in Gods mercy is part and parcel of
our traditional Filipino Christian culture. Let us make the practice of mercy our gift to
the pope when he comes to visit us, the CBCP president said at that time.
The Logo
COLORS.
The colors of the logo (blue, red, and yellow) are the colors of the Philippine flag. The
colors therefore represent the country and its people. It is in solidarity with the victims
of recent calamities from October 2013 to September 2014 that the Pope is coming to
the Philippines.
CIRCLES.
The innermost circle resembles a pearl, and again it symbolizes the Philippines, which
is known as the pearl of the orient seas. The white Cross symbolizes the Christian
faith, and our fervent prayer that the center of our country be our Lord Jesus Christ. It
serves as a reminder as well that more than a State Visit, the primary objective of the
Papal visit is a religious one. He comes to show and share the Lords mercy and
compassion with the Filipino people.
The red circle symbolizes Mercy, one of the themes of the Papal visit. Red is the
color of blood and recalls the sacrifice of our Lord on the cross for our salvation, a
holy sacrifice that manifests and exemplifies Divine Mercy for sinful humanity.
The blue circle means Compassion, the other theme of the Papal visit. Blue is the
color of divine presence it is the color of the sky and the sea that surround our life,
much like Gods presence, that is, Gods compassionate love that permeates and
sustains human existence.
The sequence of the colors follows the order of the colors of the Philippine flag:
Yellow (cable number 80068) at the center, blue (cable number 80173) on top, and
red (cable number 80108) at the bottom.
16
The red and blue circles appear like arms embracing the yellow circle. These are
the merciful and compassionate arms of the Pope, the Vicar of Christ, embracing the
Philippines, the pearl of the orient seas. The current Pope is well known for
expressing his love and care for people by spontaneously hugging and kissing them.
The red and blue circles or arms therefore symbolize the Popes Merciful and
Compassionate Embrace, and by extension, Christs loving embrace. The Pope now
comes to the Philippines to embrace us with his arms of love.
Finally the blue and red circles appear like ripples, or waves emanating from the
inner circle, from the Cross. We pray that the Papal visit will indeed create ripples
of compassion and mercy throughout the Filipino nation and beyond October 2014
and January 2015.
The Theme Song
History of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
n 1973, Eddie Villanueva (also known as Bro. Eddie or Bishop Eddie), then an
Economics and Finance professor in the Polytechnic University of the Philippines,
began preaching the Gospel to his students and colleagues.
On August 26, 1978 at 6:24 p.m. local time (4:24 p.m. UTC), the first signs of
smokewhose color signifies the success or failure of an electionfrom the chimney
of the Sistine Chapel appeared. However, it was unclear which color the smoke was
for over an hour; some of the cardinals had personally deposited their notes and tally
sheets in the stove, causing black smoke after white had already appeared. Pericle
Felici, as the ranking Cardinal Deacon, then stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter's
Basilica and delivered the Habemus Papam announcement in Latin, declaring
Luciani's election. Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam!
Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum Albinum Sanct Roman
Ecclesi Cardinalem Luciani, qui sibi nomen imposuit Ioannis Pauli Primi
John Paul I was found dead sitting up in his bed shortly before dawn on September
28, 1978, just a mere 33 days into his papacy. The Vatican reported that the 65-yearold pope most likely died the previous night of a heart attack.
John Paul I's funeral was held in Saint Peter's Square on October 4, 1978, celebrated
by Cardinal Carlo Confalonieri. In his eulogy of the late pope, he described him as a
flashing comet that briefly lit up the church. He was then laid to rest in the Vatican
grottoes.
On October 5, 1978, Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva invited his listeners for a Thanksgiving
Holy Mass and Worship and Healing Prayer Rally that was held at the Polytechnic
University of the Philippines Santa Mesa Campus on the Thursday nearest his
birthday, Friday, October 6. About one thousand people attended the affair and
experienced the miracle-working power of God!
Encouraged by the success of the rally, Bro. Eddie scheduled a monthly Roman Rite
Holy Mass and Worship and Healing Prayer Rally at the DWRV Compound in
Quezon City. Some time later, as more people came to be led back to the Lord Jesus
Christ, the rally was held weekly. A monthly Catholic Life-in-the-Spirit Seminar
17

(CLSS) and a weekly fellowship were also held at the 22nd Floor, Strata 2000
Building, F. Ortigas Jr. Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig, Metro Manila.
After a while, Bro. Eddie decided to air his program three times a week and began
thinking of a new title and theme song for it. At this time, a friend gave him a
magazine entitled Jesus is Lord, which quickly aroused his interest.
He made a study of the meaning of the term and discovered that it was one of the
seven Covenant Names, by which God the Father revealed Himself to Israel.
Jesus is Lord, the motto of the World Council of Churches. The most popular and
briefest was "Jesus is Lord" found in 1 Corinthians 12:3; Romans 10:9 and probably
in the baptisms referred to in Acts 8:16; 19:5 and 1 Cor 6:11 since their being
described as "in the name of the Lord Jesus" certainly seems to imply that "the
formula 'Jesus is Lord' had a place in the rite". The phrase might be extended as
"Jesus Christ is Lord" as in Philippians 2:11. Shortly, he heard the song "Jesus is
Lord" over Radio DWRV 860 itself:
"Jesus is Lord" by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
Jesus is Lord
The cry that echoes through creation
Resplendent pow'r eternal Word our Rock
The Son of God
The King whose glory fills the heavens
Yet bids us come to taste this living bread
Jesus is Lord
Whose voice sustains the stars and planets
Yet in His wisdom laid aside His crown
Jesus the man who washed our feet
Who bore our suffering
Became a curse to bring salvation's plan
Jesus is Lord
The tomb is gloriously empty
Not even death could crush this King of love
The price is paid the chains are loosed
And we're forgiven
And we can run into the arms of God
Jesus is Lord,a shout of joy a cry of anguish
As He returns and every knee bows low then every eye and every heart will see His
glory the judge of all will take His children home.
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the weekly fellowship came to be called
the DWRV Prayer Partners Jesus the Healer, since Radio DWRV was the broadcast
medium, he and his first listeners became prayer-partners, and Jesus is Lord was the
Divine Name revealed to him by God. Every week, God added thousands of new
prayer-partners to this community by means of the Good News aired over the radio
DWRV and the Mass and Healing Rallies held all over Metro Manila and nearby
provinces. As the community grew, they voluntarily gave their tithes and miracleseed-of-faith offerings to support the radio program "Jesus the Healer" and the Roman
18

Rite Holy Mass and Worship and Healing Prayer Rallies. Some prayer-partners even
volunteered to serve without compensation.
Inspired by the outcome of events, Bro. Eddie thought it was time to formally
organize the community. Thus, the Jesus is Lord Fellowship, Inc. was established,
which in due time was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It
was organized, primarily, as an institution where Bro. Eddie could channel his tithes
and donations derived from his real estate business and other companies to support
the religious activities of various Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious
groups and some projects of charitable organizations. These however were not enough
to support the expenses of the newly-founded Catholic charismatic renewal religious
community, especially the radio programs of DWRV Radio Veritas 860 kHz and
the Roman Rite Holy Mass and Worship and Healing Prayer Rallies. And so, he had
to continue shelling out funds from his own personal earnings. For him, though, it was
a great enough blessing from Jesus is Lord that his radio listeners came to know Jesus
Christ as Lord and Saviour and was receiving answers to their prayer-requests.

Zimbabwe. These were formed by Filipino and foreign prayer-partners working
abroad, who were motivated by the desire to bear witness to the love and goodness of
Jesus Christ our Lord. With the emergence of the religious chapters abroad, the
19

corporate name registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
Philippine Department of Finance was amended to Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide,
Incorporated.
It was the second religious organization was formed by Villanueva after Jesus Miracle
Crusade International Ministry (JMCIM) founded by Pastor Wilde Almeda on
February 14, 1975, two years, five months after President Ferdinand E. Marcos
declared Martial Law on September 21, 1972.
Later in 1993, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) realized
that the growth of the Foundation, particularly since it was affecting Catholics, could
not be taken for granted any longer.
Most Rev. Teodoro C. Bacani Jr., DD, then-Auxiliary Bishop of Manila and Overall
Spiritual Director of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement (CCRM) in the
Archdiocese of Manila, invited Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry spiritual
director Pastor Wilde Almeda, El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation
International Founder and Servant-Leader Bro. Mike Z. Velarde and Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual director Bro. Eddie
C. Villanueva to the CBCP Conference on January 24, 1993, to shed light on what
was going on in the Foundation. On that occasion, Bishop Bacani was beside Pastor
Wilde, Bro. Mike and Bro. Eddie, not to defend him, but to bear witness to what God
was doing through the Foundation. The result of the meeting was satisfactory because
most of the questions asked were clearly and humbly answered by Bro. Eddie.
At 6:18 p.m. local time (17:18 UTC), the white smoke rose from the chimney of the
Sistine Chapel, meaning that a new pope had been elected. As the senior Cardinal
Deacon, a visibly excited Pericle Felici gave the traditional Latin announcement for
Wojtya's election on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. Annuntio vobis gaudium
magnum: Habemus papam! Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum dominum,
dominum Carolum, sanct roman Ecclesi cardinalem, Wojtya, qui sibi nomen
imposuit Ioannis Pauli. (I announce to you a great joy: We have a pope! The most
eminent and most reverend Lord, the Lord Charles of the Holy Roman Church,
Cardinal Wojtyla, who took the name of John Paul.)
John Paul II appeared on the balcony at 7:15, and while gripping the balustrade, broke
precedent by delivering a brief speech before his first Urbi et Orbi blessing in Italian:
Praised be Jesus Christ! Dear brothers and sisters, we are still all very saddened by
the death of the very dear Pope John Paul I. And now the most eminent cardinals have
called a new bishop of Rome. They called him from a far-away country far, but
always near in the communion of faith and the Christian tradition. I was afraid in
receiving this nomination, but I did it in the spirit of obedience to Our Lord and with
total trust in his Mother, the Most Holy Madonna. I don't know if I can express myself
well in your in our Italian language. But if I make a mistake, you will correct me.
And so I introduce myself to you all, to confess our common faith, our hope, our trust
in the Mother of Christ and of the Church, and also to begin again on this path of
history and of the Church with the help of God and with that of men.
On October 13 to 14, 1979, during its First Founding Anniversary Celebration of
Jesus is Lord Fellowship at the DWRV Compound in Municipality of Pasig, Metro
Manila one year after the founding of Jesus is Lord Fellowship on October 5, 1978,
about five thousand people witnessed and experienced the miracle touch of Jesus is
Lord.
20

Some eight thousand people gathered together on the Second Founding Anniversary
Thanksgiving Celebration of the Jesus is Lord Fellowship at the Philippine
International Convention Center (PICC) at Vicente Sotto Street, Cultural Center of the
Philippines Complex, Pasay City, Metro Manila on October 12, 1980. Even the
seemingly indifferent PICC staffs were surprised because the affair lasted one whole
day and it was the first time that its Reception and Plenary Halls were filled to
capacity.
Martial Law would officially end on January 17, 1981 with Proclamation No. 2045.
President Marcos, however, reserved decree-making powers for himself.
Ahead of the Popes visit on February 17, 1981, then President Ferdinand Marcos
declared that he had lifted martial law.
On this visit, Pope John Paul IIs first agenda was to celebrate Mass at Manila
Cathedral, after which he expressed to Cardinal Sin his wish for Manila Cathedral to
become a basilica.
The Pope next visited the Our Lady of Perpetual Help church in Baclaran where he
met with religious women, and the archbishops residence, Villa San Miguel, where
he met with the Philippine Episcopate and Asian bishops.
The following day, the Pope delivered a message at Araneta Coliseum in Quezon
City. He next addressed the Filipino youth at the University of Santo Tomas (UST),
telling them that [t]he Church is not frightened at the intensity of your feeling. It is a
sign of vitality. It indicates pent-up energy, which of itself is neither good nor bad, but
can be used for good causes or for bad.
The Pope also addressed the poor in Tondo and later proceeded to Manilas Rizal
Park where he beatified Lorenzo Ruiz and other martyrs who were persecuted in
Japan in the 17th century. It was the first beatification outside of Rome in history.
The Chinese Catholic communities in Asia and later, the Diplomatic Corps, had an
audience with the Pope as well.
On Feb. 19, 1981, the Pope flew to Cebu City, where he met with the priests and
seminarians of the Sacred Heart before celebrating a Mass for families at the old
Lahug airport.
The following day, the Pope celebrated Mass for the community of Davao City before
meeting with representatives of the Muslim community at the Davao airport. On the
same day, he met with landowners and workers of sugarcane plantations in the
reclaimed area of Bacolod City, as well as with representatives of Catholic
organizations in the Cathedral of Jaro in Iloilo province.
On Feb. 21, 1981, the Pope visited a refugee camp in Morong town, Bataan province,
and met with Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian war refugees. He then met with a
group of lepers in Tala at Radio Veritas in Manila. Over Radio Veritas, the Pope
addressed the other Asian nations that have never had a pontifical visit, among them
China, North Korea and Vietnam. His message was a prayer for peace in these
nations quest for prosperity.
The Pope later met with representatives of mass media and of other Christian
churches in the Philippines and with the labor committees in the Apostolic Nunciature
in Manila.
21
Pope John Paul IIs last day in the Philippines on Feb. 22, 1981, began in Baguio City
with a Mass for indigenous tribes after which farewell ceremonies were held at
Manila International Airport.
The Third Anniversary Celebration of the Jesus is Lord Fellowship was celebrated
with an Overnight Roman Rite Holy Mass and Worship and Healing Prayer Rally at
the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium in Vito Cruz, Manila, from October 10 to 11,
1981. It rained heavily throughout the affair, but the estimated two hundred thousand
attendees stayed until it ended in the morning.
The Yellow Revolution started in 1983, religious organizations in the Philippines
were founded.
Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., fondly called Ninoy by those closest and dearest to
him, arrived at the Manila International Airport from Taipei on board CAL Flight CI811, at 1:04 oclock in the afternoon of August 21, 1983. While he ought to have been
met with flowers, laded with leis, and carried over the shoulders of his admirers and
friends as a returning patriot, he was, instead, treacherously and brutally shot at the
back of the head after being fetched by military men from inside the plane and led out
surreptitiously through an aerobridge door and down into a bridge stairs. The
foremost opposition leader, the most malignant thorn at the side of the then ailing
strongman, President Ferdinand E. Marcos, fell dead, his face kissing at last the soil of
his native land.
First World Youth Day instituted by Pope John Paul II celebrated in Rome in 1984.
Celebrated between Rome and a different city in alternating sequence every year.
Indira Gandhi was brought at 9:30 AM to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences
(AIIMS-New Delhi), where doctors operated on her. She was declared dead at 2:20
PM. The postmortem examination was conducted by a team of doctors headed by T.
D. Dogra. He stated that as many as 30 bullets struck Gandhi, from two sources, a
Sten gun and a pistol. The assailants had fired 33 bullets at her, of which 30 had hit;
23 had passed through her body while seven were trapped inside. Dogra extricated
bullets to establish the identity of the weapons and to correlate each weapon with the
bullets recovered by ballistic examination. The bullets were matched with respective
weapons at CFSL Delhi. Subsequently, Dogra appeared in the court of Shri Mahesh
Chandra as an expert witness (PW-5). The testimony lasted several sessions. The
cross examination was conducted by Shri P. N. Lekhi, the defense counsel.
The Jesus is Lord Fellowship joining the nation in the February 22-25, 1986 EDSA
People-Power Revolution led the downfall of Ferdinand E. Marcos and the widow of
former Philippine Senator Benigno Simeon Ninoy Aquino, Maria Corazon Cory

The 10th founding anniversary celebration of Jesus is Lord Fellowship was held on
October 2, 1988 at the Araneta Coliseum, Cubao, Quezon City and attended by H.E.
Corazon C. Aquino, President of the Republic of the Philippines, the guest of honor
for the celebration. She was joined by H.E. Salvador H. Laurel, Vice-President of the
Republic of the Philippines, Mel Lopez, Mayor of the City of Manila, H.E. Brigido
Simon, Mayor of Quezon City and H.E. Jejomar C. Binay, Mayor of the Municpality
of Makati. The Mass concelebrants are: Jaime Cardinal L. Sin, Archbishop of Manila
and Ricardo Cardinal J. Vidal, Archbishop of Cebu.
As early as 9:00 a.m. of October 8, 1989, members and followers of the Jesus is Lord
Fellowship began trooping to the Rizal Memorial Track and Football Stadium in Vito
Cruz Street, Manila to participate in its Eleventh Anniversary Celebration. By
midnight of Monday, October 9, 1989, the entire stadium was jammed with over half
a million people from all over the Philippines to take part in an overnight activity of
praise and worship dedicated to Jesus Christ our Lord, our Savior. Bishop Teodoro C.
Bacani, together with some Roman Catholic priests from the different parishes in the
Archdiocese of Manila, Lipa, Nueva Caceres, Jaro, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Cotabato
and Davao, led the Holy Mass.
From October 13 to 14, 1990, the Twelfth Anniversary of the Jesus is Lord
Fellowship was held at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, Manila. In attendance
were thousands of its members and followers, who experienced the wonderful works
of the Holy Spirit as they praised and worshipped to Jesus and listened to His Word
despite a storm which flooded some parts of the venue with knee-deep water.
The scenario of the Thirteenth Anniversary of the Jesus is Lord Fellowship held at
the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, Manila, from October 12 to 13, 1991, was
identical to that of its 12th Anniversary. Nevertheless, the almost half a million
23

attendees braved the monsoon rains and knee-deep flood to give thanks, praise and
worship to God.
On the occasion of the Fourteenth Anniversary Celebration of the Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide held at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, Manila, from
October 17 to 18, 1992, more than one-and-a-half million prayer-partners attended the
affair. His Excellency, President Fidel V. Ramos, gave his greetings to the
congregation.
For the first time in the history of Rizal Park and the whole of Metro Manila for that
matter, about three million people joined the Fifteenth Anniversary Celebration of the
Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide at the national park from October 8 to 9, 1994. The
participants crowded the 61-hectare national park and adjacent areas-Roxas
Boulevard, Taft Avenue, UN Avenue, T.M. Kalaw St., Port Area, and Jones Bridge.
Some of them came to the venue as early as three days before the event. They came
not only from Metro Manila, but also from Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, the Ilocos
Region, Quezon, the Bicol Region, Sorsogon, Leyte, and other distant provinces. Also
present were members from different overseas chapters of the Foundation.
The Pope visited the Philippines again in January 1995 in time for the 10th World
Youth Day. Some 3 million people lined the streets to welcome John Paul II, who
arrived on Jan. 12, 1995.
The five-day visit was the Popes first overseas trip after he underwent an artificial
bone implant in the leg following a hip injury in April 1994.
On his arrival, the Pope addressed the youth and invited them to [s]ee the world
around you with the eyes of Jesus himself! The Gospel says that when he saw the
crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd.
The following day, the Pontiff met with then President Fidel Ramos at Malacaang
and later celebrated Mass for the 233 delegates of the International Youth Forum at
Central Seminary Chapel of the UST. He also gave a 20-minute speech to some
200,000 cheering students and academicians gathered at UST Grandstand and Parade
Grounds.
I see that it is my great privilege to be here, to be here and discover anew this
phenomenon I knew before, and today I know better, the Pontiff said.
During this visit, Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass to mark the fourth centenary of
the Archdiocese of Manila and the Dioceses of Cebu, Caceres and Nueva Segovia at
the Philippine International Convention Center grounds in Pasay City on January 14,
1995.
In a private meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the
Philippines, the Pope made the strongest comments defending the Catholic ban on
artificial contraceptives. He also condemned the injustice in the country and noted the
increasing gap between rich and poor.
When powerful interests promote policies which are against the moral law inscribed
on the human heart, they offend the dignity of man who is made in the image and
likeness of God, the Pontiff said. In doing so, they undermine the foundations of
society itself.

On Jan. 15, 1995, a Sunday, the Pope arrived at Malacaang Park aboard the
Popemobile from the Apostolic Nunciature on Taft Avenue, but was forced to ride the
presidential helicopter along with Cardinal Sin and Papal Nuncio Gian Vincenzo
Moreni to get to Quirino Grandstand amid the huge crowd on the streets.
At past 10 in the morning, the Pope began the three-and-a-half-hour Mass that marked
the closing of World Youth Day. Attended by 4 million people, it was the biggest
gathering so far in the Pontiffs 16-year reign.
The Mass concelebrants included Sin, Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal,
Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Cardinal Sodano and Eduardo Cardinal Pironio,
head of the Pontifical Council of the Laity.
The following morning, the Pope left Manila for Port Moresby in Papua New
Guinea. In his farewell speech before some 10,000 people at the old Manila
International Airport, the Pontiff said: The Pope feels so well in the Philippines that
he looks at another opportunity perhaps to return.
He added: I take with me a thousand images of the Filipino people.
His Excellency, President Fidel V. Ramos was the guest of honor during the
Eighteenth Annual Anniversary Celebration of the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
(JiLCW) at the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila on October 13, 1996. In line
with the anniversary theme, which is unity, leaders from the different charismatic
groups and religious groups were invited to speak in a CLSS. During the
Thanksgiving Mass officiated by Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, a mass
wedding took place, in which 5000 couples who had been living together as commonlaw spouses finally tied the knot.
During the impeachment trial of President Joseph Estrada on November 13, 2000, El
Shaddai founder Bro. Mike Velarde rejected the call of then-Archbishop of
Manila Jaime Cardinal Sin to join a prayer rally urging Estrada to resign. Velarde said
that El Shaddai members were free to join the rally of their own volition and
reiterated that the movement was neither for against Estrada's resignation.
On January 1, 2001, the 21st century and the new millennium begin. The Church
solemnizes the start of the third Christian millennium by extending into part of the
year 2001 the jubilee year that it observes at 25-year intervals and that, in the case of
the year 2000, it called the Great Jubilee.
At 12:20 p.m. of January 20, 2001, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo takes her oath of office
in the presence of the crowd at EDSA, becoming the 14th president of the Philippines.
At 2:00 pm, Estrada releases a letter saying he had strong and serious doubts about
the legality and constitutionality of her proclamation as president.
On February 2001, Brother Eddie received the EDSA People Power Freedom Award
for ZOE TV 11 for its fair coverage of the People Power II movement. He founded
and owns ZOE Broadcasting Network Inc. and operates Channel 11 on Filipino
television. Bro. Eddie hosts three ZOE programs, Diyos at Bayan, PJM (Philippines
for Jesus Movement) Forum and Jesus the Healer.
If constitutional change is necessary to bring about economic and political reforms
and a strong republic, the people must unite, Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo told a huge
gathering of the Jesus is Lord religious group, which celebrated its 25th anniversary
25
last October 5, 2003 at Rizal Park.

Accompanied by some members of her Cabinet, Mrs. Arroyo heard mass celebrated
by Jaime Cardinal Sin, former archbishop of Manila.
In his homily, Sin prayed that Mrs. Arroyo have the strength to fight off forces
seeking to divide the country. Sin, who has earlier opposed changes in the
Constitution, made no comment.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that
occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the
west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific
community as the SumatraAndaman earthquake.
On 2 April 2005, Pope Saint John Paul II died in his private apartment at 21:37 CEST
(19:37 UTC) of heart failure from profound hypotension and complete circulatory
collapse from septic shock, 46 days short of his 85th birthday and seven months
before the movements 27th anniversary.
The prayer gathering marks the 29th anniversary celebration of the Jesus Is Lord (JIL)
Worldwide Ministry, founded by evangelist Bro. Eddie Villanueva, who celebrated
his 74th birthday on October 6, 2007.
Novaliches Bishop Antonio Tobias is expected to read the message of Ricardo
Cardinal Vidal and that of Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, president of the Catholic
Bishops Conference of the Philippines, who could not attend the event because of
previous commitments.
Villanueva said they will seek Gods grace for the Filipino people during this
occasion.
Only His divine intervention can avert any Myanmar-type of turmoil, he said. We
want to remind our leaders, lets all seek God first so that His grace and blessings will
flow in our nation.
Senators and congressmen are also expected to attend the special prayer gathering for
unity, peace, prosperity, justice and righteousness.
Villanueva stressed the importance of commitment to truth, justice and righteousness
in achieving freedom from the evils of corruption, poverty, injustices and immoral
governance.
These evils bring a curse on nations, he said.
The prayer gathering will be followed by a healing crusade to be led by international
evangelists Dr. Gary Greenwald of the United States-based Eagles Nest Ministries
and Dr. Dexter Low of the Latter Rain Malaysian Church.
Two days after the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season
75 Mens Basketball Tournament Finals between the Ateneo de Manila University
Blue Eagles versus University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers at Smart Araneta
Coliseum on October 11, 2012, at least nine million participants participated in the
34th Anniversary Celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide, with no less than
the President of the Republic of the Philippines, His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino
III as guest-of-honor in the celebration, traversing a crowd from the 58-hectare Rizal
Park to Port Area to the Quiapo church in a celebration that lasted twenty-four hours
from 7:00 a.m. of Sunday, October 14, 2012 to 8:00 a.m. of Monday, October 15,
2012.

Past Papal Visits
Modern popes have made it a point to make the long journey to Catholic Philippines,
bastion of Christianity in Southeast Asia, at least once in their pontificates. The
country has so far been blessed with three papal visits in a span of 25 years. In 1970,
Pope Paul VI (now blessed) came as a missionary pope and visited the slums of
Manila. A decade later, Pope St. John Paul II came to raise the Philippines protomartyr, Lorenzo Ruiz, to the ranks of the Blessed. St. John Paul II returned in 1995
to dialogue with young people, and in the process drew the largest human gathering in
history as he preached the message of Christs saving mission. For Filipinos, papal
visits have been a source of joy, strength, and most importantly, hope.
Blessed Pope Paul VI | November 27-29, 1970: A Missionary Pope Preaches
Christ to the Peoples of Asia
November of 1970 marked not only the first time a Pope visited the Philippines, but,
more importantly, the first time the Vicar of Christ set foot on Southeast Asian soil.
The last international voyage of His Holiness Blessed Pope Paul VI took him to nine
countries and territories including Iran, Samoa, Australia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.
In the Philippines, the Holy Father met the poor people of Manila, appealed for peace
in Vietnam, and spoke to the laity, various communities, university students, and the
episcopate of Asia led by Rufino Cardinal Santos. The Popes busy schedule included
priestly ordinations at Luneta Park and the inauguration of Radio Veritas, the
international Catholic shortwave radio station operated by the Asian Bishops
Federation.
At his welcome reception in Malacaang, Blessed Paul VI underscored the spiritual
nature of his Philippine visit.
The object of our visit to Manila is of the spiritual order; it has an apostolic
character. Great would be our joy if by our visit the Catholic people were made firm
in their faith and in the sincere and coherent expression of it, the Holy Father said.
The entire Asian journey, however, was essentially a missionary one. In his radio
address to the peoples of Asia via Radio Veritas, Paul VI said the mission of bringing
Christ and his Church belongs not only to the clergy, but to the sons and daughters of
the Church across the vast continent. Christ is light and truth and life. And We
proclaim him to you as he appears to our unshakeable faith, the Holy Father
said. We are obedient to his charge, his command: Go, preach to all nations the
good, the happy news, instructing them in my teaching of love and life. This we do,
brothers and sisters, with humble love for you, with deep respect for you and for your
ancient and venerable traditions.
To the poor of Tondo, Manila, the Holy Father said the Church would continue to
work tirelessly for their economic and social liberation as well as defend their Godgiven rights. While the desire to improve the temporal welfare is a lawful one, the
Pope said the poor are also made for a higher good, the Kingdom of Heaven, and are
called to be Christians.
The hectic itinerary and Blessed Paul VIs personal strength hid the fact that the Pope
was wounded in the chest, on the very day of his arrival, by a 13-inch dagger wielded
by an assassin. The attacker, a Bolivian painter dressed in clerical garb, was able to
get close to the Holy Father whose flight had just landed at the Manila International
Airport. The news that spread was that the Pope had escaped an assassination attempt.
29

Paul VI proceeded with his full schedule. That the Pope was wounded was not
revealed until nine years later.
This brief stay in the Philippines has been a very great joy for us. We have lived
through these days surrounded by the affection and the inexhaustible kindness of the
Filipino people, the Holy Father said in his farewell remarks on November 29, 1970.
It has been pur good fortune to experience their spirit of hospitality and the fervor of
their religious faith, and also to catch a glimpse of their dynamism We shall never
forget the country of the Philippines. We shall pray for it.
Pope John Paul II | February 17-22, 1981: The Universal Pastor on a
Pilgrimage to Asia
In 1981, the Philippines was blessed with its second papal visit, this time in the person
of the energetic and charismatic Pope (later Saint) John Paul II. The trip to the
Catholic bastion of the Far East was part of the newly elected Pontiffs first Asian
pilgrimage. The 21,000-mile, 12-day journey took the Pope to Pakistan, the
Philippines, Guam, Japan, and Alaska.
The Philippine leg lasted six days and saw the Holy Father crisscrossing the
archipelago, reinvigorating the faithful who took to heart his apostolic motto of
devotion to the Blessed Mother and the Holy Trinity: Totus Tuus (Totally
Yours). Aside from Manila, St. John Paul II travelled to Cebu, Davao, Bacolod,
Iloilo, Legazpi, Morong, and Baguio. The centerpiece of the visit was the beatification
of Lorenzo Ruiz (later, the first Filipino to become a saint) and his companions who
were martyred in Nagasaki in 1637. It was the first beatification outside Rome.
This is the full meaning of this beatification: to animate all the Christians of the Far
East and to spread the word of the Lord, the Holy Father said in his homily for the
Holy Mass of Beatification on February 18, 1981. In a special way I say this to you
Filipinos, who form the only predominantly Catholic nation in the eastern part of the
continent of Asia.
The Holy Father commemorated the fourth centenary of the See of Manila with the
celebration of the Eucharist at the Manila Cathedral on the first day of his apostolic
visit. The same day, he prayed with the faithful at the Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help in Baclaran, where, in 1973, he offered Mass during a brief stopover when he
was still Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, archbishop of Krakow. Later, St. John Paul II met
Asian bishops at Villa San Miguel and professionals and the working class at Araneta
Coliseum.
On February 18, 1981, the poor people of Tondo welcomed anew a visiting pope.
My dear friends of Tondo, the Holy Father said, are faithful to Christ, and joyfully
embrace his Gospel of salvation. Do not be tempted by ideologies that preach only
material values or purely temporal ideals, which separate political, social and
economic development from the things of the spirit, and in which happiness is sought
apart from Christ. The road towards your total liberation is not the way of violence,
class struggle or hate; it is the way of love, brotherhood and peaceful solidarity.
In Cebu City, St. John Paul II met with priests and seminarians and celebrated the
Eucharist with families in this cradle of Christianity in the Philippines. In Davao, he
met Christians and Muslims. In Bacolod and Legazpi, he spoke about the dignity of
human work before the sacadas and farmers, respectively. He met lepers from the
Tala leprosarium and Vietnamese refugees in Morong. A day before leaving for
Guam, the Holy Father offered the Holy Mass for indigenous tribes in Baguio.
30

The Marcos regime, which had lifted martial law on paper ahead of the Popes arrival,
tried to use the visit to legitimize authoritarian rule. But St. John Paul II stood up to
the dictatorship and admonished national leaders over human rights violations. Even
in exceptional situations that may at times arise, one can never justify any violation of
the fundamental dignity of the human person or of the basic rights that safeguard this
dignity, he said in remarks at Malacaang Palace.
The Holy Father, however, had only words of tribute to the Filipino people, his loving
hosts:
The Philippine nation is deserving of particular honor since, from the beginning of
its Christianization, from the moment that Magellan planted the Cross in Cebu four
hundred and sixty years ago all through the centuries, its people have remained true
to the Christian faith.
Pope John Paul II | January 12-16, 1995: The Pope in Dialogue with Young
People
St. John Paul II returned to Manila in 1995 to be with young people from all corners
of the world in celebration of the 10th World Youth Day. It was another 20,000-mile
pilgrimage to strengthen, in the words of an eminent papal biographer, solidarity
with the worlds most populous and least Christian continent. Little did anyone
expect that the closing Eucharist of the week-long festivities in the metropolis would
produce not just the biggest papal crowd but the largest gathering in human history.
It was in Rizal Park, where the Holy Father reechoed his universal call to holiness and
issued his memorable exhortation on the World Youth Day theme: As the Father sent
me, so am I sending you.
Five million, many of them young people, were in attendance. Christ! Christ! Christ!
I speak without abbreviation, said St. John Paul II in his homily for the solemn
Eucharistic celebration on January 15, 1995. When Christ becomes all of this for
you, the world and the Church will have solid reasons for hope for the future.
Be not afraid! were Christs words that the Polish Pontiff used to preach the
message of hope during the Cold War. At the International Youth Forum in the
Pontifical University of Santo Tomas, the Holy Father used the same words to rally
young people to answer Gods call. Enormous tasks lie before the youth of the
world; especially before the Catholic youth of the Philippines, of Asia and the Far
East, on the eve of the Third Millennium, he said. The largest mission land of the
worldis in need of workers, and the Church constantly prays the Lord of the harvest to
send them, to send us, to send you.
The Holy Father again marked an important milestone in the life of the Philippine
Churchthe quadricentennial of the elevation of the See of Manila to an Archdiocese
and the erection of three suffragans: the Dioceses of Cebu, Nueva Segovia, and
Caceres. The establishment of a Metropolitan Church in the Philippines bore witness
to the fact that the work of the first missionaries had borne abundant fruit In this
part of the world it is the Philippines which enjoys the greatest wealth of ecclesial
life, the Pope said in his homily on January 14, 1995 at the Philippine International
Convention Center.
St. John Paul II took the opportunity to reach out to the rest of Asia, as he had done in
1981, and Pope Paul VI before him in 1970 through the facilities of Radio Veritas,
which celebrated its 25th year in 1995. Of particular concern were Chinese Catholics,
to whom he sent a special message of affection. At San Carlos Seminary, the Holy
Father reminded the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences to foster their
31

mission ad gentes, to make disciples of all nations in a manner that is not an
imposition but rather, one that involves love and respect for those being
evangelized.
I take with me a thousand images of the Filipino people, St. John Paul II said as he
left Manila for Papua New Guinea on January 16, 1995. I know your desire for
greater justice and a better life for yourselves and your children May God help you
to follow the path you have already begun: towards a continuing development that
preserves and promotes the true values of your Filipino culture!

Books are the instruments through which we convey knowledge about the world; they
are the vehicles we employ to travel a multitude of places, real or imagined. They
expand the horizons of our thoughts to stretch the boundaries of our awareness by
increasing the limits of our potential. The wide array of material available in this
international fair will certainly bring forth new perspectives to the Filipino readership,
ensuring that our present resurgence is sustained by a generation of Filipinos who are
empowered and animated by the ideas inspired by these books. I invite all of our
countrymen to take part in this annual event, that we may have a more enlightened
populace as partners in the task of elevating our society to greater heights of
prosperity and development.
Our fight to establish a better, brighter future for the Filipino people begins with our
battle against ignorance, which the worst among us have used to shroud our nation in
darkness and inveigled our citizens to demand less of their leaders. By ensuring that
we are well-informed and by giving ourselves the opportunities to acquire new
knowledge and skills, we raise the level of our collective intelligence and pave a path
towards a mature, vibrant democracy. May we remain committed and united in this
endeavor, to steer our country towards lasting, equitable progress.
May you have a successful event.

His Eminence Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle, Archbishop of Manila
Dear Friends,
The Philippines has been blessed with three previous papal visits: Pope Paul VI in
1970, St. John Paul II in 1981 and 1995. With jubilation we welcome Pope Francis on
October 23 to 27, 2014 and on January 2015. Some might ask, can these visits make a
difference in our individual and societal lives? They can if we allow them! Let me
tell you a story. My story!
I was 13 years old when Pope Paul VI visited the Philippines. With many fellow
students milling around me, I craned my neck and steadied my eyes so I could see
him as his car rushed before us. The serene face and demeanor of the pope impressed
me. The image has not left my mind, as well memories of his visit in Tondo. Eighteen
32

years later, in 1985 I went to the Catholic University of America to pursue graduate
studies in Theology. Due to my interest in Vatican II, my director proposed a track of
studies that I gladly followed. I did my Licentiate thesis on Cardinal Giovanni Battista
Montini (the future Paul VI) and his plan for Vatican II. For my Doctoral dissertation
I studied Episcopal Collegiality in the Thought and Practice of Paul VI. I had not
imagined in 1970 that one day I would travel into the mind, heart and soul of this
great pope who steered the renewal of the Church in the modern world. My studies on
Paul VI and Vatican II led me to many tasks that involved my collaboration with St.
John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and now Pope Francis. The papal visit in
1970 mysteriously opened a door for me to the mystery and mission of the Church.
The pastoral visit of Pope Francis focused on Mercy and Compassion would
certainly offer vast opportunities to experience grace, to hear callings, to disturb
comfort zones, to value the poor, to renew society, to care for creation and to live
honorably. At the end of the visit and at some unknown future, let us share stories of
how the journey of Pope Francis to us has led us to other journeys of faith and
mission.

The Life of Pope Francis/ Jorge Mario Bergoglio

Childhood in a happy Catholic family
Fr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, the capital and largest city
of Argentina, on December 17, 1936. He was baptized by Fr. Enrique Pozzoli,
an Italian Salesian priest who was close to the family. Today, Pope Francis
often speaks of the importance of Baptism and urges the faithful to
remember the date on which they became a Christian.
His father, Mario Jose Francisco Bergoglio, was an Italian immigrant. One of his
grandfathers brothers had started a flooring enterprise in Parana, Argentina
that was doing well and the four Bergoglio brothers were putting up a family
business.
They disembarqued from the Julius Caesar, though they should have sailed
on an earlier voyage: with the Princess Malfada, which sank. Fr. Jorge
wrote. You cannot imagine how many times I have thanked divine
Providence!
Having worked as an accountant in the Bank of Italy in Turin, Papa Mario,
though an only child, had enjoyed being part of Don Boscos Salesian
Family in Italy. When he arrived in Buenos Aires in 1929, he went to live with
41

the Salesians in Solis Lane where he was warmly welcomed in typical Salesian
fashion. It was there that Mario encountered Fr. Pozzoli who promptly
became his confessor.
Photography and other creative activities attracted the youth. Mario settled
in to his new life in Buenos Aires and joined the lively group of young men that
gathered around Fr. Pozzoli in much the same way the young men in Turin
had often surrounded Don Bosco.
Fr. Pozzoli the missionary, confessor, and watchmaker, was also a
photographer and much loved by the Sivori family, and most of all by their
eldest son, Vincent Sivori, who had a passionate love for photography.
Mario met the Sivori brothers who were part of the Crulos Catlicos de
Obreros and eventually met Regina Maria Sivori whom he married on
December 12, 1935 in San Carlos. Jorges Mama devoted herself to raising
the family and to giving their five children a healthy religious upbringing.
His grandmother, Dona Rosa Margarita Vasallo de Bergoglio, a great
promoter of Catholic Action,greatly inspired young Jorge who often carried
with him one of her leaflets entitled St. Joseph in the life of the maiden, the
widow and the bride.
He recounts one occasion when his grandmother said things that did not
please the government and they closed the hall where she was to speak.
Undaunted, she spoke out on the street, standing on a table.
Its not strange that I speak with affection of the Salesians, he wrote,
because my family was nourished spiritually by the Salesians of San Carlos.
As a child I learned to go to the procession of Mary Help of Christians, he
wrote, and also to that of Saint Anthony of Mexico Street. When I was at my
grandmothers home, I went to the Oratory of Saint Francis of Sales.
As a child I had in my hands the Religious Instruction of Father Moret. Fr
Jorge added. They had taught us to ask for the blessing of Mary Help of
Christians every time we took leave of a Salesian.
An economic recession, however, began to take a toll on the flourishing
Bergoglio family business. The President of the firm, Jorges granduncle,
became ill with leukemia and lymphosarcoma and died.
The two eventsthe recession and the death of Juan Lorenzocaused the
family business to fail. They had to sell everything, from the family chapel in
the cemetery to the four storeys Bergoglio Building where the four brothers
lived.
Jorges grandparents and his Papa were left with nothing.
Growing up with the Salesians
As a family, the Bergoglios always turned to Fr. Enrique Pozzoli whenever there
was a problem, or when they needed help or advice. He had baptized all the
children but one, Jorges second brother who was born in 1938 when Fr
Pozzoli was in Usuahia.
42

Then in February of 1948, it happened that after Jorges Mama had his sister,
the fifth and last child, she became very weak and exhausted making it
necessary for the three eldest children to board. His sister, the third child, who
is today the mother of a Jesuit and of a woman religious, was placed as a
boarder at Mara Auxiliadora with the help of Fr. Pozzoli.
Fr. Pozzolis prayers to Mary Help of Christians for his boys when they were
going through difficult situations did not go unheeded, however, and he was
able to introduce the family to a person who lent them 2,000 pesos so that
Jorges grandparents could set up a store in Barrio Flores. His Papa, who had
been an accountant at the Bank of Italy, now had to be the delivery man for
the family store.
Near the end of 1948, Fr. Pozzoli intervened again so that Jorge and his
brother could enter as boarders at the Colegio Wilfrid Barn de los Santos
Angeles in Ramn Meja.
There I completed sixth grade, in 1949, and my brother fifth and sixth in 1949
and 1950, Pope Francis wrote Fr. Bruno.
The future pope was in Class 6B and won first prize that year in conduct,
religion and the Gospel.
Life in any Salesian college is the same anywhere in the world. One only has
to visit any Don Bosco school in the Philippines to get a sense of the Salesian
Spirit that permeates Don Bosco schools and opens the hearts of the young to
God.
Pope Francis writes that the Wilfrid Baron School of the Holy Angels in Ramos
Mejia, Buenos Aires, prepared him for life. Reflecting on what it was like to
attend the school, Pope Francis describes its Catholic culture:
School life was a whole. I was immersed in a way of life prepared so that
there wouldnt be time to be lazy. The day passed as an arrow without time
for one to be bored. I felt myself submerged in a world that, although
prepared artificially (with pedagogic resources), had nothing artificial
about it. The most natural thing was to go to Mass in the morning, as well as
having breakfast, studying, going to lessons, playing during recreation,
hearing the Good night of the Father Director.
On devotion to Mary
Recourse to Our Lady is essential for life. It goes from the awareness of having
a Mother in heaven that takes care of me to the recitation of the three Hail
Marys, or of the Rosary.
On the Good Night talk
One of the key moments of this learning to seek the meaning of things was
the Good night that the Father Director generally gave. When one or two
years later I came to know how Father Isidoro Holowaty died, of how he
endured for the sake of mortification so many days of pain in his stomach (he
was a nurse) until one Wednesday Father Pozzoli, who had gone there to
confess the Salesians, ordered him to see a doctor, well, when I came to
know this it seemed to me the most natural thing that a Salesian should die
this way, exercising virtue.
On sports
Sports is an essential aspect of life. One played well and a lot. The values that
sport teaches (in addition to health) we already knew. In study as in sport the
dimension of competition had a certain importance: we were taught
to compete well and to compete as Christians. (Like most South American
43

kids, young Jorge became a fervent fan of San Lorenzo de Almagro, one of
the classic teams of Argentine ftbol.)
Education in creativity
There was room for hobbies and crafts Father Lambruschini taught us to
sing, with Father Aviles I learned to build machineryand so many other
things (theater, organization of championships, academic ceremonies,
taxidermy, etc.) that channeled hobbies and anxieties.
Reason, religion and loving kindness
How did our educators address crises? They made us feel that we could trust,
that they loved us, they were able to listen, they gave us good opportune
advice, and they defended us both from rebellion as well as melancholy.
The Grandma Who Stood Up to Mussolini
By Ma. Lourdes Ll. Galza
Castor Oil and Live Toads
During the dark days under Benito Mussolini,armed squads in black called
theCamicie Nere, or Black shirts, quelled critics of the Fascist regime bytying
them to trees, pouring castor oil down their throats and forcing them to eat
live toads.
1Most people found it expedient to keep their thoughts to themselves.
Political correctness, however, meant compromising principle and one
concerned citizen with a conscience could notcompromise Gods truth.
Catholic Courage
Doa Rosa Margherita Vasallo de Bergoglio wasPope Francis Nonna or
grandmother. Shehad that special courage born of grace. Nonna, Doa
Rosa Margherita Vasallo de Bergoglio, worked with the newly founded
Catholic Action. The future Pope wrote his friend, Salesian historian Fr.
Cayetano Bruno. Nonna had known Bl. Pier Giorgio Frasatti.2
Bl. Giorgio was a handsome, fun-loving, young man with a great sense of
humor. Born of a wealthy Italian family, he secretly helped the poor. A
mountaineer and popular athlete,he was a passionateCatholic social activist
who opposed Fascism. He died at the age of 24 and was beatified in 1990 by
Pope John Paul II.
3With similar passion, the Popes Nonna Rosa gave rousing lectures on
Catholic Action. She lectured everywhere, then Fr. Bergoglio explained. It
seems that my grandmother said things that did not suit the policy Once
they closed the hall where she was to speak, and so she spoke out on the
street, standing on a table.
4 The Popes sister Maria Elena, confiding to Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli
added, Grandmother Rosa was a heroine for us, a very brave lady. Ill never
forget when she told us how in her town, in Italy, she took the pulpit in church
to condemn the dictatorship, Mussolini, fascism.5
She taught me a lot about faith
Today, Pope Francis describes his Nonna as the woman who had the
greatest influence 6 on his life. It was my grandmother who taught me to
pray. She taught me a lot about faith and told me stories about the
saints,6 He said ina radio interview released from Barracas, Buenos Aires.
Tornielli reports that Pope Francis keeps in his breviary a little note from his
Nonna Rosa that reads:
May my grandchildren, to whom I have given the best of my heart, have a
long and happy life. But if there are days of pain or illness, or if the loss of a
44

loved one fills them with despair, may they remember that a whisper of a
prayer and a look to Mary at the feet of the cross, can be like a drop of
balsam on even the deepest and most painful wounds. 7

Preparations for the event (August 2013-September 30, 2014)

Paseo de Manila tourism zone to rise in Luneta Park
The country's national park agency has bigger plans to redevelop the People's Park
By Pia Ranada, Rappler.com
MANILA, Philippines, August 30, 2013 - A tourism enterprise zone dubbed Paseo
de Manila will rise in Luneta Park, Juliet Villegas, outgoing National Parks
Development Committee (NPDC) director, announced on Friday, August 30.
In a public presentation held in Makati, Villegas showed a graphic of the proposed
development meant to attract more local and foreign tourists to the national park and
stimulate economic growth in the area. Paseo de Manila will be constructed in the
western part of the park, near Quirino Grand Stand and Manila Ocean Park.
The graphic showed 8 new proposed buildings, ranging from 3 to 15 stories high.
Villegas said proposals recommended that these buildings be boutique hotels,
restaurants or shopping centers.
All 8 buildings will feature a "green roof" or roof garden to add greenery to the park
as a whole.
"It is now undergoing a validation plan, because in Tourism Act of 2009, Luneta Park
is designated as a flagship destination to become a tourism enterprise zone together
with Intramuros," explained Villegas.
Paseo de Manila is just one of the key proposals for the redevelopment of the 54hectare People's Park.
The agency also plans to add more entry points to the park. One in the works will
connect the United Nations LRT-1 station to the children's playground. A raised
walkway "decorated with vines and flowers" will connect Luneta to Intramuros, said
Villegas.
45

An airconditioned glass-walled Visitor's Center will be constructed as a hub for
tourists who both want to know more about the park and rest from the heat.
The Rizal Park Amphitheater designed by National Artist Leandro Locsin will be
outfitted with a modern canopy so that public events like concerts or film-screenings
can enjoy protection from rain. Park-goers can see the finished product for themselves
in October when the Philharmonic Orchestra formally opens the amphitheater to the
public.
Revival
Stretching from Taft Avenue to Manila Bay, Luneta is said to be the largest urban
park in Asia. Since the 1800s, it has served as the People's Park, the preferred venue
for public events like: the Feast of the Black Nazarene (January 8-9), Weekly Family
Appointment with El Shaddai, El Shaddai Easter Overnight Celebration (every Black
Saturday to Easter Sunday), Independence Day (June 12), El Shaddai Anniversary
Celebration and 2014 Million People March protest.
The NPDC, an agency under the Department of Tourism, is the designated steward of
Luneta. When Villegas was appointed NPDC head in 2010, she set out to fix the most
glaring problems that pulled down the public park from its "golden age" in the 70s,
when Filipinos from every economic class patronized it.
"Due to budget constraints, the park couldn't do as much. It was just going through the
rounds of sweeping, cleaning, garbage-disposal. There were a lot of overgrown shrubs
and trees that made the park darker at night. Some of the bulbs were busted," she
recounted during a public presentation in Makati.
The park increasingly became more crime-prone, with the notorious "palakpak boys"
mugging park-goers and carrying out petty crimes. The August 2010 hostage-taking
of Chinese tourists in a bus in nearby Quirino Grand Stand cemented Luneta's
menacing reputation in the minds of local and foreign tourists.
With P300 million allotted to the NPDC for 2010 to 2013, Villegas sought to make
quick but effective fixes to the park.
She is proud to report a lower crime rate due to the 24-hour security provided by
tourist police and CCTV cameras. Jog lanes now run through the park. "Green" rest
rooms that collect rainwater for the flushing of toilets are open to park-goers.
With the help of urban planner Paulo Alcazaren, who is also leading the revival of
Roxas Boulevard, the agency has rehabilitated many of the park's most famous
features: Paco Park, the giant relief map of the Philippines, Flower Clock, children's
playground, musical dancing fountain, and diorama of Jose Rizal's martyrdom.
READ: Bike-friendly, billboard-free Roxas Boulevard?
Private-public partnerships have added new features like sculptures, mosaic murals,
the Senior Citizen's Garden and bus stops for tourists.
The importance of urban parks
Urban parks pose many benefits to communities.
According to University of California Institute of the Environment and Sustainability,
urban parks improve quality of life and and provide "visual and psychological relief"
for weary city dwellers.
46

Parks encourage healthy physical activities like sports, and create a sense of
community by providing space for interaction and gatherings.
Dubbed the "green lungs" of a city, urban parks also offer many environmental
benefits. Their trees and plants help cool cities by lowering surface and air
temperature. The shade they provide can lower temperature of surfaces by 11 to 25
degrees Celsius. Cooling also happens when water evaporates from soil and transpires
from plants.
Trees and vegetation lessen air pollution from the heightened commercial activity and
traffic of vehicles in urban zones. Along with soil, park greenery mitigates flooding
by absorbing water run-off.
To maximize these environmental benefits, NPDC unpaved the park's concrete
walkways to allow floodwater to seep through and be absorbed by the soil. About 20
hectares of what was once pavement are now trees and vegetation.
Though it seems that NPDC's efforts have revitalized Luneta Park, Villegas knows
this is only the beginning.
We have too few public parks in the country. While our mandate only covers Luneta,
Paco Park and Pook ni Mariang Makiilng in Laguna, we can work towards creating
more parks nationwide, she said. - Rappler.com
The 2013 Year-End Report
Super-typhoon Yolanda in APs 2013 Top 10 stories
New York, New York, USA, December 23, 2013 (AP) The glitch-plagued rollout of
President Barack Obamas health care overhaul was the top news story of 2013,
followed by the Boston Marathon bombing and the dramatic papal changeover at the
Vatican, according to The Associated Press annual poll of US editors and news
directors.
The saga of Obamacare as the Affordable Care Act is widely known received
45 first-place votes out of the 144 ballots cast for the top 10 stories.
The marathon bombing received 29 first-place votes and the papal transition 21.
Other strong contenders were the bitter partisan conflict in Congress and the leaks
about National Security Agency surveillance by former NSA analyst Edward
Snowden.
Last year, the top story was the massacre of 26 children and staff at an elementary
school in Newtown, Connecticut.
That result came after a rare decision by the AP to re-conduct the voting; the initial
round of balloting had ended Dec. 13, a day before the Newtown shooting, with the
2012 election at the top.
The first AP top-stories poll was conducted in 1936, when editors chose the
abdication of Britains King Edward VIII.
APs 2013 top 10 stories, in order:
HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL: The White House had hoped the Oct. 1 launch of
open enrollment would be a showcase for the upside of Obamas much-debated health
care overhaul.
Instead, the website became a symbol of dysfunction, providing Republicans and latenight comics with ammunition, and worrying the presidents Democratic allies.
47

The site gradually improved, but a wave of cancellation notices from insurers
undercut Obamas oft-repeated promise that people who liked their existing coverage
could keep it.
BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING: In seconds, a scene of celebration transformed
into one of carnage, as two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston
Marathon in April.
Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost
limbs.
Authorities soon identified two suspects 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died
in a shootout with police, and his brother, Dzhokhar, 20, who faces multiple charges,
including 17 that carry a possible death penalty.
Though jolted by the bombings and a subsequent lockdown, the city rallied under the
slogan Boston Strong.
VATICAN CHANGEOVER: Pope Benedict XVI stunned Catholics around the world
with his announcement in February that he would resign.
The Argentine cardinal [Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergolio] elected to succeed him, soon
known as Pope Francis, proceeded to captivate many Catholics and non-Catholics
alike with a new tone of openness, modesty and tolerance.
Without challenging core church doctrine, he suggested it was time to rethink policy
on divorce, focus more on serving the poor, and devote less rhetoric to condemnations
of gay marriage and abortion.
DIVIDED CONGRESS: Opinion polls showed Congress with historically low
approval ratings, and the key reason was seemingly intractable partisan conflict.
Among the consequences were the harsh automatic spending curbs known as
sequestration, the partial shutdown of the government in October, and bitterness in the
Senate after Democrats used their majority to reduce the Republicans ability to stall
presidential nominations via filibusters.
NSA SPYING: The ripple effect continues, seven months after the world learned of
Edward Snowden.
The former NSA analyst leaked vast troves of secret documents detailing NSA
surveillance operations, including programs that collected Americans phone records
and eavesdropped on allied leaders.
After a stay in Hong Kong, Snowden spent a month in Moscows airport before
obtaining asylum in Russia.
The leaks have roiled diplomacy, triggered lawsuits and calls for reform, and
prompted warnings that terrorists could benefit from the disclosures.
GAY MARRIAGE: Capping decades of activism, the gay-rights movement won a
monumental victory in June in the form of two Supreme Court decisions.
One cleared the way for ending a ban on same-sex marriages in California, the most
populous state.
The other struck down a 1996 law passed by Congress that banned federal recognition
of same-sex marriages. In subsequent months, Hawaii, Illinois and New Mexico
boosted the number of states allowing gay marriage to at least 17.
NELSON MANDELA: A freedom fighter, a political prisoner, a statesman revered
for preaching reconciliation in a nation torn by racial strife.
Nelson Mandela was all that and more the icon of the anti-apartheid movement and
South Africas first black president.
With his death at the age of 95, his compatriots, world leaders and countless other
admirers mourned the loss of a one-of-a-kind hero.
48

PHILIPPINES TYPHOON: There were dire warnings beforehand, but the toll
wreaked by by super-typhoon Haiyan (locally named Yolanda) was still stunning in
its scope after it struck on Nov. 8.
More than 6,000 people died; hundreds more remain missing. The typhoon damaged
or destroyed the homes of more than 16 million people, with rebuilding expected to
take years.
SYRIA: The death toll mounted inexorably, past 120,000, as Syrias nearly 3-year-old
civil war raged on with no signs of resolution.
The government of Bashar Assad did agree to eliminate its chemical weapons, but
prospects for peace talks were complicated by infighting among anti-government
rebels.
Nearly 9 million Syrians have been uprooted from their homes, with many of them
seeking refuge abroad.
MISSING WOMEN FOUND: The call for help came on May 6, and the revelations
that followed were gripping and grim.
A former bus driver, Ariel Castro, had abducted three women from the streets of
Cleveland from 2002 to 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20.
He periodically kept them chained, restricted access to food and toilets, and
repeatedly raped and assaulted them until their escape. Castro pleaded guilty to
multiple charges, and in September, faced with life in prison, hanged himself in his
cell.
Sao among 2013 10 People Who Mattered in science (By Ron B. Lopez,
Manila Bulletin)
Manila, Philippines, December 24, 2013 - Climate Change Commissioner Naderev

Yeb Sao represented the millions of Filipinos affected by super typhoon
Yolanda (internatioanal name Haiyan) when he spoke at the United Nations climate
talks in November, and it is still to them that he dedicates the honor of being named
one of the Ten People Who Mattered in 2013.
Sao, who drew a standing ovation over his solidarity plea at the UN climate talks at
Warsaw, is chosen as one of 10 people who mattered worldwide in 2013 by Nature
Journal, an international science journal, joining the list of people who excelled and
made breakthrough discoveries in the field of science.
The Climate Conscience
Nature journal described Sao as the Climate Conscience for focusing the worlds
attention to global warming following the destructive typhoon Yolanda that killed
more than 6,000 people in Eastern Visayas.
On November 20, Sao started his fasting during the 14-day climate talks until a
meaning outcome. His sacrifice has resulted in the last-minute deal of delegates from
international community to keep negotiations on track for the next major climate
summit in 2015.
Sao, a climate change advocate since 1997 and served as part of the NGO delegation
to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, also dedicated the
acknowledgement he got to all the people around the world confronting inequity,
injustice, and the risks of a planetary system gone awry, he told Manila Bulletin
Online.
His said he was deeply moved that his message at the UN talks has been recognized
by several organizations worldwide.
49

I am absolutely stunned. To have been lined up with these amazing people who are
trailblazing in their quest to make peoples lives better is a huge honor, he said.
But this only serves as the beginning for Sao.
The University of the Philippines-Diliman graduate said they are launching a program
which is similar to the fasting he and other concerned groups in the climate talks did:
the #FastForTheClimate campaign.
Sao joined the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), together with other global
organizations, in a monthly Day of Fasting for the Climate beginning 1 January. They
urge prayer and spiritual reflection to express solidarity with those who are most
vulnerable to climate change.
[We are] calling on people to join us in fasting every 1st day of each month
until December 1st 2014 when the next UN Climate Change Conference takes place
in Lima, Peru, he said.
In the Philippines, Sao and his group will visit communities nationwide to highlight
the things needed to be done to build resilience against climate change.
I also dedicate it to my children and future generations from whom we are merely
borrowing this Earth.
Sao noted that even his name will be forgotten, whats more important is that the
message has been delivered to the world so solidarity and the global awakening live
on.
The most important thing is to be a living example of what we advocate for. I will
continue to take public transport regularly to build awareness on the need to improve
the public transport systems, he said.
Sao is chosen together with Feng Zhang of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in Cambridge who has been tagged as the DNAs master editor, and
Tania Simoncelli, a US science-policy expert who fought to keep genes open to all
which earned her the title the gene patent foe.
The science journals list also includes Deborah Persaud, a virologist which proved
that infants born with HIV can be cured, Michel Mayor who belongs to a group who
have found hundreds of exoplanets during the past two decades, Viktor Grokhovsky
or the meteorite hunter, and virologist Hualan Chen who helped China to combat an
outbreak of H7N9 avian flu in humans.
Also in the list are Shoukhrat Mitalipov, or the cloning chief, who developed a line
of stem cells from a cloned human embryo; Kathryn Clancy, an anthropologist who
unearthed disturbing trends in sexual assaults at field sites; and Henry Snaith or the
Sun worshipper who boosted the efficiency of solar cells this year.
Nature journal is one of worlds most highly cited interdisciplinary science journals,
according to the 2012 Journal Citation Reports Science Edition. It is a weekly
international journal which started to publish finest peer-reviewed researches in all
fields of science since 1869.
The Visayas in 2013: Growth and daunting crises (First
of Three
Parts)
Manila, Philippines, December 24, 2013 - YEAREND REPORT
For the entire Visayas islands save for Eastern Visayas 2013 started and was
sustained by robust growth all through most of the year only to end in calamities so
horrendously devastating that this particular instance in Philippine modern history
will be etched indelibly in the memories of Filipinos and the whole world for a long
period of time.
50

Altogether, the Visayas regions, Western Visayas, Central Visayas and to a lesser
degree, Eastern Visayas, were estimated to contribute as much as 12 percent to the
overall growth of what has largely been regarded by the outside world as, Asias new
economic strong man, of late.
Sans catastrophic crises, the Philippines full-year growth through 2013 was projected
to hover between 7.3 to 7.5 percent from a clearly indicated 6.8 percent growth at
yearend 2012.
A diversified economy fueled by, among other drivers, a booming property
development sector, vibrant tourism, and a healthy banking and burgeoning business
process outsourcing (BPO) industry, all contributed to Western Visayas positive 8.2
percent economic growth. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas deputy director Fernando
Silvoza pointed out during an October 11 visit to the regional capital, Iloilo City, was
higher than the national average of 6.8 percent.
Meanwhile, Central Visayas, strategically located between major island groups,
Mindanao and Luzon, has always been an economic leader among the countrys
regions, growing by 9.3 percent last year, 6.8 percent in 2011 and 12.9 percent in
2010. Given its strong momentum in the last three years, Efren Carreon, assistant
director for the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) in Central
Visayas (Neda-7) said, in early December, that despite the devastating natural
calamities that affected parts of the region, particularly the regional capital, Cebu, in
the fourth quarter, we are targeting 7.5 to 10 percent growth of gross regional
domestic product (GRDP) for 2013.
He said whatever critical events may have occurred in the region in 2013, many of
the industries, including manufacturing, have already produced goods to sell for the
entire year. Some activities, tourism for instance, and particularly agriculture would
most likely be affected by the disastrous events that befell the region in October and
November, but construction will remain positive as both government and the private
sector make efforts to undertake rehabilitation and reconstruction work in areas
affected by the calamities.
Even Eastern Visayas, the perennial laggard in terms of growth and development
among the three Visayas regions, showed promise. For instance, in September,
Department of Science and Technology provincial director in Leyte John Glen Ocana
said there were certain indicators that point to an improvement in certain
infrastructure, such as the development of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) parks and the setting up of telecommunications in rural areas.
Leyte province, and its capital city Tacloban, were in fact regarded by the BPO sector
in the country as so-called next wave areas, which mean they are eyed as potential
hubs among locators in the BPO industry.
By the third quarter of 2013, the BPO sector in Eastern Visayas was employing some
4,000 workers, whose total contribution to the regional economy is estimated at about
P100 million annually.
Political Events
The year 2013 also saw the holding of two consequential political events the
senatorial election of May 13, and the barangay elections on October 28. The first was
held, using automated machines, and the latter, via the conventional, manual method.
But no matter the disparity by which both electoral exercises were held, the fact that
the incidents of violence and disorder did not reach alarming levels and the conduct of
both electoral exercises was generally peaceful. That was an accomplishment by both
the electorate and the authorities who maintained order worth commending.
51

At the macro level, it was pretty apparent that the country was well on its way to
realizing its 2013 growth target projections.
Calamities
There were a few incidents that marred an otherwise promising year, including the
sinking of 2GO passenger ship M/V Thomas Aquinas after a collision with cargo ship
MV Sulpicio Express Siete owned by Philippine Span Asia Carrier Corporation at
Cebu Strait off the coast of Talisay City, which resulted in 61 deaths, 59 missing and
750 rescued passengers. However such and other incidents were all eclipsed by the
two major natural calamities that struck the Visayas in quick succession, first in midOctober, and then barely two weeks later, in November.
7.2 Earthquake
The first of the two calamities was a 7.2-magnitude earthquake described by
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) director Renato
Solidum as having the energy equivalent of 32 Hiroshima atomic bombs which
disembowelled Central Visayas.
The earthquake on Oct. 15, the deadliest in about a quarter of a century to happen
in the country shook up the entire Visayas, particularly hitting hard Bohol and Cebu
provinces, and was felt beyond, as far as Masbate and even portions of southern
Mindanao.
Total damage suffered by Bohol province which was the most affected by the
earthquake, and Cebu, is estimated at over P2 billion. Beyond estimation is the
heartbreaking damage on some of the countrys and Bohols most precious
national cultural heritage treasures the centuries-old Roman Catholic churches in
Loon, Loboc, Maribojoc, Baclayon, Dais, Loay and Dimiao. The earthquake also
caused landslides on the famed natural wonders, the Chocolate Hills in Carmen and
the leaning bell tower which serves as the Hills viewing deck.
In Cebu City, the quake destroyed the belfry of the Basilica Minore del Santo Nio
which was constructed in the 16th century.
In all, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)
says over 3,000,000 persons or 671,000 families were affected by the massive tremor.
Nearly 350,000 people or 72,000 families were displaced and the casualty count
included over 200 people dead, eight missing and nearly 90,000 persons injured.
People in the province, most especially the children, have to be given trauma therapy
because to date, after shocks continue to cause anxiety among the populace. Phivolcs
has recorded over 4,000 aftershocks.
Strongest Cyclone On Record
A little over two weeks after the earthquake struck, aid and rehabilitation efforts for
victims of and areas hard hit by the earthquake had to be disrupted when what would
be described by such weather experts like real time weather information online
service, wunderground.coms Dr. Jeff Masters as the strongest tropical cyclone on
record to make landfall in world history, packing extreme wind speeds of 315 km/h
(195 mph), hit the country, initially ramming the coastal town of Guiuan, at the
southernmost tip of Samar Island facing the Pacific.
Leyte province and Eastern Visayas capital Tacloban City, some 96 miles away from
Guiuan, was next to be hit by super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan).
Seawater, rising to as much as over 20 feet, roared through the city, severely
damaging the airport, and drowning thousands of people who local authorities failed
to convince to leave their homes in lowland areas, and not sparing even those who
did, many of those being evacuees at the 5,000-capacity Tacloban City Convention
52

Center, locally referred to as the Astrodome. Like many major edifices in Tacloban,
including Mayor Alfred S. Romualdezs own mansion, the Astrodome is built near the
sea.
DOLE A year of building legacy (by Samuel Medenilla, Manila Bulletin)
Manila, December 25, 2013 - It was a good year to build a legacy.

This was how Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz described the
performance of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) wih less than
three years remaining in President Aquinos term.
Baldoz said 2013 saw DOLE finally laying the groundwork for much-needed
international labor reforms, which will outlast the current administration.
It was a year of the institutionalization of the reforms we started in 2010 So it was
a good year of work, when you will see these reforms last beyond the administration,
Baldoz said.
Among these were the countrys landmark ratification of two international labor
conventions the Decent Work for Domestic Workers Convention and the Maritime
Labor Convention 2006, which will protect household service workers (HSW) and
seafarers, respectively.
DOLE was also able to secure a bilateral agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia (KSA), to protect the thousands of overseas Filipino workers (OFW),
particularly HSWs, who are staying there.
It was also able to sign other bilateral agreements with Germany, Canada and Papua
New Guinea to provide additional overseas jobs for more Filipinos.
Institutionalize Policies
Baldoz said DOLE pushed for the passage of laws, which will institutionalize
DOLEs innovative policies.
These include the Single Entry Approach (SENA), which she attributed to the sharp
decline of work stoppage in the country and the Kasambahay Law, which provides
legal and social protection for local HSWs.
Overseas Displacement
But aside from this landmark reforms, Baldoz said the year was also defined by
disasters, both natural and man-made.
As with the previous three years, when the so-called Arab spring in the Arabian
Peninsula and other nearby countries began, DOLE also assisted in the repatriation of
thousands of OFWS through the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration
(POEA) and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
Last August, POEA issued a total deployment ban to Egypt after it declared a monthlong State of Emergency amid its worsening political tension. It was lifted this month
after its turmoil subsided.
POEA also re-imposed its deployment ban in Yemen this month due its escalating
domestic violence.
It, however, lifted the deployment ban in Iraq after tension in that country began to
subside last April except in four no-go zones, which are still deemed unsafe for
OFWs.
A voluntary moratorium in the deployment of HSWs was also declared by some local
recruitment agencies for Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore to force their
counterpart agencies in the Asian countries to comply with POEAs mandatory $400
minimum wage for HSWs.
53

DOLE said it supported these initiatives. These were all lifted later in the year as
countries began complying with POEA-set minimum wage.
Saudization
This year also signaled the beginning of KSAs crackdown on millions of illegal
migrant workers as it attempted to raise the participation of Saudi nationals through
the Saudization program in local establishments.
The program affected at least 200,000 undocumented OFWs staying in KSA who
rushed to legalize their status or seek repatriation within the seven-month amnesty
period givenby the Saudi government which ended in November.
The record showed that 104,364 of the OFWs changed professions, while 53,330
transferred to new employers to comply with KSA standards for foreign workers.
The remaining 38,939 OFW opted to be repatriated so they could either seek
redeployment to other countries or permanently stay in the Philippines and start their
own business through POEA and OWWA, respectively.
Major Calamities
The country was also prepared to end the year with some improvements in the labor
market in the last quarter when it was hit by major calamities.
Last September, thousands of workers were turned to refugees after a faction of the
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) raided and razed part of Zamboanga City,
which lasted for almost a month.
Many employees from Bohol also grappled with lost jobs and livelihood after a
magnitude-7.2 earthquake struck it on October 15.
In its recent survey for the month of October, the National Statistics Office (NSO)
noted the countrys labor market was able to shrug off the two incidents, when it
posted a slightly lower unemployment rate from 6.8 percent in same period last year
to 6.5 percent.
Underemployment or the rate of workers seeking better work opportunities also
declined to 17.9 percent, while employment rate also slightly rose to 93.5 percent.
2013 a smashing year for

PH beauties
(by Robert R. Requintina, Manila Bulletin)
Manila, Philippines, December 25, 2013 - The year 2013, just like 2012, was a
banner year for beauty pageants here and abroad highlighted by the three major titles
won by the Philippines and the successful return of Venezuela in three other beauty
contests.
For the first time, the Philippines finally clinched the elusive Miss World crown when
movie and television actress-television host Megan Lynne Young, 23, of Olongapo
City, won in Bali, Indonesia, on Sept. 28, 2013. It was a historic win for the
Philippines in the 63-year-old beauty contest, although the country only started to
send representatives to the worlds longest running pageant in 1966.
Prior to Youngs victory, the highest ranking the country had achieved in the Miss
World pageant was first-runner up won by (now Religious Sister) Evangeline Pascual
in 1973 and Gwendoline Ruais in 2011.
54

This year, the Philippines also notched another international crown after Mutya
Johanna Datul, 21, was crowned Miss Supranational in Belarus on Sept. 6, 2013.
Although the international pageant is relatively new only five years old and hardly
heard in the Philippines the contest is fast gaining a reputation as one of the most
popular beauty events in Europe. With Datuls triumph, she holds the record as the
countrys and Asias first Miss Supranational winner.
Smashing Record
Datuls victory also contributed to another smashing record for the country in beauty
contests: the Philippines now hold the record as the country that has won in all major
beauty pageants (Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International, Miss Earth, and
Miss Supranational).
Bea Rose Santiago, 23, of Masbate, capped the successful run of Filipino beauties in
2013 by winning the Miss International beauty contest in Tokyo, Japan, last
December 17. She bested 66 candidates from around the world.
Controversy
The Miss International beauty pageant was, however, rocked by controversy for the
first time when 2012 titleholder Ikumi Yoshinatsu of Japan was dethroned for her
alleged involvement in a scandal with a media executive.
During the 2013 coronation night, Ikumi was barred from attending. Instead, Santiago
was crowned by 2008 Miss International Alejandra Andreu of Spain at the end of the
competition. Santiago dedicated her victory to the victims of super-typhoon
Yolanda which ravaged the Visayas last November, killing more than 6,000 people.
Santiagos win was the fifth Miss International crown won by the Philippines. Past
four winners were Gemma Cruz (1964), Aurora Pijuan (1970), Melanie Marquez
(1979), and Precious Lara Quigaman (2005).
Impressing Judges
During the question and answer portion, Santiago was asked: What will you do if
you win the crown?
She impressed the judges with her answer: The whole world saw how my country
hurt. One by one, other countries helped. You have opened my heart and eyes on what
we can do to help each other. I will work to hold the spirit of sympathy and spirit of
hope. As long as we work together, there is hope.
Other Shining Beauties
Three other Philippine candidates also made good in beauty contests when they
placed third runner-up in international competitions.
Ariella Arida, of Alaminos, Laguna, won third runner-up in the 2013 Miss Universe
beauty contest held in Moscow, Russia, for the first time last Nov. 9. This was the
fourth year in a row that the Philippines finished in the Top 5 of the most prestigious
beauty contest. Maria Venus Raj won fourth runner up in 2010; Shamcey Supsup,
third runner-up in 2011, and Janine Tugonon, first runner-up in 2012.
Professional singer Annalie Ali Forbes, 20, also placed third runner-up in the first
edition of the 2013 Miss Grand International contest in Bangkok, Thailand last Nov.
19.
The beauty contest, sponsored by the government of the Kingdom of Thailand,
campaigns against war. Its first winner was Janelle Chaparro, of Puerto Rico.
Koreen Medina, 18, of Quezon City, also finished third runner-up at the 2013 Miss
Intercontinental contest held in Madgeburg, Germany last Dec. 14.
Medinas achievement was the highest since 1993 when Maria Sovietskaya Bacud
placed second runner-up in the same beauty contest, which continues to hold the
55

record for the most expensive crown of all beauty competitions. The crown named
Oriental Holy Water is worth US$361,446 (roughly P16, 265,070).
Gil Wagas, 22, of Cebu City, placed fourth runner-up in the Mister International
contest held in Bali, Indonesia, last Nov. 21, won by Jose Paredes of Venezuela.
Paredes was crowned by 2012 Mister International first runner-up Ron Teh of
Singapore after Ali Hammoud of Lebanon could not make it to Bali because of his
participation in the Lebanese version of Dancing With The Stars.
Venezuela on Top
Venezuelans also finished on top of two other competitions when Maria Isler was
crowned 2013 Miss Universe and Alyz Henrich won the 2013 Miss Earth held in
Alabang, Muntinlupa City. The two are good friends back home.
Maria Isabelle Zaragoza Mendoza, 19, of San Beda College, was crowned Miss
Campus World in Malaysia last Dec. 6. Roland William de Dios finished second for
male category of the contest.
Other notable finished in 2013 were Angelee delos Reyes, Top 8 in the 2013 Miss
Earth pageant, and Cindy Miranda who was in the Top 10 of the Miss Tourism Queen
International in China last October.
Social Responsibility
Meanwhile, at the start of the worldwide broadcast for the 2013 Miss Universe beauty
contest, Thomas Roberts of MSNBC Live and ex-Spice Girl Melanie Brown
dedicated the beauty pageant to the Philippines and Vietnam, both affected by supertyphoon Haiyan (named Yolanda in the Philippines).
The environment-driven Miss Earth beauty contest, during a live telecast, also
thanked the countries that aided the Philippines during the crisis. The contestants
joined the disaster relief efforts for typhoon victims.
The News that Defined 2013 Part 1 (by MB Online)
Manila, Philippines, December 26, 2013 - The year 2013 will be remembered, first
and foremost, for the devastating calamities that were visited upon the nation.
When super typhoon Yolanda ripped through the Visayan provinces on Nov. 8,
nobody could foretell the deadly effect of the 7-meter storm surges that inundated the
coastal areas. With Tacloban City all but flattened, the death rose above 6,000 as
relief workers continued to dig bodies out of the rubble, or fish them out of the water.
This and the powerful earthquake that rocked Bohol barely a month earlier made
calamitiesboth natural and manmadethe top story of the year.
In Manila Bulletin Onlines yearend review, the other big stories of 2013 were: the
pork barrel scandal and its impact on the countrys politics; Manilas territorial
dispute with Beijing over the West Philippine Sea; the economys gains that were
dampened by rising unemployment; Nur Misuaris violent misadventure in
Zamboanga City; a shooting incident in Philippine waters that triggered a diplomatic
and economic backlash from Taiwan; the repatriation of thousands of Filipinos from
countries that had become inhospitable to foreign labor; the mid-term elections in
which the administration strengthened its grip on the Senate; a bloody and futile bid
by the Sulu sultanate to assert its ownership of Sabah; and the repeated grounding of
ships in the precious Tubbataha Reef.
Heres a snapshot of the most defining news of 2013.
Super Typhoon and Super Quake
October 15 and November 8, 2013 would be remembered for the two calamities that
inflicted so much pain, death and destruction in the Visayas.
56

The earthquake that struck Central Visayas in October registered a 7.2-magnitude
intensity enough to kill 222 people in seconds. It also injured 976 people and left eight
missing. It flattened a good part of Tagbilaran, Bohol and also Cebu, toppling
centuries-old churches, schools, hospitals and other landmarks that would take years
to repair. The killer earthquake affected 3.221 million people and damaged P2.257
billion of properties.
But the force of nature was not finished yet. In less than a month, it landed the most
destructive typhoon in Leyte and other nearby provinces. For just a few hours, it
obliterated Tacloban City, killed over 6,000 people, displaced millions of Filipinos
and destroyed everything in its path. It was a super typhoon the world had never seen
before and its name was Yolanda.
Fishy Pork Barrel
On July 12, a P10-billion pork barrel scam was exposed and it had the name Janet
Lim Napoles written all over it. The scandal implicated senators and government
officials and sent the whole country demanding for truth and justice.
Since then this story has developed a cast of characters that include an army of
whistleblowers, the socialite daughter of the accused, government officials charged
with plunder, and even the President to whom Napoles personally surrendered.
The stinky pork barrel scam is an issue that fired the nation to stage pork rallies to
demand the abolition of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). It caused
social media to boil over, senators to quarrel publicly, and for the accused to turn the
table to their accusers.
The pork barrel scam is a running story that will continue in 2014. Although PDAF
has been ruled unconstitutional and has been put to rest, getting to the bottom of the
pork barrel scam would take awhile.
Troubled Waters
The United Nations on April 25 announced that it has completed the arbitration body
which will tackle the case filed by the Philippines against China over its excessive
claim to the South China Sea. What followed was a verbal tussle between officials of
the two countries that didnt improve relationships and even caused Japan, the
European Union and the United States to get involved somehow.
Ironically, it took an ugly event such as super typhoon Yolanda to somehow relax the
strained relationships between the two countries, with Chinas decision to send aid,
including its hospital ship, for the typhoon-ravaged parts of the Philippines in
November.
The arbitration case, however, remains as the fragile relationship between Philippines
and China hangs in the balance.
Economic boom?
On October 3, the country has received its third investment grade rating for the year
from credit rating firm Moodys Investor Service. Moodys has rated the country
Baa3 from the previous rating Ba1.
In March, Fitch Ratings recognized the countrys improving economic standing, while
Standard & Poors and Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) upgraded their assessments
of the countrys economic outlook last May.
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), however,
acknowledged that impressive economic growth for five consecutive quarters is not
enough to combat the problems of unemployment and poverty, citing the need of
other factors to help trickle down the economic boom.
57

Zamboanga Siege
The Zamboanga siege began around 1:45 a.m. of Sept. 9 when fully-armed members
of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) from the faction of its founding chairman
Nur Misuari, came to Sitio Bugok in Barangay Sta. Catalina but were blocked by
government security forces. It was an unfortunate event that lasted over 20 days and,
when the smoke cleared, revealed the death of over 100 rebels and the capture and
surrender of some 223 and 52 MNLF men, respectively.
However, the government also suffered casualties, including 18 soldiers and five
policemen killed in action (KIA) Nd 167 soldiers and 14 policemen wounded in
action (WIA).
Among the innocent civilians who were caught in the crossfire, nine were killed and
57 wounded.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) also
reported that the violence affected at least 23,794 families or 118,819 people from 14
villages in the city and one barangay in Zamboanga Sibugay.
Misuari, however, has avoided capture and reportedly has managed to leave the
country to face charges of rebellion filed against him by the government.
Backlash from Taiwan
Relationship with Taiwan went sour in May when a Taiwanese fisherman was
reportedly shot by a member of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) after they were
found to be poaching off Balintang Channel, which is part of Philippine waters. This
led to a string of events such as Taiwans economic sanction against the Philippines
that included its refusal to hire Filipino contract workers and demands for
compensation and apology to the family of the victim.
Three months later, the National Bureau of Investigation recommended the filing of
homicide charges against PCG officers in connection with the accidental shooting of
the Taiwanese fisherman. On August 9, Taiwan lifted its sanction to the Philippines. It
is also one of the many countries that come to the aid of Yolanda victims.
OFW woes
Throughout 2013, thousands of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) made news
mostly for being in miserable situations. From repatriations to sex-for-flight scandals,
many OFWs in Egpyt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and other places around the world have
become victims of their circumstances.
On Sept. 19, however, came one good newsOFW Rodelio Dondon Lanuza
returned to his family after 13 years in Saudi prison. Lanuza has been saved from
death row in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after killing an Arab national. The Saudi
Arabian court sentenced him to death but pardoned him after his family was able to
pay the 3 million Saudi riyal blood money. The Philippine government was able to
raise 700,000 riyal. The remaining 2.3 million riyal came from Saudi King Abdullah.
Mid-term Elections
The mid-term elections had the administration strengthening its grip on the Senate
when most of its senatorial bets were proclaimed winners. Grace Poe Llamanzares,
daughter of the late Fernando Poe, Jr., garnered the highest vote, followed by Loren
Legarda, Alan Peter Cayetano and Francis Escudero.
Quest for Sabah
When some 200 armed followers of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III occupied a town in
Lahad Datu in Malaysia on February 11 to reassert their territorial claim on Sabah, it
caught both the governments of Malaysia and the Philippines by surprise.
58

The standoff had triggered a standoff and saw eight members of the Royal Forces
captured and charged with terrorism in Malaysia, facing death or life imprisonment
over the intrusion.
On October 20, the Sultan died in Quezon City due to multiple organ failure caused
by diabetes, but the ownership claim of the sultanate over the Sabah continues.
Tubbataha grounding
On January 17, the US Navy minesweeper, the USS Guardian, ran aground in the
Sulu Sea and got stuck on Tubbataha Reef.
Known as one of the worlds best dive sites, the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is a
97,030-hectare World Heritage Site consisting of two coral atolls that harbor a wide
range of marine species including large marine life such as manta rays, sharks, and
turtles.
It took months to dislodge the USS Guardian from Tubbataha and not after causing
huge damage to the priceless natural resource. The United States has since then made
compensation for damage to the reef caused by their ship.
But barely weeks after the USS guardians wreckage was removed from the reef, a
Chinese fishing vessel also ran aground at the Tubataha Reef on April 8, causing
more damage to the marine protected area in Palawan.
The Philippine Coast Guard said that the fishing vessel F/V Min Long Yu had 12
crew members, allegedly Chinese poachers found to have crates of dead, protected
wildlife anteaters.
While it was smaller than the USS Guardian, the Chinese fishing vessel had caused
worse damage to the heritage site than the US Guardian as the boatmen tried to
forcibly dislodge their vessel.
The Tubbataha Management Office said that based on the result of the study of
scientists that analyzed the damage caused by the Chinese vessel, it has severely
damaged 3,902 square meters of corals-including some massive corals 500 years old.
The damage is 66 percent larger than the damage caused by the USS Guardian.
The USS Guardian measured 224 feet by 39 feet, while the Chinese fishing vessel
measured 48 meters long and eight meters wide.
Other stories
Before 2013 comes to a close, other big stories developed and one of them is the
impending P4.15 per kWh power rate hike of the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco). This,
in itself, represents the continuous crucifixion of Filipino consumers who today suffer
the worlds highest rates for electricity.
Slapped with a temporary restraining order by the Supreme Court, Meralco has to
shelve its planned rate increase, but said they will defer about P9-billion of payment
to power suppliers. This, and other stories, will spill over to 2014.
The Visayas in 2013:

Growth and daunting crises
(2nd Of Three Parts)
(by Teodoro Y. Montelibano, Manila Bulletin)
59

Manila, Philippines, December 25, 2013 - YEAREND REPORT
Guiuans Fear
Meanwhile, compared to Tacloban, the coastal town of Guiuan, with a population of
some 45,000, and first to be beaten up by Yolanda, did not suffer as much casualties.
Guiuans mayor, Christopher Gonzalezs assiduous determination in getting town
residents to move up to higher ground paid off. Referring to the storm as delubyo,
or deluge, he managed to provoke fear amongst the majority of townspeople, who left
their homes for safe, higher grounds. As a result, only 87 of Guiuans population
perished, 23 remain missing and some 930 injured.
Yolanda stormed through the Visayas region, hitting landfall on other areas, including
the northern parts of Cebu, Panay, and Negros Occidental provinces, before making
its exit the following day, Nov. 9, toward the direction of Vietnam. Within three days
of the monstrous typhoons occurrence, various provinces beyond Leyte and Samar in
the Visayas Cebu, Aklan, Capiz and Iloilo, as well as Palawan in the Mimaropa
region were declared under a state of national calamity. (With inputs from Mars W.
Mosqueda, Malou Mozo, and Phoebe Jen Indino)
The World Helps
Immediate response, both locally, and from the international community, was
immediate and overwhelming. To date, some 57 countries in the world have pledged
close to P24 billion ($539 million) with about P593 million ($12.337 million) in cash
already received by government.
The governments of many countries, including the United States of America, the
United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Russia, Israel, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore,
Australia, New Zealand, and even the Peoples Republic of China, with which the
country is at loggerheads over territorial disputes, sent cash as well as relief goods and
equipment by the tons, along with actual humanitarian missions.
The Norwegian Shipowners Associations Norwegian Training Center-Manila, for
instance, mobilized over a hundred cadets and volunteers, to load for a full day tons of
relief goods targeted for areas in Eastern Visayas not yet reached by aid, on board a
training vessel. The vessel set sail from Manilas South Harbor under heavy rains for
Tacloban port, the first civilian ship to undertake relief efforts for Yolanda victims in
Eastern Visayas.
Oil Spill
Japan Coast Guard personnel, employing modern techniques and equipment, also
proved instrumental in speeding up work on an oil spill incident at Barangay
Botongon, Estancia, one of several towns badly hit when Yolanda ravaged northern
Iloilo.
The incident involves the spilling of some 900,000 liters of bunker fuel from a power
barge supplying power to the Visayas grid that was dislocated from its mooring site
by typhoon-caused huge waves and ferocious winds and was swept aground the
barangays coastline.
Operated by the National Power Corporation for the Power Assets and Liabilities
Management (PSALM), 32-megawatt Power Barge 103s storage tanks were believed
to have been punctured when it rammed the coastline, causing bunker fuel stored in
the tanks to spill into the water.
Some 2,000 people had to be evacuated from the barangay to an evacuation center at
the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College-West Campus at Estancia town proper
when tests indicated that benzene level from fumes from the spilled oil reached 16.9
ppm or 30 times the allowable level. PSALM hired contractor, Kuan Yu Global
60
Technologies to clean up the oil spill, but to a large extent, it was modern technical
help provided by the Japan Coast Guard that effectively helped to speed up the work.
More current test results show the reduction of toxicity levels to zero parts per million
(ppm), which is lower than the tolerable level of 0.5 ppm, and very recently, the
Department of Health in Iloilo has recommended that resident-evacuees could return
home.
Meanwhile, a 20-meter radius from the spill site remains off limits and continued air
quality monitoring continues. Transfer of the remaining bunker fuel inside the power
barge has been completed and the contaminated water and debris transferred to a
treatment facility in Luzon. Refloating and towing of the barge off Estancia has also
been set by the contractor for Jan. 9, 2014.
Achievements, experiments
mark bumpy year in
transport
By Kris Bayos, Manila Bulletin
Manila, Philippines, December 26, 2013 Airplanes overshooting the runway, buses
flying off the expressway or ramming other vehicles, ships sinking, and trains
breaking down have made public transportation a frequent item in the headlines this
year. But 2013 has also been a year of achievements, of successful experiments and of
new feats in the transportation sector.
Probably the most noteworthy accomplishment of the Philippines in the field of
transportation this year is recovering from an infamous reputation in the global
aviation industry. This was after being delisted from the International Civil Aviation
Organizations tally of member-states with unresolved significant safety concerns
(SSCs) last March.
AVIATION SAFETY
In an electronic bulletin dated March 7, 2013 sent to the Department of Transportation
and Communications (DoTC), the ICAO Council formally stated that the
[Philippine] State has implemented corrective actions in accordance with the
mechanism approved by the Council to resolve two SSCs the issuance of air
operator certificates and the aircraft registration process. Following its audit findings,
the ICAO Coordinated Validation Missions team recommended to the ICAO
Headquarters in Montreal, Canada the lifting of the SSCs it previously raised with
respect to the Philippines.
Shortly thereafter, the European Unions Air Safety Committee started lifted its ban
against Philippine carriers from serving European destinations, starting with
Philippine Airlines (PAL) last July 12. Ambassador Guy Ledoux, head of the
delegation of the European Union (EU), lauded the efforts of Civil Aviation Authority
of the Philippines (CAAP) officials for taking sufficient corrective actions to address
the EU Air Safety Committees requirements and that of the ICAO.
61

The ICAO delisting and EU ban lifting has not only invigorated tourism but also the
contributed to the growth of the economy as the Philippines have become more
accessible to incoming tourists and returning Filipino travelers and workers in Europe.
After these achievements, the Philippine government is expecting the United States
Federal Aviation Authority to upgrade the countrys status from Category 2 to 1. The
US FAA had earlier identified major safety, management and regulation shortcomings
in Philippine aviation and consequently downgraded the countrys rating to Category
2 from Category 1.
Once upgraded, Philippine carriers would be able to deploy trips to more destinations
in the US and switch to newer and fuel-efficient aircrafts to serve the flights.
SAVING MARINERS
Similarly, Philippine maritime transportation stakeholders are awaiting the result of
the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) audit last October pertaining to the
Philippines Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) for
seafarers compliance. The audit was in line with the Philippines commitment to the
1978 International Convention on STCW.
EMSA had threatened to ban Filipino seafarers from EU-flagged ships after the
Philippines failed to act on the recommendations of a previous STCW audit in 2006.
The ban could put at least 100,000 Filipino seafarers out of work and leave European
ships with serious crew shortage.
Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) Administrator Dr. Maximo Q. Mejia admitted
that if we fail the audit, it could result in the major disruption of an important
symbiotic relationship, he said, adding that Filipinos stand to lose jobs, while
European ships come to a standstill for lack of seafarers to operate them.
But Mejia said Marina is making sure that the Philippines will pass the EMSA audit,
stressing that the international shipping communitythe maritime world has
increasingly put its faith in the Filipino to carry global commerce from far end of the
earth to the other, so much so, that today close to 30 percent of all seafarers in the
international trade are Filipino.
TRANSPORT EXPERIMENTS
Meanwhile in land transportation, the government has test-ran a proposal to limit
public utility buses entering Metro Manila by setting up a centralized terminal for
provincial buses in Paranaque. Originally part of the three terminals envisioned for
the Integrated Transport System (ITS), the Southwest Interim Transport Terminal,
which started operating last August 6 at the corner of MIAA and Coastal Roads, has
contributed to the reduction of vehicular traffic volume in the city.
Commuters have also started to adapt with the new system just before government
implements the ITS project, with centralized provincial bus terminals rising at the
Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) property along Coastal Road, the Food
Terminal Inc. (FTI) in Taguig City and at a soon-to-be-identified location in Quezon
City.
Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya said the DOTC is scheduled to start the bidding
process for the construction of the ITS terminals in Taguig and Paranaque City early
next year.
Once the ITS is implemented, all provincial bus terminals will be relocated to the
central hub and will greatly reduce the number of vehicles entering Metro Manila.
Full implementation of the ITS is reportedly Malacanangs requirement for the
planned rehabilitation of Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA).
RAIL IMPROVEMENTS
62

Also a prerequisite to the EDSA rehabilitation, the government is close to awarding
the P3.8-billion MRT 3 Capacity Expansion Project to supply 48 new train cars to the
Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 3. According to DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya, the
Bids and Awards Committee has found the Chinese supplier Dalian Locomotive &
Rolling Stock Co. CNR Group as fit to do the project for having adequate, if not
impressive, manufacturing facilities. He said post-qualification of the bid is ongoing
and that awarding is expected early next year. Ideally, delivery of the prototype can be
expected by the first quarter of 2015 and the delivery of the rest of the LRVs by the
third quarter of 2016.
And speaking of bidding, the DOTC was able to generate negative bids for two of its
public-private partnership (PPP) projects: the P17.5 billion Mactan-Cebu International
Airport Development Project and the P1.72 billion Automated Fare Collection System
(AFCS) for the Light and Metro Rail Transits (LRT-MRT). By offering negative bids,
the proponents are offering to implement the projects and even willing to pay
government to win the contract. According to DOTC BAC chairman and
Undersecretary Jose PerpetuoLotilla, government did not only get the best deal, it also
saved taxpayers money through meticulously packaged projects.
TRANSPORT APPS
Another innovative achievement in the transportation industry this year is the
launching of the first Philippine Transit App Challenge last July. At least 17 apps
competed for the best transit application, which was aimed to enable multi-modal trip
planning by providing commuters and tourists with information on the available
means of multi-modal transportation means and location of key transfers. The
winning app, Trip Barker, bested other entries for being a community-based trip
planner which can be used to report and share weather, traffic, and events in real-time
with other users.
Public transportation in the Philippines may be far from being world-class but
government is surely doing its part in making it at par with the rest of the world.
Various transportation infrastructure projects are in the pipeline and more are coming
up, including an ambitious plan to revive the Philippine National Railways operation
from Cagayan, Isabela to Sorsogon to tap government-owned tracks for rapid transit
(passenger) and cargo services in Luzon. Delays have marred awarding of several key
projects and put a doubt if the administrations projects will be implemented before
President Benigno S. Aquino III steps out of office on June 30, 2016 but Abaya said
PPP remains a continuous learning process for both government and the private
sector.
It has been a good year but still there is a lot of room for improvement, Abaya
said.
Big year ends with Wall Street hopeful for 2014
As Wall Streets best year in more than 15 draws to a close, few are expecting
a repeat performance in 2014, though traders have plenty of reasons to feel
optimistic.
While the market will likely enter January quietly, with many traders still out for
the holidays and few major catalysts, the upward trend is seen continuing
next week, especially in some of 2013s high-flying names.
Economic growth is expected to accelerate next year, boosting employment
and consumer purchasing power. But with markets repeatedly notching alltime highs, that may not translate to market gains as dramatically as in 2013.
63

Theres a pervasive feeling that the economy is getting better, and the Fed is
still on the markets side after saying it would keep rates low, said Donald
Selkin, chief market strategist at National Securities in New York.
However, while new money will still be flowing into stocks next year, probably
well see less money come in. Theres little chance of another 30 percent gain
or so next year.
The S&P 500 .SPX has risen 29 percent so far in 2013, its best annual
performance since 1997. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI is up 26
percent while the Nasdaq is up nearly 38 percent.
The gains have been widespread, with all 10 S&P 500 sectors higher on the
year. The weakest group, telecoms .SPLRCL, rose 6.5 percent while consumer
discretionary .SPLRCD led the year with a gain of 40 percent.
One of the markets biggest boosts this year the Federal Reserves stimulus
program will not be as strong a factor after the central bank announced a
slowing of the program in December. The Fed beginning in January will buy
$75 billion in Treasuries and mortgage-backed bonds per month, down from
$85 billion, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, whose term expires on January
31, suggested the U.S. central bank could continue to slowly reduce that
stimulus throughout 2014.
The latest Reuters poll showed analysts expect the S&P 500 to rise to 1,925
points by the end of 2014, which represents a rise of 4.5 percent from current
levels.
Subscription video company Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) was the S&Ps strongest
performer in 2013, with a jump of almost 300 percent, followed by electronics
retailer Best Buy Co Inc (BBY.N) and semiconductor maker Micron Tech
(MU.O), both of which climbed nearly 240 percent. Tesla Motors (TSLA.O) was
another standout, soaring 346 percent, while Facebook Inc (FB.O) more than
doubled.
These names could see further upside next week thanks to window dressing,
a practice in which investors buy securities with big gains to improve the
appearance of their holdings before presenting the results to clients. The 2013
year will close out on Tuesday, with the market closed on Wednesday for the
New Years Day holiday.
Consumer discretionary and tech names have driven the market over the
past 12 months, so it wouldnt surprise me to see continued upside on them
next week, said Jake Dollarhide, chief executive of Longbow Asset
Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
However, Dollarhide said the names were priced for perfection and
vulnerable to pullbacks next year.
There wont be a sudden lets sell Micron and Netflix movement, but if profit
growth slows or a conference call doesnt go well, absolutely you could see a
20 to 30 percent selloff after doubling this year, he said.
The fourth-quarter earnings season wont start in earnest until the second
week of January, but there will be a few clues into the economys strength
coming out next week, with data on consumer confidence and
manufacturing.
Next week will also see reads on the housing market with November pending
home sales on tap for Monday and the Case/Shiller report on October home
prices on Tuesday. The housing sector has been in focus as U.S. benchmark
64

Treasury yields rose to two-year highs, which could put pressure on mortgage
rates, which are typically driven by the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.
If yields stay this high, I would consider that both a technical and
psychological negative for markets, said Mark Grant, managing director at
Southwest Securities in Fort Lauderdale.
Pending home sales, or sales which are in contract but not yet closed, are
seen rising 1 percent while the October home prices are expected to rise 0.8
percent.
In the latest week, the Dow rose 1.6 percent while the S&P was up 1.3 percent
and the Nasdaq rose 1.3 percent.
2013 America: the good, the bad and the funny
December 28, 2013 - Vice President Joe Biden congratulated the wrong man
on being elected mayor of Boston and college football star Manti Teo
publicly mourned the death of a girlfriend who never was.
While U.S. headlines in 2013 were dominated by the Boston Marathon bombs,
Edward Snowden leaking government secrets, and the disastrous rollout of
President Barack Obamas healthcare reform law, the news also brought
plenty to laugh about.
In the category of Politicians Behaving Badly, former Congressman Anthony
Weiners campaign to become mayor of New York City tanked when news
broke that the Democrat, who resigned from Congress in 2011 after a sexting
scandal, was at it again this time using the name Carlos Danger. The Xrated dj vu inspired a play called The Weiner Monologues.
On the West Coast, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner made the headlines with
what came to be known as the Filner Headlock. After asking a woman for a
date, he came up behind her and wrapped one arm around her in an
embrace that was more World Wrestling Entertainment than Kama Sutra.
Sexual harassment accusations followed from nearly 20 other women,
resulting in Filners resigning, getting sued and being sentenced to home
confinement.
A foot-in-mouth moment occurred on the November night Massachusetts
State Senator Marty Walsh was elected mayor of Boston. As new mayor Walsh
prepared to greet supporters, another Marty Walsh a Boston public affairs
consultant saw an unfamiliar 202 number pop up on his cell phone.
Congratulations, Marty, you son of a gun. You did it! he heard the voice of
the U.S. vice president shout gleefully, before he realized his mistake.
In October, the federal government shutdown led to some strange stories,
including the blackout of the wildly popular online Giant Panda Cam at the
National Zoo in Washington and the furloughing of poison ivy-eating goats in
New Jersey and New York.
Months later, the fumbled launch of Healthcare.gov whipped up a search for
the Obamacare Girl, who was re-named Glitch Girl after her smiling face
remained frozen on the home page that frustrated millions of computer users.
In the sports world, former Notre Dame Linebacker Manti Teo put a new twist
on the old adage that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have
loved at all. Romantics were drawn to the tale of his devotion to Lennay
Kekua and her tragic death from cancer until her very existence was
exposed as a fraud. The snarky Twittersphere was flooded with photos of
65

people Teoing hugging empty chairs or puckering up in an otherwise
empty room.
Broken hearts were mended after a New Jersey commercial fisherman lost
$12,000 in cash he had saved to buy an engagement ring. His backpack had
a faulty zipper and the money fell out as he rode his motorcycle to the docks.
Much of the loose cash was scooped up, but after the story came out, good
Samaritans returned it to him.
Elsewhere on the Jersey Shore, Wildwood officials banned saggy pants on the
boardwalk, pressing their crusade for decency with the threat of a $200 fine
for pants that sag more than three inches below the waist. To those who
invoked their right to wear low-slung pants, Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. said: I
have a right not to look at your rear end.
Animals acting up got their share of attention in 2013. A foul-mouthed Rhode
Island cockatoo landed its owner in trouble by cursing at a next-door
neighbor, who happened to be the girlfriend of the owners ex-husband. The
City of Warwick initially slapped the woman with a $15 fine for the birds salty
language, but eventually dropped the case.
In Colorado, a man on his way to his brothers wedding 600 miles away in
Utah was arrested for being drunk while riding his horse. He had a small dog in
his backpack.
As the year drew to a close, an African flamingo that had been on the lam
for eight years after escaping from a zoo in Wichita, Kansas, was spotted this
month cavorting with a companion in the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast.
Flamingos pair up for life, but the gender of these two birds was unknown, a
zoo official said.
Malacaang: 2013 a year

of foresight and prudence
(by Madel Sabater - Namit, Manila Bulletin)
Manila, Philippines, December 28, 2013 - Malacanang on Saturday described 2013

as a year of foresight and prudence for the Aquino administration which faced
political challenges and disasters in the last 12 months.
The past year has been a remarkable year for the Filipino people: one in which the
President showed his indomitable will to lead the nation forward, and where the
mandate for change was renewed in the years midterm elections, Deputy
presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said.
It has been a year wherein the foresight and prudence of the President and his
teamholding fast to the long-term vision of a more prosperous, stable, and
dynamically competitive Philippineshas been upheld time and again, she said.
It has been a year of challenges not only for the Administration but also for the
Filipino people. Another year where our collective commitment to persevere and to
stand shoulder to shoulder enabled us to overcome the trials set before us, thus
making the world admire and respect us all the more, she added.
In the first quarter of the year, as the government was starting its rehabilitation and
reconstruction efforts in Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental that were hit by
66

typhoon Pablo, the Aquino administration was thrown into a sudden crisis in Sabah
when Sultan Jamalul Kiram III invaded it to reclaim its as part of their ancestral right.
The February Saban incursion was followed in May by another foreign problem: the
fatal shooting of 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman Hung Shih-Cheng off the
Balintang Channel that sparked a rift between the Philippines and Taiwan, with
Taiwan imposing sanctions on the Philippines that adversely affected the state of
overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the island state.
Before the cloud over the Balintang tragedy could settle, the country was rocked by
the pork barrel or the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scandal that
continues to drag until now.
But it was the ber months that proved to be the most challenging, starting with the
September brazen siege of Zamboanga by the Moro National Liberation Front
(MNLF) founding chairman Nur Misuari and his men. The Zamboanga standoff
caused the displacement of more than 120,000 individuals and the destruction of more
than 10,000 homes. There were also 200 people who died and 270 members of the
MNLF had been captured by government forces while 24 of them surrendered during
the standoff.
October had been a month of natural disasters as typhoon Santi ravaged Central and
Northern Luzon while Bohol and Cebu had been rocked by a 7.2 magnitude
earthquake. But the biggest one came in November as super typhoon Yolanda
devastated Eastern Visayas.
But 2013 is not without its good news. Valte cited the Philippine economys positive
performance with the country able to get an investment grade in all three major credit
rating agencies: a BAA3 (positive) from the Moodys Investors Services; and a BBB(stable) from both Standard & Poors and Fitch Ratings.
The countrys GDP has also remained within seven percent: at 7.8 percent in the first
quarter; 7.5 in the second quarter; and seven percent in the third quarter, she said.
Peace with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is also within reach as three of
the four annexes had been signed this year: the Transitional Arrangements and
Modalities Annex, signed on Feb. 27, 2013; the Revenue Generation and Wealth
Sharing Annex, signed on July 13; and the Power Sharing Annex, signed on
December 8.
In terms of the governments efforts against corruption, this year a total of 157 cases
had been filed against smugglers; 195 cases filed against tax evaders; and plunder,
malversation of public funds and other charges filed initially against 39 individuals
and 34 more individuals in the second batch, including businesswoman Janet Lim
Napoles.
Our achievements only tell us that nothing is impossible to the Filipino people,
Valte said, citing the achievements of Filipina beauty queens and Filipino athletes all
year round.
Maraming mga Pilipinong namayagpag sa ibang bansa at nagdala ng karangalan
sa atin [A lot of Filipinos took center stage in the international arena and brought
honor to the country], she said.
These include Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao, and beauty queens Megan
Young (Miss World); Bea Rose Santiago (Miss International); and Mutya Johanna
Datul (Miss Supranational 2013), among others.
The Visayas in 2013: Growth and daunting crises
YEAREND REPORT
67

(Last Of Three Parts)
The country now faces the arduous task of post-calamity rehabilitation. Government,
in mid-November, put up the Foreign Aid Transparency Hub (FaiTH), an online
portal which gives transparency, and the public, access to check on and track the flow
of total cash donations and other aid received from donors overseas.
To date, the portal records P23.798 billion ($538.978 million) in total foreign aid
pledged, broken down into P2,800,149,541.20 in cash, and P20,997,886,527.88 in
kind. In terms of actual cash received, FaiTH accounts for P592.580,631.40
($12,337,478,00.00).
Substantially much now depends on the success of former Senator Panfilo Lacson
who was appointed by President Benigno S. Aquino III last Dec. 10 as Presidential
Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery in realizing his mandate to rebuild areas
devastated by the 2013 calamities. His tasks, other than addressing what needs to be
done where it concerns damage wrought by the massive earthquake and monstrous
typhoon that happened in October and November this year, also includes
rehabilitating Zamboanga after the drawn-out armed conflict last September between
a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front and government troops and the
Philippine National Police, caused deaths on both sides and among civilians, and
displaced over 100,000 people in that city.
It is a gargantuan task which Lacson hopes to finish some 80 percent of by June 16,
2016 when President Aquino ends his term.
Aquino has just signed the 2014 General Appropriations Act (GAA) which, according
to Senate President and Iloilo native, Sen. Franklin Drilon, gives Lacson the go-ahead
to get started in implementing his mandate. The GAA includes a P20- billion
rehabilitation fund and another P80 billion under the unprogrammed fund, serving as
standby resources for spending foreign grants and aid in cash for Yolanda typhoon
victims.
Added to these is Congress P13 billion calamity fund allocation and a quick response
P4.8-billion fund on top of the already approved P14.6-billion supplemental budget,
an extension of the validity of the remaining P12 billion in the calamity fund for 2013
to be extended to 2014. All these adds up to some P145 billion in total funds to be
made available in 2014 for governments Lacsons efforts in overall rehabilitation
of calamity areas.
In a media forum early this month, after signifying willingness to accept the
Presidents offer for him to assume the so-called rehabilitation czar portfolio, Lacson
said there are enormous challenges in the job he is taking on, foremost among which
are, politics, and the dynamics that need to be deftly handled and mobilized if he
is able to realize his objective, that is, to get things done.
For the sake of the Visayas, nay, the country, and the hundreds of thousands who lost
loved ones, property and livelihood, not a few wish all those involved in the daunting
task ahead- including Lacson all the success and luck they need to realize their
objectives. (With inputs from Mars W. Mosqueda, Malou Mozo, and Phoebe Jen

Papal Visit Asia 2014 and 2015: Pre-papal activities
Pope Francis visit set October 23-27, 2014 and January 15-19, 2015
MANILA, Philippines, July 28, 2014 (UPDATED) - Roman Catholic Church leaders
announced on Tuesday that Pope Francis will visit the Philippines on October 23 to
27, 2014 and January 15 to 19, 2015.
68
In a press conference at the Arzobispado de Manila, Archbishop Luis Antonio

Cardinal Tagle said his holiness Pope Francis will make his apostolic visit to Sri
Lanka on November 10-12, 2014 and January 12 to 15, 2015 and to the Philippines on
October 23 to 27, 2014 and January 15 to 19, 2015.
In a sign of joy, Tagle ended his initial statement with, Thanks be to God!
Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto, the current nuncio to the Philippines, described the visit
as a spiritual typhoon.
Tagle said the Vatican will announce the details of the visit before the end of the year,
but reiterated previous statements that Pope Francis wants to visit areas devastated by
super typhoon Yolanda.
On reports that Francis will hold a rally at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in
Manila, Tagle could only say that in past visits of popes in the Philippines, UST has
always figured as one of the sites.
Preparations are now under way for the Pope's visit, with the national government
also taking the lead.
Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said President Aquino has appointed
Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. as the lead point person in helping the papal
visit committee.
He said the government expects the Filipinos to accord [Pope Francis] the warmth of
their hospitality and manifest the fervor of their faith as they welcome the first pontiff
from South America.
The visit of Pope Francis also coincides with the 20th anniversary of World Youth
Day Philippines, which took place in Manila on January 10 to 16, 1995.
Asked what Filipinos can do to prepare for the visit, Tagle said: We could prepare
best by undergoing spiritual renewal, tasting the mercy of God, returning to God
through the sacrament of reconciliation.
He also urged Filipinos to engage in specific actions of mercy.
He reminded Catholics of the unique style of Pope Francis, which was already
obvious on the first day of his papacy.
He wants to journey with the people where they are, he said.
Tagle noted that when Pope Francis blessed the mosaic of St. Pedro Calungsod at St.
Peters Basilica back in November 2013, he took time to include Filipinos in his
prayers.
It was not just a blessing of an icon During that event, he said plainly that he was
one with the suffering of the people and that we should not be afraid to ask God:
Why? he said.
Filipinos should not be afraid to show Pope Francis their worth, he said. We show
him who we truly are: the resilience of Filipinos, [full of] faith, compassion, and
bottomless hope.

Caceres Archbishop
Emeritus Leonardo
Legaspi succumbs to
cancer
NAGA CITYThe archbishop emeritus of the Archdioceses of Caceres has
succumbed to lung cancer early morning Friday, August 8 at University of Santo
Tomas Hospital beside his brother and fellow Dominican priests, two months before
the 36th anniversary celebration of the Evangelical Protestant Christian and Roman
Catholic charismatic renewal movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide at
Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila on October 25 to 27 as part of the five-day
apostolic pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines. He was 78.
Caceres Archbishop Emeritus Leonardo Cardinal Z. Legaspi, O.P., D.D., the prelate
of the Catholic Church in Camarines Sur from 1984 to September 8, 2012, died after
battling for years and losing the battle against lung cancer, according to Father Louie
Occiano, director of Caceres Archdiocesan Communications Commission.
Legaspi found he had cancer three years ago (2011-2014) before he bowed out of his
duties to the present Archbishop Rolando T. Triona, who was installed on September
8, 2012, the 2028th birthday celebration of Mama Mary.
A life of faith: Cardinal

Edmund C. Szoka, former
Detroit archbishop, dies at
86
Former Vatican governor was a dedicated shepherd, close confidant of St.
John Paul II
DETROIT Cardinal Edmund Casimir Szoka rose from poor beginnings to become
one of the princes of the Catholic Church. His long career of service to the Church
ended Aug. 20 with his death from natural causes at Providence Park Hospital in
Novi. The cardinal was 86.
Cardinal Szokas body will be received at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed
Sacrament in Detroit at 2 p.m. Sunday, with visitation from 2-9 p.m. and the recitation
of the Office for the Dead at 7 p.m. A public visitation will be held from 2-9 p.m.
70

Monday at the cathedral, with a vigil at 7 p.m. A funeral liturgy will be celebrated at
11 a.m. Tuesday at the cathedral.
While his accomplishments were often larger-than-life, Cardinal Szoka carried
lessons learned growing up poor in hard-working Polish-American communities with
him as he served as parish pastor, chancery official, founding bishop of a new
diocese, archbishop of Detroit and in high Vatican posts.
Cardinal Szoka was the eighth ordinary and third archbishop of Detroit, serving from
1981 until 1990, after which he served for 16 years under Popes John Paul II and
Benedict XVI at the Vatican, including as head of the Vatican City State. Having
retired from active ministry in 2006, Cardinal Szoka had been living in Northville,
and had recently been active again in the life of the archdiocese he once led.
We mourn the loss of a dedicated shepherd, said current Detroit Archbishop Allen
H. Vigneron, who had served as a priest under Cardinal Szoka in the 1980s. For 60
years Cardinal Szoka gave himself totally to his priestly service of Christ and his
Church. He has gone home to the Heavenly Father with our prayers. May the Lord
give him the reward of his labors.
Cardinal Szoka considered his greatest accomplishment in the city of Detroit as being
the enormous transformation of Sacred Heart Major Seminary in 1988, according to a
2011 interview during the celebration of his 40th anniversary of episcopal ordination.
And although he headed up one of Americas largest archdioceses and achieved
acclaim for restoring the financial condition of the Holy See, he pointed to his role in
setting up the Diocese of Gaylord in northern Michigan when asked in 2004 about the
accomplishment that meant the most to him personally.
When I came there, I had no place to live, I had no chancery office, I had no
secretary. I had a territory, but none of the facilities I needed, Cardinal Szoka related
to The Michigan Catholic. God really helped me, because when I think back on it
now, it went much easier than you might think.
But more than anything, Cardinal Szokas legacy is one of a spiritual father, focused
first on strengthening the faith of the people entrusted to his care. His episcopal motto
To Live in Faith was one the cardinal took greatly to heart.
He was a deeply faith-filled man who had a passion for the priesthood, a passion for
the Church and a passion for the work of the Church, said Grand Rapids Bishop
Emeritus Walter Hurley, who served as moderator of the archdiocesan curia under
Cardinal Szoka in the 1980s. His fidelity to prayer was an extraordinarily critical part
of his life.
Archbishop Vigneron said even while Cardinal Szoka was in failing health, he made it
a point to be present during important events in the life of the Church, such as the
Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday and the ordinations of new priests.
He was a priest. He cared about the things priests care about, the archbishop said.
He wanted people to get closer to Christ. He wanted the Church to be healthy so that
people could find our Lord.
Cardinal Adam J. Maida, who immediately succeeded Cardinal Szoka as archbishop
of Detroit, said Cardinal Szoka was both feisty and brilliant. He said he was a
man of great inner strength and great faith, which motivated him.
He was a faithful priest. He was a faithful bishop. And he was a faithful cardinal.
And he lived it day and night, Cardinal Maida said. Church was his life. He wanted
to serve the Lord and serve the Church. He was a true friend, and one who cared, and
one who was generous and thoughtful.
A brilliant mind

Edmund Casimir Szoka was born Sept. 14, 1927, in Grand Rapids to polish
immigrants Casimir and Mary Szoka. His father had immigrated from what is now
Belarus; his mother from Poland.
Speaking in later years of his familys humble origins, Cardinal Szoka told how no
elements of a family coat of arms could be incorporated into his episcopal coat of
arms when he was made a bishop researchers could find no evidence that any of
his forbears ever had any such heraldic device.
In the 1930s, the Szoka family, including an older sister, Irene (who survives him),
moved to Muskegon as his father sought to find sufficient work to support the family.
Young Eddie Szoka became an altar boy as soon as he was old enough. He could also
be found occasionally playing at saying Mass in the familys backyard.
Later, while a student at St. Michael Grade School in Muskegon, he visited St. Joseph
Seminary High School in Grand Rapids. Seeing young seminarians engaged in
healthy athletic activities made an impression on him, and he entered the seminary in
1942, working odd summer jobs construction, driving delivery trucks, working for
a sand company to help pay the $250/year tuition, a hefty sum at the time.
He went on to study at St. Joseph Seminary College in Grand Rapids for his freshman
and sophomore years, transferring to Sacred Heart Seminary College in Detroit for his
junior and senior years.
The late Msgr. F. Gerald Martin, former editor-in-chief of The Michigan Catholic and
a classmate of Cardinal Szoka at Sacred Heart, once said, Eddie was a brilliant mind.
His mind was very capable of dealing with abstract philosophical thoughts.
Msgr. Martin, who died in 2001, had recalled his classmate as reed-thin, but able to
spend hours arguing a point of Church law or teaching.
The young seminarian went on to study theology at St. Johns Provincial Seminary in
Plymouth Township. Bishop Thomas Noa of Marquette, who had been rector of St.
Joseph Seminary, became the seminarians mentor.
Cardinal Szoka was celebrating his 60th jubilee as a priest this year, having been
ordained by Bishop Noa on June 5, 1954, to serve the Diocese of Marquette. His first
assignment was as associate pastor of St. Francis Parish in the Upper Peninsula town
of Manistique, but after 15 months Bishop Noa brought him to Marquette to serve as
his secretary and as chaplain to St. Mary Hospital.
Later, he was also named chaplain to K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base, and had to
apportion his time among all three jobs.
In 1957 Bishop Noa sent Fr. Szoka to Rome to study canon law at the Pontifical
Lateran University. He returned to Marquette in 1959, and resumed his hospital and
chancery duties.
When then-Fr. Szoka was named assistant chancellor of the Marquette Diocese in
1962, he also was appointed pastor of St. Pius X Parish in Ishpeming. The following
year he became pastor of St. Christopher Parish in Marquette, where he continued to
serve until being named diocesan chancellor on July 20, 1970.
Care for the distressed
He became Bishop Noas full-time secretary in 1961 though with additional duties
on the diocesan tribunal an experience that would lead him to streamline and
improve the annulment consideration process both in Gaylord and Detroit.
Besides computerizing the archdiocesan Metropolitan Tribunal in Detroit, thenArchbishop Szoka also abolished all fees for its services, which had been as much as
$300. Fr. (now Msgr.) George Miller, who was judicial vicar of the Tribunal at the
72

time, said Detroit was one of the first in the country to do away with fees, and said the
Tribunals work was something Cardinal Szoka was very proud of.
Cardinal Szoka would stand up and without hesitation, defend the process, Fr.
Miller had told The Michigan Catholic. In fact, I remember him saying in front of
most of the cardinals and the pope, if they wanted to see how its done, then come to
Detroit!
Bishop Hurley, who also served as judicial vicar under Cardinal Szoka, agreed.
People whose marriages are broken, he wanted to make sure they had the very best
the Church could offer them, Bishop Hurley said. It was really an expression of
pastoral concern for the people of the diocese.
As priest secretary to the bishop in October 1962, then-Fr. Szoka had accompanied
Bishop Noa to Rome for the first session of the Second Vatican Council, and
precisely one year later, he was ordained and installed as the first bishop of the new
Diocese of Gaylord, created by Pope Paul VI from 21 northern Michigan counties that
had been part of the Saginaw or Grand Rapids dioceses.
Because it was brand new, there was no cathedral or chancery, so Bishop Szoka
shared an office in St. Mary High School, Gaylord, with the schools athletic director
as he put together the campaign to raise $1.5 million to build St. Mary Cathedral and
its rectory and parish hall. An abandoned dance hall was renovated to house chancery
offices.
To fund diocesan operations there, he launched the Catholic Services Appeal,
forerunner of the greatly successful campaign he would later introduce in the
Archdiocese of Detroit.
Msgr. Anthony Tocco, who called Cardinal Szoka a close friend, was tasked with
leading the new stewardship campaign in 1985, and said it was the Szoka plan that
made the CSA a success, especially in financially struggling parishes.
I think he had a vision. The CSA was generally disliked by everybody when he first
brought it to Detroit, but he promised the priests it would be as good for them as it
was for the diocese, and that certainly turned out to be true, said Msgr. Tocco, now
pastor of St. Hugo of the Hills Parish in Bloomfield Hills. When I was at St.
Margaret of Scotland, the CSA saved us.
Cardinal Szoka also expressed deep concern over the racism and poverty that plagued
Detroit during his tenure. In 1985, he sponsored Detroit Mayor Coleman Youngs
membership as the first black member of the all-white Detroit Golf Club, a
sponsorship that had an awful lot to do with Youngs acceptance into the club, a
member said at the time.
The mayor had a lot of respect for the cardinal, and they had a great relationship both
personally and professionally, said Bob Berg, who served as Mayor Youngs press
secretary from 1983-93. Berg recalled the mayor being very impressed by a column
the cardinal had written in The Michigan Catholic expressing pain at the way AfricanAmericans had been treated at times historically in the Church, and said the two
shared a real warmth and a real friendship.
In 1981, Cardinal Szoka testified before a field hearing of the House Ways and Means
Committee in Detroit, telling committee members the government could not abrogate
its responsibilities toward the poor or expect churches to fill the gap left by budget
cuts.
These are issues of social justice, he said. The government simply cannot say
Well let the private sector take care of the poor.
73

But while Cardinal Szoka was known for getting things done as an administrator and
a leader, it was his faith life that sustained him, said those who knew him best. That
included a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother especially Our Lady of
Czestochowa, patroness of the Polish people and daily rosary.
He was a very prayerful man; people dont see that part of him because they dont
see him intimately when hes in his own chapel, said Msgr. Tocco, who stayed with
the cardinal several times while visiting in Rome. His pattern was always the same.
He would celebrate Mass early in the morning, and about 7 oclock in the evening he
would spend an hour in chapel. He always did that.
Msgr. Michael LeFevre, current rector of the Cathedral of the Most Blessed
Sacrament who served as priest-secretary for the cardinal, said he left a deep
impression on his priests, especially those like Msgr. LeFevre whom he
ordained.
His logo, if you will, as a bishop, was To Live in Faith. And I think that was
always the message that he would leave with us. Even though I dont think I ever
heard him preach on it, specifically, I think for us, the next generation, (he hoped) that
we would live in faith.
Clearly the popes choice
Summoned to Rome in March 1981 to meet Pope John Paul II, he learned he would
succeed Cardinal John Dearden as archbishop of Detroit. He was installed as
archbishop on May 17 of that year.
Msgr. John Zenz, former moderator of the archdiocesan curia, once said Cardinal
Szoka was clearly the popes choice for Detroit based on his closeness in spiritual
leadership with St. John Paul II.
Inspired by the charismatic leadership and vision of Pope John Paul II, Cardinal
Szoka tried to implement here in Detroit the energy and message of the pope
affirming the dignity of human life from the first moment of conception,
strengthening Eucharistic devotion, renewing priestly formation, focusing resources
on evangelization and working for social justice and an end to racism, Msgr. Zenz
said during the cardinals 50th jubilee in 2004.
On taking the helm of the Detroit archdiocese, Archbishop Szoka faced financial
difficulties to which he was able to apply his past experience, but also faced
challenges of enforcing Church discipline in two controversial cases.
In both cases one involving a woman religious who had become head of a state
agency that paid for abortions among its activities, and the other involving a priesttheologian who had co-authored a controversial book on sexuality he showed
himself willing to put principle above popularity.
No stranger to the media world, in September 1984 he was made chairman of the
board of directors of the Catholic Telecommunications Network of America (CTNA).
In 1987, it was Archbishop Szokas insistence that brought his friend and mentor
Pope John Paul II to Detroit, as the Holy Father made his historic visit that included
events in Hamtramck, at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament and at the
Pontiac Silverdome.
After being rebuffed in attempts to add Detroit to the Holy Fathers U.S. trip itinerary,
Archbishop Szoka refused to concede defeat. While in Rome in 1986, he found his
opportunity when Pope John Paul II invited him to breakfast one day.
I asked him, Holy Father, are you coming to Detroit? He didnt say yes, but he
didnt say no, Cardinal Szoka recounted. He continued to write, call and ask, until
the pope finally agreed in January 1987.
74

Strengthening the Church
The same year also saw Archbishop Szokas dedication of the Catholic Television
Network of Detroit (CTND), which helped the archdiocese reach thousands through
cable television. With his guidance, CTND was soon included in basic cable packages
around Metro Detroit, and by 1991 the network had about 750,000 viewers.
Cardinal Szoka was very supportive of that because he could see that it was a
powerful means of reaching people, said Msgr. Robert Humitz, who was in charge of
the station. He came at the right time and he had the right vision and thank God
he did.
In 1988, he was elevated to the College of Cardinals and oversaw the virtual reinventing of Sacred Heart Seminary through the addition of a graduate school of
theology, or theologate, plus a revamping of its undergraduate program and the
addition of lay ministry programs. Cardinal Szoka, who has a library named for him at
the seminary, is often referred to as its second founder for the monumental changes
he made to the new major seminary.
He wanted to have the very best seminary that would be possible, where people
would be prepared well for the priesthood. He believed that was the best way to do it,
and I think he was right about that, Bishop Hurley said.
It was, however, a year of great controversy sparked by Cardinal Szokas decision
after several years of studies and consideration to close several dozen parishes in
the city of Detroit that had experienced declining membership.
Difficult though the process was at the time, his decision was later praised as
necessary by his successor as archbishop of Detroit, Cardinal Maida, and others.
He was able to make hard decisions when they needed to be made, said Bishop
Hurley. He wasnt interested in just being popular; he wanted to do the right thing,
and whatever that brought with it, thats what he would do.
Bishop Hurley added the decision to close parishes earned Cardinal Szoka a lot of
severe criticism, but that the cardinal always considered every possible option, and
the Detroit parish closures were at the forefront of similar actions in dioceses across
the country.
I think there has often been the impression that Cardinal Szoka was not a very
consultative person, Bishop Hurley said. (But) I know of no one before or after who
consulted as broadly as he did before he made a decision.
Cardinal Szoka also presided over pockets of growth in the local Church, including
the opening of new parishes, including multicultural parishes such as St. Andrew Kim
(Korean) in Northville and St. Paul (Albanian) in Rochester Hills.
When in Rome
Cardinal Szoka left Detroit in 1990 to take up a new ministry to the worldwide
Church when the pope called him to the Vatican to serve as president of the
Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See. Faced with a budget crisis, he
assessed the situation and called bishops together from around the world to present his
plan for bringing the Vatican back to financial health.
The reforms he initiated stanched a 20-year flow of red ink, and set the course for
healthy balance sheets for the rest of his time in the position and for several years
thereafter.
The Church was much healthier when he was there in the Vatican financially. He
didnt deal with the Vatican bank, but he dealt with the different budgets that were
submitted to the Holy Father. Through him, those budgets came into the black, which
had hardly ever happened before, said Msgr. Tocco.
75

He was a very creative man, too, in so many ways, and I think that expressed itself
(at the Vatican), he added. He had an ability to draw together good people who
could help make decisions.
Norah Duncan IV, interim chair and associate professor of the College of Fine,
Performing and Communication Arts at Wayne State University, said Cardinal Szoka
wasnt all business, though. Duncan recalled a priceless meeting with Cardinal Szoka
in 1994, while preparing for a choral pilgrimage in Rome.
Duncan said he had arranged to meet with the cardinal while in Rome, but when he
called at his residence, Cardinal Szoka was out. He decided to go for a walk in a
nearby park, and said that to his surprise, there was Cardinal Szoka jogging in the
park! I called out his name He had three more laps to do. Then, continuing to jog
had me join him, and we both jogged to his apartment in Vatican City a cardinal
and a member of the Roman Curia running with a black man from Detroit.
Cardinal Szoka had also arranged for Duncan to attend Mass the following day in the
popes private chapel, and for Duncan to personally meet the pope afterward.
In 1997, the Holy Father called Cardinal Szoka to a different ministry, as president of
the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State informally as governor of
Vatican City State which put him in charge of a wide range of activities such as the
Vatican museums, and the microstates mint, post office and police force. In that role,
he oversaw numerous construction projects, including a massive underground parking
structure, as well as restorations of the museums and famed Michaelangelo artwork in
the Sistine Chapel.
Despite the high responsibilities, Cardinal Szoka said he accepted the appointments
with humility.
When I was in the seminary, my only ambition was to be a parish priest, he said at
the time. But a priest is obedient. I did not go asking for these jobs.
Throughout his years at the Vatican, the pope called on Cardinal Szoka numerous
times to represent him at events held around the world. The cardinals facility with
foreign languages helped him prepare to celebrate Mass in Japanese, Korean and
other languages on those visits.
Msgr. Todd Lajiness, rector of Sacred Heart Major Seminary who served as the
cardinals priest-secretary while in Rome, recalled a 1999 visit to Kagoshima, Japan,
for the 450th anniversary of St. Francis Xaviers arrival there.
He didnt speak an ounce of Japanese, but spent four months beforehand studying
Japanese (with the help of a Japanese priest) in order to be able to say Mass and the
homily in Japanese, Msgr. Lajiness said.
Msgr. Tocco, who recalled staying with the cardinal numerous times while in Rome,
said it was obvious how much the pope relied on and trusted Cardinal Szoka.
He was of immense value to the Vatican, and the one who appreciated him most was
John Paul II, Msgr. Tocco said. I would regularly call him on Christmas and Easter
to wish him a Merry Christmas or a Happy Easter, and probably nine out of 10 times I
never got ahold of him on that day because he was having dinner with the Holy
Father. Thats how close they were.
Active in retirement
In June 5, 2004, Cardinal Szoka celebrated the 50th anniversary of his ordination to
the priesthood at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
The nearly 900 people, including many priests, packed into the cathedral were a
testament to the lives touched in Cardinal Szokas many years of service.
76
On June 22, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI released the announcement that he was
accepting Cardinal Szokas resignation as president of the Pontifical Commission for
Vatican City State, as Cardinal Szoka was then 79 years old.
He returned to the Archdiocese of Detroit, saying in a June 30 interviews that year, I
miss Detroit. I missed very much living there, and I still miss it.
However, until 2008 he remained a member of five Vatican congregations the
Congregation for Bishops, for the Causes of Saints, for the Evangelization of Peoples,
for Clergy and Religious as well as belonging to the second section of the Vatican
Secretariat of the State.
Residing in Northville and aiding local parishes in the following years, Cardinal
Szoka also participated in social and fundraising events to help support the local
Church.
Archbishop Vigneron said he visited Cardinal Szoka in the hospital just before his
death, and said the cardinal was in good spirits.
At the end, the archbishop said, there was very much the sense of being in the hands
of God. And happy to move forward with whatever timetable God had for him.

Filipino Catholics flocking to social media dedicated to pope's visit
Facebook page and Twitter account attract growing number of followers
Manila, Philippines, September 12, 2014 - Large numbers of Catholics in the

Philippines are frequenting the official social media site for the visit of Pope
Francis in January, following the site's launch earlier this week by the Catholic
Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.
More than 11,000 people were following the Facebook page
"papalvisitph2015", which invites users to share a photo of their parish
welcoming the pontiff.
"If your parish has posted a photo welcoming the Holy Father to the
Philippines, share it with us and we will post it here!" reads the Facebook page
invitation.
If you can have your picture taken holding your message board or paper
with your message and/or artwork printed on it for the Holy Father, and then
shares it, it adds.
A Twitter account, @papalvisitph, has also been launched, with close to 200
followers so far.

A website dedicated to the Pope's visit, papalvisit.ph, also went live last
month. The site carries news, features, and statements related to the pope's
upcoming visit, and a video titled We are all God's Children, the official
theme song of the 2015 apostolic visit.
A digital clock counts down the weeks, days, hours, and seconds left before
the arrival of Pope Francis.
In a pastoral statement issued on July 7 the Philippine bishops' conference
said the underlying spirit of the papal visit to the country is "mercy and
compassion.
Pope Francis will visit the country on October 23 to 27, 2014 and January 15 to
19, 2015, after a visit to Sri Lanka.
It will be the third time a pontiff has visited the country after Pope Paul VI in
1970 and Pope John Paul II on February 1981 and January 12 to 16, 1995.
Jamie Riveras song picked for Papal visit
Singer Jamie Riveras We Are All Gods Children is the official theme song of
Pope Francis visit to the Philippines from October 23 to 27, 2014 and from Jan. 15 to
19, 2015.
In an interview with Mornings@ANC, Rivera shared that she called Archbishop
Socrates Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, to
ask if she could submit a song for the Papal visit.
Sabi ni Archbishop Socrates Villegas Sige, she said.
Rivera said she was thrilled in learning her song was picked by the Vatican.
Archbishop Villegas called me sabi It will going to be the official song for the Papal
visit, she recalled.
Riveras song carries the message of solidarity with the poor and mercy to the weak.
I wanted to show kasi the humility of the Pope. Kasi nga he is known for being
humble and very humane, she said.
Pope Francis will be the third pontiff to visit the Philippines after Pope Paul VI in
1970 and Pope John Paul II in 1981 and 1995.
We Are All God's Children
Music by: Noel Espenida
Lyrics by: Jamie Rivera
Do you see these children on the streets?
Have you walked the pavements where they sleep
Do you feel their hands, when you give them alms did you ever give them bread to
eat.
Have you seen their homes washed by the floods
while a mother tightly holds her child
Do you hear the wind of the raging storm?
Can you tell them where its coming from
Refrain:
Let us show our love and mercy with true kindness and humility
For God loves the weak and the needy just like you and me
79
Chorus
We are all God's children, we are all the same
He is calling us by name to help the poor and lame
And learn what life is really for, it's to know and love and serve the Lord.
Stand together and let's do our part
Hear their voices, mend their broken hearts
Choose to be brave, fight for their rights
Give them back their honor and their pride
Bridge:
Please do not be blind and just leave them behind
To struggle in darkness or give them empty promises
WATCH: We Are All God's Children, official theme song for 2015 Papal Visit
What better way for Filipinos to show their unity than through a song?
In the case of Pope Francis' visit to the Philippines in January, that song would be
"We Are All God's Children," penned and sung by multi-awarded actress-singer
Jamie Rivera, with music by Noel Espenida.
Rivera told GMA News in August that upon finding out about the Papal visit, she
called Archbishop Socrates Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference
of the Philippines, to ask if she could write a song for the event.
Rivera was the voice behind "Tell the World of His Love," the official theme song of
the 1995 World Youth Day, attended in Manila by now-Saint John Paul II.
"We Are All God's Children," she said, was inspired by the humility showcased by
Pope Francis.
It carries the message of "solidarity with the poor and mercy to the weak," Rivera
said. "We should help the poor with joy and humility."
As in "Tell the World of His Love," the official song for the 2015 Papal visit is "We
Are All God's Children," has actions and gestures choreographed by Yolanda Juan.
Rivera and Espenida have also made the music score of the song for the public's use.

Popes visit will

change Philippines,
Cardinal Tagle
hopes
Manila, Philippines, Sep 18, 2014 / 12:47 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis
visit to the Philippines in January will be an opportunity to lead the Church in the
country down new roads in the faith and in the mission, said Cardinal Luis Antonio
Tagle of Manila.
Pope Francis pastoral visit, centered on mercy and compassion, will undoubtedly
offer great opportunities to experience grace, to hear a call, to question our
comfortable surroundings, to value the poor, renew society, care for creation and live
honorably, the cardinal said in a letter to Catholics of the Philippines.
The Philippines will host Pope Francis next month October 23 to 27 and early next
year, January 15 to 19. The country hosted visits by Pope Paul VI in 1970 and St.
John Paul II in 1981 and 1995.
In his letter to the Filipino faithful, the cardinal recalled Paul VIs visit to the
Philippines. Cardinal Tagle was 13 years old at the time of the visit. At one point,
seeking to see the Pope, he was surrounded by thronging crowds of faithful.
I stretched my neck and focused my eyes in order to see him as the car in which he
was riding passed in front of us. The Popes serene gaze and attitude amazed me. That
image never left my mind, Cardinal Tagle reflected.
Eighteen years later in 1985, I registered at the Catholic University of America to
study theology, he said.
Because of his interest in the Second Vatican Council, he wrote about Paul VIs plans
for the council when the future Pope was still a cardinal.
I never imagined in 1970 that one day I would travel inside the mind, heart and
soul of this great Pope, who led the renewal of the Church in the modern world!
Cardinal Tagle said his studies of Paul VI and the Second Vatican Council led him
later on to serve and collaborate with Popes St. John Paul II, Pope-emeritus Benedict
XVI and now Pope Francis.
The Popes visit in 1970 mysteriously opened for me a door into the mystery and
mission of the Church, he said.
At the end of the papal visit, Cardinal Tagle concluded, we will surely share other
stories of how Pope Francis trip led us down new roads in the faith and in the
mission.

Study faith ahead of Popes visit bishop

MANILA, September 26, 2014A high-ranking member of the clergy is positive
that Pope Francis upcoming visit to the country will be an avalanche of
blessings to all Filipinos, but advises them to consider seriously studying the
faith.
In a recent interview over Church-run DZRV Radyo Veritas, Tarlac Bishop
Florentino Cinense called on the faithful to deepen their knowledge of the
faith in order to prepare themselves better for the apostolic visit.
Filipino Catholics who know next to nothing about Catholicism must now
learn everything a Catholic is supposed to learn. Its not enough that theyre
Catholics in name only. They can only share the faith with others if they know
what the faith is about in the first place, explained Cinense.
He stressed Filipino Catholics who have little knowledge of their Catholic
beliefs should see the occasion both as a challenge and an opportunity to
study the faith seriously.
According to him, it is high time the Philippines receive the spiritual blessings it
badly needs given the current sorry state of things.
We need some progressive moves in order to better our situation. That is why
I believe that the visit of the Pope will give us these blessings of unity,
fraternity, love for one another, and ultimately, the progress that we have
been looking for all these years, said Cinense.
The prelate shared all Filipinos, including those in power, must learn to love
one another for the sake of the common good, adding that unity is key to
national progress.
Based on data collated by the Catholic Directory of the Philippines in 2013,
about 76.18 million Filipinos, out of a total of 96.8 million, identify themselves as
Catholics.
Meanwhile, various Church organizations await the papal visit scheduled on
October 23 to 27, 2014 and January 15 to 19, 2015.
After Bl. Paul VI in 1970 and St.John Paul II in 1973unofficially, as Krakw
Archbishop Karol Jzef Cardinal Wojtyla,1981, and 1995, Pope Francis will
be the third Catholic pontiff to visit Asias largest Christian nation.

Report by Fr. Joselito Jopson
Business meeting to tackle

port woes
Local businessmen are calling for a cap on the volume of cargo load in the North and
South Harbors to ease port congestion and supported efforts to divert some of the
traffic to the secondary ports of Batangas and Subic.
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. said in a briefing Friday the
port congestion could be greatly eased by limiting the entry of shipments in the
Manila ports.
Chamber president Alfredo Yao said solution to the problem was one of the
resolutions the group would forward to President Benigno Aquino III in the upcoming
Philippine Business Conference.
He said the group would push the government to implement a set of resolutions
passed during the past business conferences, with port congestion and power supply
in the priority list.

Infrastructure development such as the proposed airport and education would round
up the list of resolutions during the conference.
We want to see more infrastructures in two years, said Yao.
The next PBC will highlight the competitiveness of local industries and the quality of
Philippine-made products and services.
We will focus on promoting the Philippine brand and creating the countrys niches
and value additions in the Asean and global value chains, on the infrastructure and
regulations that can ensure the global competitiveness of the products and services of
local-based businesses firms and enterprises, he said.
The conference aims to lay down the roadmap to strategically position Philippine
industries and enterprises to seize the Asean market, gain a foothold in the global
market and capture investments coming into the region.
AFP, PNP begin preparations for Pope's visit
September 29, 2014 10:22pm - The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the
Philippine National Police (PNP) have already started preparing for Pope Francis's
visit to the Philippines on October 23 to 27, 2014 and on January 15 to 19, 2015.
AFP Chief of Staff General Gregorio Catapang said in a report on 24 Oras aired
early Monday evening that the military is committing two battalions of its United
Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone (UNDOF) peacekeepers who have
been withdrawn from Golan Heights and those who had been training to replace them.
Joining the soldiers are some members of the PNP. A special task force headed by a
star rank PNP official will be formed for the Pope's visit.
Security threats
PNP's new spokesman Sr. Supt. Wilben Mayor said that the national police is looking
into reports of security threats in the country such as alleged recruitment in Mindanao
by Islamic State militants.
Aside from the Islamic State threats in the country, the PNP is also looking into
possible threats similar to "Oplan Bojinka" that was discovered a few days before
Pope John Paul II, now a saint, visited the Philippines in 1995. Muslim extremist
Ramzi Yousef who led the terror project was planning to assassinate the Pope back
then.
The plan was revealed when a chemical fire sparked in one of the rooms at Doa
Josefa Apartment in Malate, Manila that the terrorists occupied.
Aside from assassinating the Pope, "Oplan Bojinka" also involved plans to bomb 11
airliners en route to the United States and crashing a plane full of bombs into the
Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Virginia, USA.
The thwarted attack plan was said to be the basis of the 9/11 terror attacks in the
United States. Trisha Macas/JDS, GMA News

AFP more worried about crowds than armed groups in papal visit
By Alexis Romero (philstar.com)
MANILA, Philippines, September 30, 2014 - What worries soldiers about the visit
of Pope Francis to the Philippines this October 2014 and January 2015?
Its not so much about the armed groups who could sabotage the pontiffs
historic visit to the largest Catholic country in Asia.
The military is more concerned about the crowds who might mob the pope,
who is fond of mingling with devotees.
There is no such threat (from armed groups). Our concern is he might be
mobbed by the devotees, Armed Forces chief Gen. Gregorio Catapang Jr.
told reporters Tuesday in Camp Aguinaldo.
Catapang noted that the pope sometimes alights from his heavily guarded
vehicle just to greet the crowds. He said they are concerned that the pontiff
might trip off if he gets swarmed by devotees.
The people like him very much, the Catapang said.
But apart from possible mishaps, the military does not see any serious threat
that could disrupt the papal visit.
There is no threat to our pope. You know, our pope is very popular, he
added.
While securing important persons is a daunting task, Catapang said they are
looking forward to Pope Francis visit.
Pope Francis will visit the country from January 15-19 and is expected to go to
areas affected by typhoon Yolanda.
89

The visit will come amid concerns over the threats posed by the Islamic State
of Syria and Iraq, a terrorist group that is reportedly recruiting members in
different countries.
President Aquino has given assurance that the pope would be given
adequate security during his visit.
The military will provide two battalions to augment the security forces who will
secure Pope Francis.
Among those who will help safeguard the pope are the Filipino
peacekeepers who figured in a standoff with Syrian rebels in Golan Heights
last August.
PAPAL VISIT | Philpost issuing special Pope Francis stamps
By: Beverly Natividad, News5

September 30, 2014 2:34 AM
MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Postal Corp. is issuing special stamps to
celebrate the papal visit on October 23 to 27, 2014 and in January 2015, but first, it is
seeking public participation in the design.
According to Postmaster General Josie dela Cruz, Philpost will launch on Oct. 11 an
on-the-spot design contest.
The agency expects to print some 150,000 such special stamps for Pope Francis's
visit, or more than the usual 100,000 as in previous similar projects, because they
expect a huge demand for these stamps, considering this pope's popularity.
"We will launch an on-the-spot drawing contest. The top four winners will be
the official design of the stamps in honor of his visiting the Philippines," said dela
Cruz.
While the stamp's designs will be crowd-sourced, the souvenir sheet already has a
design. The souvenir sheet is the envelope in which the special stamps will be placed,
and the so-called First Day Cover (the bigger envelope that is considered a collectible
because it is sold only during the launch) will be designed with a special coinage
stamp with metallic foil something that is not usually used for a souvenir sheet.
The Stamp Committee still has to deliberate on the price at which the stamps will be
sold.
Besides the design contest, Philpost is also encouraging people to write letters to the
Pope, which it promises to deliver to His Holiness when he comes to Manila.
Philpost will install mail boxes for this purpose when it conducts the roadshow to
exhibit the first stamps that will be printed.
"Now, to drum up interest about his visit, on November 3 we will have a moving
exhibit. It's about the four popes for whom Philpost has issued stamps already. The
mail boxes will be installed wherever we will have the moving exhibit, same in
Tacloban, Davao, Manila or SM Aura."
This will be the second Pope Francis stamp in the country. In April this year during
the anniversary of his election as Pope, Philpost also printed special stamps featuring
the pope's image. Philpost partnered with the Vatican Post in the design and printing
of this earlier stamp.
Philpost usually issues special stamps for papal milestones: the visit to Manila of
Pope Paul VI in 1970; the visits in February 1981 and January 1995 of John Paul II;
the death in 2005 of Pope John Paul II; and his canonization together with Pope John
XXIII this year.
Since Pope-related stamps are not issued often, there are actually no Pope Stamp
collectors in the country, except for those who really collect all items related to popes.
90

"If ever they are not active members (of philatelic groups) and it's hard to find where
they are. Normally they are not stamp collectors but only souvenir collectors because
there are so few issues of papal stamps here for them to form a decent collection,"
said Rey Ong, president of the Philippine Philatelic Federation.
Still, according to Philpost, demand is high for papal stamps printed in the
Philippines. When they printed the twin canonization stamps this year, they received
numerous calls from Italy from people wishing to book orders.
Ordinary No More
Nothing can hinder JILs pastors and leaders from a deeper quest for God.
NO the cost of traveling many miles away from home to a place of a different
time zone
the trouble of studying in a school (even at an age past good eyesight and
sharp memory)
even the risk of being terminated from a fulltime and stable secular job.
That was what the sixty-eight (68) pastors, church coordinators and select
core leaders of the North American Hemisphere (NoAH) of the JIL
International Operations proved.
No ordinary students
Traveling from across the different parts of the USA and Canada, they
gathered at JIL Cornerstone in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from August 18September 1, 2014 for the Advanced Pastoral and Shepherding Ministry
Course of the Bro. Eddie School of Ministries International (BESMI).
What could have caused their zeal? Partly because it was the first ever BESMI
program outside the Philippines. But mostlyand primarilybecause of their
simple desire to be found efficient AND faithful as they carry out the delicate
calling of God in their lives.
That, they obtained... and more. Because BESMI is a Bible school and more.
No ordinary curriculum
With in-depth teachings on the most fundamental topics such as theology,
soteriology, hermeneutics and bible prophecies, their already gifted minds
were sharpened.
Through exhaustive discussions on the practical basics of pastoral skill and
practice such as church planting, church growth, concept formation,
outlining and homiletics, their already hardworking hands and feet were
strengthened.
Coupled with stirring lessons on the core principles of pastoring such as
shepherding ministry, leadership pitfalls and finishing well, their already
burning hearts were set ablaze.
Reinforced with firsthand accounts on the history and principles of this church
born from the very heart of God, their already surging bloods were pumped
up.
91

Then, through fresh impartations from God through the personalized talks of
their apostolic parents and spiritual leaders, Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva and
Dr. Sis. Dory Villanueva, their already uplifted spirits were stirred.
Laced with some fun-filled activities such as group presentations, Philippine
games and a Gala night, their already vigorous bodies were bolstered.
Finally, wrapped up with the mighty move and power of the Holy Spirit, their
entire beings were ministered to and empowered.
Holistic in every way, students were baffled. They never expected that a
discussion in theology or homiletics would make their eyes wet and red! Such
a balance between the heart and the mind demanded this declaration at
the end of the course:
JIL NoAH will never be the same again!
No ordinary accounts
But even while they were still halfway through the course, most of the students
already wanted to go home. That is, back to their respective churches
toapply what they have learned in BESMIstraightaway.
We were given a vision, but we didnt know how to fulfill the vision, they
would say. But now, were excited to go back and start making Gods vision
come alive!
Even NoAH Operations Director, Rev. Bong M. Gonzales, share the same
thoughts, Today, we do not only have the passion, we also have the ability.
Because we have spent time to learn.
Such was the impact of the BESMI training to them that, seasoned pastors
and leaders as they are, they were still encouraged and edified.
For others, it was having the DNA of the church they have been called to
serve ingrained in their bloods. Church coordinator Sister Cora Criss, who
came to know Christ in the USA, shared how badly she desired to enroll in
BESMI to know what the JIL Church distinctly is.
No ordinary outcome
And yet, if these were all that the 68 students gained from BESMIbeing
equipped in the ministry and being rooted in the JIL ChurchBESMI failed.
Because, as Bro. Eddie has put it, BESMI is not about Bro. Eddie, nor about the
JIL Church. BESMI is all about JESUS CHRIST, the God from whose heart this
church was born.
But BESMI did NOT fail. Because at the end of the course, all the 68 students
cry was: JUST TO PLEASE GOD.
With such a mantra as that, indeed, JIL NoAH will never be the same again!
92

Because they did not only enter in a Bible school. They encountered the God
of the Bible.
Aquino creates committee

on papal visit
By Marc Jayson Cayabyab, INQUIRER.net
President Benigno Aquino III has ordered the creation of a committee that will
coordinate preparations for Pope Francis visit this October 23-27, 2014 and in
January 2015.
In Memorandum Circular No. 72, Aquino created Papal Visit 2015-National
Organizing Committee (PV-NOC).
As instructed by President Aquino, all heads of the different government
departments, local governments as well as the private sectors are encouraged to
participate and coordinate all efforts to make sure that the visit of His Holiness in our
country this month and next year will be well organized and peaceful, Executive
Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa Jr. said in a statement on Friday.
The committee will be chaired by Ochoa, and vice-chaired by the Foreign Affairs
Secretary. Among the members are the Secretaries of the Departments of National
Defense, Interior and Local Government, Public Works and Highways, Health,
Transportation and Communications, Tourism, the Presidential Communications
Operations Office, Armed Forces Chief of Staff, National Police Chief, and
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman.
It will coordinate the efforts of the public and private sectors, including the central
committee of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, which will lead the
religious and civil plans of the visit.
Pope Francis is set to visit the victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda in Leyte,
Glenda, Mario and habagat in Metro Manila and Luis in Bicol and the 7.2
magnitude earthquake in Bohol.

Papal visit items issued
Caritas Manila on Thursday said Pope Francis displays and memorabilia are
now available as part of the preparation for the pontiffs arrival in January
next year.
Executive Director and Radio Veritas President Father Anton Pascual said the
Pope Merchandise campaign is meant to support Pope Francis advocacy
in the continuing mission to fight poverty.
Our Social Service and Development Ministry is the sole entity authorized to
release collaterals using the official logo for the benefit of the poor, he said
in Pilipino.
He said Caritas has developed items such as t-shirts, pins, decals and other
collectibles to promote Pope Francis visit.
Pascual said donations would be welcome apart from the purchase of
memorabilias to be gathered into the pool of funds together with other forms
of assistance to be distributed particularly during the papal journey to meet
93

the survivors of the earthquake in Bohol and Typhoon Yolanda in Visayas,
Agaton in Mindanao, Glenda, Luis and Mario in Luzon.
The coming of Pope Francis is the fourth pastoral visit following Pope Paul VI in
1970 and John Paul II in 1981 and 1995.
Pursue Peace and Be Holy, Without which No One Can See God
Happy blessed victorious anniversary to my JIL Church Worldwide family!
We are again at one historic moment in the life of this precious ministry born
from the very heart of God. After 36 years of experiencing monumental
growth and phenomenal expansion all over the world, we cannot help but
recall our humble beginnings.
It all started with a small Bible study composed of 15 students of the
Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Yet this seemingly insignificant
number merely became proof of Gods infinite love and great power. The
whole wide world is a witness to this truth. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we
have been able to reach even the remotest parts of the Philippines, as well
as, the farther ends of the earth.
Though the journey was not without great challenges and obstacles, we are
able to look at the bigger picture, and all we see is Gods amazing grace
poured upon us. He is certainly a faithful Master, true to all His wonderful
promises in His Word. All that we, as a Church, have gone through merely
affirm His word in Hebrews 13:5, Never will I leave you, never will I forsake
you. And with this same promise He sends us to the world now with a fresh
revelation message to direct all our plans and undertakings:
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the
Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root
of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of
food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit
the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though
he sought it diligently with tears. For you have not come to the mountain that
may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness
and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that
those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them
anymore. (For they could not endure what was commanded: And if so much
as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.
And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and
trembling.) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the
general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to
God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the
Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks
better things than that of Abel. See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For
if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much moreshall
we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose
voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more
I shake not only the earth, but also heaven. Now this, Yet once
more, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of
94
things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us
have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and
godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:14-29)
This divinely inspired theme for our 36th Anniversary certainly brings us back to
the core of our mission. As a church redeemed by the blood of Christ, we are
endowed with the identity as a glorious church, holy and without blemish. Our
calling is clear to walk in His statutes and please Him in all aspects of our
existence. This means only one thing: we are set apart solely for the Holy God.
Such is the reason why we never give up in our mission to bring all peoples to
the Kingdom of the Living God regardless of race, status, belief and religious
affiliations through the saving, healing, delivering, and transforming power of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is nothing that can stop us from reaching out to lost souls and
proclaiming the truth in Romans 5:10, For if, while we were Gods enemies,
we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more,
having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! We persevere
not only because we have been commissioned to do this but more
importantly, we feel the heartbeat of God for the salvation of fallen mankind.
His deepest desire is for all men to be reconciled with Him because this is the
only way to experience genuine and lasting peace. Our Lord Jesus Christ
emphatically gave us this promise in John 14:27, Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your
hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Apart from Him, peace can never
reside in a persons life. And since we know that it is Gods will for all to
experience this kind of serenity, we will untiringly offer this message to all.
Consequently, the peace which we desperately want for our country and the
entire world will forever be elusive if pursued without the knowledge of the
Prince of Peace. For us to truly attain a harmonious society, all we need is the
peace of God that is birthed from a genuine relationship with Him. Hence, our
relentless efforts to spread the Good News, proclaiming Jesus is Lord, to the
ends of the earth.
Therefore, as part of His glorious church, redeemed to be his beloved children
and faithful disciples, let us respond to Gods call to pursue peace and to be
holy! With passion and commitment, we pledge our entire being to God,
knowing that we exist solely for the pleasure of our Creator. And in this new
chapter of the JIL Church, we anticipate the greatest reward at the end of
the road to see Him face to face and remain in His loving presence
throughout eternity!
Again, happy, blessed, victorious and glorious anniversary to my JIL Church
Worldwide family!
All glory, honor and praise to the only One who is worthy our Prince of
Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ!

Pope Francis present at National Catechetical Month launch
JARO, Iloilo City, Iloilo, October 8, 2014 The launching of the National
Catechetical Month in Iloilo came with a twist with the presence of Pope Francis.
Before the Holy Mass Jaro Archbishop Angelo N. Lagdameo and priest concelebrants
posed for a groupie shot with Pope Francis at the entrance of he National Shrine
of Our Lady of Candles (Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral).
Pope Francis is the photo standee distributed by Catholic Radio Veritas 846,
encouraging people to have a picture with the Pope to promote the papal visit on
October 23-27, 2014 and again on Jan. 15-19, 2015.
After the Holy Mass, a floral offering was made before the tomb of the late
Archbishop Jose Maria Cuenco, to commemorate his 43rd death anniversary, and also
as a tribute to him for being the first Filipino Bishop of Jaro and the founder of the
dioceses Pius XII Institute of Catechetics, the pioneer catechetical school in the
country.
A short memorial lecture entitled Hagiographical Catechesis and the New
Evangelization followed at the Pius XII Institute Catechetical and Pastoral Center
given by Dr. Linda Tacorda, Ph.D., of the Jaro Archdiocesan Commission on
Catechesis and Catholic Education (ACCCE).
This years National Catechetical Month carries the theme Ikay kag Ako: LAIKO;
Ikaw, Kita, KATEKISTA! (Fr. Mickey Cardenas)
Hapag-asa joins Popes fight vs. hunger
MANILA, Oct. 10, 2014 In response to the Holy Fathers call to address
widespread hunger, a social worker invites all Filipinos to work together in reversing
the high incidence rate of malnutrition and starvation in the country.
We can always team up to put an end to widespread hunger. Here in the Philippines,
there are still many kids who often experience hunger and are pitifully malnourished,
said Finda Lacanlalay over Church-run Radyo Veritas in response to Pope Francis
call to make global hunger a thing of the past.
Lacanlalay, who is the national coordinator of Hapag-asa, a Church-backed program
that has been in the feeding business since 2005, faults rampant economic hardships
as the main reason behind the staggering number of Filipino children who are starving
and malnourished.
Hapag-asa is a combination of the Tagalog words for table (hapag) and hope (pagasa).
She added that the Church, the State, as well as the private sector must join forces in
order to address these issues more effectively.
She explained, however, that the solution required does not so much mean making
food available to more people, as ensuring them the accessibility of quality, nutritious
food.
Malnutrition is a result of prolonged hunger. That is to say, many young people go
hungry. This is where Hapag-asa comes in, because it is our mission to help them out
of hunger by giving them food that is not only sufficient, but nutritious, Lacanlalay
said.
According to her, Hapag-asa is open to collaborating with other organizations in the
country in the fight against malnutrition.
In late 2013, the Holy Father made a public appeal urging the faithful to support
Caritas Internationalis One Human Family, Food for All campaign which aims to
eradicate the prevalence of poverty-caused hunger.
96

The scandal that millions of people suffer from hunger must not paralyze us, but
push each and every one of us to act: singles, families, communities, institutions,
governments, to eliminate this injustice, the Argentine pontiff was quoted as saying.
Based on the Hunger Statistics of the World Food Programme, there are as many as
800 million individuals worldwide who sleep on an empty stomach. (Raymond

MANILA, Nov. 14, 2014 Pope Francis will bring his message of mercy and
compassion to at least 11 different venues in the province of Leyte and Metro Manila
during his Apostolic Visit to the Philippines on January 15 to 19, 2015.
Pope Francis is expected to arrive in Manila from Sri Lanka, the first leg of his Asian
trip, around 5 p.m. on January 15, and will go on a motorcade to his residence in
Manila.
The following morning, January 16, the pope will be officially welcomed by President
Benigno Aquino III at Malacaang Palace on J. P. Laurel Street in Manila and will be
followed with a meeting with the members of the diplomatic corps.
After the Palace reception, he will go on a motorcade to the Cathedral-Basilica of the
Immaculate Conception, also known as the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros for a Mass
with bishops, priests, and the religious.
After the Mass, Pope Francis will also have an encounter with families at the Mall of
Asia Arena in Pasay.
On January 17, the pontiff will visit some areas devastated by Typhoon Yolanda in
Leyte particularly Tacloban City and its adjacent town of Palo.
Pope Francis will offer Mass upon his arrival at the Tacloban Airport and will later
dine with the poor and survivors of recent natural calamities at the residence of the
Archbishop of Palo.
Among those who will be sharing lunch with the Pope are victims of the 7.2
magnitude earthquake that levelled several century-old churches in Bohol.
98

He will also bless the Pope Francis Center for the Poor and visit the Cathedral of Our
Lords Transfiguration, both in Palo, to meet with priests and the religious before
going back to Manila on the same day.
On January 18, the Pope have a brief meeting with the religious leaders and will meet
young people at the Pontifical University of Santo Tomas in Manila. In the afternoon,
he will go on a motorcade for the Concluding Mass at Quirino Grandstand in Rizal
(Luneta) Park.
Pope Francis will leave for Port Moresby on January 19.
Archbishop Socrates Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the
Philippines (CBCP), said that Pope Francis is bringing the joy of Gospel personally,
to us, on the five special days in January that we have officially announced.
But the bishops reiterated that the papal visit carries a message of pastoral love,
mercy and compassion and it is through the understanding and living out of this
message that the grace will flow.
I invite you all, my fellow Filipinos, to extend a hearty and warm welcome to our
Pope. But most importantly let us open our hearts to the message he will bring and,
even now, extend the love, mercy, compassion and kindness that he practices to one
another, that he may find in our country a blessed, kind, and grateful people, Villegas
said.

Message of the Archbishop of Palo on the Pastoral Visit of the Holy Father to
the Archdiocese of Palo
MAY Almighty God be praised! The news confirming the Holy Fathers coming in
January fills us with gratitude to God who has given us this very special favor. The
decision of Pope Francis to come to the Philippines, and especially to visit the
Archdiocese of Palo to show solidarity with the victims of the Yolanda catastrophe
was very unexpected, but is also very much welcome. Let us all pray that this
pastoral visit of the Supreme Shepherd of the Universal Church may bring hope and
encouragement, unity and peace to all so that we may rise from the destruction
unleashed by the fury of Yolanda to a better and brighter tomorrow.
We are trying our best to prepare for this great event and are very thankful for the
help and support of our leaders in the Church and in Government, and of many groups
and individuals. Manila expects millions of pilgrims. We, too in Leyte are expecting
hundreds of thousands to join us. We are preparing for them as well. Let us prepare
for this together, without bickering and without undermining each others
participation. The Philippines is now united in praying fervently for Pope Francis; let
us also contribute our own good will and efforts, in ensuring that the apostolic visit of
the Roman Pontiff may not be marred by any untoward incident and that it may truly
be a time of grace for our country and for everyone.
Many dioceses in the Visayas suffered much especially due to the Bohol earthquake
and the Super Typhoon Yolanda. As we suffered together so should we also rejoice
together, for in faith we understand that the Lord, in his mercy and compassion, does
not only try us and test our faith; He also continues to provide us with good things,
through Christ Our Lord.

Publication of the program for the Apostolic Visit to the Philippines of Pope
Francis
Distinguished representatives of television and radio broadcasters, of newspapers and

magazines and of internet communications;
Dear journalists,
Our encounter this evening opens the doors, so to speak, for the Apostolic Visit of
Pope Francis, already announced for January next year, from the 15th to the 19th, and
anticipates it with the publication of the program.
His Eminence, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Archbishop of Manila, his Excellency
Socrates Villegas, Archbishop of Lingayen Dagupan and President of the Catholic
Bishops Conference of the Philippines, and together with the representatives of the
various organizing commissions have illustrated the main aspects of the visit, the
places involved and the principal theme, Mercy and Compassion.
We shall share the experience of Pentecost with the people of Jerusalem, when the
apostles went out from the Cenacle and announced, with joy and the power of the
Holy Spirit, that Jesus is the Lord and Savior.
Then they went throughout the world, establishing the first Christian communities.
This will happen in Manila and in Tacloban and Palo with the physical presence of
the successor of Peter, Pope Francis, who constantly invites the faithful to renew their
personal relationship with Christ.
100

Pope Francis dreams of a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything so
that the Churchs customs, times and schedules, language and structures can be
suitable chanelled for the evangelization of todays world rather than for her
preservation (Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, n. 27)
He will go to the geographical and existential peripheries. We will listen to him as if
he were speaking to each one of us. Every tear, every sorrow and every hope he will
make his own.
The expectation of the Filipino people calls to him, and he will come.
May we experience an intense spiritual preparation for this encounter with grace and
mercy.

CBCP Press Statement on the Announcement of the Final Itinerary of the Papal
Visit
Today our official joy begins. We have had this secret joy in our hearts since the first
news of a visit by the Holy Father Pope Francis came out. But today we announce it
to you and to the world. Pope Francis is bringing joy of the Gospel personally, to us,
on the five special days in January that we have officially announced.
The days leading up to January 15 will be busy if not frenzied for people in the
Church and in Government who are tasked with preparing for the events. There will
be great interest and curiosity about the who, the what, the how, and the why of the
visit. There will be an appetite for the minutiae, the littlest and even the most trivial
things: what the Pope will eat, what he will drink, etc. But as, we, the bishops, said in
our pastoral letter last July, the visit of Pope Francis carries a message of pastoral
love, mercy and compassion and it is through the understanding and living out og
this message that the grace of joy will flow.
Pope. But most importantly let us open our hearts to the message he will bring and,
even now, extend the love, mercy and compassion and kindness that he practices to
one another, that he may find in our country a blessed, kind, and grateful people. Let
us all work and act together to make his visit a moment of grace for us and our
country.
When Pope Francis comes, he will show us the face of God. When the Pope sees us
Filipinos, may he see the living God in us.

Message of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle on the release of the program of the
Popes visit
TODAY the Vatican released the program of His Holiness Pope Francis pastoral visit
to the Philippines on January 15 19, 2015. We cannot contain our joy. We want the
whole Filipino nation to know of this good news.
The pastoral visit of Pope Francis will surely bring much blessing to all of us,
especially to the poor, the survivors of calamities both natural and human-caused, and
the victims of different types of injustice. The concern and solidarity of Jesus the
101

Good Shepherd will be palpable in the person and presence of Pope Francis. With
him, let us share Jesus love to all.
The Popes visit also calls us to personal and social responsibility. As disciples of
Jesus Christ driven by the Holy Spirit, we will be challenged to reach out with love to
the neglected and abandoned, to help heal the wounds inflicted on children, women
and families, to respect neighbors who differ from us, to form the youth in responsible
freedom, to value life and creation, and to imbue our culture and society with mercy
and compassion. With him let us spread the Gospel of hope with joy.
Our excitement needs to be purified and strengthened by constantly listening to the
Word of God, by frequently participating in the Eucharist, by sincerely repenting of
our sins, and by habitually doing acts of justice and love. With Pope Francis pastoral
visit, Gods mercy and compassion will embrace all Filipinos!

The visit (October 22-November 15, 2014)

The Purpose of the Apostolic Visit
The visit of His Holiness Pope Francis to the Philippines on October 23 to 27, 2014
and January 15-19, 2015 is indeed a great blessing to a nation whose covenant with
God has been tested in various ways, but which has also savored many triumphs in its
four centuries of Christian faith.
The spotlight will not be on the person of the Pope but on the communities devastated
by Haiyan, the strongest typhoon on record and Rammasun, whose destructive
path displaced four million people and flattened a million homes. Pictures of
survivors, carrying religious images and clutching their rosaries while fleeing in the
height of the typhoons devastation, are images of faith that have struck a chord in the
common humanity that brings the world together in times of tragedy.
Pope Francis will be with the people of Bulacan, Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite,
Laguna, Lucena in Quezon, Naga in Camarines Sur, Iloilo, Cebu, Tacloban and Palo
in Leyte as they recount their stories of survival, pray for their dead, and continue to
rebuild their lives. Our compassionate shepherd comes to show his deep concern for
our people who have gone through devastating calamities, especially in the Luzon,
Visayas.
He comes to confirm us in our faith as we face the challenges of witnessing to the Joy
of the Gospel in the midst of our trials, states the Pastoral Letter issued by the
bishops of the Philippines on July 4, 2014 to prepare the People of God for the
Apostolic Visit of Pope Francis.
The 2014 and 2015 visit is also in response to the invitation of civil authorities, which
affords the Holy Father the chance to meet the faithful in Manila, the nations capital.
Christians from all walks of life are urged to prepare spiritually for the Popes
forthcoming visit, embracing the mercy of God and becoming a merciful people,
concretely by extending an act of mercy every day and by frequenting the Sacraments
of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.
102
When the Pope comes, he will bring with him the message of the mercy and
compassion of God. When he meets us, may he see in us a people touched by the
mercy of God, living out the compassion of God, a people truly rich in mercy and
compassion and grateful to those who have shown mercy to us especially after various
calamities hit our country, the Pastoral Letter states.
Pre-Papal Activities (October 1-23, 2014)

AS the largest city in Metro Manila, Quezon City is known as an all-in-one

metropolis with its many historical landmarks, business and commercial hub, premier
tertiary institutions, and government offices. Of course, it is also home to thousands of
citizens.
Indeed, there is so much to celebrate in Quezon City what with decades of progress
and growth attained by past and present leaderships. Thus, in the citys lead-up to its
75th anniversary in October 2014, the local government has rolled out a year-long
series of activities for the landmark event.
The 75th-year celebration of cityhood gives us the perfect opportunity to show off
what Quezon City has to offer. This is why we are inviting everyone to become part
of our citys many celebrations as we collectively show our support and pride as
residents of this premier city, said QC Mayor Herbert Bautista.

Food Festival is slated on October 11. According to the mayor, this aims to promote
Maginhawa St. and its adjacent roads as food and tourist destinations of Quezon City.
Located near the University of the Philippines Diliman campus in Sikatuna Village,
the local government saw the areas potential when food establishments mushroomed
in the neighborhood, catering to students living on a budget. Food establishments and
offbeat shops offering unique but affordable items have become popular along this
long stretch, attracting food enthusiasts from north to south.
Besides the Maginhawa Food Festival, Quezon Citys six districts will have boodle
fights, concerts, street parties, and inter-district competitions to promote community
development and solidarity. There will also be livelihood projects and city wide
103

held, where participants can expect firework displays, marching bands, a 60-foot long
Quezon City airship, and a float parade.
The largest Zumba fitness outdoor party will also be held at the QMC in the same
day. This outdoor party aims to attract 9,000 residents to join an hour of non-stop
dance routines. This is an attempt to break the Largest Zumba Class Guinness
World Record that India is currently holding, which had 6, 671 participants.

Beatification of Pope Paul 6
Benedict XVI will attend beatification of Paul VI

Pope-emeritus Benedict XVI will attend the beatification ceremony for Pope Paul VI
on Sunday, October 19, the Vatican has announced.
The retired Pontiff is one of three living prelates who were elevated to the College of
Cardinals by Pope Paul VI. The other two-- Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns, the retired
Archbishop of Sao Paulo; and Cardinal William Baum, the former head of the
Apostolic Penitentiary-- are also expected to attend the beatification.
Pope Francis will preside at the beatification ceremony, which will be held in St.
Peter's Square on Sunday morning. On Monday, Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan,
Milan Province, Lombardy, Italy -- the archdiocese that Paul VI led from 1954 until
his election to the papacy in 1963-- will celebrate a Mass of thanksgiving at the
Roman basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Pope Francis Beatified

Pope Paul VI Today
Pope Francis on Sunday beatified Paul VI during a heavily attended Mass in
St. Peters Square, at which he said of the pope who closed the Second
Vatican Council that he led the Church with wisdom and a vision of the
future.
The pontiff said that Paul had noted that the Church, especially the Synod of
Bishops which Paul established, must observe the current world and social
situation to make sure the Church adjusts its methods to address the growing
needs of our time and the changing conditions of society.
Paul VI - who served as pope from 1963-1978 - was beatified, the first step
toward eventual sainthood, at the ceremony closing the extraordinary
bishops synod that has focused on the family, and the beatification marks
the third 20th century pope that Francis has elevated this year, after his
canonizations of John XXIII and John Paul II on April 27.
The Vatican-certified miracle attributed to the intercession of Paul VI, which
allowed him to be beatified, concerned a California boy whom doctors had
said would be born with serious birth defects, but who - after the mother
refused to abort the fetus - was born without any problems and is now a
healthy teenager.
For Paul to be made a saint, a second miracle will need to be certified by the
Vatican.
The former Giovanni Montini, as Paul VI, was the first jet age traveling pope
and the author of the controversial encyclical Humanae Vitae, which
established the Churchs current opposition to abortion and birth control
measures.
The Vatican said some 70,000 people attended the Mass, including former
Pope Benedict XVI, whom Paul VI had named a cardinal in 1977.
Pope Francis Beatifies an Earlier Reformer, Paul VI
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis on Sunday beatified Pope Paul VI, who died in
1978 after shepherding the church through a period of internal reform amid
an era of social and political change and growing challenges to the churchs
traditional teachings.
The ceremony closed a two-week assembly of bishops, known as a synod,
convened by Francis to discuss how the church can best offer guidance to its
flock in light of the complexities faced by many families today.
The synod report approved Saturday evening revealed divisions among the
bishops over changing church teachings on marriage and families. The
tumultuous closed-door discussions suggested that many bishops are
challenged by efforts to change traditional church teaching, such as that
regarding offering communion to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, or
the issues of cohabitation and same-sex couples.
In his homily Sunday, the pope quoted Pope Paul VI, who concluded the
work of the historic Second Vatican Council that introduced significant
107
reforms and changed how the church communicated with other faiths as
well as nonbelievers, the faithful and the modern world.
By carefully surveying the signs of the times, we are making every effort to
adapt ways and methods to the growing needs of our time and the
changing conditions of society, the pope said, quoting from a 1965 apostolic
letter written by Paul VI.
Change, Pope Francis said, is not to be feared. God is not afraid of new
things! That is why he is continually surprising us, opening our hearts and
guiding us in unexpected ways, he said in a message to 70,000 people
gathered in St. Peters Square for the beatification, including about 200
bishops and clerics who participated in the synod and were attending the
Mass.
Giovanni Battista Montini, cardinal of Milan, was elected Pope Paul VI in 1963
following another reformist pope, John XXIII, who became a saint this
year along with Pope John Paul II.
Paul VI was a pope of many firsts, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re told reporters
last week. He was the first pope to stop wearing a papal tiara to show that
the authority of the pope is not tied to temporal power, and when he sold
the tiara to raise funds, he gave these to the poor, a sign of his commitment
to social justice.
Aside from the reforms instituted by the Second Vatican Council, he cleaned
house, abolishing the pontifical court and simplifying the Curia, the Vaticans
administrative arm, which Pope Francis is also trying to reform.
Paul VI understood the importance of the arts for the church and
inaugurated the Vatican Museums collection of modern art.
He promoted Christian unity and ecumenical dialogue. He was the first pope
to travel to Israel before the Vatican officially recognized the state, and the
first pope to visit six continents during his 15-year papacy.
He is also remembered for his 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae (Of Human
Life), which reaffirmed the churchs opposition to artificial birth control.
The beatification followed the certification in May of a miracle attributed to
Pauls intercession: the healing in 2001 of an unborn child whom doctors
expected to be born with a number of birth defects. The boy, now 13, is a
healthy American teenager whose identity is being withheld at the request of
his parents.
A second miracle would be required for Paul VI to become a saint.
In his papacy, Paul VI tried to find common ground between the churchs
progressive and conservative elements, and after the Second Vatican
Council he instituted the Synod of Bishops to foster continued dialogue
among clerics and the Vatican.
Beyond a personal affinity with Pope Paul VI, the current pope has chosen to
bring closer to sainthood a man who had the ability to open a climate of
important discussion on many issues, said Alberto Melloni, a Vatican expert
and church historian. He is beatifying the idea that Paul VI acted in a holy
way when he opened discussion, instead of saying, Stop, this cant be
debated, he added.

Popes Homily at the

Beatification Mass of
Paul VI
Here is the translation of the Holy Fathers homily at the Celebration of Mass
for the Closing of the Synod of Bishops and the Beatification of Pope Paul VI.
We have just heard one of the most famous phrases in the entire Gospel: Render to
Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods (Matthew
22:21).
Goaded by the Pharisees who wanted, as it were, to give him an exam in religion and
catch him in error, Jesus gives this ironic and brilliant reply. It is a striking phrase
which the Lord has bequeathed to all those who experience qualms of conscience,
particularly when their comfort, their wealth, their prestige, their power and their
reputation are in question. This happens all the time; it always has.
Certainly Jesus puts the stress on the second part of the phrase: and [render] to God
the things that are Gods. This calls for acknowledging and professing in the face
of any sort of power that God alone is the Lord of mankind, that there is no other.
This is the perennial newness to be discovered each day, and it requires mastering the
fear which we often feel at Gods surprises.
God is not afraid of new things! That is why he is continually surprising us, opening
our hearts and guiding us in unexpected ways. He renews us: he constantly makes us
new. A Christian who lives the Gospel is "Gods newness" in the Church and in the
world. How much God loves this newness!
Rendering to God the things that are Gods means being docile to his will, devoting
our lives to him and working for his kingdom of mercy, love and peace.
Here is where our true strength is found; here is the leaven which makes it grow and
the salt which gives flavour to all our efforts to combat the prevalent pessimism which
the world proposes to us. Here too is where our hope is found, for when we put our
hope in God we are neither fleeing from reality nor seeking an alibi: instead, we are
striving to render to God what is Gods. That is why we Christians look to the future,
Gods future. It is so that we can live this life to the fullest with our feet firmly
planted on the ground and respond courageously to whatever new challenges come
our way.
In these days, during the extraordinary Synod of Bishops, we have seen how true this
is. "Synod" means "journeying together". And indeed pastors and lay people from
every part of the world have come to Rome, bringing the voice of their particular
Churches in order to help todays families walk the path the Gospel with their gaze
fixed on Jesus. It has been a great experience, in which we have lived synodality and
collegiality, and felt the power of the Holy Spirit who constantly guides and renews
the Church. For the Church is called to waste no time in seeking to bind up open
wounds and to rekindle hope in so many people who have lost hope.
For the gift of this Synod and for the constructive spirit which everyone has shown, in
union with the Apostle Paul "we give thanks to God always for you all, constantly
109
mentioning you in our prayers" (1 Th 1:2). May the Holy Spirit, who during these
busy days has enabled us to work generously, in true freedom and humble creativity,
continue to guide the journey which, in the Churches throughout the world, is
bringing us to the Ordinary Synod of Bishops in October 2015. We have sown and we
continued to sow, patiently and perseveringly, in the certainty that it is the Lord who
gives growth to what we have sown (cf.1 Cor 3:6).
On this day of the Beatification of Pope Paul VI, I think of the words with which he
established the Synod of Bishops: "by carefully surveying the signs of the times, we
are making every effort to adapt ways and methods to the growing needs of our
time and the changing conditions of society" (Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio
Apostolica Sollicitudo).
When we look to this great Pope, this courageous Christian, this tireless apostle, we
cannot but say in the sight of God a word as simple as it is heartfelt and important:
thanks! Thank you, our dear and beloved Pope Paul VI! Thank you for your humble
and prophetic witness of love for Christ and his Church!
In his personal journal, the great helmsman of the Council wrote, at the conclusion of
its final session: Perhaps the Lord has called me and preserved me for this service
not because I am particularly fit for it, or so that I can govern and rescue the Church
from her present difficulties, but so that I can suffer something for the Church, and in
that way it will be clear that he, and no other, is her guide and savior (P. Macchi,
Paolo VI nella sua parola, Brescia, 2001, pp. 120-121). In this humility the grandeur
of Blessed Paul VI shines forth: before the advent of a secularized and hostile society,
he could hold fast, with farsightedness and wisdom and at times alone to the helm
of the barque of Peter, while never losing his joy and his trust in the Lord.
Paul VI truly rendered to God what is Gods by devoting his whole life to the
sacred, solemn and grave task of continuing in history and extending on earth the
mission of Christ (Homily for the Rite of Coronation: Insegnamenti I, 1963, p. 26),
loving the Church and leading her so that she might be a loving mother of the whole
human family and at the same time the minister of its salvation (Encyclical Letter
Ecclesiam Suam, Prologue).
Pope Francis' Visit to the Asia and Oceania (October 23-November 12, 2014)
The Pope visited the Philippines on October 23 to 27, 2014 in time for the grand
prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary celebration of Evangelical
Protestant born-again Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal religious
movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide at Luneta, Rizal Park, Manila on

who arrived on October 23, 2014, three days after the Beatification of Pope Paul VI
on October 19, 2014 at the Vatican.
The five-day visit was the Popes first overseas trip after he led the canonization rites
in the third week of October of the same year.

Tagle: Church on
track for Mass
March 11, 2014 - Despite scaling down the templete to be built in the Rizal Park, the
Manila Archdiocese has all the resources it needs in hosting the DWXI Prayer
Partners Foundation International Family Appointment with El Shaddai was held for
the grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary thanksgiving celebration
of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic
renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide and annual birthday
celebration of television evangelist and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder,
president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva this October.
Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma assured that preparations for the national thanksgiving
mass are on right.
Were on schedule. We will not postpone the Thanksgiving Mass, he said in jest.
Palma said physical preparations are the most laborious part with a lot to be done.
Last month the committee on venue called for donations of filling materials to level
the site the raise the foundation of the templete by several feet.
Actual construction of the stage of Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park has not yet
begun as site development is still ongoing.
Palma said this was no cause for worry. He said he met last Friday with construction
companies who asked how they could help. One of them, National Parks
Development Committee, earlier assured it would develop the entire site for the
historic event.
While they will have to make do with what they have, the Catholics Bishops
Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president said they expect some more
donations especially for the finishing touches.
The DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Family Appointment with El

celebration of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic
charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide and
annual birthday celebration of television evangelist and Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva
on October 25-27 follows months after the canonization of Blessed John the 23rd and
John Paul the Second on April 27, 2014 and the national pilgrimage around the
country.
Organizers of the Thanksgiving Mass are looking for donors of filling and
construction materials to help backfill the 29-hectare lot to be used as the venue for
the activity.
The cost of building the templete was scaled down from P10 million to P5 million.
The Manila Archdiocese said it has so far gathered more than P30 million in
donations for the Mass or about half of their P60 million target.
Temporary shelters will be provided by the Manila City government for pilgrims
attending the Triduum masses or three-day masses before the October 26 event.

Pope to lead 300,000 participants at Luneta.
The Luneta will be transformed into a "Millennium Theme Park" on October 25,
starting at 3 p.m., when at least 300,000 participants will keep overnight vigil
wit Pope Francis.
The Holy Father is expected to be with the youth until midnight for evening of
prayers, cultural presentations and concerts.
World Youth Day

Liturgies to Feature
Filipino Culture, Customs
March 9, 2014 - Liturgical innovations proposed by Filipino youth to make liturgies at
the Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary festival celebration in Manila more a Philippine
expression of faith have all been approved by the Vatican.
Indigenous materials and customs will be incorporated into three Filipino liturgies
during the October 23-27 Papal Visit activities, including the Mass October 26 at
which Pope Francis will preside, according to Sister Margaret Tapang.
The Pious Disciples of the Divine Master nun and WYD liturgical coordinator said
during a forum here March 1 that the ideas came from the youth, who wanted a
celebration that is "alive, youthful, colorful, and dynamic with movements.
Msgr. Socrates Villegas, in charge of the committee for WYD preparations, noted that
they were somewhat surprised when the Vatican retained all the liturgical
innovations the committee proposed.
The Filipino liturgies for the popes visit could pave the way for replacing much of
the European influence in the local Churchs liturgical celebrations, said the Manila
archdiocesan vicar general.
The young people want the celebration to be an expression of their faith and to lead
them to prayer and communion with God and one another, said Sister Tapang, citing
several of the innovations.
To announce the beginning of the opening liturgy on September 21, she said, the
sounding of the tambuli, a trumpet made of carabao horn, will replace the tolling of
Church bells.
The tambuli, used long before the arrival of the Spaniards to gather the people in the
community, will also replace the bells during the Consecration.
112

Instead of the customary bronze censer, a palayok (pot) made from lahar, mixture
volcanic clay and ash, from Mt. Pinatubo in central Luzon will be used. An
earthenware palayok is traditionally used for cooking rice.
Mass lectors will seek the blessing of the celebrant by performing the mano po, the
reverential gesture of placing an elders hand to ones forehead, instead of the usual
half-bow, Sister Tapang explained.
Youth in native costumes accompanied by sulo (torch) bearers will perform
liturgical dances during certain parts of the Mass and flower petals will also be
strewn, as in the Philippine Santacrusan (blessed cross) processions.
At the youth vigil October 25 the Pope is to attend, the Madonna of Antipolo, Our
Lady of Peace and Good Voyage will be enthroned, Sister Tapang said.
This centuries-old image of the Blessed Mother carved in dark wood is enshrined in
the nearby town of Antipolo and widely venerated by Filipinos.
The concluding Mass October 26 will include the enthronement of the Santo Jude
(Holy Child) of Cebu, accompanied by ati-atihan dancers. Ati-atihan is the central
Philippine tribal religious ritual honoring the Saint Jude.

Repairs at Quirino Grandstand for Popes visit to be completed next month
Repairs on the Quirino Grandstand in preparation for Pope Francis' visit to the
Philippines in January will be completed next month, according to a report on GMA
7s news program 24 Oras on Thursday.
The Pope will hold a mass at the Quirino Grandstand, where six million are expected
to attend, including five representatives from each of 3,126 dioceses worldwide.
The government has allotted P20 million for the renovation of Quirino Grandstand
which includes repair works for the back stage that will serve as the holding area for
Pope Francis and for the VIP lobby for Vatican officials, the first family and other
dignitaries as well as celebrity guests.
Meanwhile, Fr. Anton Pascual, a member of the organizing committee for the Papal
Visit, said the Church is very satisfied with the preparations of the government in
terms of security."
He, however, noted that Pope has asked Filipinos to donate to victims of calamities
and spending it for the preparations.
Gusto ng Santo Papa na paggastusan ng malaki... ang mas nais niya kung meron
tayong mai-abuloy, ay ibigay natin sa biktima ng kalamidad, he said. Kathryn

Popes lunch mates: 30

Yolanda, quake victims
250 survivors of Super Typhoon Yolanda, Agaton, Glenda, Luis, Mario and the 7.2magnitude earthquake will have a lunch date with Pope Francis when he visits
Tacloban City and Palo town in Leyte on Jan. 17.
Fr. Chris Arthur Militante, media coordinator for the papal visit of the Archdiocese of
Palo, told Radio Veritas that their Episcopal Sees relief and rehabilitation unit is
selecting the papal lunch mates and the selection would be fair.
They are trying their best to choose people, not only those who had survived
Yolanda but even other calamities, so that the event will be well-represented,
Militante said.
Cebu and Bohol, which were struck by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake on Oct. 15 last
year, are expected to send representatives to the lunch with the Pope.
115
Priests from the Archdiocese of Palo also reminded the public yesterday that the focus
of the papal visit is to comfort survivors of calamities, including provincial officials as
they are also victims of Yolanda.
The priests made the comment in reaction to reports that Palo Archbishop John Du
said that Pope Francis expressed his desire to stay away from politicians and very
important persons.
Fr. Amadeo Alvero, social communications coordinator for the papal visit, explained
that Pope Francis is not just a religious leader but also a head of state, so he would be
given an official welcome by political leaders of the places he would visit in October
2014 and January 2015.
Militante said perhaps what Du meant was that the pontiff would be visiting the
country as the Churchs pastoral leader and his focus was to console and comfort
Yolanda survivors. He noted that Dus statement was just taken out of context.
The pope loves all of us, Alvero added.
Grandstand repair ongoing
Meanwhile, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has allotted
more than P20 million for the repair and rehabilitation of Quirino Grandstand and
Rizal Park in preparation for Pope Francis mass there on Jan. 18.
As of last week the DPWH has completed 30 to 40 percent of repairs, according to
DPWH-National Capital Region director Reynaldo Tagudando.
The interior of the Quirino Grandstand was repainted and the cable and electrical
wiring and plumbing system were fixed.
A portion of the budget would also be used for portable toilets and chairs, for
construction of the platform where the chairs would be installed, and construction of a
bridge that would lead to the stage.
According to the DPWH, capacity of the north and south wings of Quirino
Grandstand is 2,100 people, 500 priests in front of the stage, and 250 for seating.
The parade ground could accommodate 5,000 people while the rest of the crowd
could occupy the grassy area at the grandstand.
Tagudando said the DPWH is expecting about 5 million people to attend the mass.
Since Rizal Park can only accommodate 1.2 million, people are expected to spill over
to Taft Avenue, T.M. Kalaw, Port Area, Padre Burgos Drive, Jones Bridge, McArthur
Bridge, Quezon Bridge, Ayala Bridge, Anda Circle and Manila Baywalk.
The DPWH might install speakers and LED screens for the benefit of those positioned
far from the grandstand.
Tight security
Security will be very tight during the popes visit in Leyte, according to Militante.
Fr. Rex Ramirez, local communications coordinator for the papal visit, said
cellphones could be banned, especially for people privileged to get inside the secured
perimeter at the Tacloban airport where the Pope would say mass on Jan. 17.
Ramirez said the security group is still deciding how many people the secured
perimeter can accommodate. With Lalaine Jimenea

Disabled to have special

access to Mass with Pope
Persons with disabilities (PWDs) will have special access to the Mass at the Luneta
which Pope Francis will celebrate when he comes to the country in October and
January.
No ticket will be sold for any event in relation to the papal visit, but to emphasize the
theme of mercy and compassion, there are certain individuals who will be given
special identification cards, special entrance during the Luneta Mass, said Fr. Marvin
Mejia, Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) secretary general,
during the first weekly press briefing for the papal visit on Thursday.
Aside from the bishops, PWDs will have special access to the event. Were asking
each of the 86 archdioceses and dioceses to send five PWDs from their respective
117
jurisdictions and to provide logistics, including accommodations and transportation,

so they can join the Luneta Mass, Mejia said.
Each archdiocese and diocese will be asked to send 20 priests and five PWDs or those
belonging to the poor sector to the Luneta Mass on Jan. 18, which will formally
conclude Pope Francis apostolic visit to the country before he heads back to the
Vatican the following day.
4-6 million expected
Authorities expect 4 to 6 million people at the Eucharistic celebration at the Luneta.
The Catholic Church, meanwhile, said it was accepting donations in cash and in kind
for the papal visit.
The Church is open to accepting donations from individuals, families and institutions
to help defray the expenses for the visit, said Fr. Anton Pascual, chair of the papal
visit media relations subcommittee and president of Church-run Radio Veritas.
But its important that we follow the request of the Vatican not to spend a lot for the
Popes visit, and the Pontiff would prefer that the money benefit the poor and the
victims of calamities, including survivors of Supertyphoon Yolanda, Agaton,
Glenda, Luis, Mario and the Bohol earthquake, Pascual added.
A source, who refused to be identified because he was not authorized to talk to the
media, said they were trying to limit the expenses for the papal visit to P70 million.
Those who wish to make a donation may address their checks to RCAM-Papal Visit
and deposit them in the following bank accounts: Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI)
current account No. 0051-0556-75 or Security Bank (SB) savings account No. 0061015085-001.
Donors are then advised to call the Papal Visit Finance Committee at tel. 5272995 so
their donations could be properly acknowledged.
Donors will automatically receive a souvenir since the receipt to be issued to them
will be a commemorative receipt bearing the official logo of the Papal Visit 2015.
Donations in kind will also be accepted.
Mejia said the Church needed things like LCD screens, that is one of the expenses
the Church would have.
No fundraising in dioceses
There are many aspects of the papal visit that we need funding for, but as mentioned,
this should not be a fundraising event. The bishops are also donating from their own
pockets, from their own personal accounts, not from the dioceses because there is no
fundraising in the dioceses, Mejia said.
The Papal Visit Finance Committee is coming up with a budget and a summary of
what the needs are, he added.
He said the finance committee is also coming up with a project and a list of the things
needed for the papal visit.
Pope Francis will be in the country from October 23 to 27 and Jan. 15 to 19.

No room in the inn:

Ermita hotels almost fully
booked for Pope visit
There's no more room in the inn. This Christmas saying may now apply to Manila's
Ermita tourist district as Pope Francis' visit to the Philippines draws closer.
Business operators in Manila's tourist district said hotels and inns are almost fully
booked on dates the Pope is in Manila, a report on GMA-7's morning show Unang
Hirit reported Tuesday.
Citing information from the Ermita Malate Business Operators Association, the report
said many reservations had been made in hotels and inns especially for October 24 to
26, 2014 and Jan. 17 and 18, 2015.
On October 24 and January 16, Pope Francis is expected to meet religious leaders and
young people at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.
In the afternoon, he will go on a helicopter for the Concluding Mass at Quirino
Grandstand in Rizal Park. He is to depart the Philippines October 27 for Papua New
Guinea.
The television report said there is now no more vacancy at the historic Luneta Hotel,
where members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines are booked.
On the other hand, hotels and inns at Tacloban City in Leyte are also fully booked in
time for the papal visit.
Tacloban is one of the areas hit hardest by super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), when it
devastated Visayas in November 2013 and left at least 6,300 dead.
18k MPD personnel
Meanwhile, the Manila Police District will deploy 18,000 personnel in the city to
secure the papal convoy.
The Pope is due to arrive October 23 and again Jan. 15 for his visit to Metro Manila,
Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu, Davao and Leyte.

6M expected to attend
papal Mass at Luneta
From 4 to 6 million people are expected to attend the Eucharistic celebration
to be led by Pope Francis at Quirino Grandstand in Manila on October 26,
2014 and Jan. 18 next year.
The Luneta Mass will formally conclude the Popes apostolic visit to the country
before he heads to Port Moresby the following day, January 19, 2015.
The estimate is between four and six million people in Luneta We are expecting
streets and roads to be filled with people, Ambassador Marciano Paynor, a member
of the papal visit central committee, said in a post on the Catholic Bishops
Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) website.
Paynor said the estimate did not include curious people who would line up the
streets of Manila during the papal motorcade and those who would attend another
Mass near the Tacloban City airport in Leyte province.
The former Philippine ambassador to Israel, who helped arranged Pope John Paul IIs
visit in 1995, said one of the challenges facing the organizers was the crowd expected
to force their way close to the Pontiff, putting his safety at risk.
Paynor has appealed to the public to avoid a people surge toward the Pope to allow
him to keep his schedule.
Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa assured the public that the government was
making the necessary preparations to ensure the safety of the Pontiff while he is in the
country.
I think everybody knows Luneta can accommodate millions so we expect that it will
be fully occupied. Also the roads leading to Luneta I think will be crowded, Ochoa
said in a press briefing last week.
We expect a lot of people. In the Visayas, particularly in Tacloban and Palo, we also
expect a lot of people because those are populated areas and there are a lot of devotees
there. We dont have an exact figure but we are prepared based on the estimates that
we have.
Spiritual transformation
The last papal visit to the Philippines, that of Pope John Paul II in 1995, attracted
around 5 million peoplethe largest papal crowd in historyaccording to the
Guinness World records.
Themed Mercy and Compassion, Pope Francis apostolic visit to the Philippines
from October 23 to 27 and Jan. 15 to 19 is a rare event which local Church officials
predict will give Filipino Catholics a much-needed spiritual transformation.
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle would not want to give an estimate
on the number of people expected to attend the Luneta Mass. He, however, urged the
faithful, including those who would not be able to go to the areas to be visited by the
Pope, to prepare spiritually for the visit.
By invitation only
The Manila Cathedral rector, Msgr. Nestor Cerbo, said Church officials were
considering all aspects in preparing for Francis visit.
120

The Pontiff is scheduled to deliver a homily during Mass at the cathedral in
Intramuros on Jan. 16, the second day of the visit. Expected to attend the Mass are
bishops, priests and religious women and men.
Citing the cramped space at the cathedral, organizers have decided to make the papal
Mass a by invitation only event, limiting the number of guests to 10 priests and 5
religious sisters per diocese.
Video walls
Cerbo said the organizers were thinking of setting up video walls outside the
cathedral, which can only accommodate some 2,000 people.
Francis will celebrate Mass in English but the responses will be in the same. He will
also speak in English when he addresses the people.
In Filipino dialects
The Argentinian Pope speaks six languagesSpanish, Italian, Latin, French, German
and English. He spoke in English during his recent visit to South Korea.
Cerbo said either the songs or the prayers of the faithful during the Eucharistic
celebration in Manila Cathedral might be delivered in the same.
Apart from the Masses at Luneta and in Manila Cathedral, the Holy Father will
also celebrate Mass in Tacloban.

Bamboo Altars Designed

for Popes Masses in
Manila
September 25, 2014 - Two specially-designed altars made of bamboo and other
indigenous materials are being readied for the two public Masses Pope Francis is to
celebrate during his scheduled visit to Manila on October 23 to 27 and January 15 to
19, 2015.
A papal Mass this Saturday, October 25 for the 420th anniversary of the founding of
the four oldest Philippine dioceses, Manila archdiocese among them. The pope will
also preside Sunday, October 26 at the 36th founding anniversary thanksgiving
celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Movement at Rizal Park.
Altars for both Masses are being designed by Filipino architect Francisco Manosa,
who also designed the altar used for the beatification rites of Filipino martyr Saint
Lorenzo Ruiz during the late Pope John Paul 2s first visit in February 1981 and
second visit in January 1995 for the Tenth World Youth Day.
Manosa says the primary material used for the altars will be bamboo, an indigenous
and the fastest-growing grass found all over the country.
Construction of the two altars, estimated to cost 16 million pesos (US$665,000),
setting of flags ($684.95) and religious items, P385, 997,473.93 (US$8,596,825.70),
is being funded by the Philippine government.
121
Set in the midst of a 10-hectare field on land reclaimed from Manila Bay, the altar
design for the Anniversary Mass features an airy bamboo roof supported by columns
clad in bamboo.
According to Manosa, the structure resembles the square-type bahay kubo, a typical
Filipino home, which will express to the pope how much Filipinos welcome him into
their individual homes as well as into their hearts.
While Manila was founded as an archdiocese in 1595, the Archdioceses of Caceres,
Cebu and Nueva Segovia are celebrating their foundings that year as dioceses,
Caceres as the Diocese of Nueva Caceres.
122
The bamboo altar for the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide 35th Founding
Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration Mass at Quirino Grandstand; Rizal Park
features an arch, a common site at Philippine fiestas, and will be topped with an
embroidered cloth canopy. The altar table will be made of wood and bamboo.
Aisles radiating from the altar into the congregation will be lined with bamboo poles
and decorated with fresh plants and flowers.
Anticipating mammoth crowds for the two papal Masses, about 5 million Communion
hosts are being prepared, says Rev. Fr. Genaro O. Diwa, director of Manila
archdioceses liturgical commission.
Rev. Fr. Diwa said at a forum last June 6, 2014 on the popes visit after the first
anniversary of March 13 installation that about 5,000 lay Eucharistic ministers will
assist the 5,301 archbishops, bishops and cardinals, 42,104 deacons and 414,313
priests concelebrants from around the 226 countries at the Mass at the Rizal Park on
October 26.
Among the cardinals and bishops will be those attending the eleventh general
assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences October 21 to 30, 2014 in
Makati City, Metro Manila. The federation is marking its 45th anniversary.
Filipino seminarians will assist the pope as altar servers and acolytes, though the pope
will also bring his own assistants, Father Sanchez said.
For the Mass at Luneta, about 36,000 groups of choirs have been tapped from
different parishes, seminaries, colleges, schools and universities from 4 countries.
Jesuit Father Manoling Manuel V. Francisco, S.J. and Benedictine Father Don
Benildus Maramba, O.S.B. is in charge of the liturgical music.

Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. on

Monday underscored the importance of unity and solidarity in covering the highly
anticipated visit of Pope Francis in the country next month.
Keynoting the Papal Visit Communications Workshop at Kalayaan Hall in
Malacaang Palace, Secretary Coloma said the pontiffs visit carries a message of
mercy and compassion to all Filipinos, regardless of denomination.
We will agree that as we cover the papal visit, we must endeavor to reach out to all
Filipinos, especially the last, the least and the lost, he told representatives of various
media agencies who attended the workshop.
He said the papal visit must be seen as inclusive rather than exclusive, as all
124

religious groups are welcome to participate in programs scheduled for the Popes visit
from October 23 to 27 and January 15 to 19.
All Filipinos of all faith stand in solidarity for peace and prosperity for all. Even
while acknowledging and honoring our differences, we can work together for a more
humane and just society, he said.
Coloma cited the message of Pope Francis where His Holiness reflected on the
parable of the Good Samaritan, which he called a parable about communication.
He said Pope Francis underlined the importance of communication in bringing people
closer and creating a sense of neighbourliness."
The Palace official said the visit of Pope Francis should strengthen faith, unity and
cooperation among Filipinos.
Aside from Coloma, other guest speakers at the workshop were Father Francis Lucas,
president of the Catholic Media Network; Father Lito Jopson, executive secretary of
the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Episcopal Commission
on Social Communications and Mass Media; and Father Nono Alfonso, executive
director of the Jesuit Communications Foundation, Inc.
Father Lucas emphasized that the overall goal of the papal visit coverage is to have a
comprehensive, seamless and widest coverage.
He appealed to the press not to focus on negativity and maintain the solemnity and
sacredness of the visit.
Father Alfonso meanwhile said all media networks should constantly dialogue and set
aside competition to be able to execute their mandate well.
Father Alfonso, a former journalist, reminded the media to observe journalism ethics
and standards in their coverage.
He also underscored the importance of doing research, providing context, and having
balanced and accurate news reports.
The workshop was attended by representatives of major media networks, among them
ABS-CBN, GMA-7, TV-5, 9 News, PTV-4, and the Philippine Information Agency.
The event was hosted by Assistant Secretary Virgilio Nadal Jr., executive director of
Radio Television Malacaang. PND

Papal Visit to the Philippines 2014 and 2015, announced that 200 slots would be
given to concelebrating priests from dioceses inside and outside of the Philippines.
Priests assigned in the Philippines need to coordinate with their respective 3,126

Holy Father. May this experience inspire us further to become merciful and
compassionate shepherds. May we become priests rich in mercy and compassion. Let
us also share the blessings of this Holy Mass with our brother priests, especially those
who are sick and in crisis, he said.
He prays that priests and those who will not able to be physically present at the Mass,
to offer your sacrifices with us so that the graces of this Holy Mass may truly be
overflowing. The Holy Eucharist is a spiritual communion of the faithful, especially
among the fraternity of priests. It is a celebration of the whole Church. The sick and
the weak they are still part of this historic occasion. (Rommel Lopez/CBCPNews)

President Says Popes Visit

Good Promotion for the
Country
Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has justified government expenses and
efforts for the scheduled visit of Pope Francis to Manila October 23-27 by saying the
event will enhance the image of the country abroad.
The popes visit will carry with it the message that the Philippines are a good and
new destination for conferences and meetings, the president said in a luncheon
September 19 with staff and personnel of a national newspaper.
Ramos said that some of the expected 200,000 visitors in January have started
arriving. The popes visit, he added, would put the Philippines in the forefront of the
consciousness of the people worldwide.
According to Church organizers, some 350,000 youth from around the world are
expected to join in the 1st Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Anniversary Festival
activities beginning October 5.
Millions are expected to attend the popes public Masses October 25 and 26.
The vast majority of people taking part in papal visit-related events will be Filipinos,
but tens of thousands of foreigners are expected as well.
Just the numbers alone are enough compensation for the promotion of the good
image of the country, Aquino III said.
In reference to the sixth general assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops
Conferences October 21-30, 2014, coinciding with the papal visit, Aquino III noted
the expected presence of worldwide Catholic leaders, especially from Asia.
Aquino III, the Fifteenth President of the predominantly Catholic Philippines,
explained that Pope Francis will be coming not only as the pastoral head of the
Catholic Church but also as head of Vatican State.
We must not lose sight of the fact that we spend government funds in preparation for
state visits by other heads of state, he said.
The government will spend at least 16 million pesos (US$664,000) for the
construction of the two altars that will be used for the papal Masses.
The Church and government, at loggerheads over issues such as population, are
closely collaborating in preparations for the popes coming.
Aquino III has created a national executive committee for the papal visit composed of
cabinet secretaries and Catholic bishops.
Answering criticisms that this may violate the constitutional separation of Church and
State, Aquino III pointed out that the bishops have to be represented on the committee
to take care of the concerns of the Church.
The committee, he said, would ensure that the state visit would be smooth,
meaningful and satisfactory to the Holy Father.
The Philippines is extremely privileged to host the pope, Aquino III said,
expressing confidence that differences over the population issue will not hamper the
governments warm reception of the Vatican head.
128

Continuing dialogue with the Catholic Church and other religious groups is ensuring
a smoother relationship between Church and government, Aquino III said.
10,000 seats set for

Calungsod pilgrims during
mass
By: Bernadette A. Parco, Jujemay G. Awit and Justin K. Vestil
MANILA, October 9, 2014 -- About 10,000 pilgrims from various dioceses
outside Cebu Province are expected to attend the DWXI Prayer Partners
Foundation International Family Appointment with El Shaddai was held for the
grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary celebration of

renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide and annual
birthday celebration of television evangelist and Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie C.
Villanueva at the end of the month.
Fr. Jake Reyes, committee chairman on local pilgrims, said they are unable to
provide accommodations for the pilgrims, but they were referred to travel
agencies.
He said these five agencies can give the visitors discounted prices on hotel
and pension house accommodations for at least two days.
The pilgrims, however, are assured of seats during the celebration on October
25. But they must come early because the seats are given on a first-come,
first- served basis.
Based on an initial agreement between a private company and the Church
committee, the cost of rental for each chair is P7 pesos per day or P70, 000
per day.
Police
Meanwhile, the Manila police are asking the Manila Police Office (CPPO) to
deploy about 400 policemen at the Rizal Park in preparation for the event.
Superintendent Eddie Recamara, chief of the Talisay City Police Station, told
reporters that the number of police personnel is needed to prepare for a
turnout of 200,000 to 300,000 devotees.
He added that Talisay City will be on heightened alert at that time, with their
personnel on the streets by October 25.
Aside from the crowds, they are also preparing for the traffic situation, since
the Cebu South Coastal Road and SRP will be closed to motorists on October
25.
Recamara has advised motorists to take Quezon Bridge during the
thanksgiving mass.
Final preparations
129

Last Monday, October 6, Recamara, along with city and church officials in
Talisay City, met at the San Isidro Church in Barangay San Isidro to discuss their
final preparations for the thanksgiving mass.
Santo Rosario Parish would be accommodating 18 people from the Pope Pius
XII Catholic Center in Paco, Manila.
Reyes said they are coordinating with Cebu City Councilor Roberto
Cabarrubias, who heads the preparations for a Devotee City for the JIL
celebration.
During a press conference Wednesday morning, October 8, Reyes said there
were only 10 cargo containers allotted for the event by cargo shipping
company, 2Go, because the last two months of the year are peak months for
shipments.
He said that as buffer alternative, the committee is also meeting with officials
of the Department of Education in Pasig City for the use of the classrooms of
four public schools near LRT stations.
But the backup plan to use the schools will no longer be pursued because
Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada does not agree with, it fearing the schools
might be vandalized.
Cabarrubias, though, got the commitment of two shipping companies for at
least 30 containers for a pilgrims center for the October 26 activities.
There are between 10 and 30 containers committed by 2Go and 10 from
PhilSpan of Sulpicio Lines.
Cabarrubias thinks a Devotee City for the JIL Celebration will cost about half
a million pesos.
But Estrada said he would rather tap the private sector than depend on the
Council for funds.
Aquino to speak, but after Calungsod thanksgiving mass
MANILA, October 14, 2014 -- A high-ranking Vatican official and President Benigno
Aquino III will attend the.
Aquino, however, will have to wait until after the mass before he can address the
crowd.
The attendance of Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes
of Saints, was already confirmed, said Archbishop Emeritus of Cebu Ricardo Cardinal
Vidal.
In a press conference on Monday, October 13, Cardinal Vidal said that the postulator
for the cause of the sainthood of Calungsod, Augustinian friar Fr. Fernando Rojo, and
Guam Archbishop Anthony Apuron are also attending.
So far, the Church has raised about P42 million for the preparation expenses.
We cant report yet the whole amount (collected). There are so many things to do yet
and funds are still coming in, the 83-year-old prelate said.
Yes, after
Meanwhile, Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada sees no problem with the President
delivering a speech during the event.
It is just like having a president in the Sinulog. During the launching, he was even
present and there was a mass, Estrada said.
Cardinal Vidal received the commitment from the President that he will attend the
event. There was a request for a speech. He (Aquino) was allowed but (he will
deliver the speech) after the mass, said the cardinal.
130

Amid worries that the Presidents speech will politicize the celebration, Mayor
Estrada said the priests already know what to do and have protocols for when
dignitaries give speeches during religious celebrations.
The mayor also made a public plea during his news conference to curb petty crime,
with the crowd projected to reach 500,000 to one million during the October 26 event.
Rama also urged the Cebuano people to pray that the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park
will be ready at least a week before October 26.
According to the Vatican website, the congregation prepares each year everything
necessary for the pope to be able to set forth new examples of holiness.

inspired those involved in the whole beatification process). Also, in the Philippine
setting, he is the highest ranking (Church) official, said the archbishop.
Calungsod was a Visayan teenager who joined the Jesuit missionaries in the Ladrones
islands, which is now known as Guam.
He was the only companion of Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores, SJ, in teaching
catechism and baptizing the Chamorro natives. Both of them were killed by the
Chamorros on April 2, 1672.
Calungsod was beatified by Saint John Paul II in March 2000 and was canonized
together with six other blessed persons by Pope Benedict XVI last October 21, 2012
in Rome, Italy.
ANGELO GIUSEPPE RONCALLI was born in Sotto il Monte, in the Diocese and
Province of Bergamo, on 25 November 1881. The fourth of thirteen children, he was
baptized that same day. Under the guidance of an outstanding parish priest, Father
Francesco Rebuzzini, he received a profound ecclesiastical formation which would
sustain him in difficulty and inspire him in the works of the apostolate.
He received Confirmation and First Communion in 1889 and entered the Seminary of
Bergamo in 1892, where he remained for studies in classics and theology until his
second year of theology.
As a fourteen-year-old boy, he began drawing up the spiritual notes which he would
131

keep in various ways until his death, and would later be collected in the Journal of a
Soul. It was there that he began the practice of regular spiritual direction. On 1 March
1896, the spiritual director of the Seminary of Bergamo, Father Luigi lsacchi, enrolled
him in the Secular Franciscan Order, whose Rule he professed on 23 May 1897.
From 1901 to 1905 he studied at the Pontifical Roman Seminary, where he benefited
from a scholarship of the Diocese of Bergamo for qualified seminarians. In the
meantime he completed a year of military service. He was ordained a priest in Rome
on 10 August 1904 in the Church of Santa Maria in Monte Santo in Piazza del
Popolo. In 1905, he was named secretary to the new Bishop of Bergamo, the Most
Reverend Giacomo Maria Radini Tedeschi.
He served as secretary until 1914, accompanying the Bishop on his pastoral visits and
taking part in his numerous pastoral initiatives, including a Synod, the editorship of
the monthly journal La Vita Diocesana. pilgrimages and various social works. He also
taught history, patrology and apologetics in the Seminary. In 1910, when the statutes
of Catholic Action were revised, the Bishop entrusted him with the pastoral care of
Catholic women (section V). He wrote for Bergamo's daily Catholic newspaper, and
he was a diligent, profound and effective preacher.
These were the years of his profound contact with sainted Bishops: Saint Charles
Borromeo (whose Atti della Visita Apostolica, completed in Bergamo in 1575 he
would later publish), Saint Francis de Sales and Blessed Gregorio Barbarigo. They
were also years of great pastoral activity at the side of Bishop Radini Tedeschi. When
the latter died in 1914, Father Roncalli continued his priestly ministry as a seminary
professor and a spiritual assistant to various ecclesiastical associations.
When Italy entered the war in 1915, he was called to military service as a sergeant
medic. A year later, he became a military chaplain serving military hospitals behind
the lines, and coordinated the spiritual and moral care of soldiers. At the end of the
war he opened a "Home for Students" and served as a chaplain for students.
In 1919, he was appointed spiritual director of the Seminary.
1921 marked the beginning of the second phase of his life: his service to the Holy
See. Called to Rome by Pope Benedict XV to be the President for Italy of the central
council of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, he visited many Italian
dioceses and organized missionary circles. In 1925 Pope Pius XI named him
Apostolic Visitor to Bulgaria, elevating him to the episcopal dignity with the titular
see of Areopolis. He chose as his episcopal motto Obtedientia et Pax, which served as
the programme of his Iife.
Ordained bishop in Rome on 19 March 1925, he arrived in Sophia on 25 April.
Subsequently named the first Apostolic Delegate to Bulgaria, Archbishop Roncalli
remained there until 1934, visiting the Catholic communities and fostering respectful
relations with other Christian communities. He was present and offered ready
charitable assistance during the earthquake of 1928. He quietly endured
misunderstandings and the difficulties of a ministry marked by halting progress. He
grew in self-knowledge and confidence, and in abandonment to Christ crucified.
On 27 November 1934, he was named Apostolic Delegate in Turkey and Greece. His
new assignment covered a vast area. The Catholic Church was present in many ways
throughout the young Turkish Republic which was in the process of renewing and
organizing itself. His ministry to Catholics was demanding and he became known for
his respectful manner and dialogue with the Orthodox and Muslims. At the outbreak
of the Second World War he was in Greece, which was devastated by fighting. He
sought to gain information about prisoners of war and he helped to save many Jews
132

by giving them transit visas issued by the Apostolic Delegation. On 6 December
1944, he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio in Paris by Pope Pius XII.
During the final months of the war and the first months of peace, Archbishop Roncalli
assisted prisoners of war and worked to restore stability to the life of the Church in
France. He visited the French shrines and participated in popular feasts and more
significant religious events. He was attentive, prudent and trusting in his approach to
the new pastoral initiatives undertaken by bishops and priests in France. He constantly
sought to embody evangelical simplicity, even in dealing with the most complex
diplomatic issues.
His pastoral desire to be a priest in every situation sustained him.
His deep piety found daily expression in prolonged moments of prayer and
meditation.
On 12 January 1953 he was created Cardinal and on 25 January he was named
Patriarch of Venice. He was delighted to devote himself in the last years of his life to
a directly pastoral ministry, an aspiration he had always cherished as a priest. He was
a wise and resourceful pastor, following in the footsteps of the holy Bishops whom he
had always venerated: Saint Lawrence Giustiniani, the first Patriarch of Venice, and
Saint Pius X. As he grew older, his trust in the Lord increased, within the context of
an active, enterprising and joyful ministry.
Following the death of Pius XII, he was elected Pope on 28 October 1958, taking the
name John XXIII. In the five years of his pontificate he appeared to the world as an
authentic image of the Good Shepherd.
Meek and gentle, resourceful and courageous, simple and ever active, he undertook
various corporal and spiritual works of mercy, visiting prisoners and the sick,
welcoming people of all nations and religions, demonstrating an exquisite sense of
fatherhood to everyone. His social magisterium was contained in the
Encyc1icals Mater et Magistra (1961) and Pacem in Terris (1963).
He convoked the Synod of Rome, instituted the Commission for the Revision of the
Code of Canon Law, and convened the Second
Vatican Ecumenical Council. As Bishop of Rome, he visited parishes and churches in
the historical centre and in the outskirts.
People saw in him a reflection of benignitas evangelica and called him the "good
Pope". A profound spirit of prayer sustained him.
He embodied, as the driving force behind a movement of renewal of the Church, the
peace of one who trusts completely in the Lord.
He advanced resolutely along the paths of evangelization, ecumenism and dialogue,
and showed a paternal concern to reach out to those of his children most in need.
He died the evening of 3 June 1963, the day after Pentecost, in a profound spirit of
abandonment to Jesus, of longing for his embrace, and surrounded by the prayers of
the entire world, which seemed to gathered at his bedside to breathe with him the love
of the Father.
John XXIII was declared Blessed by Pope John Paul II on 3 September 2000 in Saint
Peter's Square, during the celebration of the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000.
KAROL JZEF WOJTYA, elected Pope on 16 October 1978, was born in
Wadowice, Poland, on 18 May 1920.
He was the third of three children born to Karol Wojtya and Emilia Kaczorowska,
who died in 1929. His elder brother Edmund, a physician, died in 1932, and his father,
Karol, a non-commissioned officer in the army, died in 1941.
133

He was nine years old when he received his First Communion and eighteen when he
received the Sacrament of Confirmation. After completing high school in Wadowice,
he enrolled in the Jagellonian University of Krakow in 1938.
When the occupying Nazi forces closed the University in 1939, Karol worked (19401944) in a quarry and then in the Solvay chemical factory to earn a living and to avoid
deportation to Germany.
Feeling called to the priesthood, he began his studies in 1942 in the clandestine major
seminary of Krakow, directed by the Archbishop Adam Stefan Sapieha. During that
time, he was one of the organizers of the Rhapsodic Theatre, which was also
clandestine.
After the war, Karol continued his studies in the major seminary, newly reopened, and
in the school of theology at the Jagellonian University, until his priestly ordination in
Krakow on 1 November 1946. Father Wojtya was then sent by Cardinal Sapieha to
Rome, where he attained a doctorate in theology (1948). He wrote his dissertation on
faith as understood in the works of Saint John of the Cross. While a student in Rome,
he spent his vacations exercising pastoral ministry among Polish emigrants in
France, Belgium and Holland.
In 1948, Father Wojtya returned to Poland and was appointed a curate in the parish
church of Niegowi, near Krakow, and later at Saint Florian in the city. He was a
university chaplain until 1951, when he again undertook studies in philosophy and
theology. In 1953, Father Wojtya presented a dissertation at the Jagellonian
University of Krakow on the possibility of grounding a Christian ethic on the ethical
system developed by Max Scheler. Later he became professor of moral theology and
ethics in the major seminary of Krakow and in the theology faculty of Lublin.
On 4 July 1958, Pope Pius XII appointed Father Wojtya auxiliary bishop of Krakow,
with the titular see of Ombi. Archbishop Eugeniusz Baziak ordained him in Wawel
Cathedral (Krakow) on 28 September 1958.
On 13 January 1964, Pope Paul VI appointed Bishop Wojtya as Archbishop of
Krakow and subsequently, on 26 June 1967, created him a Cardinal.
Bishop Wojtya took part in the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and made a
significant contribution to the drafting of the Constitution Gaudium et Spes. He also
took part in the five assemblies of the Synod of Bishops prior to the start of his
Pontificate.
On 16 October 1978, Cardinal Wojtya was elected Pope and on 22 October he began
his ministry as universal Pastor of the Church.
Pope John Paul II made 146 pastoral visits in Italy and, as the Bishop of Rome; he
visited 317 of the current 322 Roman parishes. His international apostolic journeys
numbered 104 and were expressions of the constant pastoral solicitude of the
Successor of Peter for all the Churches.
His principal documents include 14 Encyclicals, 15 Apostolic Exhortations, 11
Apostolic Constitutions and 45 Apostolic Letters.
He also wrote five books: Crossing the Threshold of Hope (October 1994); Gift and
Mystery: On the Fiftieth Anniversary of My Priestly Ordination (November
1996); Roman Triptych, meditations in poetry (March 2003); Rise, Let Us Be on Our
Way (May 2004) and Memory and Identity (February 2005).
Pope John Paul II celebrated 147 beatifications, during which he proclaimed 1,338
blesseds, and 51 canonizations, for a total of 482 saints. He called 9 consistories, in
which he created 231 Cardinals (plus one in pectore). He also presided at 6 plenary
meetings of the College of Cardinals.
134

From 1978, Pope John Paul II convoked 15 assemblies of the Synod of Bishops: 6
ordinary general sessions (1980, 1983, 1987, 1990, 1994 and 2001), 1 extraordinary
general session (1985) and 8 special sessions (1980, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998 (2)
and 1999).
On 13 May 1981, an attempt was made on Pope John Paul IIs life in Saint Peter's
Square. Saved by the maternal hand of the Mother of God, following a lengthy stay in
the hospital, he forgave the attempted assassin and, aware of having received a great
gift, intensified his pastoral commitments with heroic generosity.
Pope John Paul II also demonstrated his pastoral concern by erecting numerous
dioceses and ecclesiastical circumscriptions, and by promulgating Codes of Canon
Law for the Latin and the Oriental Churches, as well as the Catechism of the Catholic
Church. He proclaimed the Year of Redemption, the Marian Year and the Year of the
Eucharist as well as the Great Jubilee Year of 2000, in order to provide the People of
God with particularly intense spiritual experiences. He also attracted young people by
beginning the celebration of World Youth Day.
No other Pope met as many people as Pope John Paul II. More than 17.6 million
pilgrims attended his Wednesday General Audiences (which numbered over 1,160).
This does not include any of the other special audiences and religious ceremonies
(more than 8 million pilgrims in the Great Jubilee Year of 2000 alone). He
met millions of the faithful in the course of his pastoral visits in Italy and throughout
the world. He also received numerous government officials in audience, including 38
official visits and 738 audiences and meetings with Heads of State, as well as 246
audiences and meetings with Prime Ministers.
Pope John Paul II died in the Apostolic Palace at 9:37 p.m. on Saturday, 2 April 2005,
the vigil of Sunday in albis or Divine Mercy Sunday, which he had instituted. On 8
April, his solemn funeral was celebrated in Saint Peter's Square and he was buried in
the crypt of Saint Peter's Basilica.
John Paul II was beatified in Saint Peters Square on 1 May 2011 by Pope Benedict
XVI, his immediate successor and for many years his valued collaborator as Prefect
for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Archbishop Palma was grateful to friends, benefactors and volunteers working on the
Manila celebration when Cardinal Tagle was at the SMART-Araneta Collesium in
Cubao, Quezon City and the activities in Rome, Italy for the canonization rites last
April 27, 2014.
Good weather
Cardinal Amato said the most popular saint was Pedro Calungsod, followed by Saint
Keteri (Tekakwitha), said Estrada.
He recalled that the weather in Rome two years ago improved during the two
canonization dates, October 21, 2012 and April 27, 2014, and that it had been rainy
and very cold on other days.
For the people, we ask for their prayers for good weather (for the national
thanksgiving mass). That is a thing that is beyond our control, Palma said.
We cant cover the SRP in case it rains hard, he added.
The preparations for the mass include site development by National Parks
Development Committee, construction of the templete or site of the mass,
transportation, accommodations for local pilgrims, liturgy and finance.
We trust that what San Pedro Calungsod has done in Rome can also be done here.
Hes (Calungsod) pushing the project. I think he really wants things to happen, said
Cardinal Vidal on the progress of the preparations.
135
Msgr. Dennis Villarojo, chairman of the Cebu celebration, said the preparations are
on track but not all construction work is finished. The site development at the SRP
was scheduled to be finished today, Tuesday.
Precautions
Strict security measures will be in place at the mass site on November 30, said Cebu
City Police Office chief Melvin Ramon Buenafe. He said a dry run for the planned
security measures was conducted last Sunday, with 600 personnel present at the mass
site.
The police chief also said an orientation was conducted on security operations and the
contingent was informed on what to expect, considering that the mass site has no
fences.
We are considering all possible problems. We will have an augmentation and force
multipliers, he said. Personnel will be sent from the Armed Forces of the Philippines
(AFP) and Cebu City Traffic Operations Management (Citom).
The Presidential Security Group (PSG) will also be present.
Buenafe advised the people who will attend the religious activities to refrain from
bringing along valuables like jewelry and large amounts of cash.
Msgr. Villarojo, meanwhile, reminded the people that there are three ways to reach
the mass venue.
The people can join the processions. From the parishes in the south, the assembly
area is at the Talisay Fish Port while those from the north can go to D. Jakosalem and
adjoining streets. Everybody is encouraged to join the procession, he added.
No tickets
The second way will be through shuttle buses that will ply the Rizal Park from Manila
City Hall to the Lagusnilad tunnel at the corner of Arroceros and Padre Burgos.
The third, and the easiest way especially for senior citizens and people with
disabilities (PWDs), is the Mambaling flyover, said Villarojo.
The people can take public jeepneys that would pass by Rizal Park and then walk to
the venue.
There would be multicabs available to bring the people to the venue, where there
will be golf carts for PWDs and senior citizens, he said.
There are no tickets, no passes needed to enter the venue. (But) there are passes for
vehicles that would be distributed to parishes, he added.
The council that oversees the preparations, led by Cardinal Tagle and Cardinal
Rosales, are hoping the celebration will be as successful as the celebration in Rome
last April 28.
The efforts to make the preparation meaningful, colorful paid off. What was
important was the solemnity, ambience and fruitfulness of the event, said
Palma. (BAP/With Rachel Umpad, USJ-R Mass Com intern/Sun.Star Cebu)

Engineers work to address

flooding in JIL celebration
venue
A little over a week before the big day, about a tenth of the Quirino Grandstand Stage
still needs to be worked on.
But organizers of the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Family
Appointment with El Shaddai was held for the grand prayer assembly and annual
founding anniversary celebration of evangelical Christian and Roman Catholic
Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide and
on Sunday, October 26 are confident, the stage which will hold the altar and pulpit
will be ready for the historic event.
Construction of the stage in the Manila City government owned national park has
been beset with trials, ranging from work slowed down by rains, and even flooding in
the 58-hectare property two days ago.
But Fr. Brian Brigoli, vice chairman of the committee on venue, admitted that the area
will really be muddy if heavy rain will fall on the big day.
If this happens, Brigoli said, devotees may just consider that as part of their sacrifices.
As of yesterday, Fr. Brian Brigoli, said the templete is 90 percent complete. It will be
totally finished on October 23 based on their estimate, added Brigoli.
The ground development is expected to be finished by Nov. 29. Engineers have to
work on the drainage system in the venue after heavy rains flooded the area.
The rains have also left the ground where tens of thousands are expected to stand
while the event is ongoing in a muck of mud.
Only the VIP area in the right side of the grandstand was cemented, said Brigoli.
To minimize the flooding problem in case rain will happen during the event, Brigoli
said, an open canal is being developed around the area to drain the field.
Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma earlier appealed for the public to pray for a good
weather on October 26 to 27.
Church officials estimated at least 500,000 to 1 and 2 million people will attend the
big celebration.
137

President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and Vice President Jejomar Binay are set to
attend the historic event.

Tagle cant stop me;

hes not God-Noy
(By Juliet L. Javellana and Stella O. Gonzales)
CARDINAL Tagle is not God and no matter what accusations he makes against me,
he cannot stop me.
An angry President Benigno Aquino III yesterday struck back at Manila Archbishop
Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle for calling his administration disgusting, and used
up almost all of his two-hour radio program to attack the leader of the country's more
than 50 million Roman Catholics.
Mr. Aquino said he was willing to resign right now! if Tagle could prove he was
guilty of corruption.
The President made his anti-Sin offensive as his ally, El Shaddai founder and servantleader Bro. Mike Z. Velarde, brushed off concerns that he would be disobeying Tagle
by holding a separate gathering of his flock on the same day the rallyists would lead
an anti-Charter change rally.
Velarde said that in the October 25-27 El Shaddai gathering, prayer requests would be
made, including the resolution of the Marcos wealth issue in a referendum and
the successful of several events last February to October 2014.
Speaking on his weekly radio show yesterday, Mr. Aquino criticized Tagle, saying
we still respect him but there is no truth to these accusations.
He was reacting to Sin's statement calling on the public to oppose Mr. Aquinos
moves to amend the Constitution and attacking the alleged return of cronyism and the
renewed influence of the family of the late deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos under
the Aquino III administration.
In a statement issued earlier this week, Tagle said Mr. Aquino's administration was
''disgusting'' for allowing the return to power of Marcos associates and also accused
the government of a lack of transparency and for a perceived clampdown on at least
two newspapers, the Manila Times and the INQUIRER.
Baseless
The President assailed Tagle for writing lies (walang katotohanan) and baseless
accusations.
Mr. Aquino has been repeatedly accusing the INQUIRER of the same offenses.
The statement is set to be read today in all Catholic churches in the country.
Rallysts called for a massive protest rally on October 26, mainly against the issues
raised in the pastoral letter.
138

The Catholic bishops are backing Tagle's opposition to Charter changes but the main
business groups are in favor of such amendments.
More than 50 million of the country's 74 million population are Roman Catholics.
The late former Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin and the late former Philippine
president Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino led the 1986 Edsa popular revolution that
toppled Ferdinand E. Marcos from power and installed her as president on February
25, 1986.
Backed by losers
Mr. Aquino belittled the planned protest, saying the ones behind that are those who
ran against me in the election and were ignored by the people and even up to now,
they continue their attacks without basis.
This was a reference to the fact that Sin and Aquino backed a losing candidate against
him in the 2010 elections, which Mr. Aquino III won by a landslide victory.
Mr. Aquino slammed Sin in his Report kay Boss radio program, which is aired
nationwide.
The President mentioned the name of the highest-ranking Catholic leader in the
country 12 times during the two-hour program, which yesterday was devoted entirely
to his plans to amend the Constitution.
''We still respect him because he's the cardinal, but he should not overdo it (making
accusations) because no one will believe him anymore,'' the President said in Pilipino.
His co-host, Ted Failon, read to him this portion (translated into Pilipino) of Sin's
letter: The return to power of the former plunderers is disgusting. The harassment of
press people is alarming. The compromise with the heirs of the dictator is immoral.
Prove it
Mr. Aquino, a former Marcos ally, denied he was restoring the Marcoses to power or
suppressing press freedom. He vehemently denied any corruption under his
administration.
He pointed out that as representative of Tarlac in Central Luzon, then as senator and
now as President, he was never linked to any corruption.
Now, if Cardinal Tagle can prove I stole from the government, I will resign right
now, he said.
I am not challenging him to a debate. He just has to prove I committed any act of
graft and corruption in the government.
He cannot call me a thief,'' he said. ''He has no proof. He is a cardinal. He shouldn't
make accusations like that.
Not people's sentiments
He said Tagle's letter did not reflect the sentiments of the Catholic faithful.
What the Cardinal says should have at least a little truth in it, he said.
The trouble is, the people who are joining him are the same ones who ran against me
in the election and were ignored by the people. Even up to now, they continue their
attacks without basis.
Mr. Aquino has been repeatedly assailing the INQUIRER for its 2010 Election Day
headline, Anybody but PNoy, which was based on a statement the Catholic Bishops
Conference of the Philippines issued just before the election.
The President found an ally in Novaliches Bishop-Emeritus Teodoro Bacani who, in a
meeting at Malacaang on Thursday, denied that the CBCP had issued
that 2010 statement.
Money from Marcos
139

The President, saying he was not a Marcos crony, revealed for the first time that
Marcos gave him P18 million in 1978, when the dictator asked him why he was angry
at the then President.
I told President Marcos I was not mad at him but my father was against martial law,
he said.
He said he used the money to buy land for squatters.
He said Tagle was well aware of this because he bought the land from Radio Veritas,
a Catholic radio station.
That's on record, so it can't be said that I stole, he said.
He has no proof,'' he said. He's a cardinal, he shouldn't make such accusations.
No press suppression
The President insisted his government was transparent and there was no curtailment
of press freedom.
He said he had not jailed any reporter and had not sued anyone in the media after his
P101-million libel suit against the 116-year-old Manila Times.
He said that for that newspaper, referring to the INQUIRER, freedom was not
reduced, only its higher income.
He said there was no stopping his administration's efforts at Charter change.
As long as I know that what I am doing is for the Filipino masses, no one can stop
me, he said.
No matter what anybody, like Cardinal Tagle, accuses me of, he cannot change my
mind because I believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God, he said.
The people elected me. I know that Cardinal Tagle is not God, so he cannot stop me,
no matter what accusations he makes.
Not compulsory
The Presidents big backer, El Shaddais Bro. Mike Velarde and Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwides Bro. Eddie Villanueva, said in a news conference
yesterday: I suppose that (circular) is not compulsory. Everybody is really for
freedom and if they are for freedom, why should they compel their constituents
or force their constituents to attend rallies?
He was referring to the October 3 circular issued by the Archdiocese of Manila calling
on all archdiocesan ministries, parishes, organizations, schools and other institutions
to join the October 26 Rally for Democracy to be led by the protesters in Makati.
El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International, Inc. and Jesus is
Lord Church Worldwide are under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of
Manila. It will have its own October 26 to 27 Weekly Family Appointment with
El Shaddai at the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park in Manila for the four-day
pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines part of the 24-day
Asian Journey from October 22 to November 13, 2014.
Four requests
Velarde said that at 3 p.m. on October 26, that also he led the congregation in prayer
for their prayer-requests, which were blaring of sirens in all government offices,
mobile police cars and watercraft, firetrucks and jail service vans, thousands of white
doves will be released, bells will be tolled, blowing of horns, pounding of musical
drums or tin cans and other noise-producing objects, miracle mission balloons of
faith, love and unity would be released to the air with 4 prayer requests and petitions
written on ballpen or pencil on them and fireworks will be lit to signal to brought out
the cake, chilled champagne, blow the candles and sang Happy Birthday to greet
Bro. Eddie.
140

The four prayer requests are:
For El Shaddai to continue touching people's lives, healing the sick, and repairing
broken relationships.
For President Aquino to succeed in bridging the gap between the rich and the poor
through food security and peace and order initiatives.
For the Marcos wealth issue to be resolved by the people in a referendum so the
stigma and bitterness caused by this unresolved issue may be healed and bring about
unity and love among our people.
For media to be a constructive partner in nation building by their truthful, honest and
fair reporting of events.
Asked later if the last request means that, like the President, he thinks some in media
are irresponsible in their reporting, Velarde replied: I am not saying that. I'm just
praying that media would continue being a constructive partner in nation building.
Not forced
(People) should be free to attend rallies and in fact our members are free to attend the
rallies, whichever rally they would want to attend, Velarde said. I'm not forcing
anyone to attend any particular event. That's how democracy should be observed,
including by the Church.
But he conceded that when it comes to matters of faith and morals, religious
movements like his can only follow what the Catholic hierarchy says.
Velarde and Villanueva held a news conference at the VIP Lounge of the Quirino
Grandstand to formally announce the celebration of Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual adviser Bishop Bro.
Eddie C. Villanuevas birthday on October 6 and Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwides 36th founding anniversary celebration on October 26 to 27 for the
five-day pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines.
This event has long been planned and scheduled since last year after the
October 16, 2013 Bohol earthquake, the November 8, 2013 Super Typhoon
Yolanda and the July 15, 2014 Super Typhoon Glenda, Velarde said,
explaining why the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Family
Appointment with El Shaddai was held for the annual founding anniversary
celebration and grand prayer assembly of the Evangelical Protestant Born-Again
Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal religious group Jesus is
Lord Church headed by Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva will coincide with the
pork barrel rally.
No changing date
My birthday was scheduled 75 years ago on August 20, 1939 in Camaroan,
Catanduanes while Bro. Eddie Villanuevas birthday was scheduled 81 years ago on
October 6, 1933, he added. We can't change that.
An INQUIRER source said he discovered that El Shaddai submitted a reservation
letter on July 26 to Rizal Park authorities to include Saturday, August 23 and Sunday,
August 24, in the groups celebration.
El Shaddais regular gathering is held on Saturday and Sunday, and requires
reservation letter.
Tagle announced the October 26 to 27 rallies on October 19, 2014.
President Benigno Aquino III, Vice President Jejomar Binay, Speaker Feliciano
Belmonte, Jr., Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno and other government
officials have been invited to attend the El Shaddai rally.

EL SHADDAI NOT JOINING CORY-SIN RALLY
Manila, October 19, 2014 - Bro. Mike Velarde, servant leader of El Shaddai,
yesterday expressed support for President Aquinos proposed amendments to the
Constitution, and said he and millions of his followers will stay away from the antiAquino rally over the PDAF controversy in Makati.
There is no reason to be afraid of these changes because these would be good for the
people, Velarde said in a press forum at the Quirino Grandstand lounge.
Velarde, spiritual adviser of President Benigno Aquino III, arguedthat the Filipinos
will still have the last say on any amendments proposed by Congress. He added that a
plebiscite will be held to vote on the approval of these proposed changes.
Despite strong opposition from Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle,
Catholic bishops, and former President Fidel V. Ramos, Velarde insisted that plans to
amend the Charter are appropriate and necessary.
I'm surprised at those who are opposing Charter change, Velarde said, adding these
changes are for the country's economic development, benefitting all people.
President Aquino is pushing for Charter-changes, which he calls Constitutional
Corrections and Development (Concord), through Congress convening itself into a
constituent assembly to suggest amendments based on economic reforms.
Aquino said the constitution hurts the nation's economy because it limits foreign
investment in the Philippines. He said the country's poor would suffer if the
constitution is not amended soon.
The proposed Charter change and the pork barrel scam sparked the opposition to hold
a pro-democracy rally on October 26, the same day when the El Shaddai and Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide members will celebrate Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanuevas 81st birthday
10
and the 36th founding anniversary celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide at
the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila.
The anti-pork barrel, anti-charter change, construction traffic and anti-police groups
will lead the rally mainly against the proposed amendments to the constitution, the
passage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, the alleged suppression of the
press, the resurgence of the Marcos family, the carjacking cases and high-profile
killings and incidents, in Metro Manila, the massacre in Atimonan, Quezon; his order
to stop support to the Officers Ladies Club; the plunder charges filed against
Philippine National Police Director General Alan L.M. Purisima before the Office of
the Ombudsman in connection with the alleged anomalous deal the PNP entered into
with a courier service; disappointment among legitimate firearms holders over the
stricter issuance of permit to carry firearms outside residence and license to own and
possess firearms; the P316-million funds from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes
Office, extend the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) by five years,
the transfer of assignment of Task Force Tugis chief Senior Superintendent Conrado
Capa after the arrest of Globe Asiatique president Delfin Lee; and the spate of killings
nationwide, the Bohol Earthquake rehabilitation, the Yolanda rehabilitation and
supposed cronyism in government.
Velarde clarified that the gathering on Sunday is held annually is the anniversary
celebration of rival religious group Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide is headed by
founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva on October 2627 by which has intentions to instigate feud with the other group.
This annual event has long been planned and scheduled since last year in 2013, he
said.
Asked if he would go the the Aquino-led rally, Velarde said there would be difficulty,
saying the program at the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park in Manila would start as
early as 3 p.m., October 25 until the next day, Monday, October 27, 2014 at 8 a.m.
The rally against the national issues of the Philippines will start at 1 pm and end at 3
pm in Makati City.
Besides, he said, he was not invited to attend the rally led by former President Fidel
V. Ramos and Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle in Makati City.
Like Me, the El Shaddai-DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International has gone
through all kinds of life threatening crises. And yet by Divine Grace it survived, and
continue to grow by leaps and bounds, miraculously touching millions of people all
over the earth, Velarde said.
Guests include President Aquino, Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, House Speaker
Feliciano R. Belmonte, Jr., Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno.
Pope Francis, who will officiate the mass together with Manila Archbishop Luis
Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle.
The event will serve free food for all. All expenses will be paid by the Villanueva
family and close friends and not by the El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation
International and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide movement.
By 3 p.m., thousands of balloons will be released with these prayer requests: for El
Shaddai to continue touching people's lives, healing the sick and repairing broken
relationships; for President Aquino to succeed in bridging the gap between the rich
and the poor; for the Marcos wealth issue to be resolved by the people in a
referendum; and, for the media to become a constructive partner in nation-building.

October 26 rally: No invitation needed; come if you believe
Manila, Philippines, October 20, 2014 (INQUIRER) - COME if you believe.

With this exhortation, organizers invited all sectors of society to the Aug. 20 and
October 26 Rally for Democracy in Makati City and register their opposition to the
constitutional amendments proposed and national issues by the Benigno Aquino III
administration.
Former Sen. Rene Saguisag, chair of the Movement of Attorneys for Brotherhood,
Integrity and Nationalism (Mabini), announced that the lawyers' group had decided to
join the rally.
The other groups that have vowed to see action in the rally include the Kilosbayan led
by former Senate President Jovito Salonga, the religious such as the Church People's
Initiative Against Cha-cha, Tyranny and Cronyism, the Promotion of Church People's
Response, students such as members of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines,
artists led by the Kontra-Busal, and gays represented by Progay Philippines.
You do not need to be invited, convenors of the protest rally said in an advisory.
Come if you believe.
Saguisag said in a statement that on Friday night, the seven trustees of Mabini decided
to join the Makati rally.
He said the Mabini officers and members agreed to meet and assemble in front of the
fire station near the corner of Ayala Avenue and Sen. Gil J. Puyat Avenue.
In the end, it is a question of individual choice, said Saguisag. ''Basta ang hindi
sumama o makisama, maitim ang buto.
How many will show up on October 25-27? he said. One man in the right is a
majority.
Salonga's Kilosbayan yesterday made its own decision to join after an overwhelming
vote. Only one member voted against the decision, according to Kilosbayan member
Quintin Doromal.
It is the first time since the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution that Kilosbayan is
joining a protest action.
The members called the decision a patriotic political action.
They said their group was endorsing the three issues raised by the Aug. 20 and
October 26-27 rally organizers--protest against constitutional change at this time,
against cronyism and against threats to press freedom.
Good governance
Lawyer Chito Gascon, who represented the youth in the 1986 Constitutional
Commission, said in a breakfast forum at the Sulo Hotel in Quezon City that it was
good governance, not Charter change, that will bring about economic reforms.
Gascon, a member of the organizing committee of the Aug. 20 and October 26-27
rally, will marshall the rally participants who will gather at the corner of Buendia and
Ayala avenues.
One guest at the Sulo Hotel forum said public officials should be punished not only
for their sin of commission but for their sin of omission as well.
When the guest noted that Vice President Jejomar Binay was nowhere'' at this crucial
time, rally convenor Noel Tolentino said Macapagal had been giving them support,
however ''invisible.''
He admitted that the rally organizers had been missing the support of other officials.
Remember Edsa
People who are joining the Rally for Democracy must feel the same sense of urgency
that they did during the 1986 Edsa Revolution, Ibon Facts and Figures executive
12

director Tony Tujan told a crowd of about 1,000 in a forum in Bacolod City on
Friday.
''Every right-minded Filipino should stop any effort at Charter change at this time
because all its intentions are clearly anti-Filipino,'' Tujan said.
The Bacolod forum was sponsored by the Church People's Initiative Against Cha-cha,
Tyranny and Cronyism. The same group will spearhead the anti-Cha-cha rally in
Bacolod on Aug. 20, September 21 and October 26.
Tujan noted that the El Shaddai had been regularly holding its holy masses and
worship and healing prayer rallies at night. Now for the first time they are
holding it during the day, he said. I think there really is an intention to weaken
the political impact of the nationwide protest movement against Cha-cha, he
added. Tujan urged the reported 5 million members of El Shaddai DWXI-PPFI
and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide to attend the pro-democracy rally first
before going to their gathering at Rizal Park.
Even the El Shaddai people should realize that now is the time to be truly
Christian and Filipino by joining the anti-Cha-cha rallies, he said.
Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide movement founder, international president
and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva is celebrating his 81st
birthday on October 6.
National Democratic Front executive committee member Luis Jalandoni said
President Benigno Aquino III was trying to use Villanueva's birthday
celebration as a political weapon to counter the anti-political rally.
The guests are President Aquino, Vice President Jejomar Binay, House Speaker
Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. Senate President Franklin Drilon, and Supreme Court
Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.

Artists, gays
Artists and gays, too, are set to take part in the Makati rally.
The artists, led by Kontra-Busal, and the gays, represented by the Progressive Gays
Organization of the Philippines (Progay), are members of People Resist, a broad
alliance of organizations and individuals formed in 1997.
The Kontra-Busal and Progay groups will assemble in front of Rustan's department
store along Ayala Avenue.
A People Resist statement said religious people headed by the Promotion for Church
Peoples Response (PCPR) will launch an activity called the Church against Rising
Tyranny (Christ) on October 21.
On the same date, health professionals will launch the Health Alliance against
Tyranny and Charter Change (HaTaC Na), said People's Resist.
On Oct. 21, People Resist will hang black ribbons in designated areas in Quezon City,
Pasay City and Caloocan City.
103

On Oct. 22, at exactly 6 p.m., People Resist will hold a 30-minute noise barrage in
three major noise centers in Metro Manila: Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City,
Monumento in Caloocan City and Pasay City.
Mask appeal
Yesterday, artists and writers gathered at Vinzons Hall at the University of the
Philippines in Diliman to stage Mask Action, sponsored by Kontra-Busal. More
than 80 artists and writers designed and created anti-Charter change masks.
The masks were made from materials like found objects, paper, abaca fiber, acrylic
paint, paper cups, etc.
We will wear these anti-Cha-cha and anti-tyranny masks in the October 26 rally,
said Kontra-Busal spokesperson Chickoy Pura of the rock band Jerks and the group
Musicians for Peace.
Bomen Guillermo of the Amado V. Hernandez Resource Center said in the same UP
gathering that his group's fight against any attempted restoration of fascist
dictatorship is in the great tradition of Jose Rizal, Aurelio Tolentino, Amado V.
Hernandez, Lino Brocka, Ismael Bernal and many more artists and writers before us.
In yesterday's Kapihan sa CyPress in Quezon City, Progay secretary general Oscar
Atadero said his group, together with the Lesbians in Baguio for National Democracy
(Lesbond), the Gays United to Wipe Out American Military Presence in the
Philippines (Guwapo), and the Gays Opposed to Charter Change (Gotcha), would
rally gays to join the protest rallies in major cities in the Philippines.
Fasting, prayers
The religious sector in Lucena City will lead the people in Quezon province in fasting
and prayers from Aug. 17 to 20 and October 19 to 22.
The activity will coincide with the celebration of Quezon Day in the province,
according to Fr. Raul Enriquez, chair of the Social Concern Commission of the
Lucena diocese.
It will start with the simultaneous pealing of church bells in all parishes in the diocese,
praying of the rosary in Pilipino Language and Panalangin Para sa Lipunan (Prayer
for the People) on August 17 to 19 to and October 19 to 21.
On Aug. 18 and October 22, a grand ecumenical assembly will be held on the grounds
of the St. Ferdinand Cathedral in Lucena City.
The four-day event will end with a march to the monument of President Manuel L.
Quezon in the city's outskirts.
Religious and students
The Reject Charter Change Movement in Cebu said no amount of ''coercion'' or
divisive tactics could stop the people from rejecting Mr. Aquinos Cha-cha efforts.
In Davao City, the Davao Archdiocese said it would mobilize priests, nuns, lay
members, students and other religious congregations for the August 23 to 24 and
October 26 to 27 rallies.
Student councils and members of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP)
will hold simultaneous education forums on Cha-cha and press freedom in at least
eight colleges and universities on Aug. 16 and 18.
CEGP Davao City chair Beng Hernandez said students would light candles in the
eight schools before marching to Freedom Park in that city for a rally. With reports

Augustinians still hopeful of Cebu visit by Pope

By Ador Vincent Mayol |Inquirer Visayas
CEBU CITY, Philippines Although the only answer they got from the Vatican to
their request was the word noted the Augustinian keepers of the Sto. Nio Basilica in
Cebu is hopeful Pope Francis would drop by the Queen City of the South when he
visits the Philippines in January.
And to strengthen their cause, the Augustinian fathers are enjoining Cebuanos to pray
that Francis include Cebu on the itinerary of his January 15-19 Philippine visit.
Vatican officials neither approved nor rejected our invitation for Pope Francis to visit
Cebu in January 2015. But if the Holy Father really has intention to come to Cebu, his
emissaries should have our request right away, said Fr. Jonas Mejares of the Order of
St. Augustine (O.S.A.), the current rector of the Basilica del Sto. Nio whose coral
stone belfry collapsed during the earthquake of October 15, 2013.
The Vaticans letter to the Augustinians has yet to be released to media subject to the
approval of the congregations prior general. In the letter, according to Mejares, all
the Vatican said was that their request for a papal visit had been noted.
Nonetheless, Mejares urged Cebuanos to keep their fingers crossed and to never stop
praying so that the Holy Father would come to Cebu City where the image of the Sto.
Nio was introduced in 1521 as a baptismal gift of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand
Magellan to Cebus Queen Juana.
The Popes complete itinerary is to be announced later this year. So far, only Manila,
Baguio, Subic, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu, Leyte and Davao are mentioned.
The Pope is so predictable. When he decides, no one can stop him. I hope the Sto.
Nio will advise him to come to Cebu City. Four to six hours will be enough,
Mejares told a press conference Monday morning.
Pope Francis visit to the Philippines falls on the week of the Jan. 18 feast of the Sto.
Nio.
The occasion could not have been timelier. Swak na swak sana, Mejares said.
The Augustinian fathers, who have been the caretakers of the centuries-old basilica
and image of the child Jesus in Cebu City, sent two invitations to the Pope.
In December 2013, they sent a letter to the Vatican, inviting Pope Francis to attend
the grand celebrations in April 2015.
Aside from the annual fiesta celebration in January, the Augustinian community will
mark three milestones: the 450th anniversary of the discovery of the image of the Sto.
Nio and of the Augustinians presence in the country and the 50th anniversary of the
churchs title as a minor basilica.
Last September, the Augustinians sent another letter, requesting the Holy Father to
stop by Cebu City during his visit to the Philippines

Dont demonize
NoyLacierda
APPEAL TO BISHOPS:
(By Juliet Labog-Javellana)
Manila, Philippines, October 22, 2014 - MALACAANG yesterday protested what

it said was a tendency to demonize certain people in the supposed portrayal of the
issue of Charter change as a battle between good and evil.
And Senate President Franklin Drilon reminded Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle of
the separation of powers between Church and State, in an apparent attempt to
discourage the outspoken Manila archbishop from further expressing objection to
amending the Constitution.
At a press briefing, President Benigno Aquino IIIs spokesperson Atty. Edwin
Lacierda said some of the words that have been expressed seem to indicate a moral
judgment that those who are for Charter change are somehow the personification of
evil, or have an evil agenda.
Asked if the exchange of harsh words between the President and Sin last weekend
indicated a rift between the two leaders, Lacierda said: ''There has been a tendency
over the past weeks to demonize people, to raise the rhetoric, and I just wonder if that
is good for the country.''
I think we can argue, if necessarily very passionately, among ourselves, but let's
grant that the people who have views opposite to us are not necessarily demons and
evil persons out to destroy the country, he added.
But Lacierda could not resist referring to those strongly opposed to amending the
Constitution at this time as ''hecklers.''
We can't have a hecklers' veto. You can't have a situation where the person with the
loudest voice is allowed to defeat the democratic process, he said.
Lacierda, a lawyer and a student activist in the 1960s, posed this question to
opponents of Charter change: Are we forever going to live under the shadow of the
Marcos years?
He also pointed out that ''we're going to live with each other after October 26.
The day will be marked by a pro-democracy rally to be led by protesters in
Makati City, and an apparent countergathering by the El Shaddai, led by Mr.
Aquinos spiritual adviser Bro. Mike Velarde for the DWXI Prayer Partners
Foundation International Family Appointment with El Shaddai was held for the
grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary thanksgiving
Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
and birthday party of television evangelist and its founder, president and
spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva, at the Rizal Park in Manila just
in time for the four-day pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the
Philippines.
Sinful
Tagle, however, made no mention of the word ''evil'' in his pastoral letter, which was
read in all Catholic churches last Sunday.
Archbishop-Emeritus Fernando Capalla of Davao City, however, described Charter
change as sinful, while Cebu Archbishop-Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal said the
4

Church could not meekly stand at the sidelines without voicing its concern over
national issues.
In the pastoral letter, Tagle urged the faithful to join the rally for democracy in Makati
as a patriotic duty.
''We want morality in government. We want transparency in public office. We want
the truth all the time,'' he said.
The rally is meant to air opposition to any Charter change now, the perceived return
of Marcos-style cronyism, and threats to press freedom.
Stung by the contents of the letter, the President spent much of his two-hour radio
program Report kay Boss last Saturday in attacking Tagle.
Cardinal Tagle is not God, and no matter what accusations he makes against me, he
cannot stop me, Mr. Aquino said.
He was particularly offended by the part wherein Tagle said: ''The return to power of
the former plunderers of our nation is disgusting. The harassment of press people is
alarming. The compromise with the heirs of the dictator is immoral.''
According to the President, the letter contained lies and baseless accusations--charges
he often makes against the INQUIRER.
'Both ways'
Atty. Lacierda, who treated reporters to a lunch to mark his first year on the job,
appealed for sobriety.
If we are all going to characterize each other in very personal things, it will be very
hard to form a community, a nation that can move forward, he said.
I think what's important here is a little bit of good faith, a little bit of respect for
those who disagree with us however strongly--and that works both ways.
And it's important for us to sometimes lower the temperature of our rhetoric,
especially us Filipinos (who) take these things very personally.
Atty. Lacierda also said it was important not to let bitterness divide the nation.
We're going to live with each other after October 26. The kind of personal bitterness
that comes out of this has the capacity (of) poisoning our whole society for a good 10
or 20 years,'' he said.
Filipinos, he said, should ''step back from the precipice of personal attacks, and
think at the end of the day, 'We will recognize that even those opposed to us may have
valid things to say.
Let's listen to each other. And perhaps we can move forward as a people, he said.
'Difficult'
Atty. Lacierda said the Church's ''personal attacks'' were making it difficult for public
servants to do their job.
When you are doing public service under these rather difficult conditions, I just think
that perhaps we ought to reexamine some of the statements we are making about
people, he said.
In the long run, I think it's also important that we are balanced about this. This is a
democracy, people have a right to speak up, express strong views, and those sides will
continue to be protected, as they should be.
Atty. Lacierda said those opposed to Charter change would have the opportunity to
express their views when concrete proposals are made and during the plebiscite.
He said the Aquino III administration had proposed solid economic changes and
had issued the assurance that no political amendments would be introduced to benefit
the President and other officials.
5

So far, Mr. Aquino III has announced allowing foreign ownership of land, public
utilities and media, and clipping the powers of the Supreme Court as among the
amendments that he favored.
Barican took those opposed to Charter change to task for living in the shadow of
martial law.
Are we forever going to live under the shadow of the Marcos years? Let's learn from
it, but are we going to be so afraid of the Marcos years that all the reforms we need to
do won't get done because of the fears we have of what happened in 1972 to 1986?
he said.
I would like to think that we can learn from that experience and overcome it as
well.
Otherwise, he said, Filipinos just have to pay the price.
Limits
At the Senate, Ople said in an ambush interview: ''I think there are constitutional
limits for religious interference with the affairs of the government.
(But) at this time, we are inclined to give Cardinal Tagle the benefit of the doubt,
because he himself says he is utilizing his constitutional freedom as a citizen of the
Philippines to express his opinions on some vital issues of the State.
Ople warned further that Tagles vocal stand on highly political issues, coupled with
his critical views against the Aquino III administration, might be regarded by many as
stepping beyond the confines of religious influence.
If this leads somewhere to a serious advocacy for a theocratic state in the
Philippines, I'm sure that the Filipino people would not like it, because we are a
secular state by constitutional choice, Ople said.
He added: A theocratic state is something we find in Iran or in maybe some parts of
Mindanao, but this is not acceptable to the Filipino people because we believe in the
separation of the Church and State.-- With a report from Cathy C. Yamsuan
47 dioceses to hold
simultaneous rallies
(By the PDI Bureaus)
Manila, Philippines, October 22, 2014 - THE NUMBER of dioceses holding

simultaneous rallies on October 26 to 27 to protest Charter change has risen to 47
even as a senior Church official urged the founders of the El Shaddai DWXI Prayer
Partners Foundation International Inc. and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide to follow
his bishop on issues with moral dimensions.
The dioceses of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro, and Digos, Davao del Sur, have firmed
up plans to hold rallies on Friday. Forty-five other dioceses earlier finalized plans to
hold rallies against Charter change.
More groups have also signified their intention to hold rallies to oppose moves by
President Benigno Aquino III to amend the Constitution and scrap the pork barrel.
In Cebu, at least 12 groups from different sectors yesterday attended the launching of
the Reject Charter Change Movement (Reject).
Among those who joined the launching of Reject were representatives from nine
Catholic religious groups--the Salesian Fathers, the Religious of Virgin Mary, the
6

Society of Divine Word, the Redemptorist Fathers, the Religious of Mercy,
Franciscan Sisters, Daughters of St. Paul and the Carmelite Sisters.
For its part, the Kilusang Mayo Uno appealed to employers to allow their workers to
take a day off on Friday to enable them to attend the protest rallies being organized
by the Church.
Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles said Bro. Mike Velarde, founder and servantleader of El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International, Bro.
Eddie Villanueva, founder, president and spiritual director of Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide, must follow Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal
Tagle on issues with moral dimensions.
''The principle to follow: lay people in Manila, including El Shaddai (followers) and
Velarde, Jesus is Lord Church (members) and Villanueva, must follow their bishop-and that is Cardinal Tagle--on matters of the faith,'' Capalla said in Legazpi City on
Saturday.
Capalla and some 100 bishops and other church leaders came to Legazpi City to
attend the 50th Episcopal Ordination Anniversary of Bishop Jose C. Sorra.
Villanueva is leading a rally cum celebration of his 81st birthday on October 6
while a belated birthday celebration and belated anniversary celebration of Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide Movement on October 26-27 at Quirino Grandstand,
Rizal Park, Manila during the four-day pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis
here in the Philippines.
The El Shaddai rally will be attended by President Benigno Aquino III.
Capalla said lay Catholics could disagree with their bishops on political issues like
Charter change.
But he declared in a pastoral letter which was read in all the churches in the Davao
archdiocese that moves to amend the Charter were morally sinful and ''outright
oppressive.''
Capalla stressed that the Church must also make a stand on political and economic
issues with moral dimensions.
Mindanao
In Mindanao, he said, the Catholic Church had made a stand against Charter change
because the proposed amendments would allow foreigners to own land in the country
amid widespread lawlessness.
Catholic Church leaders in Cebu, Negros Occidental and Iloilo are preparing to bring
thousands of people to the streets for the pro-democracy protest rally on Aug. 20 and
October 26.
In Cebu City, the rally spearheaded by Archbishop Jose Palma is expected to mobilize
some 250,000 people, according to Msgr. Roberto Alesna.
Besides Charter change, the Cebu rally will address the threats to press freedom,
cronyism, foreign debt, gambling, illegal drugs, pornography, prostitution and
violence against women and children.
Representatives from the Philippine Peasants Institute, the Kilusang Pambansang
Demokrasya and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines-Cebu Chapter also attended the
launching of Reject in Cebu.
In Negros Occidental, Bishop Vicente Navarra of Kabankalan City and Bishop
Nicolas Mondejar of San Carlos City have called on the faithful to join the rallies set
in their respective areas.
A Church-led rally in Bacolod City is also expected to draw a lot of people despite
Bishop Camilo Gregorio's announcement that he will not join the mass action.
7

Gregorio had said he was against moves to change the Constitution but he believed
the rally would be a ''useless and futile exercise'' and ''a waste of time.''
Rivas letter
In the absence of a pastoral letter from Gregorio, some Bacolod priests read instead in
their Masses on Sunday the letter of Msgr. Victorino Rivas, vicar general of the
Diocese of Bacolod, inviting the faithful to join the Bacolod rally.
In his letter, Rivas said ''given the numerous statements of Pope Francis regarding the
ill effects of the neo-liberal policies of globalization against the poor of the world, we
are morally and duty bound to inform the people on the move to globalize the
Constitution through numerous amendments favoring the whims of giant transnational
corporations controlling the world economy.''
In Iloilo, parishes from all over the province had been told to send delegations to the
rally being spearheaded by the Jaro Archdiocesan Social Action Center (Jasac).
Members of the Hublag Demokrasya, a church-backed anti-Charter change coalition,
and cause-oriented groups are also participating in the rally.
''If the Constitution is changed, this can jeopardize our civil liberty, particularly
freedom of expression and of the press, and more cronies are to be surely benefited by
this move,'' said Fr. Meliton Oso, director of the Jasac.
Organizers have designated two assembly areas for participants, at the plaza of Jaro
district and at the Rotary Amphitheater, beside the Iloilo Provincial Capitol.
Hublag Demokrasya will lead the assembly at the Rotary Amphitheater.
At 2:30 p.m., the two groups will march toward St. Clement's Church in Lapaz district
for a prayer rally at 3 p.m.
At the end of the rally, organizers will release balloons attached to a banner with the
word ''Kahilwayan,'' Hiligaynon for freedom, will be attached.
Tagbilaran
In Tagbilaran City, the Church-led Aug. 20 and October 19 activity will come in the
form of a symposium that will spell out the anti-Charter change sentiment of the
Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
The symposium will be held at 2:30 p.m. at the St. Joseph Cathedral in Tagbilaran
City.
Boholanos opposed to amending the Constitution launched on Sunday the ''People
Resist Cha-cha'' movement.
Its convenors include Fr. Justino Estoque Jr. of the Promotion of Church People's
Response; Michael Bagaipo of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines-Bohol;
and John Gerard Lumantao, of the National Union of Students of the PhilippinesBohol.
In Davao City, militants and moderates will again join forces for the rally on Friday,
their fourth team-up since the Sept. 21, 1997 anti-Charter change rally.
3 marches
Leaders from the militants and the moderates, Catholic and Protestant churches have
agreed during a weekend meeting to follow what they did in 1997: hold three separate
marches from the northern, southern and central parts of the city and converge either
at Rizal Park or Freedom Park for the prayer rally.
Glen Amoroso, Bayan secretary general, said such an expression of unity showed the
people's serious concern over the ''selfish'' motives behind Mr. Aquinos move to
amend the Constitution.
He said the people were also alarmed by the President's ''pattern of actions''
undermining the democratic gains won by the people.
8

Amoroso noted the continued attacks by the President on the INQUIRER for its
unwavering critical reports about his presidency, the return of the Marcoses and their
cronies in powerful business and political posts and the move for a compromise
settlement on Marcos ill-gotten wealth.
On Wednesday, the multisectoral People Resist against Rising Tyranny-Southern
Mindanao will hold Torch Parade for Freedom in the citys main streets to entice
more people to join the October 26 rally.
In urging workers around the country to take a synchronized day-off on Sunday,
KMU chair Elmer Labog said the threats to democratic rights and the nation's
patrimony under the Aquino administration were much more dire than the effects of
any supertyphoon.
''We ask the capitalist employers to allow their workers to do so (attend the mass
actions) as a matter of patriotism,'' Labog said.
The militant labor group had earlier announced it would mobilize its ranks to join the
rally to be held on Ayala Avenue in Makati.
KMU said it would hold coordinated mass actions nationwide along with the Bagong
Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan).
It's crucial that the Filipino working people go out into the streets and loudly air their
protests against the Aquino III governments comprehensive attempt to curtail civil
and political rights and sell out to foreign monopolies what remains of our nation's
wealth, Labog said in a statement.
More protests
The Kilusan Para sa Pambansang Demokrasya said it would also launch coordinated
mass actions on October 26 to add voice to the Church-led rally.
Sonia Soto, KPD chair and co-convenor of the Reject Charter Change Movement,
said thousands of protesters would hold rallies in Negros, Cebu, Cordillera, Bicol and
Mindanao on the same day.
A 20,000-strong contingent from Central Luzon led by Bishop Beltran, regional head
convenor of the Reject Cha-cha Movement, will lead a motorcade to Metro Manila to
join the Makati rally.
In Mindanao, protest actions will also take place in Davao, Cagayan de Oro and
Bukidnon.-- Reports from Rey Nasol, PDI Southern Luzon Bureau; Cynthia A.

Pontiff unfazed by threats,

but worries for his flock
In the face of threats to his life during his forthcoming visit to the Philippines, Pope
Francis remains unfazed but tears for the safety of his flock.
This statement was made by Claudio Maria Celli, President of the Pontifical Council
for Social Communications and John L. Allen, Jr., Vatican Television Commentator,
CNN Analyst, Associate Editor of The Boston Globe and editor of website Crux:
Covering all things Catholic at a Manila Overseas Press Conference yesterday.
He is prepared to die. The only thing that concerns him is the safety of others. He is a
man of deep prayers and deep conviction, Allen, Jr. said.
9
The Holy Father has vivid memories about Pope Saint John Paul 2s visit to the
Philippines on February 17-22, 1981 and was elated with the fervor shown by the
Filipinos, he added.
The Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia, may not have attained economic
superpower status yet, but it is rich in faith.
Allen, Jr. said the country yield precious exports, which are its very own people in
reference to throngs of its overseas workers and expatriates.
Its economic prosperity is not admirable, but what is more admirable is the respect
and affection the world has for the Filipinos, he added.
Even where Filipinos have migrated their evident faith is well-defined. They wield
tremendous moral and religious influence over the rest, he said.
In a nation where 70 percent of the populations are under 30 years of age, the agenda
of Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration will be more
successful in the Philippines, Allen, Jr. said.
Asked to comment on the reactions from various quarters that the 300 million pesos
allocation for the JIL celebration is too lavish and pompous, Allen, Jr. said
expenditures will be compensated for in terms of sociopolitical and moral gains,
which are beyond appraisal, as well as long-term revenues.
Allen, Jr. said the JIL Anniversary is also significant because 2014 marks the 420th
anniversary of the Archdiocese of Manila, Sapphire Anniversary of Radio Veritas
Asia (RVA), 40th anniversary of Advertising Board of the Philippines (AdBoard) and
centenary celebration of the Archdioceses of Cebu, Nueva Caceres (Naga) and Nueva
Segovia (Vigan).
Manila is the highlight of

my trip - Francis
Vatican City - Pope Francis said on Sunday his most important on a trip to Asia and
the Pacific would be in the Philippines capital of Manila for the Jesus is Lord Church
Anniversary Celebration next Sunday.
The 76-year-old Pontiff leaves on Wednesday for a 24-day trip that will also take him
to Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka and
Seychelles. It his first big tour since after Third Extraordinary General Assembly of
the Synod of Bishops and the beatification of Pope Paul VI on October 19.
He said in his weekly Angelus message that no stop was more important his four-day
visit to Manila. "The center of the trip is still the meeting with the young people of
Manila", a healthy-looking Pope told pilgrims gathered in St. Peters Square. Youth
of every part of the planet are called on by christ to ask themselves... About their
commitment to preach the Gospel: They are called upon to be missionaries of the
Gospel, he said.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected at the event over which the Pope will
preside the event.

Youth Begin Meet To

Draft Message to
the Youth of the World
Some 250 youth from 105 countries gathered here October 16 with a mandate to
produce a Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration
message to the people of the world, though delegates were told their primary mission
is one of encounter.
The youth, representing episcopal conferences and international youth movements,
were delegates to the Eleventh International Youth Forum (IYF) held October 16-21,
2014 at the 403-year-old Dominican-run University of Santo Tomas.
Convened by the Pontifical Council for the Laity every year since 1990, the IYF
complements the major celebrations. Pope Francis is to attend this years celebration
here, scheduled October 16-21, 2014 and January 8-13, 2015.
This years forum was asked to formulate a Universal Message to the People of
the World and suggest a youth agenda for local Churches. It was also asked to discuss
prayerfully the 2014 Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Anniversary theme, Pursue
Peace and Be Holy, Without Which No One Can See God (Hebrews 12:14)
The final draft of the message and resolutions will be presented to the pope at the
annual Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration Mass.
Some 300,000 people are expected for the JIL celebration, including 10,00015,000 from outside the Philippines.
Despite this mandate, however, the forum is fundamentally a time for study or for
discussion, Stanisaw Cardinal Ryko, Pontifical Council for the Laity president, told
the IYF delegates at the start of their assembly.
The forum is a space and a time of encounter: encounter with the Lord, with the
pope and with the other young people, he explained.
It is a time to experience Jesus in a joyful ecclesial fellowship with the other youth,
an experience that brings us into an interior transformation and a missionary
dynamism.
The cardinal noted that the yearning for peace, justice, truth, solidarity and love is
stronger and deeper than ever before among younger generations. And at the bottom
of this yearning is an irresistible search for God.
The forums response to this, he added, should have a realistic foundation, "taking off
from the reality of the youth, of the world, of the Church and transporting us to the
reality of our missionary commitment in society, but always accompanied by the light
of the word and the fire of the Spirit.
Focusing on the IYF theme, To be missionaries in the heart of society, Cardinal
Ryko enumerated two requirements for young missioners of today: the capacity to
understand and live their time, their missionary time and sphere and the availability
to be configured like Christ on the cross.

JIL Anniversary
Festival Opening Mass
Draws 500,000 People
A joyous sea of people turned out to open the 1st Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary
Festival celebration at Luneta Park in central Manila October 21.
The crowd of more than 500,000 people from across the world swelled to about half a
million as Filipinos joined them for the opening liturgy celebrated at dusk with
Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila.
Young people gathered in national groups at the foot of the park grandstand converted
into a Filipino-inspired altar that will also be used by Pope Francis when he celebrates
the Mass on October 26.
Initially, nationalities could be identified by pennants and streamers groups carried
and the caps and T-shirts they wore. But waiting for Mass to begin, they forged
friendships and broke language barriers and formations.
So when the cardinal welcomed them in his homily, it was truly a message to all
the youth of the world, together here tonight in massive ranks.
Cardinal Tagle noted this was the second time the visit of Pope Francis outside Rome
was held in Asia, and he urged them to take to heart the popes words to youth:
Bring far and wide the good news that I came to bring from my father. Bring his love
to the millions of Asia. Bring the dream of the kingdom of my father to them.
Underscoring the role of youth as the hope of the Church, the cardinal described the
future he sees reflected in the aspirations of todays people.
A future where passivity and fatalism have largely ended; where poverty and
ignorance, illnesses and homelessness are vastly diminished; injustice and
exploitation, mismanagement and corruption radically cut down, he said.
"We see expectations in our peoples eyes; expectations of better and fuller lives, at
least for their children; more rice on their tables; education for sons and daughters;
increased freedom and recognition in society; human dignity held sacred; human
rights respected; the realization of a life more fully worthy of the human person."
The vocation of youth, he said, is to be the hope of Christ "for all your brothers and
sisters everywhere on this hungering earth." They should be witnesses to the world of
the word and love of God, he added.
The WYD opening Mass featured Filipino cultural touches and incorporated prayers
offered by atendees in their respective languages.
The Mass began with the sound of a tambuli, a carabao horn traditionally used by
indigenous Filipinos to assemble the community together. All songs were
accompanied by young men and women dancing dressed in native attire.
The Gloria was a festive chant of praise which the congregation enthusiastically
joined in by waving small flags of all sizes and colors.
For the final hymn, the congregation sang in full force and with synchronized action
the song that has become the anthem for the papal visit, We Are All Gods
Children.

FABCs 11th Plenary

Assembly Opens in Manila
The Eleventh Plenary Assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences
(FABC) opened on October 21, 2014 at San Carlos Seminary Auditorium, Makati
City.
The gathering, which marks the federations 45th anniversary (November 26, 1970 November 26, 2015), is focused on the theme FABC at Forty-Five Years:
Responding to the Challenges of Asia. Among 71 participants consisting of
cardinals, archbishops and bishops from more than 20 Asian countries in attendance is
Pope Francis special envoy to the six-day event, Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales, the
archbishop-emeritus of Manila. Other participants include executive secretaries of
various offices of FABC, fraternal delegates and guests from Oceania, Europe and
Latin America.
Cardinal Rosales presided at a concelebrated Mass that launched the event. His
homily evoked the image of Jesus the Good Shepherd who leaves 99 of his flock to go
out and find one lost sheep. Since Catholicism is so limited in Asia, where only about
three percent of its 3.8 billion people are Catholics, the cardinal said the Church in
Asia has a kind of reverse challenge, leaving the one in its fold as it tries to reach out
to the other 99. At the end of the Mass, he also read the Holy Fathers special message
to the assembly.
The official opening ceremony that took place after the Eucharistic celebration
showcased the presence of government officials from Philippines religious affairs
bureau, as well as leaders of Buddhist, Muslim and Protestant communities.
The special representative of the Philippine government delivered a message in which
he stressed the appreciation of Filipino people for the helpful role Catholics and the
Catholic Church have played in the cultural, political and moral growth of the local
community and the country at large. To complete the gesture, the government official
presented three man-sized flower arrangements as gifts to Cardinal Rosales and
Indias Cardinal Oswald Gracias of Mumbai, the FABC secretary general and Bishop
Gabriel Reyes, the local bishop of Antipolo diocese.
The two cardinals then thanked the Philippine government for the hospitality and
warm reception extended to all the participants from the time they arrived in Manila
to the moment they reached the San Carlos Seminary. On behalf of the local Church
in the Philippines, they also expressed an assurance that Filipino Catholics will
continue to be the good citizens they are. With continuing dialogue and cooperation,
the Catholic Church in the Philippines also hopes to contribute to a better future for
the country.

800 cops to guard rival

rallies
By Michael Lim Ubac
Manila, Philippines, October 22, 2014 (INQUIRER) - THE October 26-27 rallies
led separately by protesters, Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide's Bishop Bro. Eddie
Villanueva and El Shaddai's Mike Velarde shall be given equal protection, police said
yesterday, October 21.
The National Capital Regional Police Office said yesterday that about 400 policemen
would be deployed on Ayala Avenue in Makati City, where Pro-Democracy Rally
will be held from three assembly points.
Velardes gathering of El Shaddai flock at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila
will also be provided with 400 policemen.
The El Shaddai founder and servant-leader ruled out political undertones in
staging the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Family
Appointment with El Shaddai for the annual founding anniversary celebration
and holy mass and worship and healing prayer rally of Evangelical Protestant
Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious
movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide on Sunday, October 26, saying it
will be held only to celebrate Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder,
president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva's 81st birthday on
14

October 6 and the religious group Jesus is Lord Church, is celebrating 36th
anniversary on Sunday, October 26 to Monday, October 27 at Quirino
Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila just in time for the five-day pastoral and state
visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines as part of the twenty four-day Asian
journey tour from October 23 to November 14.
Chief Supt. Marcelo Garbo Jr., NCRPO chief, said that he had already placed
the five police districts in Metro Manila under red alert in preparation for the
political and religious rallies.
Of the 400 to be deployed on Ayala Avenue, 200 policemen will come from the
Makati police, while the rest will come from the Southern Police District, according
to Senior Superintendent Manuel Lukban, Makati police chief.
Lukban maintained that even though the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation
International Family Appointment with El Shaddai would need bigger police
force due to its sheer number, the Ayala rally deserved the same security since, he
said, the Anti-Aquino protesters will be there, including the transport groups.
About 5 million people, including President Benigno Aquino III and Bro. Mike
Velardes political and showbiz friends, several government officials, society
figures, foreign dignitaries and 1,000 guests in the July 28 State of the Nation
Address, Church leaders, are expected to attend Velardes rally for the DWXI
Prayer Partners Foundation International Family Appointment with El Shaddai
was held for the grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary
thanksgiving celebration of evangelical protestant born-again Christian and
Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide and annual birthday party of television evangelist and its
founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva on
October 25 to 27, 2014, seven days after the beatification of Pope Paul VI in
Vatican.
Lukban said they are waiting for the official guest list of the Archdiocese of Manila
and instructions from the Presidential Security Group.

ROTC cadets, police trainees and civilian agents will bet tapped.
Manila City Mayor Joseph Estrada, who inspected the celebration site yesterday, said
he wants vehicular traffic closed off around the venue.
I want to make it a general rule that only the people can come in. If there are vehicles
that really need to get inside the venue, it should not cause gridlock, he said.
Estrada said residents should be prepared to walk from the parking area to the
templete site, similar to the way revelers of the Sinulog are mostly pedestrians who
move around sealed streets.
National Parks Development Committee Executive Director Elizabeth Espino
accompanied Estrada who went around the area to check on earthworks and
construction.
Estrada said the platform for the altar table should be made higher so that officiating
414,313 priests from 221,740 Roman catholic parishes in the 3,126 Roman Catholic
dioceses in the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, Brunei,
Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Turkmenistan,
Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Pacific (Oceania), India, Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, North and South Korea, Japan, United
States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador,
Chile, Guatemala, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras,
Paraguay, Nicaragua, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Germany, Portugal, Belgium,
Hungary, Austria, England, Netherlands, Ukraine, Ireland, Slovakia, Crotia, Czech
Republic, Switzerland, Lituhania, Romania, Slovenia, Belarus, Russia, Serbia and
Montenegro, Lativia, Luxembourg, Malta, Albania, Sweden, Greece, Estonia, Iceland,
Uganda, Tanzania, Angola, Chad, Senegal, Gabon, Madagascar, Burundi,
Niger, Comoros, Mauritania and Algeria are seen by those sitting in the front rows.
Estrada got a chair and demonstrated that VIPs are seated; they can only see the
priests from his waist up.
The best view is not in front, he said.
He said the city government is doing its share by making public roads leading to the
Quirino Grandstand presentable.
98

He ordered the City Traffic Operations Management (CiTOM) to prepare a traffic
plan.
We are seeing to it that everything is in its proper place, he said.
Reyes also belied reports that his intelligence personnel had received bomb threats
from unscrupulous groups out to sow violence and terror in the Ayala political rally.
But to be sure, we would dispatch bomb-sniffing dogs as early as Friday night,
October 25, he said.
Reyes added that police operatives would also tighten security measures on the
towering buildings near the corner of Paseo De Roxas and Makati avenues, the exact
site where the political rally will be held.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will also dispatch 100 traffic
enforcers to man traffic on roads leading to Ayala Avenue.
MMDA officials said half of the Ayala Avenue would be closed to traffic but could
not divulge the details since they are yet to be finalized tomorrow.
MMDA said that 170 traffic and security personnel of the combined members of the
Makati Parking Authority and the Makati Public Safety were also expected to help it
direct the flow of traffic.
Chief Insp. Renato Ferrer Go, Manila Police District Deputy Chief for Traffic,
said some 400 traffic enforcers of the MMDA would be deployed in Manila to
augment the police force. He said the deployment will start as early as 9 a.m.
Saturday until the dispersal of the protesters before dusk. Alintog said he had
requested the Truckers Association of the Philippines to order their trucks not to
pass from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday on roads surrounding Quirino Grandstand
to lessen traffic gridlock in Manila. He said the Katigbak Drive leading to Roxas
Boulevard would be closed for traffic on Saturday. El Shaddai will start its
celebrations at 3 p.m., October 25 which will last until the next day, Monday,
October 27, and possibly again from December 25 to 26, December 31, 2014 to
January 1, 2015, January 8 to 9, 2015 and January 18 to 19, 2015.
The crowd, expected to reach over four million people, poses a special challenge for
Catholic Church officials who are prepared to feed the faithful during the Mass and
distribute holy wafers during communion.
Pope Francis will preside over the 8 p.m. Concelebrated Roman Rite Holy Mass,
which will be televised live and exclusive nationwide via domestic satellite on
worldwide radio and television and video streamed to an audience of millions around
the country and abroad.
Twelve giant LED screens mounted in the field will give participants a better view of
the liturgical rites unfolding in the Grandstand, an elevated concrete-and-bamboo
structure.
In the 61-hectare site, a national park for the annual grand historic event, most of the
participants will have to stand throughout the series of activities which start before
noon with foot processions
Only vehicles with passes issued by the Archdiocese of Manila as well as shuttle
buses which would ferry people to the site are allowed to enter the area.
Expect tighter security in coming to the 58-hectares national park where the grand
annual founding anniversary thanksgiving celebration of Evangelical Protestant BornAgain Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide will be held.

At 2 p.m., a fluvial procession along the Manila Bay: from Guadalupe, Makati City to
will bring the image of San Lorenzo Ruiz and St. Pedro Calungsod to the Quirino
Grandstand which houses the main altar.

Pakistani nabbed with

explosives.
Government intelligence agents have arrested a Pakistani suspected of being on a
mission to assassinate Pope Francis or to disrupt his state visit to the Philippines
starting tomorrow, informed sources said yesterday. The sources said the suspect,
named Said Hamid, 45 years old, arrived again in Manila last September 6.
Hamid was apprehended in Room 206 of Josefa Apartment on 711 President Quirino
Avenue, Barangay 706, Zone 77, Malate, City of Manila, Metro Manila by combined
operatives from the National Capital Region Command, Philippine National Police
under Chief Superintendent Ager P. Ontog, and the Manila Police District led by
Chief Rolando E. Asuncion, the sources said.
They said Hamid's companion identified as Yagi Jadad, a national of Morocco,
Africa, managed to elude the Police dragnet.
Police secured a warrant of arrest from the Manila Regional Trial Court on Friday
after being tipped off on the presence of suspicious-looking foreigners by a caretaker
of the apartment. The informants name was not immediately available.
The Police operatives raided the apartment on Saturday and, in addition to arresting
Hamid also seized from his room of Pope Francis, a priest's habit and a large amount
of raw explosives, the source said.
Hamid has been under tactical investigation by police probers at an undisclosed place.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Siegfred B. Mison of the Bureau of Immigration, denied

reports that a number of nationals from Iran had sneaked into the country over the
weekend.
Mison said 12 of the Iranians while carrying valid visas, backed out of their original
plan to enter Manila during the week-long Papal Visit after the exclusion of their eight
companions at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
The eight excluded Iranians and their 12 companions had been issued visas by the
Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Mison said, based on official
communication sent him by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
BI and DFA-PH are coordinating closely on a list of 109 foreign nationals who have
been placed on the Government's "watchlist" as potential troublemakers, during the
Papal Visit.
The List has been supplied to the DFA-PH and BI by the Vatican, it was reported.
Nothing that the list is incomplete, BI airport officials said they have to rely on their
police instinct. If they feel that suspicious-looking foreigners are to be excluded,
they will have to do so, the Airport BI men said.
The BI agents recalled that the expulsion of the eight Iranians had stemmed from
experience agents' hunch that the group could be potential trouble-makers.
a leading newspaper in Kuala Lumpur had reported that the eight Iranians were
denied entry for planning to disrupt the Popes Visit.
Reacting to the news item, a clipping of which was furnished Mison by the DFA, the
Immigration chief, however, stressed: It is purely, speculative.
There is no reason to attribute terroristic tendencies to these Iranians, or for that
matter, any allen who is excluded, Mison said.
He said that the eight were excluded on purely immigration matters. He said they
were not property documented.
Immigration officer Robert Pella said that the eights lone woman companion she was
born in 1961 but she looked like a grandmother. The rest appeared to be carrying
spurious passports, Mison added.
But he admitted that the BI has been on high alert in connection with the visit here of
Pope Francis.
In another development, several hundred evangelical Protestants marched through
Manila streets yesterday to protest the visit of Pope Francis.
The protesters carried banners reading: The Vicar of Christ is the Holy Spirit, not the
Pope and Prepare for the Coming of the Lord Jesus, not the Pope as they marched
past the University of Santo Tomas where the Pontiff will say Mass on Friday.
Pope Francis will spend five days in the Philippines starting Thursday to take part in
the celebrations.
Although 85 percent of the 66 million Filipinos are nominally Catholic, Protestant
number several million and are the fastest growing religious groups in the Philippines.
An American missionary, Craig Logan of the Arise and Shine Evangelist Association,
said the Popes Visit would draw attention away from the teachings of the Bible.

Tagle hails honest broker

bid
By Merlinda Manalo
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle yesterday welcomed the
Governments offer to broker talks between Vatican and the socialist countries of
China and Vietnam, saying this initiative would contribute substantially to
propagating the Roman Catholic faith in Asia.
Foreign Affaris secretary Albert Del Rosario said Monday the Philippines was willing
to act as an honest broker between the Vatican and one hand and China and
Vietnam, on the other, in a bid to help lift restrictions on the practice and propagation
of the Catholic faith in these countries.
In exchange, the Philippines ask the Vatican to help drum up support for a United
Nations Convention protecting the rights of migrant workers and their families.
If he (del Rosario) will help us, that will be the best. We welcome this offer, the
Cardinal said in an interview.
Tagle said del Rosarios offer comes at a time, when the Catholic Church has found it
diffcult to penetrate socialist nations such as China, which cut-off diplomatic relations
with the Vatican in 1951 and 1995.
Tagle said the Church has been propagating the Christian Faith in Vietnam for several
years now. But with China where a more solid socialist system, has been imbedded
it would be more effective to deal with the System through diplomatic levels.
Tagle noted that for the 20th time, China has sent participation to the annual Jesus is
Lord Church Worldwides 36th Anniversary thanksgiving celebration on October 2527.
Im very excited about China, this is very unusual. This means that the Philippines
has role to play and it can be a linkage, to unity and harmony, Tagle said.
Tagle agreed with del Rosario that the Philippines was in excellent position to
mediate between the Vatican and socialist states in Asia, since the Philippines is the
Largest Catholic Nation in the Region and has good relations with the Holy See.
Tagle emphasized the Philippines intercession would not constitute a conflict of
interest, since the Vatican was not only a religious institution but also a political one.
We would be approaching China and Vietnam a sovereign state to another, he had
said.
Del Rosario said he will raise the issue, along the Philippines appeal to support a UN
Convention on the Protection of Migrant Workers, during bilateral talks with Cardinal
Pietro Parolin scheduled during the visit of Pope Francis to Manila on October 23 to
27.
Del Rosario said he may take up the issue with Vietnamese foreign ministry officials
next month once the Vatican gives its go-signal to the Philippine offer.

PH biz conference opens
with calls for finding niche
in regional, global supply
chains
MANILA The largest organization of Philippine businesses on Wednesday opened
its three-day annual conference with a call for members to create a niche for Filipino
products and services in both the Asean and global markets.
In a message during the opening of the 40th Philippine Business Conference, PCCI
chairman Alfredo M. Yao said this years theme Proudly Pinoy: Partnering towards
Sustained Growth underscores the competitiveness of local industries and the
quality of Philippine-made products and services.
It is all about promoting the Philippine brand and creating the countrys niches and
value additions in the Asean and global value chains; about Philippine-originating
products and services that are able to meet regional and global demands and
standards, the former ambassador said.
Yao said the conference will also discuss the needed regulatory reforms to make a
real impact on inclusive growth creating jobs, expanding investments, developing
new industries, nurturing entrepreneurs, and instilling the competitiveness mindset
among our firms and enterprises.
In a presentation, former economic planning secretary Cielito Habito called for a
change in mindsets among conference participants about the Asean Economic
Community (AEC) and the new generation trade agreements.
Habito, who is chief of party of the USAID-funded Trade-Related Assistance for
Development (TRADE) Project, said Philippine businesses should look at trade,
especially in the context of the AEC, not as competition, but as complementation.
This is borne out by the intra-industry nature of trade among Asean membercountries, he said, referring to the trade in products within the same industries.
For example, the Philippines trade with Thailand largely involves motor vehicles,
while that with Malaysia and Singapore involve electronics and petroleum products.
Given this, trade is increasingly complementary rather than competitive, with
protectionism only serving to penalize the country that puts up the barriers, Habito
said.
Opportunities lie in regional and global production networks or value chains, he
said.
7

And since the AEC is already here, this should be viewed as a stepping stone to
the new generation trade agreements, Habito said, referring to the Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP).
RCEP includes the 10 Asean member states and the six countries with which it has
existing free-trade agreements, namely Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea
and New Zealand. TPP includes Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Japan, Malaysia,
Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the U.S. and Vietnam.
Likewise, the Philippines should look into how it can insert itself in cross-border
value chains or production networks in both RCEP and TPP, Habito said.
He said there are significant gains from being in and substantial losses from staying
out of these new trade agreements.
Protestants, Muslims join

Ayala march
Manila, Philippines, October 23, 2014 - MUSLIMS and Protestants will march on
Ayala Avenue in Makati City on October 26-27.
The Philippine Muslim Task Force (PMSF) and the National Council of Churches of
the Philippines (NCCP) yesterday said they were joining the rally called by Manila
Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle.
In a statement, Jamil Yahya, PMSF's spiritual leader, called on Muslims to join the
rally to protest President Benigno Aquino III's immoral plan to amend the Charter.
Yahya said the PMSF was also opposed to the immoral act of returning to power
the cronies of Marcos and Mr. Aquino III's unjust animosity against the INQUIRER
and anti-Muslim policy.
Yahya, who claims to be a co-founder of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, said Mr.
Aquino III had not kept his promise to nominate Muslims to his Cabinet.
He said Mr. Aquino was the fourth President who took his oath of office in a church
to the exclusion of Muslims. The Muslims were again excluded during Mr. Aquinos
inauguration at the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park in Manila on June 30, 2010.
Allah
O Allah, the Almighty. Guide President Aquino to the right way to save the Filipino
people from destruction. If you know he could not be guided to the right way, destroy
him before he destroys our country, Yahya said in a prayer.
He said PMSF was the same group that staged rallies in front of the US Embassy on
Roxas Boulevard sixteen years ago to protest the US bombing of Sudan and
Afghanistan and the attacks on Iraq.
Former Vice President Noli L. de Castro, Jr. has also come out in the open to
denounce the Aquino administration.
Noynoy (President Aquino) does not perhaps realize that he is forcing the
polarization of the people. So let it be. Let there be a realignment of forces, de
Castro, Jr. said.
Let all those who are disappointed and disgusted with the way he is running the
country now join a reunited democratic opposition, he said in a statement.
NCCP sec-general
8

The People Resist coalition said that Bishop Roman Tiples, NCCP secretary general,
would join the rally which will start at 9 a.m. at the vicinity of the Rustan's
department store on Ayala Avenue.
The NCCP, which counts 10 Protestant churches and seven associate member
churches under its wings, played a significant role in the struggle against the Marcos
dictatorship.
Obispo Maximo Tomas Millamena of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente, the
Protestant church with the largest membership in the country, has issued letters to
parishes nationwide calling on members to join similar rallies in their respective
areas.
Millamena will also join the contingent of the People Resist in Makati.
Bishop Elmer Balocon of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines said the
church's national council leaders and bishops would take part in the rally in Cebu.
Other NCCP member churches--the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches and
the Episcopal Church in the Philippines--have expressed support for the rally.
In Davao City, priests, nuns, lay and other members of the Davao Archdiocese will
hold a motorcade in the city's main streets this afternoon to drum up support for
Friday's rally.
The militant People Resist against Rising Tyranny will also troop to the streets for a
Torch Parade for Freedom and candle-lighting activities at 6 p.m. today.
Bishop Generoso Camia said the marches and rallies in Davao del Sur on Friday
would be organized by the Democratic Initiative for Strengthening the Constitution
and Against Resurging Dictatorship (Discord-DS).
Discord chair Antonio Navidad said the rally would be in solidarity with the October
26 rally in Makati and key cities in the country.
The Catholic Church yesterday clarified that it was not forcing students of its schools
to attend the October 26 pro-democracy rallies.
Only fourth year high school students and all college students of Catholic schools will
be asked to voluntarily join the rally, said Chris Panaglima of the Manila
Archdiocesan and Parochial Schools Association (MAPSA).
The De La Salle University Student Council agreed with the October 26-27 rally's
stand on Charter change, press freedom and Marcos cronies.
We oppose any use of government power to protect itself against public criticism
because we believe that public office is public trust, it said.
Doctors
At least 35 doctors mostly from Quezon City hospitals like the Capitol Medical
Center, Quezon City Medical Center and the Philippine Children's Medical Center
signed a call for unity among health professionals against rising tyranny.
The proposed Charter change, suppression of press freedom, re-ascendance of the
Marcoses and their most notorious cronies and the escalation of human rights
violations indicate rising tyranny, they said in a statement.
Government employees belonging to the Confederation for Unity, Recognition and
Advancement of Government Employees (Courage) also announced their plan to join
the rally.
Other groups which oppose Charter change include the Federation of Free Workers
(FFW) and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP).
Sound legislation and good governance are the appropriate responses to our nation's
problems at this time, the FFW said.
9

The FFW said there was no compelling reason to allow foreign ownership of land,
public utilities, media, advertising firms and other areas exclusively reserved for
Filipinos, and to clip the powers of the Supreme Court.
''We are strongly opposed to Charter change at this time. It is divisive and dissipates
the energy of the nation,'' the IBP said.
The Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino of labor leader Felimon Popoy Lagman
said BMP, Sanlakas and Kongreso ng Pagkakaisa ng Maralitang Lungsod would join
the Makati rally and stage simultaneous municipal-level protests in Metro Manila.
Farmers, too
Provincial and regional chapters of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas and the
Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas are also mobilizing
members for local protest actions.
These will be held in Angeles City, Calamba in Laguna, Cebu, Davao City, Iloilo,
Baguio and Mamburao, Mindoro Occidental.
The Diocesan Social Action Center in Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino are also joining the
October 26 rally.
Students of a university and six other colleges in Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino have
opposed Charter change, saying that ''it is not the Constitution that has a defect but
rather the leadership of the country who have been into power struggle.''
In Baguio City, officials of the Catholic Territorial Diocese of Baguio and Benguet
said they would first poll the Cordillera faithful, before they invite them to join the
October 26 rally.
Sr. Paz Rimando, directress of the Social Action Center here, said the Cordillera
parishes wanted to show the President that the Catholics, who would join the rally
would not be hakot (bussed) crowds.
A Baguio-based official of a national association of provincial cable providers also
announced that they would join the democracy march to protest plans to open media
to foreign investors.
Baguio-Benguet Bishop Ernesto Salgado, chair of the Episcopal Commission on
Indigenous Peoples (ECIP), invited 50 parishes to a forum on the eve of the rally
which would discuss all available information about the Constitution.
The Church here is not softening. The Cordillera is plagued by more development
issues. There is (the P1.2-billion) San Roque multipurpose dam project. There are
mines here. There is the ancestral lands issue which will be affected by Mr. Aquinos
decision to open land ownership to foreigners, Sr. Paz Rimando said. Reports from

Visit us, NBP inmates beg

Pope
By Tina G. Santos |Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, PhilippinesInmates at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) want Pope Francis to
visit them during his trip to the Philippines in January next year to share with him
how Gods eternal grace transforms sinners like us.
10

With the help of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the PhilippinesEpiscopal
Commission on Prison Pastoral Care (CBCP-ECPPC), the inmates sent a three-page
letter, dated Sept. 26, to the Pope through Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto, papal nuncio to
the Philippines. It was signed by leaders of different inmate groups in the Muntinlupa
City facility.
We would like to share with you how Gods eternal grace transforms sinners like us.
It will be a great blessing for us to have Christs disciple and our Father here in our
midst, to give us and many other prisoners, strength and an unwavering hope in Gods
love and forgiveness, the inmates said in the letter.
We know that it is impossible to happen, but we are taking our chance of inviting
you our beloved Father, to please visit us here in prisons, they said.
We hope and pray that as you continue Gods mission of loving all his children and
inspiring them, you will give us a few minutes of your most precious time during your
visit here in October 2014 and January 2015, they added.
The Pope is scheduled to visit the Philippines from January 15 to 19 and is traveling
to Tacloban City to be with victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda (international name:
Haiyan). The Vatican is expected to announce his full itinerary by the end of the year.
If Francis is unable to visit the NBP, a Vatican envoy or representative will be
enough, said Rodolfo Diamante, CBCP-ECPPC executive secretary. Its as good as
the Pope, he added.
One of the highlights of Francis first year at the helm of the Roman Catholic Church
was the washing of the feet of 12 young offenders at a Rome prison in observance of
an Easter ritual inspired by Christ washing the feet of his apostles.
Whoever is the most high up must be at the service of others, he said. I do this
with all my heart because it is my duty as a priest, as a bishop. I have to be at your
service.
Also on Tuesday, the CBCP appealed to President Aquino to grant executive
clemency to visitorless, indigent, sick and old (Viso) inmates for humanitarian
reasons.
Many of these inmates and their families have been enduring the effect of
incarceration for years, especially those who are ailing, said Bishop Leopoldo
Tumulak, chair of the CBCP-ECPPC.
The prelate called on President Aquino to finally grant the plea of the Board of
Pardons and Parole for the said inmates in the seven national prisons under the Bureau
of Corrections as a humanitarian act. The board oversees 400 Viso inmates, yet has
recommended only 40 cases for executive clemency, according to the ECPPC.
The prison ministry also lamented how many of the countrys prisoners have been
locked inside overcrowded facilities for years without any conviction.
The ECPPC said only 35 percent of the 114,368 inmates under the Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology and the Bureau of Correction were actually found guilty
of crimes and were serving their sentences and the remaining 65 percent were only
charged but have never been convicted.
They are detained because their alleged crimes are not bailable or they cant afford to
pay the bail, Diamante said.
He reiterated that the slow judicial process for jail inmates remained a major
challenge which, in turn, resulted in prison congestion.
He said that the grossly deficient facilities in national prisons and various jails
further give rise to the subhuman conditions of prisoners.

Aquino: Airport
repair done for papal
visit
By Joey A. Gabieta, Inquirer Visayas
TACLOBAN CITY, PhilippinesPresident Benigno Aquino III has promised to
complete the repair of the runway of the Daniel Z. Romualdez (DZR) Airport, the
gateway to other Eastern Visayas provinces, by next month, two months before the
scheduled visit of Pope Francis.
He told reporters during the 70th Leyte Gulf Landings celebration on Monday that he
had asked the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to prioritize the
runway repair to move its completion date to November instead of December.
Mr. Aquino said Gov. Leopoldo Dominico Petilla and mayors in Leyte agreed to help
meet the deadline.
The President said he was told that the airport repair was delayed by the lack of
asphalt and aggregate supply because of the ongoing construction of houses and repair
of roads in areas hit by Supertyphoon Yolanda.
I hope I would be able to fulfill my promise but I expect that instead of December
2014, the repair of the airport runway will be done by November 2014 and other types
of aircraft, like jets, will return, he said.
Efren Nagrama, area manager of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines
(CAAP) whose office is located at the airport, had said that at least 200 tons of asphalt
would be needed for the runway repair work.
Repair on the airports runway started on Sept. 3. The CAAP said the work would be
finished by December.
The airports 2.14-kilometer runway had potholes blamed on the impact of aircraft
landing and taking off. The runway was submerged in seawater for hours as a result of
a storm surge generated by Yolanda on Nov. 8, 2013.
Only small aircraft, like propeller-driven planes, are allowed to use the airport
currently while the repair work is not yet finished.
Before the repair work, 11 Airbus planes from Cebu and Manila were able to land on
the runway. Currently, up to only 10 propeller planes are allowed to use the airport.
An Airbus plane can accommodate up to 180 passengers while a turbo propeller can
accommodate only 70 passengers.
Repair work at the airport is being rushed due to the forthcoming visit of Pope Francis
to Leyte. He is expected to arrive in Tacloban on Jan. 17, 2015, to celebrate Mass at
the proposed new tarmac of the airport and motor his way to the neighboring town of
Palo.

Police tighten security for

the Pontiff.
By Bert Ignacio
The Manila Police, in coordination with other government law enforcement agencies
and Vatican officials in-charge of securing Pope Francis, have adopted tighter
measures to ensure distance of at least 30 meters for the unaccredited.
Unimpeachable sources told the Standard that security men had to implement a
fallback position following the reported arrest last Saturday of a Pakistani suspected
to be a member of a terrorist organization on a mission to assassinate the Pope.
List of entourage
Sources said a ranking Vatican protocol officer has furnished government security
officials a list of names of persons both the Government, Private and Catholic
hierarchy who may be allowed to be with the Popes entourage during the latters
four-day visit from October 23-26.
This developed as intelligence agents from the Western Police District Command
scoured a wide area of the city and suburbs for the companion of Said Hamid, 45, a
Pakistani national arrested at the Josefa Apartment on Quirino Avenue, Malate while
allegedly assembling a Bomb.
Also confiscated from Hamid were four bibles, a large picture of Pope Francis, a
priests vestment and several pounds of raw explosive materials.
Arrest eluded
Hamids companion, identified as Nagi Jagad, a Moroccan, managed to elude the
Police dragnet.
A caretaker of the apartment tipped off the police about the presence of the
suspicious-looking persons, prompting intelligence agents to immediately secure a
search warrant from the Manila Regional Trial Court.
Hamid was reportedly taken to a common safe house of the Police and the military in
Manila for tactical interrogation, sources said.
The arrest of suspected assassin was neither confirmed nor denied by police
authorities.
Foreigners questioned
Unconfirmed reports also said that several other foreigners who were able to enter the
country under suspicious circumstances were picked up for questioning but later
released.
A senior PNP intelligence officer based in Camp Crane told the Standard that no
stone was left by security men would saw to it that everything has been sanitized or
free from possible risk to the health of the Pope.
Every building and nook and cranny of the Popes route have been inspected and
secured, the officer said.

Binay strikes again, slams

embarrassing
performance of some
government agencies
Vice President Jejomar C. Binay yesterday slammed the embarrassing performance
of some government agencies four years into the Aquino administration.
He stressed that the much-vaunted sterling domestic economic growth figures have
not really trickled down to assisting small businesses and uplifting the poor.
While he praised some right things done by the administration like squeaky-clean
governance at the top, dogged strategies for revenue generation, government
spending, resulting in the overall optimism in the prospects of the Philippine
economy, Binay said that some government agencies have failed in delivering basic
services to the people.
Yet, it seems, we are still not doing things right. There are some items in our
development agenda that can and should be addressed now, he said in his speech at
the 40th Philippine Business Conference and Expo at the Fiesta Pavilion, The Manila
Hotel, One Rizal Park.
The Vice President issued the stinging comments a week after assailing the biases of
the current administration, including what he called the unfair treatment former
President and now Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is getting.
WHERE THEY FAILED
Binay slammed the worsening traffic in the metropolis; the failure of government in
improving the countrys mass transport system; the impending power crisis; high
importation of rice; and the deterioration of the peace and order in the country.
Four years into this administration, several sectors have fallen embarrassingly short
on performance, he said.
Traffic is at a standstill in Metro Manila and other urban centers, worsened by an
antiquated mass transit system. Poor planning and bureaucratic inefficiencies have
unabashedly wasted the opportunities to improve the countrys transport systems. The
brakes of MRT trains fail, doors fall off, and signaling systems dangerously stall, he
ranted.
The Vice President also slammed the sorry state of the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport and how poor planning led to the countrys impending power crisis, high
importation of rice, and the deterioration of the peace and order in the country.
Criminality is rising at an unprecedented rate, with an alarming number committed
by rogue policemen. These require the attention of government now, he said.
CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
Instead of finding solutions to these problems, Binay lamented that some senators
choose to focus on assassinating his character.
He was apparently referring to the ongoing Senate probe against him over alleged
anomalies in the Makati City government during his time as mayor.
23

As motorists inch their way through the traffic hobbled streets of the our cities, as
Metro Manila commuters risk their lives every day riding in old and ill-maintained
trains, as our countrymen and foreign visitors suffer entry through the worlds worst
airport, as our people live daily in rising fear of danger to life and property, not
trusting those whose job is to protect and keep safe our people, we are treated to the
spectacle of a political assassination, live on national television, every week, he said.
The irony is that the Senate zarzuela is staged by no less than those who have failed
in their primary duty to ease these hardships that our people are suffering. And what
for, to push themselves to power in the coming 2016 presidential elections, at our
expense, he added.
Binay vowed to fight the attacks against him as he continues with his work of
providing homes for the homeless and a voice to millions of Filipinos working
overseas.
I have served the Filipino, particularly the poor and underprivileged, all my life and
my track record bears me out. And this, the Senate circus, can never erase. Because
our people ask only one question of those who try to crucify us: What have you done
for the Filipino people? he said.
Binay also hit the selective justice and perceived biases against the opposition
during a convention of public attorneys at the Manila Hotel Tuesday last week.
In the same event, Binay also assailed the Aquino administration for the unfair
treatment Arroyo has been getting as well as the creation of the Disbursement
Acceleration Program (DAP), some key acts of which were declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court.
BINAY INITIATED TALKS AQUINO
As this developed, President Aquino reiterated yesterday that it was the Vice
President who initiated their meeting last week in Bahay Pangarap.
Aquino said the facts of his meeting with Binay were reversed by the Vice Presidents
spokesman, Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla.
It was the Vice President who actually initiated the meeting. He texted me, he asked
if he could see me and I said yes, I readily agreed, Aquino said at the annual
presidential forum with the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines
(FOCAP) yesterday.
He said there was no meeting in Malacanang but in his official residence in Bahay
Pangarap at around 9 p.m. last week. He said the meeting lasted until about midnight.
The President said it was the Vice President who asked for advice on the issues
hounding his family.
With all due respect to the spokesperson, I think he had it in reverse, Aquino said,
noting that he did not ask about the Binay family and he did not initiate offering the
Vice President any help on the Senate inquiry of the Makati City Hall Building II.
He (Binay) stated the fact that Dra. (Elenita) Binay was hurting from all of these. I
didnt ask he volunteered the information, Aquino said.
The Vice President was asking advice for instance on what to do. So I didnt offer to
help, he asked advice on how to handle the situation, amongst other things, he said.
He was saying if it was possible for the Senate to terminate their inquiry in aid of
legislation given the fact that the proper forum would be the Ombudsmans office and
I said, well inquire from the Senate President, Aquino recalled.
President Aquino said that he and Vice President Binay remain friends despite being
in different political parties. (With a report from Madel Sabaterr Namit)

Tough job ahead for

GMA-7
(Scenes by Norma Japitana)
As the war of the two channels heats up even the coverage of the Popes visit
becomes a contention. Mel and Jay, a popular radio and television show on Channel
2 practically lambasted the people behind the granting of the exclusive coverage of
the Papal Visit to Channel 7 at a recent program.
Some excerpts from that show:
Jay Sonza: Can you now franchise television coverage? Live television news
coverage?
Mel Tiangco: Ang aming prinsipyo ay simple lang. We are a diversified multi-media
company at tungkulin namin sa bayan na ihatid ang mga pangyayari at mga balita.
'Yan lamang naman ko ang prinsipyo ng aming kumpanya.
Jay Sonza: Nakalimutan siguro ang Simbahang Katoliko na Protesante at ang
Kompanya ng Teleponong Pangmalayuan ng Pilipinas ang may-ari ng GMA.
(ABS-CBN Background Theme Music)
(Intro ng 1987 ABS-CBN instrumental jingle, with the six-note "A-B-S-C-B-N"
signature)
VO: ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation... DZMM Sais Trenta, ang Himpilan ng
Malayang Mamamayan!
(Ernie Angeles, himself an ABS-CBN veteran, voiced the original S/ID, but was later
re-recorded by Peter "Rabbit/Ka Peter" Musngi himself)
Jay Sonza: You are listening to a catholic broadcast network ABS-CBN. Ang
Katolikong himpilan ng ABS-CBN ay kasapi sa KBP... Kapisanan ng mga
Broadkaster sa Pilipinas... Ang tumpak na oras para sa kapakanan ng lahat na
Kristyano at Muslim dito sa Bansa, ay ganap ng makalipas ang alas nuebe... Patuloy
kayong nakikinig sa Katolikong palatuntunan ng Mel and Jay.
(Commercial gap)
Jay Sonza: Ito po ang Mel and Jay... Ang Pambansang Broadcast sa Radyo... Kasama
po ang inyong lingkod Mel Tiangco... Lumaki sa mga madre sa Saint Theresas isang
Katoliko sarado. At ang inyong lingkod Jay Sonza, isang dating seminarian...
Selected members of media listened to this portion. Of course the wit of the Pinoys
one came out with something like: "Cardinal Tagle may be living in the house of Sin,
while others living"
The Catholic Bishops Conference of The Philippines has appointed GMA-7 as the
official television carrier for the event. The coverage will be live. (No commercials.
Can you imagine asking the Pope to pause for commercial breaks! Other television
networks may apply for limited rights such as hook-ups. There will be a Broadcast
Center to facilitate all other local and international media organizations and their
requirements. These events were the first to be produced and broadcast entirely in
16:9 1920 pixels 1080 lines (2.1 megapixels) temporal resolution of 60 interlaced
fields per second digital high-definition)
When GMA won the bid they also carry the responsibility of providing full coverage
of the events. This will mean huge investments in equipment, man-hours and other
25

resources. Also, a substantial portion of the revenues that they will be able to raise
from sponsors of their coverage, will help pay for the many expenses expected by
CBCP as hosts of the two significant events. GMA will put into effect the most
comprehensive live coverage of the Papal Visit and Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary
Festival 2014 activities with more than 40 hours of live broadcast and specials.
GMA has assembled an army of over 450 production and news specialists together
with over 10 remote broadcast teams to simultaneously cover all the sites of the
Pope's appearance.
GMA broadcasts live coverages pre-empting regular programming beginning October
23 with the Pontiff's arrival at 2:00 p.m. On October 24, the live coverage of his
courtesy visit to Malacanang airs at 9 A.M. and the Pope's special message airs at 5
p.m.
On day three of the Papal visit (October 25), the live coverage of the Quadricentennial
Mass airs at 8:00 A.M. and the Sapphire Jubilee of Radio Veritas Asia and the 36th
Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) at 4:00 P.M. Television viewers will see the
Pope and the participants together at the Youth Vigil.
On October 25, the live coverage of the Anniversary Celebration of Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide airs at 3:00 p.m. on Channel 11. A statement, prepared by the
leaders of the International Youth Forum and the foreign delegates to the 65th Session
of the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for the Western
Pacific region, International Information Technology-Business Process Management
Summit and local delegates to the 40th Philippine Business Conference and Expo
2014, will be presented during the Holy Mass.
Finally, on October 27, televiewers will see Pope Francis departure for Papua New
Guinea at 7:00 P.M. The Marathon Papal coverages will be anchored by broadcast
journalists Malou Mangahas and Cheche Lazaro, plus the pool of GMA Radio and
Television reporters stationed at various points all over Manila.

Vessels, conduct of
processions to be finalized
before October 26
Regardless of this weeks weather, timing and sequencing are everything as far as the
fluvial and foot processions for the arrival of the Saint Pedro Calungsod image in
Manila on Friday is concerned.
This point was emphasized by both the Coast Guard and organizers after yesterdays
dry run for the twin events scheduled for the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation
International Family Appointment with El Shaddai for the birthday celebration of
Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual director
Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva and the grand prayer assembly and annual founding
anniversary celebration of evangelical born-again Christian and Roman Catholic
Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide on
October 25-27 at the Rizal Park.
An all weather liturgical celebration is anticipated by organizers of the event at the
Rizal Park, Manila.
Since October 26 is the day, the Manila Archdiocese projects attendance at 700,000 or
close to a 2 million.
Barring last minute changes, about 200 vessels are expected to join the fluvial
procession that starts at the Manila North Harbour at 2 p.m.
Yesterdays dry run ended with the San Pedro Calungsod image arriving earlier than
scheduled at the Rizal Park, Manila.
2

The arrival of the image at the SRP must sync with the foot procession. Adjustments
will be made before the Thanksgiving Mass on October 26, said Msgr. Marnell
Mejia, chairman of the fluvial procession committee.
Thousands of devotees are expected to join the foot procession that will see the Saint
Pedro Calungsod image arriving at the Manila port area from the Ouano wharf in
Mandaue City and being transported to the Calungsod shrine in D. Jakosalem St.
The Calungsod image, which toured the country as part of its Duaw Nasud, will arrive
in Manila on Wednesday, October 22 this week from Talibon town, Bohol for the
fluvial and foot processions.
Yesterdays dry run for the fluvial procession was held at the Ouano wharf in
Mandaue City where the galleon San Diego was docked. The vessel passed by the
Cebu International Port (CIP) stretch.
During the actual fluvial procession, the image will be accompanied on board the
galleon by representatives from the Cebu Archdiocese, Archdiocese of Agana, Guam,
Jesuits, and some catechists and some youths.
The proa, a Malay word for a small paddle boat met the galleon a few meters away
from the docking platform at the SRP.
The platform is located in front of the pathway going to the templete.
Permits
Fr. Charles Jayme, official custodian of the pilgrim image of Saint Pedro Calungsod,
went down from the galleon to ride the small boat that headed towards the docking
platform.
On spotting the vessel, catechists will blow the budyong or large sea shells towards
the seawall to signal the arrival of the Saint Pedro Calungsod image at the back of
Quirino Grandstand.
Mejia said the image should be at the templete at 4:30 p.m.
A press briefing was conducted later in the afternoon by organizers and the Naval
Forces Central (NavForCen) at the latters headquarters in barangay Looc, Lapu-Lapu
City.
Coast Guard commander Captain Rolando Punzalan said participating vessels should
secure special permits from the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) or else they
wont be allowed to join the fluvial procession.
He said their office is waiting for the official list of registered vessels for Thursdays
fluvial parade.
Navforcen chief Commodore Leopoldo Alano told reporters that marshals of the
Coast Guard and Navforcen will secure the galleon using two Navy multi-purpose
attack craft (MPAC).
Suspension
A Naval Special Operations Unit (NavSOU) 5 team will also be on hand for the event,
he said.
Those who still insist on joining the fluvial procession even without permits will be
issued maritime violations, Punzalan said.
They may even face suspension from the Marina.
Devotees on board open vessels should wear life jackets for safety, Punzalan said.
Vessels that would follow the fluvial procession would be barred from joining the
main fleet, he said.
Punzalan said they are only waiting for word from the state weather bureau Pagasa to
decide whether or not a fluvial parade will push through.
He said if PAGASA declares a storm signal, the procession wont proceed.
2

Punzalan said they would have to receive official notice from Pag-asas Mactan
bureau but added that evaluation of local weather conditions would also be done prior
to deciding whether to proceed or drop the event altogether.
On Saturday, October 25, a motorcade will start from the Cebu Metropolitan
Cathedral to the SRP chapel at 2 p.m.
This is followed by the consecration of the SRP chapel with overseas workers
pilgrims an hour later. /Carmel Loise Matus, Correspondent

Pope gets grand welcome.

Manila, Philippines, October 24, 2014 - In his fifth trip and his first to this country,
Pope Francis called on the people to "see the world around you through the eyes of
Jesus Himself.
Looking less fit than his previous pastoral and state visit of deceased former
Pope John Paul II in the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia and Sri Lanka 19
years, 11 months and 30 days ago on January 12 to 21, 1995.
Addressing the crowd from a specially-built stage on the tarmac, the pope said, The
Filipino people are never far from my mind and heart, and I reach out to embrace each
one in esteem and affection.
Pope Francis called on the people to reflect the theme of the anniversary celebration
of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide: Pursue peace with all people, and holiness,
without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the
grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many
become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one
morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to
inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he
sought it diligently with tears. For you have not come to the mountain that may be
touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, and the
sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the
word should not be spoken to them anymore. (For they could not endure what was
commanded: And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or
shot with an arrow. And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, I am
exceedingly afraid and trembling.) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to
the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God
the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the
new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that
of Abel. See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who
refused Him who spoke on earth, much moreshall we not escape if we turn away from
Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has
promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven. Now
3
this, Yet once more, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as
of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have
grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our
God is a consuming fire.
When the Pope ended his short speech with Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! the crowd went
wild waving handkerchiefs, pennants and flags.
In an unprecedented move, Pope Francis approached the schoolchildren, garbed in
native costumes and who had come to dance for him, instead of boarding the
popemobile as scheduled.
Security measures went awry as people took the opportunity to move near the pope
and receive the blessing. Finally boarding the specially build vehicle an hour after he
arrived, the Pope took a Moment to raise his hands before members of the joint
Vatican and Presidential Security Group guards closed the door.
Until he arrived at the Papal Nunciature 50 minutes later, the aging pontiff continued
to wave to the throngs who braved the heat to greet him along Roxas Boulevard,
Quirino Avenue and Taft Avenue.
Throngs of Roman Catholic faithful waved flags and shouted Viva Il Papa! as the
pontiff made his way to the Apostolic Nunciature, his official residence for his fiveday stay in Manila.
Travelling along the designated route from the Old Manila International Airport in
Pasay City to the Nunciature in Taft Avenue, Manila the 76-year-old Pope was met
each time with huge crowds who circled his specially made, bullet-proof
popemobile. So thick were the crowds that what would have been a 15-minute trip
stretched to 50 minutes. In some areas, the crowd may have 30 to 40 deep, barely
allowing the Papal convoy passage.
On his arrival, the Pope addressed the youth and invited them to [s]ee the world
around you with the eyes of Jesus himself! The Gospel says that when he saw the
crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd.
The Pope had arrived as scheduled at 2:57 p.m. on board an Air Alitalia Airbus A340300. He paused to greet the Airport crowd before being accompanied down from the
plane by Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, Archbishop of Manila and Archbishop
Giuseppe Pinto, Papal Nuncio to the Philippines.
The Pope was met by President Bengino S. Aquino III and his sisters, Maria Elena
Aquino-Cruz, Aurora Corazon Aquino-Abellada, Victoria Elisa Aquino-Dee and
Kristina Bernadette Aquino-Yap, who were the first to greet them officially.
The National Anthems of the Republic of the Philippines and Vatican City State were
played as he went through the cordon of honor and greeted Filipino officials and
members of the diplomatic corps.
Among those on hand to welcome Pope Francis on his first visit were Philippine
Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay, Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa, Jr., Senate
President Franklin M. Drilon, Speaker Feliciano R. Belmonte, Jr., Foreign Affairs
Secretary Albert F. del Rosario and Philippine Ambassador to Vatican Mercedes
Arrastia Tuason.
Former President Fidel V. Ramos, Manila City Mayor Joseph Ejercito-Estrada and
Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo were also among his first
welcomers.
Filipinos never far, from

my mind, heart
WELCOME CEREMONY: ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS, POPE FRANCIS
(Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Thursday, October
23, 2014)
Dear President Aquino, Dear People of the Philippines,
1. I thank you, Mister President, for your kind words of welcome, full of the warmth
and hospitality with which Filipinos traditionally welcome their guests. I greatly
appreciate all that you and your Government have done to make this visit possible.
For a long time I have looked forward to stepping on to Philippine soil once more.
The Filipino people are never far from my mind and heart, and I reach out to embrace
each one with esteem and affection. We are indeed old friends, ever since I assumed
as pope on March 13, 2013.
2. My Brother Bishops, Cardinal Tagle and Cardinal Palma, and all the Bishops
whom I gladly greet in the Lord expressed many times their wish for the Successor
of Peter to share the joy of Filipino Catholics on the Fourth Centenary of the
Archdioceses of Manila, Cebu, Caceres and Nueva Segovia. I am here to celebrate
with the Catholic community of the Philippines four hundred and twenty years of
the organized and hierarchical presence and action of the Church in these
Islands. That first evangelization has produced enduring fruits of Christian life and
holiness, of civilizing action, of the transmission especially through a strong family
life of fundamental human and civic values. As the next presidential administration
approaches, we should all be convinced that those fruits can thrive even more in
7

concerted action by all sectors of society, in the building of a nation resolutely set on
the path of genuine and integral development, and fully committed to the wellbeing of
all its citizens, with special concern for the weakest.
3. The thought of celebrating the annual founding anniversary of the Evangelical
Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal
religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide, founded by activist and
Evangelical Born Again Christian religious preacher Bishop Bro. Eddie
Villanueva, in the Philippines, in Asia, has gladdened me and given me
encouragement. The Spirit of God has led thousands of men and women here and they
are now filling the streets of Manila with their youthful joy and Christian witness. A
large group of them are right here. I greet each one of you: I warmly embrace every
person here, all the people of the Philippines, and all those who have come from other
countries and continents. At Rio de Janerio, Brazil, during the 28th World Youth Day
outside Rome, we meditated on the new life which comes from Jesus Christ: Go
and Make Disciples of All Nations (Matthew 28:19). Now, here in Manila, we
gather to hear him say: Pursue Peace and Be Holy, Without Which No One Can
See God (Hebrews 12:14). During these days we shall reflect on and pray about
what these words mean for each one of you, for the people of the end of the Twentieth
Century in 2015, the people of the Third Christian Millennium 2016.
4. to all Filipino people, to all gathered for the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
Anniversary Festival, I make this invitation: See the world around you with the eyes
of Jesus himself! The Gospel says that when he saw the crowds, he had compassion
for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd
(Matthew chapter 9 verse 36). The Good News of Gods love and mercy the word
of truth, justice and peace which alone can inspire a life worthy of Gods sons and
daughters must be proclaimed to the ends of the earth. The Church and the world
look to young people for new light, new love, a new commitment to meeting the great
needs of humanity.
The people gathered in Manila for the annual founding anniversary celebration of the
Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic
renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide know this. The
Church in the Philippines knows that it has a special vocation to bear witness to the
Gospel in the heart of Asia. Guided by Divine Providence, your historic destiny is to
build a "civilization of love", of brotherhood and solidarity, a civilization which will
be perfectly at home among the ancient cultures and traditions of the whole Asian
continent.
5. Mister President, members of the Government, and distinguished representatives of
the Filipino people: the Church and the political community work on different levels
and are mutually independent, but they serve the same human beings (cfr. Gaudium et
Spes, 76). In that service there is ample room for dialogue, cooperation and mutual
support. You have a very valid and specifically Philippine model of cooperation for
development in The Social Pact, formally signed in March 1993. I pray that the "new
solidarity" which The Social Pact espouses will be a striking success for the good of
the Filipino people, and for the pride and glory of the Nation as a beacon of peace and
harmony in Asia.

One-on-one: President
Aquino scores point with
the Pope.
Manila, Philippines, October 25, 2014 - President Benigno S. Aquino III won points
with Pope Francis when he talked on his social reform agenda - programs meant to
uplift the lives of the poor - during the brief meeting at Malacanang on October 24.
The President informed the Pontiff of his commitment to help disadvantaged sectors
of society - particularly in the 19 poorest provinces - hand-in-hand with the
continuing economic progress of the country.
This was their second encounter since Mr. Aquino visited the Pope at his summer
residence at Castel Gandolfo, a few miles from Rome.
The Papal motorcade was slowed down by a thick crowd that lined-up the street from
Magsaysay Boulevard near Nagtahan Bridge up to Gate 7 of the Palace near St. Jude
Church.
The Pope was expected to arrive at the Palace by 8:50 a.m., but he came at 9:10 a.m.
The Pope and his entourage were met by the President and his sisters Ballsy, Pinky,
Viel and Kris. The Pope went up the stairway, instead of taking the elevator prepared
for him.
The Pontiff and the President had a 20-minute one-on-one meeting at the Music
Room.
During their meeting, the Pope reiterated his special affection for the Filipino People
which he has demonstrated by personally choosing Manila as venue for the Visit.
The Pope also entrusted the Basilica of Santa Prudenziana to the Filipino Community
of Rome.
Mr. Aquino informed the Pontiff that the Government had extended the franchise for
another 990 years (2014-2124) and changing from analog to digital radio broadcast
service of DZRV Radio Veritas 846; the Philippine Roman Catholic Religious
commercial AM radio broadcast station.
I also conveyed the Filipino peoples admiration for the commitment and courage
shown by His Holiness when he installed on March 13, 2013, despite his installation
day as Pope of the Roman Catholic Church after the resignation of Pope Benedict the
16th on February 11, 2013, the President said.
He said he also briefed the Holy Father of the Governments Development
Assurance Program fund and firm resolve and desire for peace with insurgents and
rebels.
I assured His Holiness that the Philippine Government is determined to keep all
doors open for our peace progress to succeed and that the Government recognizes that
10

the Basis of Authentic Peace is the promotion of Human Dignity through Social
Justice, the President said.
Toward the end of their Meeting, Mr. Aquino gave a set of gifts that included a solid,
narra woodcarving of the Virgin and child surrounded by children of all races
designed by artist Manuel Baldemor, a bronze statue of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz and a
copy of the President's latest book entitled: From Growth to Modernization.
For his part, the Pope presented the President with a mosaic painting of Jesus. While
the Pope and the President were meeting, the Papal Delegation led by held a bilateral
meeting led by Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto del Rosario, Jr. and Executive
Secretary Pacquito Jojo Ochoa, Jr.
The Pope had a private audience with the Members of the Aquino Family,
government officials, business leaders, showbiz personalities and sports icons at the

The First Family had their picture taken with the Pope. The Pope was then introduced
to the Members of the Cabinet led by Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay, Sr.
While descending at the stairway, the Pope was attended but held on the railing. The
Papal Entourage left the Palace at 10:10 A.M.

Before boarding the Popemobile, the Pope gave the President a firm handshake and
waved to swarms of the cheering Malacanang employees and mediamen.

Solving energy crisis, port

congestion yet to be
crossed off Aquino to-do
list
President Benigno Aquino III on Friday assured the business sector that the
government is addressing concerns on energy and port congestion although both are
still a work in progress.
This is not the first time we have heard about these matters, and I can assure you that
practically all aspects of your resolutions are already being addressed by
government, he said during the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industrys
(PCCI) 40th Philippine Business Conference (PBC) held at the Manila Hotel.
However, he said of the port congestion problem, Some might say that we can cross
that off the to-do list, but in reality, the situation is far more complex.
After receiving a copy of the PBCs resolution listing down the sectors
recommendations to boost the countrys competitiveness, Aquino said the government
has already started working on some of issues.
In communicating to us your concerns and advocacies, you are helping to pinpoint
areas that can be improved, so that we can sooner achieve our goal of inclusive
growth, he said.
Energy investments
Aquino, however, admitted that an integrated and sustainable energy power
development roadmap is still a work in progress.
He said the current power situation where energy supply is produced just in time
should be changed.
The work will be infinitely faster and more efficient with the cooperation of the
business sector. There are around three major entities in power today who are putting
their money where their mouth is and in their trust in the Filipino people, and are
investing in the sector, even without long term power purchase agreements or power
supply contracts, the President said. We hope that more investors will follow suit
and will seek ways and means to encourage more in following their track.
Port congestion
On the other hand, Aquino gave a rundown of the measures implemented to address
the port congestion in Manila, which had spilled over and resulted in heavy traffic in
the metropolis.
The issue of port congestion has been a paramount concern since the truck ban; we
know just how much it has affected, and can affect, the conduct of business in the
country, he admitted.
2

Aquino assured that local officials and Cabinet Secretary Rene Almendras are
working hard to address the issue.
He said the government has already offered the Subic and Batangas ports as
extensions of the port of Manila. To encourage more people to use these ports, the
government has already lowered fees and costs.
The Philippine National Police has likewise ramped up their operations against
hijackers, to ensure the safe passage of cargo. On the ground, the police have
intensified their presence along our roads and highways, especially in areas identified
to be prone to hijacking and carnapping, and this has not been done just recently, but
even as far back as about two years ago, he added.
Aquino said there have already been improvements such as the 94 percent utilization
of the Port of Batangas, a substantial increase from only 20 to 25 percent in the past.
The President, however, admitted that finding answers for the port congestion issue
still cannot be crossed off his to-do list.
Diverting traffic to Subic and Batangas is only a short-term solution; high utilization
rates for both may mean that we run the risk of transferring the problem we
encountered in the Port of Manila to those very ports, he said, adding that weekend
operations may be more effective.
Data from the Philippine Ports Authority, however, show that there are very few
individuals and organizations taking advantage of (the Bureau of Customs and port
operators weekend operations). Only an average of 1,100 containers are moved on
Sundays, which represent less than a third of the average number of containers moved
on other days of the week, he said.
The issue of port congestion is among the major issues the business sector is
concerned with.
Aquino said government can come up with a solution through active participation of
the private sector.
Competitive Philippines
Nevertheless, the President said the past four years have shown the results of the
governments commitment to turn the tide of the Philippine economy.
The Philippines is ranked investment grade and continues to climb global
competitiveness rankings. Our economy remains strong, with growth at 6.4 percent in
the second quarter of this year. Even more good news, the first half of 2014 attracted
net foreign direct investments of $3.57 billion, almost 80 percent higher than the FDI
recorded in the same period in 2013. Manufacturing has rebounded, with 8.8 percent
growth in the first half of 2014, and exports are up, he said.
Aquino said his government is not only implementing measures as a reaction to
pressing events.
More importantly, we are strategizing for the future. In each and every endeavor,
however, the private sector must likewise do its part, he said.
He reminded the businessmen that the government wants them to succeed and create
more job opportunities for Filipinos.
Your growth redounds to increased livelihood opportunities for our people, which in
turn redound to an empowered consumer base and a productive citizenry able to take
part in spurring the growth of our economy and of our region, he said.

Aquino seeks business

sectors help
By Nikko Dizon
President Benigno Aquino III on Friday acknowledged that a lot of work has to be
done in reforming the power sector and decongesting the Manila port, both pressing
concerns that the business sector raised at an annual gathering of local and
international industry and government leaders.
At the 40th Philippine Business Conference and Expo (PBC), business leaders
presented Mr. Aquino their wish listwhich they call resolutionsfor the
government to address problems concerning energy and power, education and human
resources development, the 2015 integration of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN), the port and traffic congestion, communications, transportation
and infrastructure, agriculture and the rehabilitation of Eastern Visayas, which was
battered by Supertyphoon Yolanda on November 8 last year and Metro Manila and
Luzon provinces which was battered by Supertyphoon Glenda last July 16 and
Luis and Mario last September 14 and 19 this year.
In his speech, the President said the resolutions represent your sectors vision of
building a more progressive nation, and expressed appreciation for bringing them to
the attention of the government.
However, he also urged the business sector to do its part while government
strategizes for the future.
President Aquino noted that while the governments solutions to the Manila port
congestion has relatively been effective, in reality, the situation is far more
complex.
He said the Bureau of Customs and the port operators have been open on weekends to
facilitate movement of cargo but data from the Philippine Ports Authority showed that
very few business entities have taken advantage of the extended working hours.
The President said only an average 1,100 containers are moved on Sundays, which
represent less than a third of the average number of containers moved on other days of
the week.
The government can only do so much: Our main purpose is to be an enabler. That
being the case, solutions require the enabledin this case the private sectorto
reciprocate through active participation, he said.
Change the business model
One PBC resolution urged the national government to formulate an integrated and
sustainable energy and power development roadmap with a clear, definite target level
of power supply capacity and rate.
Efforts to reform the power industry, as embodied in Epira (Electric Power Industry
Reform Act), are still a work in progress, and this is understandable, given the fact
that our power industry is really a unique industry, the President said.
He urged the private sector to follow the lead of some major entities which have
invested in the power sector without long-term power purchase agreements or power
supply contracts.
He said this was unlike the industry practice where power plants have typically sold
all of their output even before the facility have been constructed.

Just-in-time supplies of energy do not engender more investments. Therefore, there
is a need to change the business model, and that is also a work in progress. The work
will be infinitely faster and more efficient with the cooperation of the business
sector, he said.
One of the PBCs resolutions included urging the national government to have
strategies and programs to allow Philippine brands and small and medium enterprises
to become competitive as the Asean integration takes place next year.
Emphasizing the need to solve the traffic congestion in the countrys capital, the
businessmen suggested that the national government, the Metro Manila Development
Authority (MMDA) and the local governments in Metro Manila instill discipline
among road users, promote road-use efficiency and safety, enforce pick-up and dropoff points for passengers and designate terminals for public utility vehicles.
Nangako ang Pangulong Aquino na lulunasan ang problema sa enerhiya at port
congestion
Nangako ang Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino III Biyernes na lulunasan niya ang mga
bagay na ikinababahala ng sektor ng negosyo, lalo na ang tungkol sa sapat na
koryente at siksikan sa mga daungan upang matamo ng bansa ang hangaring
malawakang kaunlaran.
Sa harap ng daan-daang mga pangunahing pinuno at lider ng negosyo sa bansa sa
idinaos na 40th Philippine Business Conference and Expo sa Manila Hotel,
pinasalamatan ng Pangulo ang mga negosyante sa pagpapatibay ng resolusyong
makatutulong upang matukoy ng pamahalaan ang mga kailangang lunasan.
Bayaan ninyong ako ang unang magsabi na magkasundo tayo sa mga inaalaala
ninyo. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataong napakinggan natin ang mga bagay na ito at
tinitiyak ko sa inyo na ang lahat halos ng laman ng inyong resolusyon ay tinutugunan
na ng pamahalaan, sabi ng Pangulong Aquino.
Tungkol sa pagbalangkas ng pinagsanib at patuloy na energy and power development
roadmap, binigyang diin ng Pangulo na kasalukuyan nang ginagawa ang reporma sa
industriya ng koryente na tulad nang nakasaad sa Electric Power Industry Reform Act
(EPIRA).
Sinabi rin ng Pangulo na sa panahong hindi nakaaakit nang dagdag na puhunan ang
enerhiya kaya ginagawa na nila ngayon ang pagbabagong kailangan sa business
model.
Magiging higit na mabilis at mabisa ang gawaing ito sa tulong ng sektor ng
negosyo, sabi pa ng Pangulong Aquino.
Idinugtong niya na tatlo ang major entities ngayon sa koryente na namumuhunan sa
sector kahit wala pa ang long-term power purchase agreements o kontrata tungkol sa
power supply, wika ng Pangulo at idinagdag na umaasa siya na higit na maraming
imbestor ang papasok at maghahanap ng paraan upang maakit ang iba pa na sumunod
sa kanila.

Sa gitgitan naman sa daungan, sinabi ng Pangulo na kabalikat na ng mga ahensiya ng
pamahalaan sa pangunguna ni Kalihim Jose Rene Almendras ang pribadong sector
upang lunasan ang mga bagay na ito.
Binanggit ng Pangulo ang Kautusang Tagapagpaganap 172 na nagtatalaga sa mga
daungan ng Subic at Batangas bilang pansamantalang sangay ng Port of Manila sa
mga panahon na tambak ang mga nakatinggal na container vans doon at iba pang mga
prolema.
Ibinaba na ang presyo bilang tulong sa mga importador na sa nasabing mga daungan
ilapag ang kanilang mga inangkat. Sa pagkaalam ko, 90 porsiyento ang ibinigay sa
port charges para mahikayat ang mga shippers na dito idaong ang inangkat nila, wika
ng Pangulo.
Inihayag ng Pangulo na sa kasalukuyan, umabot na sa 94 porsiyento ang gumagamit
sa Batangas Port mula sa dating 20 hanggang 25 porsiyento lamang.
Ayon sa Pangulong Aquino, pansamantalang lunas lamang ang paglipat sa Batangas
at Subic dahil baka hindi magluwat, danasin din doon ang mga suliraning dinaranas
ng Port of Manila.
Binigyang diin ng Pangulo na dahil sa port congestion ay patuloy kahit Sabado at
Linggo ang paghahakot mula sa Port of Manila. Kaalinsabay nito, tiniyak ng Pangulo
na ang Kawanihan ng Aduana at mga port operators ay magbubukas din Sabado at
Linggo para mabilis ang paghahakot ng mga kargamento.
Bukod dito ang pinag-ibayong kampanya ng Pambansang Pulisya laban sa mga
hijackers upang matiyak na ligtas na maihahatid ang mga kargamento kung saan ito
dadalhin.
Ginagawa ang lahat nang ito sapagkat ibig namin na ang lahat nang narito ngayon at
ang marami pang ibang negosyo sa buong bansa ay magtagumpay, sabi ng Pangulo.
Ang pag-unlad ninyo ay mangangahulugan ng higit na pagkakataon sa buhay ng
ating mga kababayan na hahantong naman sa paglakas ng consumer base at ng
produktibong mamamayang magiging sandigan ng pag-unlad ng ating kabuhayan at
ng ating rehiyon, mariing wika ng Pangulo.
Hiniling ng Pangulong Aquino sa mga negosyante ng bansa na makiisa sa pamahalaan
sa pagkakaroon ng ibayo pang puspusang pakikiisa at pagtutulungang nilakipan ng
higit ding pagsisikap upang malakdawan ang mga pagsubok na kanilang kinakaharap.
Second day for Pope fever.

Manila, Philippines, October 25, 2014 - Filipino enthusiasm for Pope Francis
remained unabated yesterday as devout thousands flocked to the University of Santo
Tomas, the oldest Catholic and only pontifical university in Asia.

Francis loves you, the Pontiff told an estimated 300,000 flag-waving, cheering
Filipinos, many of whom had been waiting in the broiling heat for over six hours.
I hear and I feel, a smiling but visibly drawn Pope Francis told the faithful after
they had repeatedly chanted, Francis, Francis, we love you.
Earlier, UST Rector Fr. Herminio Dagohoy has expressed the sentiments of the crowd
and said, We hope that the love you, feel for us has doubled in intensity because this
is your visit.
Karina Torralba, speaking for the visit, assured the Pope that the people have not
abandoned the Church.
We seek you, Holy Father, together with your clergy, she said. Continue to help us
strengthen our faith and to live with conviction our Christian faith.
The pontiff continued to endear himself to the people as he used every opportunity to
make himself visible to them, even climbing the ramp to the sage despite his injury.
To shouts of Mabuhay! and Viva il Papa! the Pope commended the Filipino
People for their joyous hospitality in celebration of the founding anniversary of the
religious group Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide at the Rizal Park on October 25 to
27.
I am very grateful, he said repeatedly.
He said it was a great privilege to address the Thomasian community and that he has a
special affinity to UST, having visited the Campus twice.
As early as 4:00 a.m. yesterday, hundreds of Catholic faithful had gathered at the
downtown university in anticipation of the Popes visit after the main gate was forced
open.
Although the seven-hectare football field were the rally held a capacity of only
150,000 more and more people crammed their way in. Nearby buildings and a
pedestrian overpass were brimming with those who could no longer enter the campus.
Despite the long wait and huge turn-out, the rally was generally peaceful.
A New Hero on Campus

for the multiracial group.
MANILA, Philippines, October 25, 2014 I am very anxious to meet you
personally after the Celebration to be near every one of you from so many different
languages, countries and nations of the world...
This was the response of Pope Francis to the hundreds of beaming to the hundreds of
beaming and jubilant delegates of the International Youth Forum (IYF) who attended
the multi-lingual mass he celebrated at the University of Santo Tomas on October 24,
2014.
The Gospel was read. The first reading, followed by the singing of Responsible Psalm
while the second reading was in English.
The Pope speaks and writes in nine languages:
Filipino
Kampanganan
Hiligaynon
Ilokano
Central Bikol
Capiznon

Aklan

Zhangjiakou
Russian
Hohhot dialect
Tatar
Hong Kong
Chuvash
Cantonese
Bashkir
Gan Chinese

Japanese
For an hour, the Pontiff remained on his feet to bless and greet each IYF and PBC&E
delegate in their respective national costumes that queued and thronged down the
aisles of the Saint Thomas Aquinas Chapel of the Central Seminary of the University
of Santo Tomas.
Touched, many were in tears as they kissed and hugged the Holy Father Pope Francis,
who gave them his fatherly kiss, a caress and even brushed away their tears.
Simultaneously, the Chapel reverberated with songs in different languages, brought in
by the delegates from their 226 countries.
But the familiar sound of a Filipino harp stood out, giving an upbeat Filipino flavor to
the whole affair.
I see the People in the Philippines very joyous, the Pope Adlibbed in his homily to
the delight of his young audience.
Why are they so joyous, full of Joy? I am convinced you Filipino people are joyous,
so full of joy because you have received the Good Newsthose who received the
Good News (are) joyous (You give) joy to God, today you are giving the joy to the
Pope. You are also giving joy to the Cardinals, to the Bishops, the priests, the
monsignors, the deacons, and the pastors and to all of you. And I and all of us, we are
so grateful to the Filipinos for the joyous hospitality As my personal conviction, it
was so important for me to hear these words: I am with you. Be not afraid.
At the UST Grandstand
Despite the long morning audience at the University of Santo Tomas Chapel, the
Pontiff skipped his lunch and proceeded to the UST Grandstand at 1:30 p.m. to
address the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) memberschool students and alumni and guests during the October 26 Papal Mass at Luneta
Grandstand who had been on vigil since 5:00 a.m.
By the time the ceremonies began the crowd swelled from 80,000 to 300,000
estimated to be twice over the 150,000 expected turnouts.
While alighting from the pope mobile a cheering crowd began unfurling banners,
flags and streamers and chanting Francis, we love you.
The Pope grabbed the microphone by the rostrum and quipped, Francis, he loves
you!
I hear and feel, the pope said.
He sought the help of the UAAP member-schools students and alumni in saving their
own generations from the futility, emptiness and frustration of modern society.

Answers the call, Pope

tells youth
Pope Francis, drawing huge, enthusiastic crowds for the second day yesterday,
appealed to young Asian Catholics to join religious orders and devote their lives to
spreading the faith in the year 2016.
Tens of thousands of people jammed the streets as the Pope motored through the city,
first to a meeting with President Benigno Aquino III and later to a Mass at the
University of Santo Tomas, the oldest Catholic University in Asia.
Undisclosed venue
The crowd included about 50 Vietnamese who escaped a refugee camp 590
kilometers south of Manila to see the Pope. Organizers were keeping theme at an
undisclosed venue to prevent authorities from apprehending them and deporting them
to Vietnam.
Huge crowds, estimated by police at 3.5 million, turned out Thursday to welcome the
Pope on his first stop of eight-nation Asian tour. He leaves Monday for Papua New
Guinea and will also visit Singapore, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and Sri Lanka
during the 24-day pilgrimage. During a Mass for about 300 delegates to the 12th
International Youth Forum at a University Chapel, the Pope said the Church faces
special challenges in Asia, home of two-thirds of the world's people but where
Christians number only about three percent.
Nearly half of all Asian Christians are Filipinos. Spanish missionaries brought
Catholicism to the Philippines in the 16th Century, and about 85 percent of the 66
million Filipino are nominally Catholic.
Big tasks.
Enormous tasks lie before the People of the World, especially before Catholic People
of the Philippines of Asia and the Far East on the Eve of the New Year 2016, the
Pope said.
The Largest Mission Land is in need of workers, and the Church constantly prays the
Lord the Harvest to send them.
He said most young and senior Catholics will marry but some will receive a call to
the Priesthood or Religious Life... But Do Not Be Afraid. His demands are also the
measure of his Love for each of you personally.
Filipino enthusiasm for the 76-year-old Pontiff remained unabated Friday. The Pope
was about 10 minutes late for his meeting with Aquino III because of large crowd
gathered outside the residence of the Vatican Ambassador where the Pontiff is
staying.
Francis was to have motored to Aquino's office by limousine. But thousands of
Filipinos outside the residence chanting We Want to See the Pope. Some had slept
on the sidewalk all night to make sure they were in a good position to see the Pope.
The Popemobile, which had been sent ahead to the Presidential Office, had to be
recalled the Pontiff could be seen by the crowds as he drove to the Presidential
Meeting.

Hanging from a Palace balcony was a 30-foot long computer print-out that declared:
"WELCOME! HIS HOLINESS POPE."

During his homily, the Pope departed from his prepared text, delivered in English, to
thank Filipinos for their enthusiastic welcome.
His demands are a

measures of his love
Text of Pope Francis' homily during Holy Mass he celebrated at the University of
Santo Tomas yesterday.
Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (Mark 10,17).
Dear Friends in Christ,
1. A young man once asked Jesus this question. In reply, Jesus re minded him of
Gods commandments. And when the young man indicated that he had kept all the
commandments from his earliest days, Jesus looked at him with love and said: You
lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow me (Mc10,21).
Come, follow me! The call which the Lord addressed that day to the young man in
the Gospel reechoes in our time. The Church repeats this call when the Pope, the
Bishops, and those involved in the pastoral care of people invite them to gather
together. There are many such occasions for young people to meet: in their parishes
and Dioceses, and for the past twenty-nine years at the World Youth Days; in Rome,
then in Buenos Aires in Argentina, later in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, later
in Jasna Gra, Czstochowa in Poland, in Denver in the state of Colorado, United
States of America. Today we are here in Manila, in the Philippines, in Far East, in
Asia after 19 years. Even though there are delegations here from most of the worlds
countries, we have to say that this is, in a special way, the World Youth Day of the
Churches of Asia and the Far East.
2. The Eleventh International Youth Forum, organized by the Pontifical Council for
the Laity, under the presidency of Cardinal Stanisaw Ryko, has brought together the
delegates of the Bishops Conferences, and of international Movements, Associations
and Ecclesial Groups, to share their experiences in the apostolate in different parts of
the world, and to reflect on the theme of the Anniversary Celebration of Evangelical
Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal religious
movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide.
The theme this year is expressed in the words of Christ to the Apostles after the
Resurrection: Pursue Peace and Be Holy, Without Which No One Can See God
(Hebrews 12:14). Two thousand and nineteen years ago these words set in motion the
Churchs never-ending mission to proclaim the Gospel of salvation to the ends of the
earth. The Lord Jesus said to the Apostles: Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20,22),
and the mission in obedience to these words began on the day of Pentecost, when
the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles and those simple men became the holders of
the divine power which enabled them to announce the Gospel with courage, even to
the shedding of their blood.
3. What do these words mean today? What do they mean for you, young people of the
International Youth Forum?
When Jesus says: Pursue Peace and Be Holy, Without Which No One Can See
God, his words have the same meaning now as they did immediately after the
3

Resurrection. At the same time they always have a new meaning. The task of the
Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary Celebration, and especially the task of the Forum,
is to disclose this meaning, which is both eternal and contemporary. In a way, your
task is to invite the Holy Spirit to this Filipino cenacle, where Jesus words can
become once again a mission, a sending of apostles.
4. It is always Christ who sends. But whom does he send? You, young people, are the
ones he looks upon with love. Christ, who says: Follow me, wants you to live your
lives with a sense of vocation. He wants your lives to have a precise meaning, a
dignity. Most of you are called to marriage and family life; but some will receive a
call to the priesthood or religious life.
In fact there is a representative group of Businessmen, Seminarians, Novices and
young Religious present at this Mass. I greet each one of you and encourage you to be
steadfast in answering the call to a total self-giving love of the Lord. He will make
many demands on you. He will require the fullest commitment of your whole being to
the spreading of the Gospel and to the service of his people.But do not be afraid! His
demands are also the measure of his love for each of you personally.
5. What is it that Christ wants young people to do? The Second Vatican Council has
made us more aware that there are many ways of building up the Church. Every form
of the apostolate is valid and fruitful if it exists in the Church, by the Church and for
the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, spoken of in the teaching of Saint Paul.
The World Youth Day can be for all of you an occasion for discovering your calling,
for discerning the particular path which Christ sets before you. The search and
discovery of Gods will for you is a deep and fascinating endeavor. It requires of you
the attitude of trust expressed in the words of the Psalm used in todays liturgy: The
LORDs are the earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it. For he
founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. (Psalm 24:1). Every
vocation, every path to which Christ calls us, ultimately leads to fulfilment and
happiness, because it leads to God, to sharing in Gods own life.
And I see that the people of the Philippines are very joyous. Why are they so joyous?
I am convinced that you Filipino peoples are so joyous because you received the
Good News. Who is receiving the Good News is joyous, is radiant with joy, and also
is giving the joy to others. Today they are giving that joy to the Pope. They are giving
the same joy to the Cardinals, to the Bishops, to priests, to all of you! And I myself,
and all of us are so grateful to the Filipino peoples for their joyous hospitality.
6. Returning to the text, do not be slow to answer the Lords call! From the passage of
the Book of Exodus read to us in this Mass we can learn how the Lord acts in every
vocation (cf. Ex 3,1-6; 9-12). First, he provokes a new awareness of his presence the
burning bush. When we begin to show an interest he calls us by name. When our
answer becomes more specific and like Moses we say: Here I am (cf. Ex 3,4), then
he reveals more clearly both himself and his compassionate love for his people in
need. Gradually he leads us to discover the practical way in which we should serve
him: I will send you. And usually it is then that fears and doubts come to disturb us
and make it more difficult to decide. It is then that we need to hear the Lords
assurance: I am with you. Every vocation is a deep personal experience of the truth
of these words: I am with you (Ex 3,12). I give to the words my personal
convictions. It was so important for me to hear them. I am with you. Be not afraid!.
So we see that every vocation to the apostolate springs from familiarity with Gods
word and involves being sent to communicate that word to others. These others can
be people who already know the language of the revealed word. But they can also be
4

people who do not yet know that language, as happens in the case of the missionary
vocation. The word of God is unknown to some because they have not yet heard it.
Others have forgotten it, or have abandoned what they once heard. No matter what
the difficulties, the apostle knows that he is not alone: I am always with you. I pray
every day that the Catholic young people of the world will hear the call of Christ and
that their response will be what the Responsorial Psalm says: The Lord is my allotted
portion... I set the Lord ever before me; with him at my right hand I shall not be
disturbed (Ps 15,8).
7. Enormous tasks lie before the youth of the world; especially before the Catholic
youth of the Philippines, of Asia and the Far East, on the eve of the Third Millennium,
December 31, 2015. The largest mission land of the world is in need of workers, and
the Church constantly prays the Lord of the harvest to send them, to send us, to send
you.
As I go to the altar, I wish, together with the Bishops and priests gathered here, to
offer up under the forms of bread and wine all that you, young men and women, carry
in your hearts. The bread and wine will become, in the Eucharist, the Body and Blood
of Christ. When you receive him in Holy Communion, may you have the courage to
listen to his call. Let me express this call in the words of a song (but no singing)
which I learned from young people when I was still in my own country. Their song
goes: Come with me to save the world; for already it is the twentieth century!
Indeed, the year 2015 is now coming to an end. So Christ says: Come with me into
the Third Millennium, to save the world!
I am very anxious to meet you personally after the celebration, and to be near to every
one of you, from so different languages and countries and nations of the whole world.
I am anxious to see you, to come and meet you leaning on this walking-stick.
Pursue Peace and Be Holy, Without Which No One Can See God Amen.

Fourth centenary
During this visit, Pope Francis celebrated Mass to mark the 420th Anniversary of the
Archdiocese of Manila and the Dioceses of Cebu, Caceres and Nueva Segovia at the
Philippine International Convention Center grounds in Pasay City on October 25.
Pope prays for nations

poor, Yolanda victims
Manila, Philippines, October 26, 2014 - Pope Francis voiced concern for the millions
of Filipinos living in poverty and the victims of natural disasters as hundreds of
thousands of people gathered yesterday for a Mass beside Manila Bay in an
outpouring of religious fervor.
In the midst of our joy on this occasion we cannot forget our Filipino brothers and
sisters who live in difficult social and economic conditions, and those who are trying
to recover from the natural disasters which have occurred with a certain frequency in
recent times, he told the crowd. The Pontiff, celebrating the first public mass of his
four-day visit from October 23 to 27, 2014, singled out the victims of the November
8, 2013 Super Typhoon Yolanda whose led to death of at least 5,000 people.
I ask God to strengthen and comfort those who have lost their loved ones, their
homes, their livelihood, and I earnestly hope that their appeals for further help and
solidarity will not go unheard, he said.
Half of the 100 Million Population of the Philippines is considered to be living below
the poverty line, and the country is regularly hit by natural disasters like tropical
storms and earthquakes.
The Pope cautioned people to confuse the church in the Philippines, Asia's only
Christian-majority nation with "some merely human or humanitarian organization."
Official estimates put the crowd at more than a million people but witnesses said it
appeared much smaller.
If the crowd was smaller, than Roman Catholic Church leaders of the Philippines had
hoped for, it made up for the lack of numbers with fervor at the sight of the Pope.
MABUHAY!
At one point, the 76-year-old pontiff replied to the cries of Mabuhay ang Santo Papa
(Long Live the Holy Father) with his own Mabuhay ang Filipino People from the
High Altar specially constructed with a Pyramid Canopy.
At the end of the Mass on the big open area beside a gaudy fairground along Manila
Bay, hundreds of people descended on the flower-decked platform, after the Pope had
left, to snatch souvenirs. Children tried out his throne-like chair.
Security was intense for the Mass marking the 420th Anniversary of the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Manila and other Regions of the Philippine Islands after they
were conquered by Spain.

Even the Popes own Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin was frisked before
being allowed to join archbishops, bishops, cardinals, deacons, monsignors, reverend
fathers, pastors throughout Asia for the Mass.
He smiled broadly as he was checked for weapons with a metal detector, part of the
security measures imposed after the Philippine Police arrested at least two people
suspected of plotting to harm the Pope.
The Pontiff was lifted to the top of the flower-decked platform for the Mass by a
Philippine Airlines Airport Hoist.
And he paid tribute to the spiritual joy of the Filipino people - expressed in their
traditional way through song.
I thank the Filipino people, the Wonderful Filipino people, the Pontiff told the
cheering crowd. My heart is going out to all of them, to all the Filipino men and
women, to all the men and women from all countries of the world.
Yesterday, October 24 was the busiest day of the Popes five-day visit to the
Philippines, which began Thursday, October 23. Following the Morning Mass, he met
with Asian bishops, attended the 45th foundation anniversary of the Catholic shortwave radio station Radio Veritas Asia and visited people during an evening vigil at
Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park.
Vatican sources said the 76-year-old pontiff would also broadcast a message to the 1.2
billion people of China, whose government has refused to allow Roman Catholics to
acknowledge papal supremacy for six decades.
Go and make disciples of

all nations
Pope Francis message at the Mass yesterday at the Philippine International
Convention Center.
"Full authority has been given to me both in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28, 18-19).
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
1. These words from todays Gospel take on a special meaning in the context of the
Jubilee which, together with the Papal Visit, the Church in the Philippines is
celebrating. Four hundred and twenty years ago, in 1595, the first Ecclesiastical
Province was set up on these Islands: the Archdiocese of Manila and the Dioceses of
Cebu, Caceres and Nueva Segovia.
I greet the whole Filipino people, wonderful Filipino people. I greet all their Pastors. I
thank Cardinal Tagle for these kind words of welcome. I greet also His Excellency
President Benigno S. Aquino III and the Authorities.
The establishment of a Metropolitan Church in the Philippines bore witness to the fact
that the work of the first missionaries had borne abundant fruit. The process of
4

planting and building up the Church had already taken place in other parts of the
world, especially in the European countries. In the case of my own Argentina, it had
taken place in the year 1000. Later, the same thing happened in the countries of South
America, Central America and North America. So it happened and continues to
happen in Africa, in Australia and throughout Oceania, and on the continent of Asia.
All this has a meaning that is not just a question of ecclesiastical administration. The
Church is a living body. Like a living body, at a certain point she reaches a stage
of maturity which makes it possible for a particular Church to give life to other
Churches like itself.
Plantatio Ecclesiae. Mysterium plantationis Ecclesiae. Paulus plantavit; Apollo
rigavit. Deus autem incrementum dedit. I see that Filipino people are understanding
very well Latin.
2. Four hundred and twenty years ago the Church in Manila became the Metropolitan
See for the Church in Cebu, Caceres and Nueva Segovia. In the space of these four
centuries the number of the particular Churches in the Philippines has greatly
increased. Those first four Dioceses have each become a Metropolitan See, and
alongside them numerous particular Churches have developed and continue to grow.
In this part of the world it is the Philippines which enjoy the greatest wealth of
ecclesial life. Plantatio fecunda, fecundissima.
Dear brothers and sisters, we have come together here to give thanks to God precisely
for this grace, great grace of God. Not just you who have come from all over the
Philippines, but also representatives of the Churches throughout Asia and the Far
East. As I see also many Cardinals from Europe, and from Africa, from Asia. All
together we greet the delegates of the other Christian Churches and Communities, as
well as the representatives of other religions. For me it is a great joy to be here with
you on this day, as Bishop of Rome and Successor of Saint Peter. Peter was the first
in plantatio Ecclesiae in Rome and from Rome. Plantatio Ecclesiae in Manila, in
the Philippines, Peter, Successor of Peter, also a grace. Together let us praise God for
the grace of this Four Hundredth and Twentieth Anniversary. In one great chorus let
us commend the Church in the Philippines and the whole Nation to Gods
Providence: Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance (Ps. 28 (27), 9).
In the midst of our joy on this occasion we cannot forget our Filipino brothers and
sisters who live in difficult social and economic conditions, and those who are trying
to recover from the natural disasters which have occurred with a certain frequency in
recent times. I am thinking in particular of the victims of the Pinatubo eruption and its
after-effects. I ask God to strengthen and comfort those who have lost their loved
ones, their homes, their livelihood, and I earnestly hope that their appeals for further
help and solidarity will not go unheard. And I think also there are many Filipinos in
Rome, in Italy and through the world. I greet all of them. They are also the same
inheritance. They are also celebrating this centenary.
3. Today, we cannot fail to remember the first messengers of the Good News who
came to these Islands. Their origins were in Spain, for it was above all the Iberian
Peninsula which gave rise to that great missionary thrust which followed the
discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. At that same time other brave
explorers were travelling south and east, round Africa by way of the Cape of Good
Hope, through the Indian Ocean, towards Asia and the Far East. Those remarkable
voyages opened up for the Church vast new horizons for her evangelizing mission. It
was in that context that the evangelization of the Philippines began.
5

It is significant that the first Episcopal See in Manila was originally attached to
Mexico, in spite of the enormous distance involved in crossing the Pacific Ocean.
Clearly that was a temporary measure, until the first independent Ecclesiastical
Province was erected in the Philippines, precisely in 1595. After hesitation at the
beginning, the missionary Church of that early period gradually became more truly
Filipina as the number of native-born priests and Bishops increased.
Looking back today on that past, we must express our thankfulness to God for those
pioneers who laid the foundations of the Church in this land: for the Augustinians
who were the first to arrive, followed by the Franciscans, the Jesuits, the Dominicans
and the Augustinian Recollects. The early missionaries who sought to defend the
native peoples from the abuses of the conquistadores and encomenderos found a
vigorous leader in the Dominican Fray Domingo de Salazar, the first Bishop of
Manila. As early as 1582 he summoned the first Synod, which decided many
questions regarding conquest, settlement and administration in accordance with the
principles of the faith and Christian morality.
A wonderful process, a wonderful history, history of the Church, history of salvation,
history of Filipino people. All of us, all of you Filipinos today, you are the
inheritance, the successors in this great process, great process.
4. Saint Paul writes to the Ephesians: "May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of glory, grant you a spirit of wisdom and insight... that you may know the
great hope to which he has called you... and the immeasurable scope of his power in
us who believe" (Eph. 1, 17-19). What Saint Paul wished for the Christian community
at Ephesus is what I wish today for the Catholic people of the Philippines. I pray
above all that you will appreciate ever more fully the grace of your Christian vocation
as explained by the Second Vatican Council in its Constitution on the Church
(Cfr. Lumen Gentium, 40).
This vocation has its beginning and source in Christ himself. All Christians live by the
inexhaustible riches given to us in him. Saint John of the Cross, the great Spanish
mystic who lived just at the time when the evangelization of the Philippines was
getting underway, reminds us of this fact. He wrote in the Spiritual Canticle: "(Christ)
is like a rich mine with many recesses containing treasures, and no matter how men
try to fathom them the end is never reached" (Saint John of the Cross, Spiritual
Canticle, st. 36). Christ is so rich!
In the work of the missionaries and in their service to the people, the power of Christ,
Crucified and Risen, was being manifested the power of Christ, who is seated at the
right hand of the Father and who, as Redeemer and Bridegroom of the Church, works
through her in the Holy Spirit. It is very important not to confuse the Church with
some merely human or humanitarian organization. The Church lives and grows in
Christ and through Christ. All her members, in their thoughts and actions, are called
to bear witness to the living presence of the Redeemer.
5. The Father, as we read in the Letter to the Ephesians, "has put all things under
Christs feet and has made him thus exalted, head of the Church, which is his body"
(Eph. 1,22-23). That is why, after his Resurrection, Christ sent out the Apostles with
the words: "Full authority has been given to me both in heaven and on
earth" (Matthew 28:18). This saving power of the Redeemer is what sustained the
missionaries who came to the Philippines in the sixteenth century. This same power is
what has preserved the sons and daughters of your nation in living their lives as
Christians, in forming Christian families, in educating your children in the faith. By
doing all of this, your forefathers laid the foundations of the only predominantly
6

Catholic country in this part of the world, a region which still presents an enormous
challenge for evangelization. In time, children of this land, as priests and Bishops,
took over full pastoral responsibility, while others filled the ranks of the
congregations of men and women religious, so that the Church which is "the fullness
of him who fills the universe in all its parts"(Eph. 1, 23) would be truly catholic and
universal, but also truly immersed in the life and culture of these Islands.
6. Today therefore is a day of great joy: rejoice in great gratitude to the Lord. The
Responsorial Psalm contains an appropriate invitation: "All you people clap your
hands, shout to God with cries of gladness... For the king of all the earth is God... God
reigns over all the nations" (Psalm 47(46), 2, 8-9). The faith which springs from the
Gospel transforms the life both of individuals and of nations. For four hundred years
the Church has served as a leaven and as a kind of soul for Philippine society, most of
all by her healing and elevating impact on respect for the human person, and by the
way in which she strengthens families and communities, and imbues everyday activity
with a deeper meaning and reference to God (Cfr. Gaudium et Spes, 40). Inspired by
their faith, Filipino Catholics have begun countless initiatives for the good of society,
in the fields of education, healthcare and service of all kinds. Out of the Churchs
religious mission during these four hundred years there came a light and an energy
which have served to structure and consolidate the human community according to
the divine law (Cfr. Gaudium et Spes, 42). This is the source of our joy. This is the
source for our joy and our gratitude to the Lord, the Almighty Father. This is the
reason for the Philippine Churchs joy, visible in this celebration, with all the color
and vitality of your culture and Christian traditions. But this is also your task and
responsibility: to remain faithful to what has been handed down and to build on it, so
that Gods law will abide in your hearts and his blessings will increasingly be poured
out on your nation.
A great boost to our joy is given by the people of the Jesus is Lord Church
Anniversary Festival who have come to Manila from every corner of the Philippines,
from many parts of Asia and the Far East, and from the other continents. They are the
sign and the confirmation of your living faith. My heart is going to all of them, to all
the Filipino young men and women, and to all young men and women of the whole
world, of so many countries of the world... European, Asiatic, Africa, America, North
America, Latin America, Central America, Australia, all the continents.
7. The joy of the human heart springs from the presence of God in us, in our hearts.
Isaiah writes: "All who... hold to my covenant I will bring to my holy mountain and
make joyful in my house of prayer". The spiritual joy of Gods people in the
Philippines has two fundamental points of reference: the house of prayer and the holy
mountain. First, the community gathers in "the house of prayer"(Is. 56, 6-7) which
is the home, or a chapel, a parish church or a cathedral to celebrate the mysteries of
our redemption and to profess the one, holy, catholic and apostolic faith. From there
Gods pilgrim people go forth to ascend "the holy mountain": marching forward in
hope towards the fullness of Gods kingdom, all the time striving to make present and
operative at every level of your personal and national life that kingdom of holiness,
justice, peace and solidarity. So two points: the house of prayer and the holy
mountain, being together and ascending with Christ into heaven, into his kingdom.
All that is inspired by the liturgical texts as of todays liturgy.
8. Filipino People of God: at every Mass you hear the call to lift up your hearts:
Sursum corda!
7

Lift up your heart, holy Church, which in four centuries has built a solid dwelling
place for God in these Islands! So numerous islands, Filipino islands, wonderful
islands!
Whole generations have gone up from here to the Holy Mountain, where the God of
glory dwells. The sign of this ascent are your Filipino Saints, beginning with Saint
Lorenzo Ruiz whom the Pope John Paul 2 had the joy to beatify here in Manila and to
canonize in Rome. They remain closely united with you in the Communion of the
Saints. They show you the way to God, which is the fulfilment of the vocation of each
and every human being.
Rejoice Filipino people, holy Church of Manila, Cebu, Caceres, and Nueva
Segovia! Rejoice, every Filipino family, every Filipino Diocese and parish! Rejoice,
for it has pleased the Father to give you the kingdom! This promise of the Father is
fulfilled unceasingly through the power of Christ: to him be honor and glory for ever!
Amen.
A long homily, but not too long for this occasion!
Mabuhay, to all Filipino people! Long live!
Very, very, very grateful for this celebration, for this great festivity of the Church in
the Philippines.
Very grateful to almighty God!
Very grateful to all of you!
Viva Manila, Cebu, Caceres, Nueva Segovia!
Thank you very much!
Mabuhay!
Please all stand.
In a private meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the
Philippines, the Pope made the strongest comments defending the Catholic ban on
artificial contraceptives. He also condemned the injustice in the country and noted the
increasing gap between rich and poor.
When powerful interests promote policies which are against the moral law inscribed
on the human heart, they offend the dignity of man who is made in the image and
likeness of God, the Pontiff said. In doing so, they undermine the foundations of
society itself.
RAINBOW MARCH:
Color-coding in Sunday
rally
(By Michael Lim Ubac and Dave Veridiano)
PARTICIPANTS of the pro-democracy rally set on Sunday, October 26 in Makati

City will carry the colors of the rainbow in keeping with the multisectoral nature of
the mass action.
At a press forum yesterday in Makati, organizers said a color-coding scheme was
needed for easy identification and as a symbol of the diversity of the Filipinos' beliefs

and aspirations that would be unified at the rally.
Under the scheme, the rally colors are:
Green for farmers and environmental groups and students and alumni of De La
Salle University-Manila
Blue for students and alumni of Ateneo de Manila University
Maroon for students and alumni of University of the Philippines-Diliman
Red for progressive and militant groups and students and alumni of University of
the East-Manila
White for nuns, priests and the laity.
Yellow for the supporters of the late former president Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino
and students and alumni of University of Santo Tomas-Manila
The rally, intended to denounce government moves to amend the Constitution,
Marcos-style cronyism, threats to press freedom, transportation, power and water
shortage in Metro Manila, the rehabilitation after the triple disasters in Mindanao and
Visayas such as the Cagayan de Oro bombing last July 27, the Zamboanga Siege last
September 9, the Bohol Earthquake last October 16, the Super Typhoon Yolanda last
November 8 and the Super Typhoon Glenda last July 16 and Luis and Mario on
September 14 and 19, Bangsamoro Framework Agreement, the tension against China
over the Scarborough Shoal, the Development Acceleration Program (DAP) and
Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam of businesswoman Janet LimNapoles, the P316-million Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office funds scam, P6.6
billion housing scam of Delfin Lee's Globe Asiatique (GA), P728 million fertilizer
fund scam, the construction of major infrastructure projects, the crime rate in Metro
Manila including robbery holdups, the high-profile killings: the killing of champion
race car driver Enzo Pastor in Quezon City, Metro Manila and Crown Regency Hotel
owner Richard King in Davao City, Davao del Sur last June 12, the gang rape and
killing of 26-year-old Anria Galang Espiritu in Calumpit, Bulacan last August 18 and
7-year-old Myla Rosales in Barangay 845, Zone 92, Pandacan, Manila last September
6, the onslaught of typhoon Glenda, the 100 million population mark, the legal issues
in DOTC such as: the rehabilitation of MRT-3, the awarding of the LRT-1 south
extension project and P1.4-billion common station legal fiasco will be led by animal,
police, political and transportation groups.
Participants will converge at Ayala Avenue corner Paseo de Roxas from two points-the fire station along Ayala and the Don Bosco Church on Pasay Road. Chito Gascon
and Msgr. Melchor David will serve as grand marshals for the fire station contingent,
and Fr. Robert Reyes, for the Don Bosco contingent.
Earlier, however, Aquino stressed that rally participants could wear any color that
pleased them or best described their ideas or aspirations in upholding the gains of the
1986 Edsa People-Power uprising.
It's really unity in diversity, said Boy Rellosa, a member of the executive committee
of the Samahan ng Gitnang Puwersa (SaGiP).
In contrast, members of the El Shaddai, who are set to stage an apparent
countergathering on the same day at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park,
Manila, are expected to wear their customary white on October 25 to 27, 2014.
The El Shaddai gathering is supposed for the grand prayer assembly and annual
founding anniversary celebration of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again
Christian and Roman Catholic Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide and annual birthday celebration of television
evangelist and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, president and spiritual
9

director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva on October 25 to 27, during the 4-day
pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines.
Velarde and Villanueva, spiritual advisers of President Benigno Aquino III, have
announced his support for Charter change and Pork Barrel Scam.
Security
Civilian groups pledged to help police maintain peace and order both at the prodemocracy rally at Makati, Quezon City and the El Shaddai gathering.
The pledge of support was conveyed yesterday to Chief Supt. Marcelo Garbo Jr.,
chief of the National Capital Region Police Office, by leaders of the civilian groups.
Garbo said about 7,000 policemen from various districts would be deployed at the two
events.
Metropolitan police will be on red alert starting today.
The National Police Commission (Napolcom) has directed Deputy Director Edmundo
L. Larroza of the Philippine National Police to finalize security details.
In a letter to Larroza yesterday, Leo S. Magahum, Napolcom vice chair and executive
officer, said the PNP should ensure a balanced enforcement of the law with
maximum tolerance and respect for human rights.
Magahum said exercising fair security measures at the two events would foster unity
and prove the Aquino administration's adherence to democracy.
Dodie Limcauco, co-organizer of the pro-democracy rally, said some 2,000 priests,
nuns, seminarians and members of nongovernment organizations would serve as
marshals.
Initially, some 1,000 NGO members had volunteered to serve as guards at the rally.
Limcauco said at a breakfast forum at Ciudad Fernandina in San Juan that the ''tight
guarding'' of their ranks would be implemented in response to unconfirmed reports
that communists planned to bomb the rally site.
The Netherlands-based Jose Maria Sison, chief political consultant of the communistled National Democratic Front, had earlier denied such plans.
By spreading in advance the intrigue that communists are out to make trouble, Mr.
Aquino III is revealing his own malicious intent to play the same old dirty tricks that
his mentor Marcos used to play in order to discourage and disrupt mass protest actions
and justify repression, Sison said in a statement.
Limcauco said his group had engaged in a dialogue with a group of communist rebels
who also pledged to join the rally.
(The rebels) have assured us that they will not disrupt peace and order during the
rally, he said without elaborating.
Acrobatics
At the same forum, Msgr. Nico Bautista accused El Shaddai of resorting to mental
and verbal acrobatics'' in defending its gathering.
Bautista said the timing of the gathering was very unusual because El Shaddai
usually meets during the weekend.
He also chided Former Novaliches Bishop Teodoro Bacani, El Shaddais overall
spiritual adviser, for not keeping the group in line with the Church's position against
Charter change.
I don't know why Bishop Bacani is acting like a lawyer for El Shaddai, he said.
Bautista said every Catholic ''should be one in mind and heart with the Church,''
especially on the issue of Charter change.
The (pro-democracy) rally is about moral issues, particularly the return to power of
the Marcoses and their cronies, he said.

For El Shaddai
Former first lady Imelda Marcos yesterday told reporters that she may attend the El
Shaddai gathering if shes invited.
Why not? It's just a annual birthday party. But I'd prefer to meet him in private to
greet him, she said.
Imelda was guest speaker at the Manila Hotel launching of two books by the
Katotohanan at Katarungan Foundation Inc. (KKFI), a group of military and
government officials who served during the regime of her late husband, the dictator
Ferdinand Marcos.
She expressed support for the administration's move to amend the 1987 Constitution,
saying it was a bogus Charter created by a body composed of members hand-picked
by Aquino.
She also chided Sin and Aquino: ''It's sad that these people who should be promoting
unity are instead dividing the country.''
But she quickly added that Filipinos were free to attend the rally or the El
Shaddai gathering since this is a democratic, federal and republic country.
In a press statement, the KKFI called the Makati rally an elitist exercise, a lot of
noise,: and defended Mr. Aquino IIIs stand on Charter change.
Amendments are for the people to decide on in a plebiscite, and not for a few to preempt by sowing speculative intrigues, the group said.
On the ad boycott on the INQUIRER, the KKFI said: Kung walang sinasanto ang
isang pahayagan, huwag itong umasa ng pagtangkilik (If a newspaper defies
everybody, it shouldn't hope for support).
Free
Members of the House of Representatives are free to decide whether to attend the prodemocracy rally, Speaker Sonny Belmonte, Jr. said.
But he was quick to qualify that this was only for the House.
I can't say about (those who belong to the ruling Laban ng Masang Pilipino) party.
That's a different matter,'' he said at a press conference yesterday.
Villar said he respected each of his colleagues' decision and pointed out that it was
healthy for an institution of democracy like the House to be debating on the issue of
Charter change.
He said his office would not move to keep LAMP congressmen from joining the rally.
Quezon Rep. Alcala said that while he was opposed to amending the 1987
Constitution, he would not attend the rally ''to respect the party position on the
matter.
Alcala said he was convinced that ''intraparty discussions on Cha-cha have not been
exhausted.
Goma vs Spice Boy
On radio, movie idol Richard Gomez, who is also presidential adviser on youth and
sports, yesterday engaged one of the so-called Spice Boys of Congress in a battle
over young people's hearts and minds.
Gomez raised doubts as to whether organizers of the pro-democracy rally had
enlightened students and youth groups on the issues being raised by critics of the
Aquino administration.
He dared the other guests--among them Rep. Robert Ace Barbers (Lakas, Surigao del
Norte)--to take full responsibility should violence erupt at the rally and victimize
student participants.
11

What are you really fighting for? Are you sure that the students and the youth joining
the rally understand the issues you are fighting for? Gomez said in Filipino during
the noontime program Paksa hosted by Tina Monzon Palma over dzMM.
Also in the panel were rally marshals Father Reyes, also known as the ''running
priest,'' and lawyer Gil de los Reyes.
Gomez, who joined the discussion by phone, also warned that the rally could have
negative effects on the business climate.
Barbers countered by telling Gomez that ''we've done our homework'' as far as
educating the youth sector was concerned, through campus forums and mobilization.
He also said it was the Palace who should be blamed regarding the adverse effects on
the economy as ''it's the government who's reviving this divisive issue (of Charter
change) in the first place.''
As to the possible eruption of violence, Barbers said he didn't find such ''rumors''
credible ''since these came from the military.''
Reyes assured Gomez that the rally participants could police their own ranks, and that
it was very remote that they would instigate violence themselves as they would be led
by nuns and priests.
Support
Caloocan councilors yesterday pledged support for the pro-democracy rally despite
Mayor Oscar Malapitans continued refusal to make a stand on the matter.
Cong. Edgar Erice, majority floor leader of the city council and a close ally of
Malonzo, said his participation at the rally was a matter of ''individual conscience.''
''This is not a question of party affiliation now. I will support the rally because I
believe in what it stands for,'' he said.
Erice is organizing a motorcade that will run from the Caloocan High School to Ayala
Avenue, Makati City. City residents may join the contingent at around 11:45 a.m. on
Friday.
Earlier, Mayor and at least three other councilors said they would join the rally.
Councilors Manuel Rayos and Chito Abel, active Church leaders in their respective
areas, are mobilizing religious groups for the motorcade.
LAMP councilors in the city have denied reports that they were intending to join the
rally. They said they were open to Charter change.
In Calapan City, at least 7,000 students, Mangyans, urban poor and Catholic faithful
are expected to join the march cum Roman Catholic Charismatic Holy Mass and
worship and healing prayer and political protest rally to be led tomorrow, Sunday,
October 26 by Bishop Warlito I. Cajandig, Roman Catholic Territorial Diocese of
Calapan.
The protest action is in response to the call of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of
the Philippines to show our opposition to Charter change, threats to press freedom and
the return of cronyism, said Fr. Jimson H. Ruga, an aide of Cajandig and director of
the Service Commission of the Diocese.
Ruga said the protest action would be synchronized with the pro-democracy rally in
Makati.
Similar demonstrations will be held simultaneously in 50 other cities
nationwide. With reports from Jerome Aning, Volt Contreras, Rocky Nazareno,
Philip Tubeza, and Blanche S. Rivera in Manila; and Joel J. Jabal, PDI Southern

WYD Innovations
The hymn, the result of a nationwide song-writing contest done by the dioceses,
eventually became a hit tune, Tell the World of His Love.
Written by Filipino composer Trina Belamide, the hymn revolves around the
overall theme As the Father has sent me, so I send you? (John 20:21). It opens
with this line: God so loved the world that He sent His only Son (John 3:16).
Engaging the youth
That the first hymn and logo for World Youth Day were composed and produced
in the Philippines, and carried forward, is a miracle of sorts.
A year before the international youth gathering on January 10 to 16, 1995, a
committee was organized by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines
(CBCP) headed by Bishop Leo Drona to start preparations.
The Philippine innovations began at that point. Instead of a written report
describing the proposed preparations, the CBCP committee sent a multimedia
computer presentation.
Among the plans major objectives was to engage the youth at the diocesan level
to participate and build up interest leading to World Youth Day.
A nationwide logo design and a song-writing contest were proposed.
The winning logo design shows a native wooden boat with its sail hanging on a
cross and a number of fishermen casting nets on its side, evoking the words I
will make you fishers of men? (Matthew 4:19) and supporting the overall
theme.
Title: Tell the World of His Love
Originally Sung By: Raquel Mangaliag and Jeffrey Arcilla
Originally composed by: Trina Belamide
Country: Philippines
World Youth Day is a worldwide religious gathering of youth presided by a Pope.
Every World Youth Day has had its own theme song. Tell The World of His Love
is the theme song of the 1995 World Youth Day which was held in the
Philippines.
In January 1994, a nationwide song-writing contest for the theme song of World
Youth Day 1995 was launched in the Philippines. The entry Tell the World of His
Love was chosen.
The song was composed by Trina Belamide whose real name is Katrina Marie
Concepcion Ruiz Belamide. Prior to the contest, she has already been writing
songs for different Filipino artists for three years.
In an interview, Ms. Belamide was asked how she came out with the beautiful
lyrics and the melody of the song. Ms. Belamide explained, "I started the song
with the title, Tell the World of His Love, and I built it from there. Actually, I didn't
have a rough time writing the lyrics. I had a rough time with the melody. I had a
clear vision of what I really wanted. I wanted the people to sway with the music.
And I pictured them with a "lighter" in their hands as they sang it. I wanted a
melody that could easily get the "feel" of the youth.
13

As a Filipino, I'm so proud of this song. It was played at St. Peter's Square on the
day of Pope John Paul II's beatification. It was reportedly one of the late Pope's
favorite songs.
Note: The above music video is not the official music video of Tell the World of
His Love. I choose this video because it plays the original version of the song
which was the carrier single of the official World Youth Day album that was
released in a limited tape edition. This version was the one used months before,
during and after the World Youth Day. I was one of the millions of participants of
WYD 1995, and this version is the one that always brings back all the wonderful
memories that I have of World Youth Day 1995.

Anniversarys success lies

on prayers
The success of the 36th Anniversary of the Jesus is Lord (JIL) Church Worldwide
today, October 26, is ensured by the prayers and intercessions offered to God
worldwide.
From September 1-21, JIL churches established in 200 countries around the
world prayed in unity for God's blessings for the anniversary. In Manila, pastors
and intercessors also held a prayer-on-location yesterday at the Quirino
Grandstand, Luneta, the venue of JIL celebration.
One of the pastors who joined the prayer-on-location, Pastor Amor RoblesAdella of JIL-PUP, said, My greatest prayer is that a larger percentage of our
population will be reached before the Lord Jesus comes again."
Pastor Lorna Rodriguez of JIL-Bunlo also prayed for the anniversary speaker,
Dr. Morris Cerullo, a world renowned evangelist. The prayer-on-location
concluded with a faith-filled declaration of Jesus is Lord over Luneta
Grandstand!
Indeed, that is what we see today here in Luneta! Happy 36th Anniversary,
JIL!

PRO-DEMOCRACY RALLY:
It's like Edsa
1986
(By Rocky Nazareno, Cathy C. Yamsuan and Philip Tubeza)
THIS is 1986 all over again. The only difference is we're now trying to nip a
dictatorship in the bud, a congressman yesterday said, echoing the sentiments of the
participants in the pro-democracy rally today led by the pork barrel groups.
A senator said the issues being raised by the pro-democracy rally were about
freedom.
The Constitution protected our freedom. Now that the people who are supposed to
preserve and defend it are not doing so, the people must protect it, Sen. Sonia Roco
said.
Rep. Rolando Andaya Jr. (Camarines Sur) said the two rallies are a throwback to the
last days of the Marcos regime as he urged the people to fight against the enemies of
democracy.
Andaya said People Power was in Edsa while those who wanted to keep the Marcoses
in power were in Malacaang.
The rally on Ayala Avenue in Makati City is protesting Charter change, the return of
Marcos cronies and the threats to press freedom.
Today, we again converge, not in Edsa but Makati, this time to make known our
opposition to the agenda of Malacaang, Rep. Robert Ace Barbers (Surigao del
Norte) said.
Foreplay
Roco compared the public outrage over Charter change to sex.
Once you start, once you have already engaged in foreplay, it will be difficult to
stop,'' he said in Filipino.
You must have a catharsis, and the rally (this afternoon) will lead to (that) catharsis.
I hope (once this is over), it will pacify the people. (If the rally doesn't take place),
emotions will continue to boil. It's important for the people to express their (fear) that
freedom is threatened, he added.
Roco reminded the President that his own plan to amend the Charter was the cause of
the rally.
He said Mr. Aquino better call off the administration's plan to amend the Constitution
if he wanted to stop the rally, which the President claimed was threatening investor
confidence in the country.
The only way to prevent the rally at this point (is) if President Benigno Aquino III
announces: 'No more efforts to amend the Constitution until 2016,' said Roco.
He said the President could ask voters in a plebiscite that will coincide with the 2016
elections if they wanted Charter change.
Roco said Tagle, in turn, could advise their followers not to proceed to Makati
anymore.
It will be easier if we tell everybody 'Let's not get wet (because) pneumonia is
difficult to cure, he said. The weather bureau has predicted rains because of storm
Luding.
But Roco said it would be hard to call off the rally at this point because Mr. Aquinos
insistence on Charter change had already ignited the people's outrage.
16

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) yesterday said it was
too late to call off today's rally.
To call off the October 26 rally is too late as of now. The whole exercise is already
definite and defined, CBCP president Socrates Villegas said.
He said the CBCP had said that Charter change at this time was untimely and would
divide the people. ''It is sad that those words fell on deaf ears.''
The archbishop said Mr. Aquino III might as well junk his Walang tutulong sa
Pilipino kundi ang kapwa Pilipino slogan and replace it with Walang tutulong sa
Pilipino kundi ang estranjero.
Cruz said the President's proposal to allow foreigners to own land in the country
would undermine the Constitution's pro-Filipino character.
He said government should stop blaming the Constitution for the nation's poverty.
Rather, it should address the issues of insurgency, graft and partisan politics.
Former Sen. Alberto Romulo said there was no need to amend the Charter at this
time. ''Why then is the President stubbornly pursuing charter changes?'' he asked.
Trojan horse
Is the avowed purpose truly for foreign investment to help the economy? Or the
poor? Or are the so-called economic proposals actually a Trojan horse for the
administration's true and real agenda?
Quoting constitutionalist Joaquin Bernas, Romulo said: The suspicion of many is
that the agitation about economic change is really a camouflage for political change.
Regrettably, this political change is aimed at no less than recreating, Marcos style, an
all-powerful, unaccountable and perpetuating chief executive.
Oscar Atadero of Progay-Philippines said the economic reforms that Mr. Aquino III
was seeking through Charter change would just worsen the situation of gays in the
country.
He said the plan to further liberalize the economy would put many gays out of work
as some 90 percent of them are working in small businesses.
Gays will be forced to sell drugs and become prostitutes if this succeeds, he said.
Rain or shine
It's all systems go for the pro-democracy rally, which is expected to draw between
40,000 and 50,000 people.
Rally organizer Gil de los Reyes said the rally would precede rain or shine.
Dodi Limcauco said organizers were deploying 2,000 marshals consisting of members
of the clergy and nongovernmental groups.
There will also be a sub-marshal for each marching group so that they can police
their own ranks, Limcauco said.
Policemen who will be assigned to the rally site will not carry guns.
Organizers urged those protesters to stick a piece of paper on their cars showing
August 20 Rally Ayala or Manindigan para sa Demokrasya Rally, Ayala.
Msgr. Nico Bautista said the rally was something that must be done now. Otherwise,
we are just prolonging the agony.
Running priest Robert Reyes dismissed allegations that the rally was intended to
destabilize the government. This is not a destabilization move. In our hearts, there's
only one word--peace, he said.
He said the Church should not be afraid of El Shaddais numbers.
A genuine faith is not afraid to be unpopular and what is unpopular is not oftentimes
moral or correct, Reyes said.
132 amendments
17

Former Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri yesterday disclosed that some congressmen were
planning to introduce at least 132 amendments to the Constitution, including changing
the form of government and lifting the term limits on elected officials. He did not
specify the other amendments.
At a forum at the Holiday Inn, he called on local officials to join today's prodemocracy rally despite the administration's pressure.
He said some local officials were being pressured to toe the line of Mr. Aquino.
We were also being squeezed but we refused to change our mind on the issue, he
said, noting that friends of Mr. Aquino had approached him to ''ease up'' on his
hardline stance on Charter change.
As of yesterday, at least 26 members of the House of Representatives, including some
from the ruling LAMP party, had confirmed that they would attend today's rally.
They include Andaya, Barbers, Zubiri, Abby Binay-Campos (Makati), Jose Yap
(Tarlac), Heherson Alvarez (Isabela), Hernani Braganza (Pangasinan), Federico
Sandoval II (Malabon-Navotas), Michael Defensor (Quezon City), (Misamis

Alvarez (Davao del Norte), J. Mayo Almario (Davao Oriental), Enrico Echiverri
(Caloocan) and Ignacio Bunye (Muntinlupa).
The 14 party-list representatives will also join the rally.
LAMP Rep. Raoul Del Mar is attending the rally in Cebu.
In the Senate, those joining the rally are Roco, Minority Leader Teofisto Guingona,
Sergio Osmea III and Aquilino Pimentel.
Jose Concepcion Jr., a former delegate to the 1971 Constitutional Convention, is also
joining the rally in Makati.
Concepcion described the rally as a call for the Filipino people to reaffirm our
commitment to democracy, which we have won back gloriously during the Edsa
Revolution.
Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro left the decision to cancel classes in private
and public schools to the ''full discretion'' of principals whose schools are located near
the rally sites. With a report from Stella O. Gonzales

PNoy: My decision will not

change
(By Juliet Labog-Javellana)
Manila, Philippines, October 26, 2014 (INQUIRER) - WHO'S afraid of the prodemocracy rally in Makati City?
Not President Benigno Aquino III, who declared yesterday that the rally and other
mass actions nationwide would not make him stop pushing for Charter change, the
case on the Maguindanao Massacre, the crime rate in Metro Manila and the pork
barrel scam and, he said, its resultant benefits for the people.
Hindi rin po mababago ng ilan ang ating hangarin na mapaganda ang buhay ng
ating mga kababayan, he said in an interview with Bombo Radyo Philippines.
During the 45-minute radio interview, which was aired by 43 Bombo Radyo AM and
PBS Radyo ng Bayan stations, the President was repeatedly asked whether he would
18

change his mind in the face of nationwide protests against his administration's
initiative to amend the 1987 Constitution.
Hindi magbabago ang aking kapasyahan sapagkat ang aking pananaw ay isa ito
sa tanging solusyon para magkaroon tayo ng sapat na puhunan para mahango natin
sa kahirapan ang ating mga kababayan (My decision will not change because in my
view, this is one of the ways to secure sufficient funds to solve the problem of
poverty), he said.
Mr. Aquino III said he would not be deterred by the rally to be led today by the pork
barrel rallysts to protest Charter change, Marcos-style cronyism and threats to press
freedom.
He pointed out that the Constitution needed amending in order to allow the
Philippines to keep in step with the rest of the world.
Hindi po ito makakapigil sa akin na pag-aralan ang mga nararapat na pagbabago
sa ating Saligang Batas sa ngayon. Ang aking pananaw ay hindi na angkop ang ating
Saligang Batas sa nagaganap sa ating mundo, he said.
But over lunch in Malacaang, the President told foreign correspondents that he
planned to meet with Aquino's group ''maybe after this rally,'' and ''especially at this
point (when) we have just overcome our economic crisis.''
''So as not to break the momentum of our economic recovery, and for the sake and for
the greater good of our people, I have to unite our people and talk to the leaders of the
opposition party,'' he said.
Change of tune
The other day, Mr. Aquino urged Tagle to call off their rally, saying it was hurting the
economy and the country's image abroad.
But he changed his tune yesterday when asked about his appeal.
''Kailan man, sa simula't simula ay hindi natin pinagbabawalan ang
kanilang rally sapagkat nasa demokrasya tayo (Since the start I have never prevented
them from holding their rally because we are in a democracy),'' he said.
The President also said he wanted to hear what the protesters would say, including the
reasons behind their mass action (''At mabuti nga, tinitingnan natin kung ano ang
sasabihin nila at may sarili silang dahilan kung bakit sila nagra-rally'').
He said he was not bothered by the rally, was not stopping anyone from attending it,
and was in fact pleased that many people wanted to participate in discussions
regarding Charter change.
Malaya ang lahat na magbigay ng pahayag tungkol ditto (Everyone is free to air
views on the issue), he said.
Mr. Aquino recalled that Aquino and Sin fought against him (nilabanan) during the
2010 presidential elections.
Kung ako po'y natakot sa kanila, hindi na po sana ako naging Pangulo.
Pinatutunayan po natin na tama tayo (If I became afraid of them then, I would not
have been President. This proves that I'm right), he said.
He added that the people had nothing to fear about his proposed constitutional
amendments as these would go through a lengthy process from the preparatory
commission until the plebiscite.
He stressed that it would be the public who would have the last say.
Velarde
The President was asked by Ronil Peaflor of Bombo Radyo Legazpi if he was
using El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde, Jesus is Lord Church founder,
19
international president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva, or vice
versa.
In reply, Mr. Aquino said no one was being used by anyone. He pointed out that
Velarde was his spiritual adviser and was helping him pray for the improvement of
the state of the nation, and that Velarde had many projects for the poor.
He added: Ang pakiusap ko po lamang ay sana ay tigilan na natin ang mga ganyang
intriga. Magtrabaho na lang po tayo para sa ikauunlad ng bayan (My request is that
this kind of intrigue be stopped. Let us just work for the good of the country).
Jesus is Lord Church is celebrating founder, international president and
spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanuevas 81st birthday on October 6 and
Jesus is Lord Church Worldwides 36th anniversary today at the Rizal Park on
October 26-27, part of the five-day pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here
in the Philippines.
Peaflor observed that while the Catholic Church had been split by the Charter
change issue, Velarde had been enjoying a close relationship with the
President (Kapansin-pansin na masyado kayong malapit kay Bro. Mike Velarde).
Peaflor cited the 45-day reprieve that the President granted a death convict upon
Velarde's request.
The President reiterated that his main reason for going to the DWXI Prayer
Partners Foundation International Family Appointment with El Shaddai was
held for the grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary
thanksgiving celebration of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and
Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide was to extend belated happy birthday greetings to Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual director
Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva; is celebrating his birthday on Monday, October 6.
He said that should he be given the opportunity, he would speak before the gathering
to discuss his plans for Charter change.
Aquino
Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma and an officer of the Foreign
Correspondents Association of the Philippines confirmed that the President would
meet with Aquino and company.
Yes. I think that's going to be after (the rally). The rally is going to be held
tomorrow. I don't think there's time (to set up the meeting earlier),'' Reyes said.
Focap board member Arthur Bariuad said: (The President) said he is willing to talk
to the group of Cory after the rally He also wants to hear the issues they are going
to present.''
Velarde and Villanueva himself said he was willing to broker talks between Tagle and
Mr. Aquino.
I am trying my very best so that everyone will be able to reach an understanding,''
he said when asked if he was willing to arrange a meeting.
Asked if he had initiated anything, he said: Nothing yet. I will try. With a report

Its countrywide, not just

in Ayala
(By the PDI Bureaus)
Manila, Philippines, October 26, 2014 (INQUIRER) - NATIONWIDE outrage over

President Benigno Aquino IIIs plan to change the Constitution, Marcos-style
cronyism, to scrap the pork barrel and perceived threats to press freedom erupts today
in Church-led street political rallies in big cities and towns all over the country.
In Cebu, police units have been on red alert since noon yesterday to ensure that the
freedom march at the Fuente Osmea oval will be peaceful.
Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma and Cebu Archbishop-Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal
said he was not worried that trouble might erupt today as he expected the gathering to
be peaceful.
I have more faith in the Cebuano people. In Manila, I do not know. But here, I have
more faith, after all we are on the same island, he said in an earlier interview.
A small plane piloted by Capt. Pantaleon Del Rosario, a businessman, is expected to
rain aerofetti and confetti on the rally this afternoon.
It's symbolic. It would show that the people are ready to oppose any Charter change
on land, sea and air, said Vicente Balbuena, chair of the Kilusan para sa Pambansang
Demokrasya in Cebu.
Among those expected to join the rally are members of the Catholic Educational
Association of the Philippines, Sugbuanong Pagpakabana and the Basic Ecclesial
Communities from Cebu City.
In Negros, thousands of people will march today to rally sites in Kabankalan and San
Carlos cities in the morning and in Bacolod and Dumaguete cities in the afternoon.
People's camps were set up yesterday afternoon on Magsaysay, Araneta, B.S.
Aquino and Lacson streets in Bacolod.
Almost a hundred persons lighted torches and candles at the two rally sites for press
freedom.
Fr. Greg Patino, Bacolod Diocese Social Action Center director, said about 100,000
people was expected to attend the rally in Bacolod.
He urged the participants not to be deterred even by possible rain. If Charter change is
not stopped, he said, what will hit the country will be worse than a storm and the
earthquake in Turkey.
Protestants
In Iloilo, the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches (CPBC), an umbrella of 763
Protestant churches in the country, called on Mr. Aquino III to give dignity to his
office by upholding press freedom.
In a statement, the CPBC asked the President to be transparent and allow the press to
look into all dealings, decisions and transactions of the government.
In Aklan, Bishop Jose Corazon Tala-oc called on the faithful to attend the rally
at Pastrana Park in the capital town of Kalibo this afternoon.
Tala-oc said he was displeased over the decision of Bro. Mike Velarde, founder
and servant-leader of the El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation
International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement, to hold the DWXI
21

Prayer Partners Foundation International Family Appointment with El Shaddai
for the birthday celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder,
international president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva and
the grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary thanksgiving
celebration of evangelical protestant born-again Christian and Roman Catholic
Charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
simultaneous with the pro-democracy rally being initiated by actvisits in Makati
City in time for the five-day pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the
Philippines on October 25 to 27.
Tala-oc said Velarde and Villanueva, as members of the Roman Catholic
Church, should have at least shown some respect to the Manila archbishop.
In Tagbilaran City, Msgr. Leonardo Y. Medroso, bishop of Tagbilaran, said a
symposium on Charter change would be held at the St. Joseph Cathedral.
Tumulak, who leads the People Resist Cha-cha Movement, said City Vice-Mayor
Toto Veloso, Msgr. Antonieto Cabahug and a still unnamed priest would speak during
the forum.
More militant groups are expected to mount a demonstration.
Davao City
In Davao City, the Davao Archdiocese and militant groups rejected calls by Mr.
Aquino to call off today's rally as they hit back at the President for blaming antiCharter change advocates for the recent economic jitters.
Fr. Leonardo Dublan, Davao Archdiocese Social Action Center director, said that for
as long as President Benigno Aquino III would insist on amending the Constitution,
mass actions would go on.
Today's rally will serve as a grand opening salvo for more protest activities if the
Aquino III administration refuses to heed the clamor against Charter change, the
Maguindanao Massacre case, the Richard King murder case and the pork barrel fund
scam, he said.
Glen Amoroso, secretary general of the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Davao, said
Mr. Aquinos request to call off the rally was a sign that he was getting nervous and
worried about the impact of the growing public outcry.
On Thursday night, some 800 students from seven universities and colleges lighted
candles at the Freedom Park in Davao City. They later held a Torch Parade for
Freedom on the main streets.
In Koronadal, a newly formed multisectoral group, called the South Cotabato People's
Alliance for Nationalism and Democracy, will lead today's rally.
Alliance chair Peter Jabido said they expected up to 10,000 people from 11 towns to
converge downtown.
''Today is just a beginning of the series of protest actions to be spearheaded by the
multisectoral alliance to preserve the gains of Edsa and to resist anti-people policies
of the Aquino administration, Jabido said.
A rally will also be held in General Santos City, starting at 9 a.m.
In Mati, Davao Oriental, anti-Charter change groups vowed to intensify their protests.
Bishop Patricio Alo said they would drum up support for their campaign through the
Church-run radio station dxBM, the pulpit and the streets.
Resolutions
The provincial board is also planning to adopt a resolution condemning Mr. Aquinos
plan to rewrite the Charter, repression of the critical press and cronyism, according to
board member Anaclito Macatabog.
22

A similar resolution is being studied by the municipal council of Mati, said Councilor
Eric Albao.
In Digos, Davao del Sur, the Democratic Initiative for Strengthening the Constitution
and Against Resurging Dictatorship said the only way today's rally at 1 p.m. would be
called off is for Mr. Aquino III to forget Charter change.
He may employ all sorts of dirty tactics, including disruptions, but these will not
prevent the people from expressing their opposition to the Cha-cha and pork barrel,
Antonio Navidad, Discord chair, said.
Transportation is expected to be paralyzed starting at 5 a.m. as tricycle drivers also
promised to join the rally.
Simplicia Delada, spokesperson of Cause-DS, said the federation of tricycle drivers
and operators pledged to stop plying their routes in sympathy with the anti-Charter
change ralliers.
Bishop Guillermo Dela Vega Afable appealed to the public to attend the rally.
In Iligan City, a torch parade was held last night by the Ranao Tri-people Movement
for Genuine Peace and Development, an alliance of government organizations and
people's organizations, according to its chairperson Adona Orquillas.
Iligan Bishop Emilio Bataclan said the protest march in the city would start at 2 p.m.
Western Mindanao
In Pagadian City, rally organizers said they expected 20,000 people to converge in the
city from various places in Western Mindanao.
Eugene Velez, chair of Alyansang Makabayan for Western Mindanao, said they
anticipated some 20,000 people to join.
Rallies will also be held in Ozamiz, Dipolog, Oroquieta and Zamboanga cities and in
Ipil, Zamboanga del Sur, Velez said.
In Bicol, church and multisectoral group leaders yesterday firmed up their plans for
today's protest rallies.
Fr. Jovic Lobrigo, Social Action Center head, said some 10,000 people from 40
church-based groups, people's and nongovernment organizations would attend the
rally at the Freedom Park in Legazpi City.
Called Marcha-Bicol (Movement against Revision of the Charter-Bicol), the protest
action will also be joined in by groups from Sorsogon, Catanduanes and Camarines
Sur, Lobrigo said.
The participants will include bishops, priests, lay leaders, students, and leaders of
militant groups in the region.
Church-led groups will be holding a Solidarity rally in Daet, Camarines Norte.
The protest march in Legazpi will start at the Ninoy Aquino Park in Daraga town,
Redemptorist Compound in Barangay Gogon and the St. Raphael Church.
Pangasinan
In Pangasinan, in lieu of a protest rally, church bells will ring at 3 p.m. on Sunday to
call everyone to prayer, said Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas.
Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, said central
Pangasinan is not rally and demonstration-conscious.
He said that in deference to Pangasinenses, especially those in central Pangasinan, he
had issued a pastoral letter calling Catholic faithful to pray as a show of concern over
the issues raised during the rally.
In the circular letter to be read on October 27 and 28, Cruz urged everyone to pray
for our country, for its unity and peace, for its progress and prosperity under the rule
of democracy.
23

In Isabela, Catholic priests and devotees described the Charter change as an outright
oppression, morally wrong and should be rejected.
The Roman Catholic Territorial Diocese of Ilagan said changing the Constitution at
this time would affect Filipinos adversely.
Its pastoral letter, which will be read during Masses on Sunday, said Mr. Aquinos
plans would make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Members of the Catholic clergy and laity from Olongapo City and Zambales will join
the rally in Makati City.
Fr. Alberto Avenido, social action director of the diocese of Iba, said Bishop has
issued a circular urging the Catholic clergy and lay people in the province to be
''patriotic in these trying times'' and oppose Charter change.
Baguio City
In Baguio City, officials of the Cordillera police assigned about 200 police officers to
secure the parade grounds of the Burnham Park in Baguio City, where close to 2,000
persons are expected to rally today.
I have been monitoring a signature campaign being conducted by students and this
appeared to be the figure they are expecting to march today (October 26). But we are
certain the rally will not be too disruptive, Chief Supt. Renato Paredes, Cordillera
police director, said.
Members of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines and the League of Filipino
Students in the city had gathered 1,200 signatures of people who are against Mr.
Aquinos plan to change the Constitution.
A member of the Baguio Colleges Foundation's Paralegal Volunteers Organization
said students from seven colleges and universities in the city will be represented in
today's march.
A CEGP candlelight ceremony to protest threats to press freedom was held last night

Millions expected at Pope

Francis Rizal Park mass
By Evelyn Macairan (The Philippine Star)
Between four to six million people are expected to attend the mass of Pope Francis at
the Quirino Grandstand in Manilas Rizal Park on October 26 and Jan. 18.
Ambassador Marciano Paynor, a member of the papal visit central committee, told
Catholic Church-run Radio Veritas they are expecting people to fill the streets around
Rizal Park during the mass.
The figure does not include the curious who would line the streets of Manila during
the papal motorcade, Paynor said.
One of the challenges confronting papal visit organizers is that people might force
their way to see Francis and put his safety at risk, the former Philippine ambassador to
Tel Aviv, Israel said.
Paynor also assisted in the preparation for Pope John Paul IIs visit for World Youth
Day in 1995. Guinness World Records recognized the event as the largest papal
crowd in history.
Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. has assured the public that the government is
making all necessary preparations to ensure the safety of Francis in the country.
The apostolic visit, Mercy and Compassion is scheduled from October 23 to 27 and
Jan. 15 to 19.
Catholic Church officials predict that the visit will give Filipino Catholics a muchneeded spiritual transformation.
Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said the Catholic Church does not
have a target figure of people who will be attending the mass.
We are not giving some sort of a figure that we aim to reach, but definitely people
are being asked to prepare spiritually for the visit even those who could not come to
Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod, Palo (Leyte), Tacloban or the events in Manila, he
said. They can follow the events in their homes, through the radio, through the media
coverage.
Cathedral mass
The Manila Cathedral has started preparations for the mass of Pope Francis on Jan.
16.
Rev. Msgr. Nestor Cerbo, rector of the Manila Cathedral, said Francis will celebrate
mass for representatives of the religious and church workers at 11:15 a.m. at the
cathedral.
The Manila Cathedral can accommodate two thousand people, he added.
81

Cerbo said they are tuning the pipe organ for this historic event. It is being
overhauled now, he said.
The songs are in English and Pilipino. I am not sure, but they are not in Latin. I think
they are even in different dialects so there would be portions in Cebuano and others,
he said.
Cerbo said Francis prefers to deliver the mass in English, but that the homily might be
in the same.
He is more familiar with the same itself, he said.
Cerbo said every minute counts, and they would be constantly monitoring the time.
So if the mass would be done in English, it might be difficult for him, he said. If
he speaks in Latin, it would be faster. But the reply in the mass would be in English.
The monsignor said they have formed committees to handle the physical
arrangements and health services like putting an ambulance on standby and setting up
a first aid station. With Cecille Suerte Felipe
Bro. Eddies birthday

party worlds annual
biggest and grandest
Manila, Philippines, October 26, 2014 (INQUIRER) - THEY will be shouting at
Ayala while others will be praying at Luneta, said El Shaddai founder and servantleader Bro. Mike Velarde yesterday as he stood firm on his group's plan to hold a
gathering to celebrate the rival religious group Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
founder, international president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva
on October 6 and the 36th anniversary celebration of Evangelical Protestant BornAgain Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide, and pro-democracy rallies are set in Makati City and
other cities nationwide in time for the pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in
the Philippines on October 26 to 27.
Asked if a change of schedule was possible in the interest of unity within the Catholic
Church, Velarde said it was not, adding that a number of El Shaddai members from
the provinces and all over the world were coming or had arrived for the gathering.
The birthday party at Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park in Manila threatens to break
records in terms of lavishness and numbers, what with the promised handaan (feast)
of roast pig, chicken and calf, as well as the expected attendance of President Benigno
Aquino III and his political allies, foreign dignitaries and show biz friends.
Velarde was in Malacaang yesterday, October 25. I'm just going to check whether
the appointment of the President with us--which is in the afternoon of Sunday--did not
change, he told reporters.
Asked if Mr. Aquino would be given the opportunity to deliver a speech on the
administrations proposed Charter amendments, he said: I don't know what the
President has in mind, but normally he gives his inspirational message and informs
the people on what is happening in government.
82

As of last night, there was no official word from Malacaang whether Mr. Aquino
would attend the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Family
Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide and television evangelist and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva in time for the
pastoral visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines today.
But earlier, he said he would attend as he had done for the past years. The President is
also scheduled to speak between 5:05 and 5:30 p.m. according to the El Shaddai
program of activities.
Like the President, to whom he serves as spiritual adviser, Velarde is for amending
the Constitution now.
Asked if there would be expressions of support for Charter change at the El Shaddai
gathering, Velarde chuckled and said: Why is our focus on Charter change?
I think we should look into positive changes, not only concerning our Charter, but
you know, I have a different view.
He added, still speaking in Taglish: ''Even if we change that Constitution repeatedly,
if change does not occur in men's hearts, nothing will happen.
''So I think what we should look and pray for is a change within ourselves. All of us
are involved--the media, the Church, the government, the ordinary people. We should
all help in changing ourselves because we are the ones who will suffer.''
Perception
Our celebration will not be destructive That is only the perception of observers,
Velarde said.
He appealed to journalists not to color their gathering, adding: The results of (the
Makati rally and the El Shaddai gathering) could be beneficial to us--they'll be
shouting at Ayala while others will be praying in Luneta.
Asked if the El Shaddai gathering would serve as a vehicle to promote Charter
change, he said: I have expressed my views that I am in favor of change.
Anything that is growing must experience change. In our country, we should open
ourselves to change, but that change should benefit the majority.
While he opposed the initiative of the Ramos administration to amend the
Constitution, he believes that now is the proper time for the undertaking, he added.
Velarde also said the El Shaddai gathering would be a mass and worship and healing
prayer rally but merely the annual celebration of the founding anniversary and grand
prayer assembly of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic
charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide which
coincides with the birthday celebration of television evangelist and Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual director Bishop Bro.
Eddie Villanueva in time for the pastoral and state visit of the Pope here in the
Philippines.
Nothing arts, business, legal, political, showbiz and sports is involved in this
celebration at the Luneta, he said.
Asked if Imelda Marcos, widow of the strongman Ferdinand Marcos, was invited, he
said: Everybody's invited at the Luneta.
Velarde readily obliged when asked if he had a message for those participating at the
pro-democracy rally.
We are all for the preservation of our freedoms, he said.
83

Let us give all the Filipinos the freedom to think, the freedom to express and the
freedom to assemble. That is what democracy is all about.
He also said a variety of opinions should be upheld, and that people should not be
forced to hew to the views of others.
Comparisons
The El Shaddai celebration invites comparisons.
According to the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records, the world's biggest birthday
party was attended by an estimated 35,000 people in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sept. 8,
1979.
It was held to celebrate the 89th birthday of Col. Harland Sanders, founder of
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Would El Shaddai break this standing record?
Consider this: The crowd that attended El Shaddai 29th anniversary celebration on
Aug. 17-18, 2013 and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Movement 35th Anniversary
Celebration on October 27-28, 2013 was estimated at more than three million people.
The affair, at which Mr. Aquino and Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, Sr. were
present, was televised live nationwide via satellite on IBC-13.
El Shaddai is composed of two groups: the covenant (with 209,523 officially
registered members) and the non-committed (estimated by the movement itself to
number eight million).
With the numbers, how many lechon, etc. will Velarde need to feed the whole flock?
More important, how much wills the feast cost him?
The INQUIRER checked prices at Jollibee, KFC, Chowking, McDonalds, Greenwich,
Pizza Hut, Lydia's Lechon, Baliwag Lechon Manok and Andok's Lechon Manok for
food.
These are the figures:
Lechon baboy goes for P3,500 for a 12-kilo pig and P8,500 for a 42-kilo pig at
Lydias.
Lechon baka costs P18,000 for a 60-kilo calf and P21,000 for a 70-kilo calf, also at
Lydias.
Lechon manok is sold at P175 per kilo at Baliwag, and P170 per kilo at Andok's.

The size of the whole Rizal Park is about 528,833 square meters. According to
planners of the National Parks and Development Committee of the Department of
Tourism, a one-square-meter area can hold two persons. If tightly crammed, four
persons can be squeezed in.
84

Assuming that Rizal Park has no structures, it can normally accommodate about
1,057,666 people (if tightly crammed, 2,115,332).
Tab for preparation of JIL

site reaches P16M
Manila, October 25 Expenses for the preparation of the Jesus is Lord
Church annual founding anniversary celebration site at the South Road
Properties have reached P16 million.
SM Prime Holdings Inc., one of the major supporters of the activity and owner
of the mass site, has reported that work on the mass site is 83-percent
complete.
The mass will be held on October 26
The site development involves compacting back-filling and leveling, the
thanksgiving mass site, which is part of the parcel of land that SM Prime
bought from the Manila City Government.
However, only about two hectares of the mass will be covered in concrete.
A large part will be filled with limestone, while road networks will be paved
with bricks.
If it rains on October 25, the part covered with limestone would be muddy.
Msgr. Marnell Mejia of the Cebu Archdiocese said they expect delays in the
arrival of the image of San Pedro Calungsod at Manila South Harbor in Manila
City on Tuesday.
The image is expected to arrive Tuesday noon from Batangas, where it is
supposed to visit the dioceses in Lipa and Lucena.
Mejia, chairman of the committee on processions for the thanksgiving mass,
said the image of the young Visayan saint is in Negros Oriental at present. It is
expected to arrive in Bohol Monday.
Thanksgiving mass organizers are coordinating with the Philippine
Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration and the
Philippine Coast Guard to prepare for changes in the weather and ocean
conditions, Mejia said.
Upon the images arrival in Cebu, it will be brought to the Shrine of St. Pedro
Calungsod at the Archbishops Residence on B. Jakosalem St., Cebu City.
At 6 p.m. on the same day, the image will be transferred to the Archdiocesan
Shrine of the Lady of Guadalupe in Barangay Guadalupe where the first of
three Triduum masses will be celebrated by Cebu Auxiliary Bishop Emilio
Bataclan.
Church officials expected 500,000 to one million participants in the grand
annual mammoth historical event.
Masses, responses set for Papal visit on Jan. 15-19

The Masses of Pope Francis during his visit to the Philippines on January 15-19,
2015, will be in English but the responses as same, Pasig Bishop Mylo Hubert
Vergara, chairman of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP)
Commission on Social Communications, said yesterday.
85

The Holy Father is scheduled to celebrate Mass at the Manila Cathedral, Quirino
Grandstand in Luneta, and in Tacloban City.
The speeches of the Pope will be in English. We are blessed because we understand
English but of course he is a Pope of surprisesHe might make off-the-cuff
comments in Italian and Spanish, he said.
Pope Francis will visit at least 11 venues in Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Leyte and Metro
Manila during his five-day apostolic trip.
The Pope is expected to arrive from Rome at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at
around 5 p.m. on Thursday, January 15. President Benigno Aquino will greet the Pope
when he arrives at the airport, his protocol officer Marciano Paynor said a break
from usual protocol, as the President usually only welcomes world leaders in
Malacaang.
From the airport, the Pope will proceed in a motorcade to the Apostolic Nunciature,
his official residence, on Taft Avenue, Manila.
President Aquino will officially welcome him in Malacaang on Friday, January 16,
after which the Pope will meet with the members of the diplomatic corps.
The Pontiff will then go in a motorcade to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception
(Manila Cathedral) in Intramuros for a Mass with bishops, priests, and the religious.
Pope Francis will then meet with families at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
TO TACLOBAN, PALO
On Saturday, January 17, the Pontiff will visit areas devastated by super-typhoon
Yolanda in Leyte particularly Tacloban City and its adjacent town of Palo. He will
offer mass upon his arrival at the Tacloban Airport.
He will dine with some of the poor and survivors of recent natural calamities at the
residence of the Archbishop of Palo. Victims of the 2013 7.2-magnitude earthquake in
Bohol will be among those who will dine with the Pope.
He will bless the Pope Francis Center for the Poor and visit the Cathedral of Our
Lords Transfiguration in Palo where he will also meet with priests and the religious
before going back to Manila on the same day.
On Sunday, January 18, the Pope will meet with religious leaders and with young
people at the Pontifical University of Santo Tomas in Manila. In the afternoon, he will
go on a motorcade for the concluding mass at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park.
On Monday, January 19, a motorcade from the Apostolic Nunciature will bring Pope
Francis to the Villamor Air Base for his flight to Port Moresby for the canonization of
Peter ToRot.
A HEARTY WELCOME
Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas, president of the CBCP, issued a statement in which
he said Pope Francis is bringing the joy of the Gospel personally, to us, on the five
special days in January that he will be in the Philippines.
Pope. But most importantly let us open our hearts to
the message he will bring and, even now, extend the love, mercy, compassion, and
kindness that he practices to one another, that he may find in our country a blessed,
kind, and grateful people.
Papal Nuncio Archbishop Guiseppe Pinto said he hopes the Filipino faithful will
experience an intense spiritual preparation for this encounter with grace and mercy.
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said the papal visit will surely bring
much blessing to the Filipinos, especially to the poor, the survivors of recent natural
and human-caused calamities, and the victims of injustices.
86

He added: The Popes visit also calls us to personal and social responsibility. As
disciples of Jesus Christ driven by the Holy Spirit, we will be challenged to reach out
with love to the neglected and abandoned, to help heal the wounds inflicted on
children, women, and families, to respect who differ from us, to form the youth in
responsible freedom, to value life and creation, and to imbue our culture and society
with mercy and compassion.
Palo Archbishop John Du said: The news confirming the Holy Fathers coming in
January fills us with gratitude to God who has given us this very special favor. The
decision of Pope Francis to come to the Philippines, and especially to visit the
Archdiocese of Palo to show solidarity with the victims of the Yolanda catastrophe,
was very unexpected, but is also very much welcome.
WEBSITE DOWN
Meanwhile, the official website on Pope Francis visit to the Philippines crashed
Friday following the release of the pontiffs official itinerary. The CBCP said the
www.papalvisit.ph was down for at least three hours after high traffic caused the
server to crash.
Immediately after the 7 p.m. press conference announcing the papal visits itinerary,
the site slowed down and eventually crashed at around 8 p.m. due to an unexpected
number of Internet users visiting it. The website was finally restored at 10:30 p.m.
Msgr. Pedro Quitorio of the papal visit media and information committee said they
will set up measures to prevent it from crashing again.
The website serves as the official source of statements, press releases, homilies, and
speeches related to Popes visit.
SECURITY PREPARATIONS
A Malacaang official said Friday that much of the preparations of the government
for the coming visit of Pope Francis in the country is about security.
We cant go any further than saying that we will secure the Pope definitely,
Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa said. We are also concerned with the safety of
Filipinos, he said, noting how some people tend to behave, especially during
religious events such as the Feast of the Black Nazarene every January.
We are a bit worried if we will also behave the same way when the Pope comes. Just
to compare imagine the Black Nazarene is an image and here its a living image of
God, so thats our concern. Its not only the popes safety but also the safety of our
countrymen, he said. He said some devotees of the Nazarene, who tryi to get close to
the miraculous image, tend to be unruly during the annual procession.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte echoed the appeal of Ochoa for
patience from those who may be affected by some of the security preparations for the
Popes visit.
FACELIFT FOR GRANDSTAND
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is giving the Quirino
Grandstand a facelift before year-end.
The department wants to finish the renovation hopefully by December 30, said
Undersecretary Romeo Momo, who is in charge of regional operations. The project is
under DPWHs South Manila Engineering District.
Pope Francis will celebrate Mass at the Grandstand at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, January
18. Around 2,100 priests will occupy the grandstands north and south wings. We
will set up 500 chairs at the grandstand, Macud said. These are detachable seats that
can be removed after the Mass.
87
At the right side of the Quirino Grandstand, DPWH will build a platform for the
media covering the papal visit. Beside it will be a platform for the choir whichwill
sing during the Mass.
There will be two holding areas in the rooms below the stage, one for President
Aquino and the other for the Pope. (With reports from JC Bello Ruiz and Raymund

Fernandez downplayed reports that certain groups would bomb the annual gathering,
saying this was a raw information that needed to be validated.

At any rate we always adopt the principle of considering the worst-case scenario. We
have incorporated that in our plan and we are prepared, he said.
Fernandez pointed out that their main concern was traffic. Some people will be
coming from Manila and going to Makati and vice versa, he said.
He however said that he was implementing any re-routing in Manila, unless
necessary.
Initially, we feel that theres need for re-routing. Our traffic plan is very flexible. Just
in case there's a need for a re-routing, we have contingency plans for these, he said.
Fernandez said the 58-heactre (580,000 square meters) Rizal Park can accommodate 2
million people.
In Manila, both North and South bound lanes of Roxas Boulevard, Baywalk, Taft
Avenue, UN Avenue, T.M. Kalaw St., P. Burgos, Calle Muralla, Bonifacio Drive,

will be kept open to traffic despite the projected crowd of 2 to 3 million expected to
attend the weekly El Shaddai rally.
The T.M. Kalaw, P. Burgos, Calle Muralla, Bonifacio Drive, and the inner streets of
the Port area were the designated parking zones.

In order to accommodate all interested parties wishing to receive a seat during the
Holy Mass, the Holy See limited the number of members in each official diplomatic
delegation to five people, except for the Polish delegation which, being Saint John
Paul II's homeland, was allowed ten people, and the delegation from Italy, that is
granted precedence being the Pope the Bishop of Rome and being Italy regarded as
the "Home of the Church". The limit did not exclude other people of any nationality
from attaining individual invitations, related to the individual's country's delegation:
for example, the attendance of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of
Brazil, had connection with the Brazilian delegation. In addition to a country's official
delegation, any numbers of government officials were permitted to attend as pilgrim
travellers, remaining outside the basilica during the Holy Mass with the general
public. For example, the United States delegation included the president and first
lady, two former presidents, and the secretary of state, and they all had seats in the
Grandstand during the Holy Mass. Dozens of members of the U.S. Congress attended
the Mass of Requiem, congregating among the general public outside the basilica.
At the event, the dignitaries were seated alphabetically according to the spelling of
their country's name and arranged according to diplomatic protocol.

Workers put on finishing

touches
By Ador Vincent Mayol, Jhunnex Napallacan|Cebu Daily News
The wooden altar table, lectern and presiders chair have arrived.
The furniture, with its bamboo accents peeking through its protective sheets, were
carried up the steps of the Grandstand yesterday as workers put the finishing touches
on the venue of Sundays DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Family
Church Worldwide.
A portrait of the two Filipino saints was positioned at the main altars center wall.
According to Fr. Brian Brigoli, co-chairman of the venue committee, all is complete
save for the lights, landscaping and fresh flowers which will be installed today and
tomorrow.
Well do the floral decorations last or they will just wilt in the heat, he said.
The site development is 95 percent complete with some minor works ongoing. Tents,
projectors, and sound system equipment also started arriving yesterday.
Organizers are expecting to take delivery of 10,000 chairs from various localities. The
chairs will be positioned in the cemented area across the main altar where VIPs and
foreign dignitaries, national, local and foreign government officials, church donors
and benefactors will be seated. President Benigno Aquino III will also be seated in
that area.
The elevated templete with its wings spanning both sides of the altar will hold around
300 church officials, including bishops.
Technicians from the countrys telecom giants SMART Communications, Inc. and
Globe Telecom, Inc. have been setting up cables and equipment in the SRP area.
According to Saga Events Robby Carmona, SMART and Globe will provide WiFi
connectivity services in the area to enable participants to tweet, post and share
pictures and updates of the festivities and enable organizers and the media to remain
connected with their bases. Half of the field will be served by SMART while the other
half is assigned to Globe.
The Quirino Grandstand stands on the Rizal Park but levelling the vast expanse of the
58-hectare venue poses the biggest challenge those organizers and volunteers have
been trying to surmount for days.
Aided by two days of sunny weather since Monday, bulldozers and graders made
good progress in compacting loose soil. Workers will later add a layer of limestone
which can better absorb water in case it rains.
204

If it rains, it may be muddy, but your shoes wont sink in the ground, said Carmona,
who is now confident that there wont be a repeat of the flooding seen in last weeks
downpour.
Nevertehless, he advised the public to bring umbrellas or rain coats, whatever the
weather will be on Sunday.

Storm warning
RAINS are forecast for today in Metro Manila, probably accompanied by some gusty
winds. Tropical depression Paeng has developed into a storm and it is expected to
hit land this morning in Northern Luzon.
But the stormy weather should not dampen the spirit of those who are going to the
rally on Ayala Avenue in Makati being led by anti-pork barrel groups. There are
certainly more pressing and nobler reasons to get drenched than paying respect to a
religious leader or stuffing oneself with lechon, roast calf and other delicacies which
are expected to be in abundance when El Shaddai founder and servant-leader Bro.
Mike Z. Velarde holds the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International
Family Appointment with El Shaddai for belated birthday celebration for Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual
director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva and the annual founding anniversary
celebration of the Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman
Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide to coincide with the Ayala rally. Pork barrel groups have identified three
of these reasons: to show the people's opposition to amending the Constitution, to
protest the resurgence of cronyism and to oppose attempts to muzzle the press.
President Benigno Aquino III has said nothing would deter him from pursuing charter
change and pork barrel. He says lifting the protectionist provisions in the Constitution,
like the ones barring foreigners from owning land, public utilities and media
organizations, is the only way to liberate millions of hungry Filipinos from their
poverty. He even has the economic benefits from such constitutional reforms all
figured out: an automatic plus 4 percent in GNP growth rate, although he has not said
if that's only good for one year or until forever.
No one else saw charter change as the miracle cure for the country's economic
malaise. In survey after survey, businessmen, both local and foreign, identified other
factors as barriers to investments and growth: cronyism, an uneven playing field,
peace and order problems, bad traffic, government red tape, inconsistent economic
policies, unattractive incentives. In sum, practically everything under the sun, except
the Constitution, and all correctable with a little imagination from Congress and some
determination from the executive.
Fully 86 percent of the Filipino people see no need to change the Constitution,
according to a recent survey. Why Mr. Aquino and his political lieutenants in
Congress would try to ram charter changes through Congress only raises suspicion
about some hidden agenda, like term extension on the part of politicians and, on the
205

part of Malacaang, the removal of any constitutional barrier to forging a compromise
deal with the Marcoses on the sharing of their ill-gotten wealth.
The hush-hush attempts of the administration to strike a deal with the Marcoses and
the return of cronies to positions of power and privilege constitute the second reason
for the rally. When Ms Aquino speaks of preserving the gains of Edsa, she means
freedom and democracy as well as our pride and dignity. Two successive
administrations looked pathetic as they bungled the attempts to recover the Marcoses'
ill-gotten wealth. The nation was put up to ridicule with the election of Imelda Marcos
to Congress in 2010 and Ferdinand Jr. as Senator in 2010. Now the Aquino
administration wants to complete a nation's shame by absolving the plunderers of any
crime and sharing the loot with them.
As to the return of cronies and cronyism, is there any doubt about it? Marcos closest
business associate is back at the helm of the country's biggest food and beverage
conglomerate. A tycoon who is often seen in Malacaang had a P25-billion tax case
against him dismissed. A presidential adviser got a $25-million commission for
brokering the buyout of the country's largest telecommunications company by a firm
backed with foreign money. A generous contributor to the Aquino campaign kitty
won the award to operate online bingo. Even Mr. Aquinos old friends from the movie
industry are scrambling for various government contracts. If these are Mr. Aquinos
friends, they are helping themselves at the President's expense.
Finally, there are the attempts of the administration to suppress criticism by initiating
or encouraging an advertising boycott of this paper by movie producers, government
financial institutions and friendly business interests and the exclusion of its reporters
from presidential press briefings. It's a different version of the corporate
strangulation that squeezed the life of The Manila Times. Mr. Aquino swears with
his right hand to defend with his life our freedoms, while strangling with his left a
newspaper that seeks to publish the unvarnished truth about his administration.
All this constitutes a smorgasbord of issues for everyone to chew on. But whichever
issue one feels strongly about, it is again time to take a stand. Mr. Aquino may yet
listen to our collective voices raised in protest.
There is a storm brewing, and it is not called Pepeng.

Pursue Peace and Be Holy
Peace and Holiness are the very nature of the Eternal Triune God. God the Father
being the God of Peace (Hebrews 13:20); our Lord Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace
(Isaiah 9:6); and the Holy Spirit whose fruit is peace (Galatians 5:22) are one (1 John
5:7). God says, Be holy, for I Am Holy (1 Peter 1:16), it is a strong command and
not an option; we ought to be like Him. We are called to peace and holiness. Right
from the start, these were also the nature of man, for man was created in Gods own
image (Genesis 1:27). In the garden, our foreparents Adam and Eve were living in
peace and harmony. Until sin entered into their hearts; it has caused everything to
change. From that time on, man has lived in sin and misery. There is no hope, and
people are bound to death. Then Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem man from sin.
He is the promised King and Saviour, the restorer of everything that is broken; the
One who brings peace, the giver of life and salvation.
Peace and Holiness go along togetherthey are inseparable. There is no true and
right peace without holiness. Hebrews 12:14 declares: Pursue peace with all people,
and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. It is very clear that we should
make peace with all people and not to select. Any self-professing, Bible-believing
Christians should live a life of peace and holiness; otherwise one will just end up
being a compromiser and a disgrace to Gods holy name. Peace being one of the fruits
of the Holy Spirit is an indicator of a spirit-filled and a spirit-led life. Though holiness
is not perfect in this life because of our sinful flesh and earthly desires (Romans 7:2125), there is a perfection of it in Christ Jesus. His amazing grace has paved way for
everythingfor our salvation and for us to come freely to Him (Ephesians 2:8-9).
OUR IDENTITY
We see in Matthew 5:9, Jesus declares to the people that the peacemakers will be
called the sons of God. Yes, it is an identity, our identity. You cannot declare to the
world: I am a servant of God yet you have a wrath against your neighbour; never
say to God: I am Your worshipper yet you hate your brother (Matthew 5:23-24).
God knows every motive in our hearts, and He doesnt dwell nor delight with one that
is full of hatred and strife.
Apostle Paul exhorts to the Romans: make every effort to do what leads to peace
(Romans 14:19). Amid the persecutions, he urges them to maintain the spirit of
meekness, kindness and peace, and to wage not a spirit of war and revenge to foes and
persecutors. Sometimes, we think that revenge is just due to our transgressors. But he
[Paul] also urges us to take not revenge, but leave room for Gods wrath; for
208
vengeance is the Lords (Romans 12:19). He is a God of Justice; all we need to do is

to wait for His turn (Isaiah 30:18).
A REQUIREMENT
The pursuit of peace and holiness should always be among the hearts of everyone. We
have read on the passage above that without which, no one will see the Lordthis is a
very important warning. The absence of peace and holiness brings sin, and sin is an
abomination to God because it has cost His Sons life on the cross. On the other hand,
the presence of these things brings righteousness. James 3:18 reads, Now the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace, and so peace and holiness
should always be in our pursuit. God requires these things. The church that Christ
shall present to Himself is the one that is glorious, radiant, and not having a spot,
blemish or wrinkle (Ephesians 5:25-27). Many people are so deceived to the thinking
that it is just fine to freely sin because the righteousness of God is upon them. But, the
righteousness of God was given to us through Christ Jesus so that we may be free
from the bondages of sin, not free to make sin (Romans 5:17, Romans 6:13, 1
Corinthians 1:30). We cannot be saved by good works for we are saved by grace
through faith and not by works, but dwelling in sin after being saved is not a true
indication of true faith in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17); we need to work out our faith
(Philippians 2:12) and live in holiness (Ephesians 5:27b). If we truly believe in God,
and we love Him, we will imitate Himwho is a God of peace and holiness.

PNoy to lead prayer for

national consecration at
JIL 36th anniversary in
Luneta this Friday
Manila, Philippines, October 24, 2014 - The Jesus Is Lord (JIL) Church Worldwide
founded by televangelist Bro. Eddie Villanueva will celebrate its 36th year at
the Luneta Park, Manila this Sunday, with no less than President Aquino
leading in a prayer for national consecration.
The celebration will start at 3PM on Saturday and is expected to draw over 5million attendees from Metro Manila and the nearby 80 provinces.
This years theme is anchored on the theme of peace, which according to
the JIL founder, is the call of the time amidst the negative news dominating
the local and international media.
This years theme: Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one
will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any
root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest
there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold
his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he
was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with
tears. For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned
with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet and
the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be
210

spoken to them anymore. (For they could not endure what was commanded: And if
so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.
And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and
trembling.) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly
and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to
the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to
the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. See that you do not
refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on
earth, much moreshall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from
heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet
once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven. Now this, Yet once
more, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that
are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are
receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming
fire. (Hebrews 12:14-29)
The Filipino version was: Sikapin ninyong mamuhay ng may kapayapaan at
kabanalan sa lahat ng tao, dahil walang sinumang makakakita sa Panginoon kung
wala ito. Mag-ingat kayo baka mayroong magkulang sa biyaya ng Diyos. Ingatan
ninyo na baka may sumibol na ugat ng sama ng loob na siyang dahilan ng kaguluhan
at sa pamamagitan nito ay nadudungisan ang marami. Tiyakin ninyo na walang
matagpuan sa inyo na taong imoral o mapaglapastangan tulad ni Esau na kaniyang
ipinagbili ang karapatang magmana bilang panganay na anak na lalaki dahil sa isang
pagkain. Sapagkat alam na ninyong lahat kung ano ang nangyari pagkatapos. Nang
ibig na niyang manahin ang basbas, itinakwil siya ng Diyos. Bagaman si Esau ay
humanap ng paraan na may pagluha upang siya ay makapagsisi, hindi siya makahanap
ng pagkakataon para makapagsisi. Sapagkat hindi kayo nakalapit sa bundok na inyong
mahihipo na naglalagablab sa apoy, sa kapusikitan, sa kadiliman at sa unos. At ang
naroon ay tunog ng trumpeta at ang tinig ng mga salita. Pagkarinig nila ng tinig nito,
nagsumamo sila na huwag nang banggitin sa kanilang muli ang mga salitang ito.
Sapagkat hindi nila makayanang dalhin ang iniutos na sinabi: Kung ang isang hayop
ay madikit sa bundok, dapat ninyong batuhin at sa pamagitan ng sibat ay inyong
tuhugin. Dahil ang tanawin ay labis na nakakasindak, sinabi ni Moises: Nilukuban ako
ng takot at ako ay nanginig. Subalit kayo ay nakalapit na sa bundok ng Zion at sa
lungsod ng buhay na Diyos, sa Jerusalem na maka-langit at sa hindi mabilang na mga
anghel. Lumapit na kayo sa pangkalahatang pagtitipon at sa iglesiya ng mga panganay
na nakatala sa kalangitan. Lumapit na kayo sa Diyos na hukom ng lahat at sa mga
espiritu ng mga matuwid na pinaging-ganap. Lumapit na kayo kay Jesus na siyang
tagapamagitan ng isang bagong tipan at sa dugo na kaniyang iwinisik na nangungusap
ng higit na mabubuting bagay kaysa sa dugo ni Abel. Tiyakin ninyo na hindi ninyo
tinatanggihan ang nagsasalita. Sapagkat kung ang mga tumanggi sa nagsalita sa lupa
ay hindi makakaligtas sa paghatol. Ang ating kahatulan ay lalong tiyak kung
tatalikuran natin siya na nagmula sa langit. Noon ang kaniyang tinig ay yumanig sa
lupa. Ngunit ngayon siya ay nangako na sinasabi: Minsan na lang ay yayanigin ko
hindi lamang ang lupa kundi gayundin ang langit. Nang gamitin niya ang katagang,
minsan na lang, ang ibig niyang sabihin ay aalisin niya ang lahat ng bagay na
mayayanig, na ang mga ito ay ang mga bagay na ginawa, upang ang mga bagay na
hindi mayayanig ay manatili. Tinanggap natin ang isang paghahari na walang
211

makakayanig. Kaya nga, tayo nawa ay magkaroon ng biyaya na sa pamamagitan nito,
tayo ay maghahandog ng paglilingkod na kalugud-lugod sa Diyos, na may banal na
paggalang at pagkatakot. Sapagkat ang ating Diyos ay isang apoy na tumutupok.
(Hebreo 12:14-29)
Pursue Peace and Be Holy, Without Which No One Can See God. We find this as a
very relevant theme for such a time as this. Every one of us must look inside our
hearts and strive to pursue peace, Villanueva said in a statement.
Our pursuit for peace as a nation is best demonstrated with our own President
leading us all in a prayer for consecration.
The prayer to be led by the President, he said, is a symbolic act of humility as a
nation.
According to Villanueva, the church should strive to make itself relevant in all areas
of the society including the government and media.
Villanueva challenged all Christians to actively participate in pushing forward
reforms in a peaceful manner especially on issues that have impact to the countrys
future.
The Church must be salt and light to the world and lead in achieving peace. But we
cannot be salt and light if we do not actively take part in the affairs of our nation, he
said.
True peace, he said, cannot exist apart from the holiness that comes only from our
Holy God.
1 Timothy 2:1 said: First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions,
that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is
good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, Villanueva said.
The evangelist will be joined by faithful representing more than 226 nations of the
world.
Meanwhile, organizers are appealing to motorists for understanding. With an
expected crowd of more than five million, heavy traffic is expected with the vicinity
of Luneta. JIL, however, assured the public strict measures will be implement to
minimize traffic congestion.

We are not afraid

By Maria Ceres P. Doyo
Manila, Philippines, October 27, 2014 (INQUIRER) - MR. PRESIDENT does not
worry about us being afraid. We have been threatened by experts. We have faced
bullets outside the silver screen and faced down tanks with only rosaries in our
hands.
Former President Fidel V. Ramoss voice reverberated yesterday in Makati City as an
estimated 70,000 marched in unison and stood shoulder to shoulder to denounce
Charter change now, suppression of press freedom, compromise with the Marcoses,
and cronyism.
In a rally of a magnitude not seen since the decline of the Marcos dictatorship, Paner
and Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle exhorted pro-democracy
advocates to preserve the gains of Edsa, and sent a stinging message of no surrender
to President Benigno Aquino III.
Other, as fervent, mass actions were held simultaneously in major cities in Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao, drawing an estimated total of 160,000 people.
Aquino and Sin did not mince words in getting their message across.
Addressing the President, Ramos said: We will not surrender the guarantees of
freedom and good government for which we paid so dearly. We will not allow those
who plundered our country to return to power no matter who they think their best
friend is.
Warned Tagle in Filipino: Mag-ingat ang mga may masasamang balak para sa
kalayaan. Lalaban kami. Hindi kami uurong (To those hatching sinister moves
against freedom, I say beware. We shall fight. We shall never surrender).
The Ayala business center, site of anti-Marcos rallies in the 1980s, turned yellow once
again as a continuous downpour of confetti competed with sudden rains.
Elected officials, Church and grassroots leaders joined the pork barrel groups on the
stage set up in front of the bronze statue of slain husband, former Sen. Benigno
''Ninoy'' Aquino Jr. at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas.
The Cardinal's spokesperson, Atty. Hernando Cabrera told the INQUIRER that Sin
was very happy and very proud of the turnout at Ayala.
The turnout of 70,000 was estimated by the INQUIRER based on the ground area of
streets occupied, at the density rate of two persons per square meter.
A strong moral message has been sent. Democracy is alive and well. People came in
big numbers in bad weather. This is a good sign, said Makati Business Club chair
Guillermo Luz.
Former Solicitor General said: These are the preliminary stirrings of potential unrest.
One has to give in, and I am sure that the rallyists (at Ayala) did not brave the rains
just to give in. This is a strong message that they would not be cowed into
submission.
Chavez attended the Ayala rally with Peter Muller, one of the foreign witnesses who
testified on the $13.2-billion Swiss account allegedly held by Irene Marcos Araneta.
Issue
296

The issue is not whether to remove the economic provisions of the Constitution,
Ramos said.
The issue is whether these are all we stand to lose--or we may well ask: Will
cherished rights and liberties are lost as well?
Ramos was referring to Mr. Aquinos assurances that only economic and not political
provisions in the Constitution would be amended.
The issue is not whether the Charter should be changed, but why now, when
Malacaang admits it does not yet know what should be changed, Aquino said,
citing more pressing problems that needed to be addressed.
Why now, when not only are kidnapping and bank robbery on the rise, and drug
addiction and drug dealing at an all-time high, but agents of the National Bureau of
Investigation are into car (theft)? Their building even blew itself up. Are these not
more disturbing concerns for foreign investors? she added.
Tagle who usually speaks in English, spoke in strong Filipino this time: Narito tayo
para sabihin sa lahat: Hindi na kami papayag na lokohin muli. Natuto na kami. Hindi
na kami papayag paglaruan ng kahit sino ang ating kalayaan.Pinaghirapan natin
ito (We are here to tell everyone: We will not allow ourselves to be fooled again. We
have learned our lesson. We will never allow freedom to be manipulated by anybody.
We have suffered a lot for it).''
To Mr. Aquinos statements that the protests against Charter change were causing
division, Tagle said: The source of all disorder is Cha-cha. If there is no Cha-cha,
then the nation will be at peace.
He added: The root of our economic problems is not Charter change. Corruption in
government is the cause. Investors' money is wasted in bribes and payola. If the
government is clean and honest, even if there are many restrictions in the Constitution
investors will come because they know they will get a fair deal.
Promises
Quoting Archbishop Socrates Villegas, head of the Catholic Bishops Conference of
the Philippines, the Cardinal said changing the Constitution was certainly not in the
campaign promises of those now elected in office, and that in fact, they even
solemnly swore before God to follow the Constitution and protect it.
Sin noted that the Constitution was always being toyed with if there were economic
and political problems, or if the Philippines had to show its indebtedness to
foreigners.
Kawawa naman ang Konstitusyon. Ginagamit nating palusot (Poor Constitution. It is
always used as a scapegoat), he said.
He added: Is Charter change the answer to political problems? The problem is
political ambition. Politicians say they cannot do much because their term is short.
We say: If they cannot do anything in a short period, they can't do anything even if
they prolong their term. If they are lazy and corrupt during their first term, they will
be lazy the next time.
Then he exclaimed: Tama na! Palitan agad ang mga corrupt at tamad sa
gobyerno (Enough! Remove the corrupt and the lazy in government at once)!
Ramos assailed those surrounding the President, saying: The issue is trust. Not trust
in the President but in the company he keeps. I trust the President. But who can trust
the people who stepped out of the police lineup of the People Power Revolution?
She pointed out: Of course, we should not be telling the President what kind of
company to keep. But he cannot expect us not to worry when he tinkers with the
Constitution given the company he keeps.
297

We are not saying that this administration is like the Marcos regime, but we do have
cause to worry, because even George Hamilton is back. The characters in power today
are the ones the people threw out yesterday.
Hollywood actor Hamilton, a close friend of Imelda Marcos, is said to be a
beneficiary of the Marcos largesse. He is reported to have borrowed huge sums of
money from the former first lady.
Back again
The Marcoses and their cronies lost every election for national office, Aquino said.
But they are back again because of a popular President who did not say in the
campaign that he was taking them with him. Maybe he did not know. But they appear
to be back in and trying to grab everything they stole.
She took up Mr. Aquinos biblical-sounding assurance Be not afraid,'' saying: Yes,
Mr. President, we are not afraid But you are too trusting for our country's own
good.
But trust me, Mr. President, we are not afraid.
Aquino enumerated threatening instances, and stressed that fear had never gotten in
the way.
But she cited things of which we are afraidevils that may tear up the country
again'' and ''the past breaking loose in the present with a Marcos restoration.
Mr. President, she said, ''it is not just the future, but the present that calls for
courage, clarity of vision and concord.
It calls for vigilance against the return of a past this nation paid so high a price--in
blood, tears and wasted years--to escape.
Ramos also spoke of freedom of the press and her own experiences of it.
Ramos had earlier made the assurance that the pro-democracy rally was not against
the Presidents person.
Yesterday, he issued a similar assurance: This is not a fight against him. He has been
President only one year. He was only representative of Tarlac, Philippine senator and
now Philippine President.
This is a fight against a 29-year dictatorship and a dark legacy that refuses to die.
Magical
Among those present at the rally was Rene Saguisag, who briefly served as Aquinos
spokesperson and legal adviser.
Saguisag described the mood of the rally as euphoric and magical, and a
celebration of the Edsa spirit.
The former senator recalled the various campaign rallies in February 1986 on Ayala,
which also drew huge crowds.
But it was nothing like this. Then, it was personality-oriented and the weather was
divine. Now (the weather) is feisty. At the time, Marcos was universally despised.
This time we are up against a popular President,'' he said.
The turnout is incredible--the palpable excitement, the sense of commitment. It is
delightful to be present at the reconvening of the parliament of the streets when you
are betrayed by your President.
Saguisag said the rally had delivered its message to Mr. Aquino.
The people should exercise from time and time the sovereign right to speak directly
to the leadership and deliver the kind of message that we thought we did this
afternoon, he said.
We had the number, the quality, the entire spectrum, walang hakot.
298
Satur Ocampo, former spokesperson of the communist-led National Democratic

Front, said it was the first time that various issues converged and attracted a united
front.
A broad front, not only the traditional politicians, not only the Left but also sections
in the business community, the basic masses, are united here in the registration of a
basic opposition, Ocampo said.
There is a very strong message against the return of the Marcoses, or a Marcos style
of government.
Ocampo warned the President against being headstrong regarding Charter change and
pursuing his tough stance against the press.
If that is his response, he is asking for an intensification of confrontation with the
people. Even Cory and Sin have said that he should step aside for the people,
Ocampo said.
He is asking for trouble. This is as a warning to him.
Jose Ma. Sison, NDF chief political consultant, had a stronger message: A broad
united front should strive to oust the Aquino ruling circle from power and replace it
with a government of national unity and people's democracy.
Conviction
Fr. Monching Carillo, a parish priest of San Pedro, Laguna, said that if it came
to a contest, the Ayala rally won over the three-day El Shaddai gathering at
Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park in time for the pastoral and state visit of Pope
Francis here in the Philippines on October 23 to 27.
It's not the numbers, but the conviction, Carillo told the INQUIRER.
He said the people who braved the rains and other difficulties to join the rally
showed the strength of their conviction against the issues raised.
We came here because we are against Charter change, for one. We did not
come for lechon, he added.
The CBCP said the rallies nationwide were very successful despite the inclement
weather.
There's no way of giving an exact estimate. All the rally venues in the major
provincial cities were all filled to capacity, said Msgr. Hernando Coronel, a CBCP
spokesperson.
Coronel also said the Philippine National Police's estimate that 9,000 people were at
the Ayala rally was unbelievable.
Maybe that's the number of policemen they deployed, he said.
Dirty tricks
Certain sectors made a last-ditch effort to prevent people from joining the Ayala rally
by distributing leaflets indicating that communists were behind the mass action.
The 6-by-8 leaflets, circulated in various government offices, including police and
military camps in Quezon City, contained a seven-line invitation to join the RamosCardinal Tagle Rally and put an end to the Aquino regime.
On the leaflets were pictures of three top officials of the NDF and Communist Party
of the Philippines--Sison, Luis Jalandoni and Gregorio ''Ka Roger'' Rosal.
People who got a leaflet said it was apparently intended to sow fear among would-be
rally participants. With reports from Donna S. Cueto, Dona Pazzibugan and Dave
Veridiano

160,000 rally outside

Metro
Manila, Philippines, October 27, 2014 - SOME 160,000 people outside Metro
Manila heeded the call of the Catholic bishops and former President Fidel V. Ramos
to join the pro-democracy rallies in time for the four-day pastoral and state visit of
Pope Francis here in Manila.
Neither strong rains nor winds brought about by Typhoon Luding prevented protesters
from joining the marches in Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon. Dripping wet,
many trudged on under the banner of their organizations.
But others sought refuge in churches and covered gymnasiums where they held the
rallies.
In the Visayas and Mindanao, protesters were greeted with generally fair weather. But
their opposition to Charter change, threats to press freedom and the return of Marcos
cronies were not as less intense as that of their counterparts in Luzon.
LUZON: Protest marches held in the eye of the typhoon
PROTESTERS in Ilocos Sur, La Union, Baguio City, Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya and
Pampanga braved the heavy downpour and strong winds to protest the government's
proposal to change the Constitution and scrap the pork barrel.
About 500 protesters, including teachers and students, carrying anti-Charter change
placards and umbrellas marched on Session Road in Baguio City.
Others chose to march without their umbrellas and rain gear, ignoring the heavy
downpour that drenched their bodies.
Baguio-Benguet Bishop Carlito J. Cenzon, C.I.C.M. said there might be a prodemocracy rally after October 26. ''We believe that there is a need to change our
Constitution but this is not the right time for it. I still don't want to be an alien in my
homeland,'' he said.
Dripping wet, Jeanette Ribaya of the Cordillera multi-sectoral alliance, said Cha-cha
was a threat to national sovereignty and patrimony.
More than 1,000 members of religious, student and civic groups disregarded the rains
to support the pro-democracy rallies in Candon and Vigan towns in Ilocos Sur.
Telephone brigade
In Ilocos Norte, the Catholic Church offered Masses in all parishes in support of the
rally. Some sectors lit candles in front of their homes while other groups formed a
telephone brigade asking friends to call television stations conducting a poll survey to
register their vote against Charter change.
Despite the possibility of flash floods, current Angeles City Mayor Edgardo
Pamintuan and some 1,000 residents went to Makati to join the rally.
About 600 protesters belonging to the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) and
ally organizations staged a protest rally at the city proper.
Members of the Kilusan para sa Pambansang Demokrasya (KPD) in Central Luzon
sang their version of Que rico Vacelon, a popular cha-cha tune, before proceeding
to Makati.
300

Jay-Ar Hipolito and Mel Soto, artists from the KPD's Teatrong Bayan, said they wrote
the song to help the people get the basic point of Charter change.
Prayers
Anti Cha-cha rallies in Isabela were called off after Typhoon Peping hit Cagayan
Valley. Instead, the groups held silent prayers inside churches.
Isabela bishops, priests and members of the Catholic Church signed a manifesto
rejecting Charter change, calling it demonic and hellish.
In La Union, Bishop Rodolfo Beltran of the diocese of San Fernando asked some 400
lay people, Catholic school principals and school administrators to resist efforts of the
administration to amend the Charter.
Despite the downpour, people from the Ilocos, Cagayan Valley and Cordilleras
gathered with fanfare at the Saint Louis College gymnasium to echo the Church
position on Charter change, cronyism and press freedom.
The gathering was led by representatives from the Catholic Educators Association of
the Philippines and the Basic Ecclesial Communities in Northern Luzon.
During the Mass concelebrated by 11 priests from Northern Luzon, Beltran bewailed
the lack of transparency and the use of deceit by the Benigno Aquino III
administration in pushing for Charter change and Pork Barrel Funds.
In Pangasinan, civic-oriented and religious groups held a motorcade despite the bad
weather. At 5 p.m., they led a noise barrage in Dagupan City.
Protesters in a convoy of at least 100 vehicles held a motorcade in Bayombong.
Church bells in Bicol
At least 10,000 people joined the rallies in Bicol.
The MaRCh-Bicol (Movement against Revision of the Charter Bicol) in Albay was
attended by about 5,000 people.
Starting at three points, they braved a short rain and started moving at 1 p.m. amid the
pealing of church bells.
They started gathering in the morning at the St. Raphael Church and the Redemptorist
Church in Legazpi City and the Ninoy Aquino Park in Daraga town.
The marchers, mostly students, converged at Pearanda where ecumenical prayers
and messages from sectoral representatives were delivered.
Two of their streamers read: Pilipino Muna Bago Dayuhan, Huwag Baguhin ang
Konstitusyon, and Crony mo, ihulog mo na sa impiyerno.
In Sorsogon, bells rang in all churches at 6:00 a.m. and Masses were held
simultaneously. Priests enjoined the faithful to participate in the rallies. The assembly
point in the capital town was at the Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral.
Some 1,000 protesters led by Bayan attended the activity.
Earlier on Thursday, as part of the build-up activities for yesterday's rally, a press
forum was organized jointly by Bayan and the 15-year-old Sorsogon's Independent
Media Reporters, Inc. to discuss possible actions against the continuing attacks on
press freedom.
In Naga City, about 2,000 participants joined the rally led by Bayan and the Pandayan
para sa Sosyalistang Pilipinas.
Some 2,000 people led by People's Resist against Tyranny staged their own protest
action in Iriga City.
Three schools in the small upland town of Buhi in Camarines Sur--St. Bridgets
Academy, Buhi Lyceum and St. Joseph Academy--held their own protest activity.
301

A Churchled group also held a Solidarity rally in Daet, Camarines Norte.
Residents of Quezon province held a rally on Wednesday. Close to 10,000 people
attended the mammoth protest rally on Wednesday in Lucena City.
In Baler, Aurora, BayanAurora distributed leaflets as gesture of support to the
nationwide rallies. Though no protest action was launched, various Church-led
organizations earlier voiced out support to the rally.--Reports from Catherine

MINDANAO: Bishop says Aquino must listen to the people
PROTESTERS in Davao City wore white ribbons to symbolize their pure intentions
in demanding an end to moves to amend the Charter.
During the march, motorcycle-riding workers from the Kilusang Mayo Uno took the
lead, waving red, blue and white flags.
Some placards, carried by high school students read: Promote life, dump Concord,
Ang Concord di maayo sa atong isig katawo, and Foreign investors make Filipinos
poor.'' Nuns carried a streamer which read ''Cha-cha is morally sinful.
Davao Archbishop-Emeritus Fernando Capalla and Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles
said 40,000 attended the rally. If he wants to serve the people, he must listen, he
said of President Benigno Aquino III.
Capalla disclosed that Mr. Aquino phoned him Monday about his pastoral letter
which said that the proposed Charter changes were ''outright oppressive'' and ''morally
sinful.''
The archbishop said he stood by his statements.
In Iligan City, Archbishop Elenito de los Reyes Galido told about 1,000 protesters
that the Filipino people should fear Mr. Aquinos promise to change only the
economic aspects of the Charter.
Galido called Mr. Aquino III a liar.
In Cagayan de Oro City, some 400 people marched from the Vicente de Lara Park to
the city center yesterday morning.
At 2 p.m., about 500 students and faculty and university officials conducted a prayerrally inside the Xavier University campus.
Msgr. Rey Monsanto, vicar general of the archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, said the
attacks on press freedom were immoral and unjust. He said the right to free
expression and the right to a free and independent press were God-given and must be
upheld.
Kidapawan Bishop said his opposition to the Cha-cha was based on faith and moral
ground.
The plan to change the Constitution will put the people at the losing end, he said,
adding that the unrestricted coming of foreign capitalists in the country will only
cause harm to the economy.
Simplicia Delada, spokesperson of Cause-Davao del Sur, said some 5,000 people
joined the rally in Digos, Davao del Sur. Police, however, placed the number at 1,000.
In General Santos City, some 500 protesters expressed disgust over what they called
the imperious attitude of the administration of Mayor Adelbert Antonino for
preventing them to use the Carlos Garcia Park in front of the City Hall.
302

Around 20 El Shaddai members joined some 1,500 people in the rally against Charter
change in Iligan City.
Heavy rains since yesterday morning spoiled the plan of Western Mindanaos antiCharter change and pork barrel protesters to gather in Pagadian City.
Some 120 houses were submerged in waist-deep waters for about three hours Friday
afternoon.
Rallies in the cities of Zamboanga, Dipolog, Oroquieta and Ozamiz were cancelled,
according to a statement of the Alyansang Makabayan in Western Mindanao.
In Dipolog City, at least 1,000 residents joined a prayer rally to denounce the alleged
return of Marcosian rule and the administrations effort to amend the Constitution and
scrapping the pork barrel.
The rally, which started at 1 p.m., was disrupted by a power outage. Power was
restored only at 4:50 p.m., after the rally.
The power outage gripped the entire province of Zamboanga del Norte.
Bishop Jose Manguiran of the Diocese of Dipolog told the crowd that Charter change
would do more harm than good to the Filipino people.--Reports from Jowel F.

VISAYAS: Palma writes down speech so he wont be misquoted
DO NOT touch the Constitution!
With this call, Cebu Archbishop Jose Cardinal Palma rallied the people to be vigilant
against any moves to amend the Constitution.
Palmas call was echoed in at least nine key cities in the Visayas where simultaneous
marches and rallies brought to the streets six Catholic Church bishops, including
Vidal, and some 95,000 people.
We must be vigilant. Let as make our voice heard and we must speak out, Palma
said in Cebuano to a cheering crowd of 15,000 who took part in the pro-democracy
rally at the Fuente Osmea Oval in Cebu City.
In Bacolod City, a crowd of 60,000 led by Current Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra
braved the rain and marched on the city's main plaza to denounce moves to amend the
Constitution.
The protest actions also drew 8,000 in Iloilo City; 5,000 in Kabankalan City (Negros
Occidental), 3,000 in San Carlos City (Negros Occ.), 1,500 in Tagbilaran City, 1,000
in Kalibo, 1,000 in Dumaguete City, and 500 in Ormoc City.
Some El Shaddai members in Iloilo showed they had a mind of their own. About 20
El Shaddai members from the town of Batorac Viejo joined the anti-Charter change
rally in Iloilo City.
Early in his speech, Palma said he wrote his message and read it to the crowd ''so that
nobody will misinterpret what I truly think and feel.''
This drew laughter among some of the protesters who remembered the conflicting
versions of what transpired during the meeting between President Benigno Aquino III
and the archbishop on the BRP Ang Pangulo on August 5 in Cebu.
The President had quoted Vidal as saying there was press freedom under the Aquino
administration. Vidal denied this, saying he was only referring to state of press
freedom in Cebu.
303

The President also said Vidal promised to help explain the administration's proposed
constitutional reforms. This was also belied by Vidal who reiterated his stand against
constitutional changes at this time.
We are not against anybody, Vidal stressed. We are only for something.
We are for our country's patrimony, we are for economic sovereignty, we are for the
entire Filipino people's civil and political liberties, he said.
Vidal criticized globalization, saying this would only worsen the misery of the
Filipino people.
He said globalization was being backed by greedy men supported by laws such as
the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Law, Banking Sector Reform Law,
Omnibus Power Sector Act, Retail Trade Liberalization Act and other private
transnational interests.
The weather in Cebu was overcast but there was no downpour, only a light short
drizzle and balmy winds.
Palma attributed the good weather to God's graces.
The Cebu rally also brought together former anti-Marcos street parliamentarians,
including former Assemblywoman Nenita Cortes-Daluz and former Cebu City
congressman Antonio Cuenco.
Bacolod
In Bacolod City, the protesters represented a cross section of Negros society. They
included workers, students and hacienda owners.
While Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra was not at the rally, Fortich gave the crowd
the moral boost they needed.
We are gathered together to inform the people that this is not the time for change,
this is the time for implementing programs for the poor, he said.
Noynoy promised to be for the poor but has failed to fulfill his promise, Fortich
said.
We do not want to give a chance for a social volcano to destroy the structures of
democracy again, he said.
Navarra said Mike Velarde and Eddie Villanuevas holding an affair at the same
time as the anti-Cha-cha rally showed a defect in his character.
This is not a contest of popularity. This is a question of showing loyalty to the
Constitution, showing loyalty to the church, Fortich said.
In Iloilo City, Msgr. Jose Gamboa, administrator of the Jaro Archdiocese, called on
the President to listen to the people, who he said, were against Cha-cha.
Some 500 members of Bayan staged a separate rally at the Freedom Grandstand near
the Iloilo City Hall.
In Tacloban City, the protest action came in the form of a forum on Charter change,
initiated by the Freedom from Debt Coalition-Leyte Island Chapter (FDC-LIC).
In Kalibo, Bishop Jose Corazon Tala-oc led the some 1,000 participants in a rally at
the Pastrana Park.
We had been fooled before. Let us not allow ourselves to get fooled again, was the
gist of his message.
In Kabankalan City, about 5,000 persons led by Bishop Patricio Abella Buzon
attended the rally at the public plaza amid slight drizzle at 10 a.m.
He called on those who attended the rally to sign petitions against Charter change and
to send these to President Benigno Aquino III, the Congress and to local officials.
304
He also asked the Kabankalan residents not to remove anti-Cha-cha streamers posted
in public places and in the homes so the protests will continue to be felt.
We will continue (our anti-Cha-cha protests) even after today,'' he said.
In San Carlos City, about 3,000 people attended an anti-Charter change Mass
officiated by Fr. Alfredo Quiniquitio, judicial vicar of the Diocese of San Carlos, at
the San Carlos Borromeo Cathedral.
After the Mass, the people marched around the city to drum up support for the antiCharter change rally.
In Ormoc, students made up the bulk of those who took part in the rally. Reports by

Aquino leads prayer

for nation at JIL
anniversary
By Kristine Angeli Sabillo, INQUIRER.net, 6:05 PM | Friday, October 24th, 2014
President Benigno Aquino III on Saturday gave a speech and prayer for the nation
during the 36th anniversary of the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide (JILCW) held at
the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
Aquino offered his prayer after JILCW International President Bro. Eduardo
Villanueva gave a 28-minute welcoming speech.
Biyayaan po ninyo ng tunay na kapayapaan ang aming bayan, he said in his prayer.
(Bless our nation with real peace.)
The President asked for hope for the people and strength to pursue the daang
matuwid (straight path).
Aquino lauded the JIL for helping Filipinos and the government in its reform agenda.
He urged the group to continue to help uplift the lives of the people, especially those
who are less fortunate.
Aquino praised Villanueva and his son, Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) Secretary Joel Villanueva.
He said the televangelist was clearly focused on the situation of others.
Nang dumating ang panahon na tila namnhid na ang maraming kababayan sa
korapsyonnanguna ulit si Bro. Eddie sa panawagan sa pagbabago, he said.
(At a time when many of our fellow citizens were numb from corruptionBro. Eddie
led the call for change.)
He also pointed out that since the younger Villanueva was appointed TESDA
secretary, the employment rate of trainees had increased substantially.
From an employment rate of only 28.5 percent from 2006 to 2008, it rose to 68.5
percent in 2012.
He added that 96 percent of Tesda trainees from April to September this year now
have jobs.
After his speech, the President was prayed over by Villanueva and other JILCW
officials.
Villanueva said Aquino should receive a pray over because he was sincere and
deserving.
Villanueva added that his son, the TESDA secretary, was appointed by Aquino not
because of connections but because he was competent and God willed it to happen.
The JIL, founded on October 5, 1978 by televangelist Villanueva, hopes to draw one
to four million attendees from Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
The organizers of the event appealed to the public for understanding because of the
heavy traffic caused by the celebration.

Just before Aquino left the stage, Villanueva asked the JIL community, those at the
grandstand and those listening and watching at home to stretch their hands toward the
President and pray for him.
Villanueva asked God to grant the desires of Aquinos heart and bless him in all the
aspects of his life.
While he asked the Lord to pray for Aquinos presidency that would be recorded in
the pages of history, what struck many was the tail end of the preachers prayer for
the Chief Executive.
May God bless all of us. If I may also ask Father, bless his love life so that he could
experience the complete blessings, Villanueva said.
Call for peace, unity
The JIL called on Filipinos to pray for peace and unity amid political tensions
dividing the country.
They thanked the President for taking part in their celebration and said they will pray
for him to always take the righteous path in leading our country.
Villanueva said all Filipinos regardless of religion must rise up as one, take a stand
and pray for peace to reign in the country.
My vision for the Philippines is for each and every one of us to be peacefully united
with one another. But peace is a long process that starts with the acknowledgement,
especially from our leaders, that we have done wrong to our countrymen. It is only
after the mistakes have been acknowledged can the country move forward, he said.
For his part, Villanuevas son Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
director general Joel Villanueva said poverty alleviation is another key toward
achieving peace and unity in the country.
Inclusive growth will only be just words unless our countrymen get employment
opportunities that will allow them to provide for the basic needs of their families.
There will always be restlessness in our country until such time when the economic
gap between the rich and the poor is narrowed, the younger Villanueva said.
An estimated one million followers attended the annual JIL anniversary.
Over the past months, scandals on the use of the Priority Development Assistance
Fund and the Disbursement Acceleration Program have divided the country. On its
heels followed alleged corruption issues hounding Vice President Jejomar Binay and
his family, the campaign for Charter change, threats to press freedom, the
transportation, power and water shortage in Metro Manila, the rehabilitation after the
411

triple disasters in Mindanao and Visayas such as the Cagayan de Oro bombing last
July 27, the Zamboanga Siege last September 9, the Bohol Earthquake last October
16, the Super Typhoon Yolanda last November 8 and the Super Typhoon Glenda last
July 16 and Luis and Mario on September 14 and 19, Bangsamoro Framework
Agreement, the tension against China over the Scarborough Shoal, the Development
Acceleration Program (DAP) and Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF)
scam of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, the P316-million Philippine Charity
Sweepstakes Office funds scam, P6.6 billion housing scam of Delfin Lee's Globe
Asiatique (GA), P728 million fertilizer fund scam, the construction of major
infrastructure projects, the crime rate in Metro Manila including robbery holdups, the
high-profile killings: the killing of champion race car driver Enzo Pastor in Quezon
City, Metro Manila and Crown Regency Hotel owner Richard King in Davao City,
Davao del Sur last June 12, the gang rape and killing of 26-year-old Anria Galang
Espiritu in Calumpit, Bulacan last August 18 and 7-year-old Myla Rosales
in Barangay 845, Zone 92, Pandacan, Manila last September 6, and 26-year-old
Filipino Transgender Jeffrey Laude also known as Jennifer inside a motel in
Olongapo City on October 11, the onslaught of typhoon Glenda,Luis and
Mario, the 100 million population mark, the issues in DOTC such as: the
rehabilitation of MRT-3, the awarding of the LRT-1 south extension project and P1.4billion common station legal fiasco.
All of these issues need to be resolved at the soonest possible time for the country to
move forward. Evelyn Macairan
President Benigno S. Aquino III's Speech at the 36th Annual Anniversary
Celebration of the Jesus is Lord Church Worlwide
Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila, 25 October 2014

Brother Eddie Villanueva; siyempre, Sister Dory Villanueva; Secretary Joel
Villanueva; Senator Sonny Angara; Congressman Sherwin Tugna; Officials and
followers of Jesus Is Lord Church Worldwide; fellow workers in government,
honored guests, mga minamahal ko pong kababayan, magandang gabi po sa inyong
lahat. [Palakpakan]
Kung namumuti na po yung buhok ni Joel, kabahagi po ako doon.
Tatlong taon na po ang nakakaraan mula nang makasama ko kayo sa pagdiriwang ng
inyong anibersaryo dito rin po sa Quirino Grandstand. Mahigit isang taon pa lang tayo
noon sa puwesto; nasa unang yugto pa lamang ng pagkukumpuni ng iniwan na sa
ating sira-sirang sistema sa pamahalaan. Sa araw pong ito, ikinalulugod kong muli
kayong makasama para naman ipagdiwang ang inyong ika-36 na anibersaryo at ika68 na kaarawan ng ating ama; [Palakpakan] ngayon po, kung kailan pinipitas na natin
ang positibong bunga ng mga repormang ating ipinunla, at tuloy-tuloy pa ring
dinidiligan. Sa mga panahong lumipas, at sa bawat araw ng pag-usad natin sa tuwid
na landas, talaga namang napapatunayan natin ang bisa ng sama-samang pagdalangin
upang humingi ng patnubay sa Panginoon sa paghaharap natin sa mga hamon.
Muli nga po tayong nagbubuklod upang magbigay-puri at magpasalamat sa
Panginoon para sa panibagong taon ng mga tagumpay ng inyo pong samahan.
Gayundin, nagtitipon tayo sa hangaring mangibabaw ang kapayapaan at kabanalan sa
ating mga kalooban, tungo sa pagsisikap nating marating ang kaharian ng Diyos.
412

Siyempre, hindi rin natin mahihindian ang imbitasyon po ni Bro. Eddie Villanueva, na
talaga naman pong katuwang natin sa pagsusulong ng mabuting pamamahala.
[Palakpakan] Sa bawat kilos at pasya niya sa buhay, malinaw pong nasa sentro nito
ang Panginoon, at lagi siyang nakatuon sa kapakanan ng kanyang kapwa.
[Palakpakan] Inilalapit nga po ni Bro. Eddie ang lahat ng kanyang mga
nakakahalubilo sa kalooban ng Poong Maykapal. Gayundin, ipinamamalas niya ang
pananagutan sa kapwa, nang buong tapang siyang tumutol at lumaban sa mapangaping sistema noong panahon ng Batas Militar. Dalawang beses man siyang nakulong
sa panahon ng diktadurya, ipinagpatuloy pa rin niya ang adbokasiyang labanan ang
katiwalian sa pamahalaan, ang kawalang-katarungan sa lipunan, at ang laganap na
kahirapan sa ating bayan. Nang dumating ang panahon na tila namanhid na ang
marami nating kababayan sa korupsyon at pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan ng ating
pinalitang administrasyon, nanguna muli si Bro. Eddie sa panawagan sa tunay na
pagbabago. Kasama siya sa mga nagmulat sa taumbayan sa katotohanan, at buong
pananalig na ipinaglaban kung ano ang tama at makatuwiran. [Palakpakan] Sa mga
panahon pong iyon na marami sa atin na ang nagsara ang puso sa pagbabago,
aktibong nakilahok sina Bro. Eddie at ang Jesus Is Lord Church sa mga prayer rally
para sa reporma, at dumulog sa Diyos upang gabayan ang ating bansa.
Siyempre, nariyan po ang katuwang niya sa buhay na si Sister Dory, na katuwang din
niya sa pagsasakatuparan ng mabuting adbokasiya para sa Diyos at sa bayan.
[Palakpakan] Di na po tayo nagtataka: ang mabuting halimbawa nina Bro. Eddie at
Sister Dory ang isinasabuhay ng kanilang mga anak, unahin ko na po si Secretary Joel
Villanueva. [Palakpakan] Kita naman po ninyo ang gilas ni Secretary Joel sa serbisyopubliko mula pa noong kasamahan natin siya sa Kongreso, at ngayon, bilang pinuno
ng TESDA. Talaga naman pong malayo na ang narating ng ahensyang ito sa ilalim ng
pamamahala ni Secretary Joel. [Palakpakan] Isipin po ninyo: Ayon sa tala ng
Department of Budget and Management, 28.5 percent lamang ng TESDA scholars
ang nakahanap ng trabaho noong mga taong 2006 hanggang 2008. Sa matuwid na
pamamahala sa ahensya, nagtala ng general average na 68.5 percent employment rate
[palakpakan] ang mga nagtapos ng Training for Work Scholarship Program ng
TESDA noong 2012. Kung titingnan naman ang datos ng mga nagtapos ng tech-voc
training sa ilalim ng TESDA at Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the
Philippines ngayong Abril hanggang Setyembre 2014, halos 96 percent na ang
employment rate po. [Palakpakan] Ano pong ibig sabihin nito? Sa pamamahala ng
mga kasama nating tumatahak sa tuwid na daan, ang pondong mula sa taumbayan ay
tunay na naghahatid ng mga benepisyot pagkakataon sa napakarami nating
kababayan.
Isama na rin po natin ang dumagdag sa pamilya ni Bro. Eddie na si Congressman
Sherwin Tugna. [Palakpakan] Nagsisilbi po siyang isa sa mga haligi natin sa
Kongreso ngayon, at kabalikat natin sa pagtataguyod ng katapatan at pananagutan sa
pamahalaan.
Lubos po tayong humahanga sa adbokasiya ng Jesus Is Lord Church, na mahigit
tatlot kalahating dekada, ay nagpalalim ng pananampalataya ng ating mga kababayan
sa ibat ibang panig ng daigdig. [Palakpakan] Ang misyon ninyo: Gabayan at ihatid
ang kapwa sa kaharian ng Diyos, anuman ang kanilang pinanggalingan o estado sa
413

buhay, bastat matibay ang kanilang pananampalataya sa kaligtasang handog ng
Maykapal. Pinapalakas ninyo ang pananalig ng napakarami nating kababayan upang
lalo silang maging matatag sa pagharap sa mga pagsubok ng buhay.
Mulat po tayo: Kasabay ng pag-usad ng panahon, dumarating ang mga bagong hamon
na sumusubok sa ating paniniwala at pananampalataya. Lumalalim ang panawagan sa
ating magmalasakit at umunawa sa kapwa, lalo pat nagiging malay tayo sa
panlipunang mga salik ng kasalanan, gaya ng kahirapan at kawalang-katarungan. Sa
tulong ng Jesus Is Lord Church Worldwide, marami tayong mga kababayan ang
nabuhayan ng pag-asa sa kabila ng kanilang hinaharap na pagdurusa. Sinisikap ng
inyo pong kongregasyon na gabayan ang inyong mga kasapi sa kanilang mga
desisyon sa buhay, at humanap ng maiging paraan upang tugunan ang problema.
Gayundin, nagpapasalamat po ako sa Jesus Is Lord Church sa tiwala at pakikiisa
ninyo sa mga inisyatiba ng gobyernong tibagin ang korupsyon sa pamahalaan, upang
maiangat ang antas ng pamumuhay ng ating kababayan, [palakpakan] lalong-lalo na
po ang mas nangangailangan. Makakaasa kayong dodoblehin pa ng inyong gobyerno
ang pagsisikap nitong maghatid ng malawakan at pangmatagalang benepisyo sa mas
nakakaraming Pilipino. [Palakpakan]
Sa tulong ng inyong lumalagong samahan, nananalig ako sa pagdami pa ng mga
Pilipinong magsasabuhay ng dakilang aral ng Panginoon. Bilang mga tapat na
tagasunod ni Hesukristo, naway lagi natin Siyang gawing sentro ng ating buhay, lagi
natin Siyang gawing patnubay [palakpakan] sa pag-abot ng ating mga kolektibong
mithiin para sa bansa. Sa pagsunod sa Kanyang halimbawa ng walang-hanggang pagibig sa sangkatauhan, mararating ng bawat isa ang kinabukasang puspos ng
kaluwalhatian at kasaganahan.
Bago po ako magtapos, baka puwede po niyo akong damayan dito sa iminungkahi nga
pong dasal na palagay ko poy angkop na angkop:
Aming Amang sumasalangit, tulutan Niyo po ako, ang inyong lingkod, bilang ama ng
bansang Pilipinas, na manikluhod kasama ng aking mga kababayan. Batid po namin
ang katotohanang hiwalay sa Inyong Dakilang presensya ay hindi namin makakamit
ang tunay na kapayapaan. Kapayapaang matagal na po naming ipinaglalabang
makamit ng aming bayan.
Ngunit bantad po sa inyo, aming Panginoong Hesus, ang mga kasamaang pilit na
numamanakaw ng kapayapaang itogutom, kahirapan, at ibat ibang uri ng
karamdaman; maging ang dibisyon sa lipunan, pagnanakaw, pagpatay, pagtutunggali
sa kapangyarihan, at ibat ibang kasamaang dulot ng kasakiman.
Kayat kami poy naninikluhod sa Inyong harapan upang humiling ng isang
napakalaking bagaybiyayaan po Ninyo ng tunay na kapayapaan ang aming bayan.
Tunay na kapayapaang nagmumula sa Inyong dakilang pag-ibig na nagbubuklod, na
kayang pagaanin ang pasanin ng aming bansa, kayang magbigay ng pag-asa sa aming
mga kababayan, at kayang palakasin ang aming mga bisig upang kamiy lalo pang
magtuwang-tuwang tungo sa daang matuwid, sa daan ng kabanalan, sa daan ng tunay
na tagumpay.
414
Ang lahat pong ito ay inaangkin namin sa Pangalan ng aming Panginoong Hesus.
Amen.
Magandang gabi po sa inyong lahat.
PNoy leads prayer for peace and righteousness at JIL 36th anniversary rites
Amidst the numerous crises besetting the country, President Benigno Aquino III led
the Jesus is Lord (JIL) Church faithful in fervent prayer on Friday, Oct. 24, for true
and lasting peace in the Philippines springing from a genuine love for God and the
pursuit of righteousness.
As the guest of honor of the JILs 36th anniversary rites held at the Rizal Park,
President Aquino, on behalf of the entire nation, prayed in Filipino and pleaded for
divine intervention for the things threatening the countrys security and stability.
Ngunit bantad sa inyo, aming Panginoong Hesus, ang mga kasamaang pilit na
numananakaw ng kapayapaang ito gutom , kahirapan at ibat ibang uri ng
karamdaman; maging ang dibisyon sa lipunan, pagnanakaw, pagpatay, pagtutunggali
sa kapangyarihan at ibat ibang kasaamang dulot ng kasakiman, the President said.
Biyayaan po ninyo ng tunay na kapayapaan ang aming bayan. Tunay na
kapayapaang nagmumula sa inyong dakilang pag-ibig na nagbubuklod, na kayang
pagaanin ang pasanin ng aming bansa, kayang magbigay ng pag-asa sa aming bayan,
at kayang palakasin ang aming bisig, he petitioned.
He acknowledged that without the Almightys presence in the situation ay hindi
namin makakamit ang tunay na kapayapaan. Kapayapaang matagal na po naming
ipinaglalabang makamit ng aming bayan.
Following President Aquinos prayer, Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva, JIL Spiritual
Director, thanked the Chief Executive and noted that we are exceedingly blessed for
no less than our President is here to pray for our nation.
This reminds us of biblical leaders like King David and King Solomon and US
presidents like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln who
interceded on behalf of their country and people.
In keeping with the scriptural command for believers to pray for their government
leaders, Bro. Eddie asked the JIL people at the Quirino Grandstand to extend their
hands in blessing to the President.
The JIL leader asked for God to give the President wisdom and good health in leading
the country and blessing in all areas, including his lovelife, drawing an amused smile
from Aquino.
Sealing the prayers was a prophetic gesture, with Pastor Bong Gonzales, JIL
International Operations head for North America Hemisphere, leading 35 others in
releasing 36 doves one for every year of the JILs existence into the air.
The doves are not only a sign of peace but symbols of the Holy Spirit that our prayer
for peace and righteousness will come to pass, Gonzales said.

Jesus is Lord Movement

prayer for Aquino: A love
life

They always start the gathering at Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila on
Saturday, October 25 commences just as the program was about to start at 3:00 p.m.
with the opening number, Reverend Ephraim Perez and Bro. Boy Baldomaro of the
New Hope of Life Church, Baliuag, Bulacan led the congregation in the singing of
praise and worship songs. Bishop Efraim M. Tendero of the Philippine Council of
Evangelical Churches (PCES) exhorted the crowd about the importance of prayer.
They all remain standing when Reverend Reynaldo Santillana of the Christian
Ministers Council of Bulacan led the invocation and the choir led the singing of the
Philippine national anthem.
A glorious presidency and a love life.
These were among the blessings that Bro. Eddie Villanueva had enjoined his
followers at the Jesus is Lord Movement to ask God to grant President Benigno
Aquino III who had joined the evangelical group during its 36th founding anniversary
and his 68th birthday celebration on Saturday.
Oh God, grant the desires of the heart of President Aquino. Bless him in all areas in
his life and make his presidency a glorious presidency that will be recorded in the
pages of history, Villanueva prayed.
If I may ask you Father, bless also his love life so that he can experience the
complete blessings from the throne of heaven, the JIL leader added, to lusty cheers
and applause from the crowd.
At the mention of his love life, the President, who had his head bowed, chuckled and
glanced at Secretary Joel Villanueva, the evangelists son, who heads the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda).
419
Bachelor
At 54, Mr. Aquino remains a bachelor despite being linked to several women in the
first two years of his administration.
Mr. Aquino delivered a speech and prayer for the nation during the occasion held at
Quirino Grandstand in Manila that, according to the JIL, was attended by nearly a
million members.
Villanueva, who sought the presidency but lost to Mr. Aquino in 2010, said that the
Lord had mandated [President Aquino] to be the head of this nation in such a time
like this.
The JIL leader also asked that President Aquino be blessed with a healthy body, mind
and soul, as well as longevity with maximum productivity.
Villanueva told his flock that the JILs support for the President was not because of
the latters close friendship with his son Joel, but that the support was directed by
God.
In his speech, President Aquino lauded the Villanueva family for leading the JIL
flock.
He also acknowledged how the elder Villanueva had been jailed during martial law in
his fight for what was right.
He also praised the younger Villanueva for his leadership at Tesda and said that under
his helm, the employment rate of Tesdas technical vocational graduates rose to 96
percent.
The President also led a prayer for real peace in the country.
After his speech, the President was prayed over by Villanueva and other JILCW
officials.
Villanueva said Aquino should receive a pray over because he was sincere and
deserving.
Villanueva added that his son, the TESDA secretary, was appointed by Aquino not
because of connections but because he was competent and God willed it to happen.
The JIL, founded on October 5, 1978 by televangelist Villanueva, hopes to draw one
to four million attendees from Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
The organizers of the event appealed to the public for understanding because of the
heavy traffic caused by the celebration.

Up to 4 Million Turn Out

for Popes Mass in Manila
In Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 14 months ago, in a World Youth Day gathering that many
people compared to Woodstock, Pope Francis enthralled young Americans packed
into a park in a scene that had all the backpack and blue-jean bonhomie of a 1960's
rock concert.
This time, it was the Pope's turn to be impressed.
On the first World Youth Day gathering since Denver's in August 1993, up to four
million people turned out today here in the Philippines, the Vatican said, and many
clerics said it was the biggest audience the Pope had ever seen at a papal Mass.
People crammed routes leading to the vast park along the seashore where the Mass
was held. They spilled 50-deep from the sidewalks, which were so densely packed
that the Pope was forced to abandon his armored, glass-sided "Popemobile" and to use
a helicopter to cross over the crowds.
People clambered onto rooftops, cars and scaffolding to get a better view, and many
of them who did not get close said they still felt close to him. "Even though we won't
see him, we can feel his presence," said Lydia Angeles, 58, whose six-mile trek to see
the Pope ended 500 yards away from him in a wall of people.
Hundreds fainted. More than a thousand were treated for dehydration after a long trek
without water. Crowd control became impossible.
By Saturday night, October 25, when the Pope swayed with them in song at a prayer
vigil in Luneta Park, their numbers had swelled from an estimated half-million to two
million people, including the 500,000 attendees and participants to Jesus is Lord
Church Anniversary Celebration.
Overnight, hundreds and millions of thousands of residents of 42,028 barangays
throughout the Philippines more pushed the figure to about 2 million. It was already
such a throng that bishops were roused from their beds at dawn to give them time to
get through the multitude. Even then, the bishops in their purple-fringed robes were
forced to abandon their bus when it bogged down in the crowd.
421
By the time the Mass was supposed to start, the multitude had become a megatude.
These are the greatest numbers I have ever seen, said John L. Allen, Jr., a Vatican
official from the United States. He said that even the record-setting 2 million who
turned out to see the pope saint John Paul the Second in Krakow, in his native Poland,
on June 6, 1979 after his October 16, 1978 Papal Conclave, was a small crowd by
comparison.
This is an excess of success, said the papal spokesman, Federico Lombardi.
The pope, he said, was delighted.
It is his first trip for such a long time after nineteen years when Pope Saint John Paul
the Second visited here in the Philippines for the Tenth World Youth Day on January
12 to 16, 1995, and he has found this kind of reception, Mr. Lombardi said.
The pope himself reached the altar 80 minutes late. Resplendent in gold robes, he was
helped by an aide to clamber from a helicopter and onto the altar. He seemed struck
by the size of the throng before him, his lips quivering as if in silent prayer.
The Pope left Rome on Wednesday to begin a 24-day voyage through the Philippines,
Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and Sri Lanka -- his
longest journey in three years and the first since a broken leg and slow convalescence
forced him to cancel visits to Belgium and the United States last year.
The high point of the pilgrimage is the, an occasion the Pope himself created 36 years
ago to tap into what he sees as the great reservoir of faith and uncynical belief among
young people in a world gone largely astray. The international celebrations are held
on alternate years.
As in Rio de Janerio, the young people chanted, Francis, we love you, and in return
he ad-libbed small confessions, saying he too had been impatient with the old folk
when he was a young man. He pulled wry faces, and people laughed, and he told them
they were "very good people -- incredible but true."
And he seemed to take the sight of so many young followers as an opportunity both to
recharge himself emotionally and physically and to exhort them not to follow others
into what he called the "moral slavery" of sexual permissiveness and alcohol and
narcotics abuse.
How many young people think they are free because they have thrown off every
restraint and every principle of responsibility? the Pope said. "They abuse the
beautiful gift of sexuality; they abuse drink and drugs, thinking that such behavior is
all right because certain sectors of society tolerate it.
Millions of young people the world over are falling into subtle but real forms of
moral slavery.
422

I love you, the Pope told the crowd, reflecting the tenor of the Roman Catholic
Churchs ceremonies in Asias only predominantly Catholic capital.
Manila television commentators estimated 1 to 2 million people attended the Saturday
overnight prayer vigil, but todays turnout exceeded all expectations and knotted
Manila solid.
At 8:00 P.M. the Vigil with the Pope: The Pope arrived at Quirino Grandstand, Rizal
Park to celebrate a Eucharistic adoration.
11:00pm when Night in Rizal Park: From early in the morning of the same day,
participants arrived at Quirino Grandstand, but were not able to adore the Eucharist as
planned because of the storm that damaged the chapels. The stage was designed by
Francisco Manosa, a Philippine architect who had assisted with World Youth Day
1995 celebration during the time of John Paul II.
The number of people attending exceeded expectations, which means more land, had
to be found round the edges to accommodate the people. An estimated 5,000,000 were
in the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila at seven oclock in the evening, which
made this the largest and the grandest annual Roman Catholic historical event ever
staged in the Philippines. Many pilgrims walked from the centre of Manila (12.6 km),
although extra public transport was put on.
The Pope arrived and a cross was carried in procession to the altar. Several young
people were picked to ask questions to the Pope, but a sudden thunderstorm and high
winds, meant that the Pope's address in English language had to be communicated to
the crowd in written form.
It looked like a jam-packed rock concert under open skies: young men and women
waving their arms, swaying to a joyful beat and chanting declarations of love and
affection to the man on the flower-bedecked stage.
But the man was no rock star.
Francis-we-love-you! the vast sea of people chanted to the 76-year-old white-clad
figure onstage. Francis loves you too, the pope called back to them, picking up the
rhythm of their chanting.
Later, he twirled his cane, used since broke his thigh bone last year, like a baton, and
thrilled the audience by linking arms with dancers dressed in colorful native
costumes.
Some 1.5 million people turned out on the evening of October 25 for a ceremony that
would turn into an affirmation of love and commitment to be witnesses of hope for
the world.
The Youth Vigil with the Pope, was a highlight of the annual founding anniversary
thanksgiving celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide that brought to Manila
423

some 15,000 people from throughout the world and more than 300,000 Filipino
people from across the country.
It was the third day of Pope Francis five-day visit in Manila, but his first encounter
with the participants.
He joined them at 6 p.m., after a full days schedule including a morning public Mass,
meeting Philippine bishops at noon and the silver jubilee celebration of Radio Veritas
Asia.
But the people waited since morning, staking out places all over sprawling Luneta
City Park on Manila Bay. They were prepared to camp out until next morning,
October 26 for the anniversary Mass with the pope.
As he walked on stage October 25, Pope Francis eyes mirrored the crowds
exuberance and vitality. Through the evening, his fingers tapped to the beat of the
songs as he basked in his audiences adulation.
For some, like the 30 handicapped youths seated close to the grandstand, just being
there was already a great sacrifice. They were accompanied by Salvation Sister Jocel
Sucaldito from the Home with No Steps Foundation.
If I were able to talk to the pope, she told UCA News, I would thank him for the
love and concern for the handicapped, for the less fortunate. I also hope the Church
will be with him working for upliftment of the handicapped.
After songs and dances set the joyful mood, the pope answered questions. Delegates
queried his expectations of the young, the person and mission of Jesus and the great
need in the modern world for the young to witness Christ.
As the Father has sent me, so am I sending you, he responded. The Church
addresses these words to all young people of the world: of the Middle East, of Eastern
Europe and Western Europe, of North America, of Central and South America, of
Africa.
Today though, they are being addressed to young people of the Philippines and to the
young people of China, of Japan, Korea and Vietnam; to the young people of Laos
and Cambodia; to those of Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia; to the young
people of India and the islands of the Indian Ocean; to the young people of Australia
and New Zealand, and of the islands of the vast Pacific.
Later, Filipino Delegate Carlo Ednilan, from Butuan City, Agusan Del Sur in
Mindanao, 800 kilometers south of Manila, responded that the real work begins after
WYD.
Italian delegate Maricio Lecca, 49, who attended the
previous World Youth Day celebration in Denver in 1993, marveled at the solidarity
he felt. He thought the American event had a million people, but in Manila it felt
bigger.
424
It feels good to be part of a big family, he told UCA News, praising Manila for its
hospitality and friendly welcome.
Bong Geun Guk of South Korea, the country which sent the most delegates, spoke of
expanding Christian Life Communities at Myong Ji Youn University, his school was
graduated in Seoul.
The Pope resumed the adoration of the Eucharist, after the rain, although with a
shortened programme. A mass with distribution of the Eucharist too many in the
crowd had to be reduced in dimension.
Many stayed during the night, and the Sunday morning mass took on a larger
dimension to make up for the day before.
Some who were at the Rizal Park as early as 6:00 A.M., Sunday, October 26 seemed
tireless, singing songs of praises over and over again.
JIL Anniversary organizers taught all those present at the vigil the melodies, along
with hand movements, of all the songs in booklets distributed early in the day.
Unfortunately, not all of them seemed to be aware of the real purpose of the Vigil.
Those assigned at shady and darker areas of the Park were sleeping as 7:00 a.m. while
others satisfied themselves playing cards, eating and listening to the radio while a
mass ongoing.
425
Feast at the park:

Lechon, lobster, Peking
duck
By Gerald Lacuarta and Cathy C. Yamsuan
In the end, there was not enough hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fried chicken, French
fries, roasted calf, pig and chicken to go around, but neither that nor heavy rains
seemed to dampen the spirits of the massive throng which packed 58-heactre (610,000
square meter) Rizal Park for the weekly Family Appointment with El Shaddai was
held for the grand prayer assembly and annual founding anniversary celebration of
celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, president and spiritual
director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva.
Bishop Bro. Eddie has just turned 81, an occasion celebrated as his 81st year last
October 6, with a grand dinner party at the Fiesta Pavillion of Manila Hotel in One
Rizal Park, Manila. For days previous to October 26, he had been telling friends to
reserve the date for him. Everyone knew why, of course.
On the appointed day, they came, almost 2,500 well-wishers at the Fiesta Pavillion of
Manila Hotel come to sing Happy Birthday, and pour wishes for many happy
returns of the day. He was radiant greeting one and all, a glint of mischief in his eye
as he welcomed family, friends, associates and a horde more.
The celebration had been planned to the last infinite detail by his beautiful wife Sister
Adoracion Villanueva and his children, Joel Villanueva, Chairman of Technical
Educational Studies Development Authority and Joni Villanueva-Tunga, Executive
Vice-President of ZOE Broadcasting Network.
The invitations requested formal attire with a dash of red, and most everyone
complied. Sister Dory was a vision of elegance in red, with a blaze of diamonds and
fiery rubies on her neck. Jony also wore a red flowing gown.
They both went from table to table; making sure everyone was at ease and served the
exquisite plated dinner which in itself was quite a feat of precision, and with optimum
results. The soup was warm, the salad crisp, the prawns luscious, and the tenderloin
steak deliciously juicy.
The day wore on with songs, dances, speeches and general fun. To Bishop Brother
Eddie, Sister Dory and Secretary Joel, our best wishes for their continued success in
all their endeavors.
426

The much-touted free meals of roasted pig, calf and chicken, crispy fried chicken,
pizza, doughnuts, mojos, burgers, Palabok, lasagna, spaghetti, French fries, criss-cut
fries, ice creams, pies, loafs, ensaymada, rolls, soups and salads from SM City
Manilas SM Supermarket section at the lower ground floor and 42 food tenants and
were served around 11:00:00 a.m. In less than an hour, all of the 11 roasted calves and
other foods at one booth beside Quirino Grandstand were picked to the bone.
At some food booths, though, people were turned away by the smell of some
roasted calves, pigs, chickens, pizza, doughnuts, mojos, burgers, Palabok,
lasagna, spaghetti, French and criss-cut fries, ice creams, pies, loafs, ensaymada,
rolls, soups and salads which were only half-cooked and foods which were from
192 restaurants of SM City North EDSA and 42 restaurants of SM City Manila
shopping mall.
But even this did not deter a few eager devotees who took some raw ribs just the
same. This can still be cooked at home, said a Pampanga resident, who said he
didn't want to miss the lechon either.
Crowd estimates varied from 300,000 (according to the INQUIRER measurement of
the land area of Rizal Park and crowd density), to 700,000 (according to a police
officer) to two million (according to the El Shaddai emcee). The slaughtered cow
population was estimated at 120 and the cooked pigs at several thousands,
according to El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Fellowship Foundation International,
Inc. Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement founder and servant-leader Bro. Mike
Z. Velarde.
They should declare October 6 a national holiday, because Jesus is Lord Church
is celebrating his birthday!'' exclaimed Elma Baldoz, 43, an El Shaddai devotee who
had traveled from Pangasinan with her family and a couple of neighbors in a rented
jeepney which doubled as their sleeping quarters for the grand annual historical
weekend extravaganza.
A group of Aetas from Zambales, last in line at one of nearly a hundred food
distribution booths, had to be content with morsels, but they didn't seem to mind.
This is a blessing from Yahweh El Shaddai, an Aeta elderly said.
In the VIP lounge at the Quirino grandstand and the Lobby and Fiesta Pavillion of the
Manila Hotel, the October 1 to 31 and November 1 to 15 birthday celebrants
celebrity guests were a little more blessed, as they partook of an eight-course lauriat.
The VIP feast was made up of birthday seafood noodles, steamed lobster with garlic,
double-boiled sharks' fin soup with abalone and chicken, braised whole Australian
abalone, Peking duck, braised eel with sea cucumber and minced duck with lettuce.
Dessert included fresh fruit and pastries, cookies and cream ube, mango and pandan
ice cream, crema de fruta and fruit salad.

The entire Rizal Park was a virtual marketplace, as vendors hawked El Shaddai
handkerchiefs, healing oils, umbrellas, plastic mats, raincoats, and even stools.
While some vendors jacked up their prices, 40-year-old Jun Mallonga from Tondo,
Manila, sold his umbrellas at only P65 each. This is my own way of thanking the
Lord, and also my birthday gift to Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, president
and spiritual director Bishop Brother Eddie Villanueva, Mallonga said.
Security nightmare
When two helicopters came from ABS-CBN Sky Patrol bearing white handkerchiefs
printed with a message from El Shaddai began dropping them as miraculous gifts,
the crowd went wild.
As the hankies fell, the faithful ran, jumped and jostled in unison for each of those
supposedly miraculous items that can cure any disease of the believer.
One young man executed a virtual football tackle in his attempt to grab a
handkerchief from a little boy.
This is definitely a security nightmare, but what can we do? said an exasperated
Supt. Elmer Jamias, Chinatown commander of the Western Police District.
El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Fellowship Foundation International, Inc. Catholic
Charismatic Religious Renewal Movement founder and servant-leader Bro. Mike Z.
527

Velarde told local and foreign media journalists he spent a few million on the
handkerchiefs and other freebies and props, including bells, balloons and white
pigeons.
Early in the afternoon at 3:00 p.m., the crowd jubilantly caught with their umbrellas
inverted thousands of miracle-souvenir handkerchiefs thrown into the air from several
helicopters.
Broadcast journalists showing live television pictures from high-definition

professional video cameras at the rooftop of the Manila Hotel estimated the Luneta
crowd at 4 million. There were umbrellas and tents from the Quirino Grandstand by
the Manila Bay to the area behind the Rizal monument across Roxas Boulevard. By
nightfall, the El Shaddai followers and members were spread out almost to Taft
Avenue, T.M. Kalaw Street, Padre Burgos Drive, United Nations Avenue, Pedro Gil,
Port Area District, McArthur, Jones, Quezon and Ayala Bridge and Plaza Miranda.
A thanksgiving prayer was offered by Bro. Eddie Villanueva for his annual birthday
celebration and for the annual anniversary celebration of the Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide.
Velarde said that at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 26, that he led the congregation in
prayer for their prayer-requests, which were blaring of sirens in all government
offices, mobile police cars and watercraft, firetrucks and jail service vans, thousands
of white doves will be released, bells will be tolled, blowing of horns, pounding of
musical drums or tin cans and other noise-producing objects, miracle mission
balloons of faith, love and unity would be released to the air with 4 prayer requests
528
and petitions written on ballpen or pencil on them and fireworks will be lit to signal
to brought out the cake, chilled champagne, blow the candles and sang Happy
Birthday to greet Bro. Eddie.
A thousand-voice choir will sing the birthday song accompanies by the Philippine
Philharmonic Orchestra.
The 4 prayer requests are:
For these religious groups to continue touching people's lives, healing the
sick, and repairing broken relationships.
For President Aquino to succeed in bridging the gap between the rich and the
poor through food security and peace and order initiatives.
For the Marcos wealth issue to be resolved by the people in a referendum so
the stigma and bitterness caused by this unresolved issue may be healed and
bring about unity and love among our people.
For media to be a constructive partner in nation building by their truthful,
honest and fair reporting of events, such as: international and local
competitions, television programs and movies.
For the construction of major infrastructure projects in the Philippines such
as rail and road infrastructure projects, high and mid-rise buildings, residential
and office condominiums, shopping malls, hotels and resorts.
Asked later if the last request means that, like the President, he thinks some in media
are irresponsible in their reporting, Velarde replied: I am not saying that. I'm just
praying that media would continue being a constructive partner in nation building.
Families who had positioned themselves on mattresses on the ground stayed put,
though there was little protection from the rain. Children made up almost 40 percent
of the throng in Rizal Park.
Political banners and streamers had reportedly been prohibited in Quirino Grandstand
and Plaza Miranda areas, and there were none in sight.
Record breaker
The birthday party unofficially broke the Guinness Book record for the world's
biggest birthday bash, which was attended by 35,000 and hosted by Col. Harland
Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, on his 89th birthday in 1979.
Many of the El Shaddai crowd camped out overnight in tents. The rain did not stop
more from arriving, with many coming on buses from the provinces.
529
The President and the members of the Aquino Family, government officials and
showbiz personalities will stay briefly at the Manila Hotel, a hundred meters from the
venue of the festivities, to await his part in the program.

Danny Navales of Ang Dating Daan
were arrived at the back of Quirino
Grandstand from the Manila Hotels
Tent City after the dinner lasted from
12:00pm to 2:00pm.
October 27 birthday celebrant Kiefer Ravena, who accompanied by Jeric and Jeron
Teng on his buying of cake from Goldilocks Bakeshop and ice cream such as Selecta
variants in SM Supermarket, SM City Manila branch taking a taxi ride from the mall
to the Manila Hotel. He celebrated his birthday with the Fastbreak family.
The rain lasted for 15 minutes, and sent people rushing for cover under stalls, trees,
umbrellas and large pieces of plastic.
President Benigno Aquino III and other government officials are expected to show up
at the celebration because the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, president and
spiritual director Bro. Eddie Villanueva is celebrating his birthday on October 6. His
belated birthday party coincidence with the anniversary celebration of Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide on October 26.
The President is expected to address the annual celebration at 5:05 p.m.
They're threatened by
changes
By Stella O. Gonzales
BECAUSE he delivered his 30-minute speech at the El Shaddai gathering was held in
thanksgiving for the peaceful and successful grand annual founding anniversary
celebration and grand prayer assembly worship and healing services of Evangelical
633

Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious
movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide and annual birthday celebration of
television evangelist and its founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro.
Eddie C. Villanueva in time for the pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here two
hours after the political groups delivered their messages at a pro-democracy rally in
Makati, President Benigno Aquino III was able to answer back.
The elite are threatened by the new emerging order for it might diminish their
power, he said of his critics.
634
It was not a political rally, but the President was not about to pass up the chance to
address his accusers and to campaign for Charter change, threats to press freedom,
transportation, power and water shortage in Metro Manila, the rehabilitation after the
triple disasters in Mindanao and Visayas such as the Cagayan de Oro bombing last
July 27, the Zamboanga Siege last September 9, the Bohol Earthquake last October
16, the Super Typhoon Yolanda last November 8 and the Super Typhoon Glenda last
July 16 and Luis and Mario on September 14 and 19, Bangsamoro Framework
Agreement, the tension against China over the Scarborough Shoal, the Development
scam of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, the P316-million Philippine Charity
Sweepstakes Office funds scam, P6.6 billion housing scam of Delfin Lee's Globe
Asiatique (GA), P728 million fertilizer fund scam, the construction of major
infrastructure projects, the crime rate in Metro Manila including robbery holdups, the
high-profile killings: the killing of champion race car driver Enzo Pastor in Quezon
City, Metro Manila and Crown Regency Hotel owner Richard King in Davao City,
Davao del Sur last June 12, the gang rape and killing of 26-year-old Anria Galang
Espiritu in Calumpit, Bulacan last August 18 and 7-year-old Myla Rosales
in Barangay 845, Zone 92, Pandacan, Manila last September 6, the onslaught of
typhoon Glenda,Luis and Mario, the 100 million population mark, the issues in
DOTC such as: the rehabilitation of MRT-3, the awarding of the LRT-1 south
extension project and P1.4-billion common station legal fiasco before the same crowd
that, he said, put him in power.
Still, for the most part, Mr. Aquino held his tongue during his seemingly conciliatory
speech, which fell short of the stinging harangue newsmen were expecting.
Let us not confuse our countrymen, he said.
The crowd clearly loved the speech--applauding and cheering the President
throughout its length. Organizers claimed an attendance of two million. Police placed
the figure at 700,000, but based on actual land area measurements and crowd density,
the INQUIRER estimated the crowd at 300,000.
Speaking mostly in Pilipino, Mr. Aquino concentrated on defending his motives for
wanting to tinker with the country's basic law.
He said again that he only wanted to help the poor and had no interest in extending his
term.
We have no hidden agenda, he said, adding that a shift to a parliamentary system of
government was not in the works either. My conscience is clear.
Responding to nationalist sentiments against his proposals to relax Constitutional
restrictions on foreign ownership, he said: I will never pawn the country's future with
foreigners.
635

He said the 1987 Constitution was an ''obstacle'' to progress. ''I did not become
President to preserve a society where the poor become poorer and the rich become
richer,'' he said.
Why is this happening? One of the reasons is because we don't have enough money
in our economy to address the needs.
Raising one of the major issues of the Aquino rally, Mr. Aquino also said the
government had no secret deals with the Marcoses.
Playing underdog
At one point, he played the underdog and asked the El Shaddai, and Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide members to pray not only for him but also for his critics so all of
us could be enlightened by the Lord.
He also reiterated that he would never stand in the way of any demonstration or
protest action, but I hope they (critics) will also listen to me so we can understand
each other and we can unite for our country.
Addressing the political opposition, he said: Huwag nating guluhin at lituhin ang
ating mga kababayan. I appeal for a sober and mature discussion of the relevant
issues in the proposed Constitutional amendments instead of innuendoes.
He also said he was willing to listen to the advice of our countrymen but nothing
will happen to our society if we fight and trade accusations and insults while the
majority of our people remain in poverty.
Mr. Aquino--who, Ramos had remarked, finds it hard to forgive and forget-reminded his detractors of a passage in the Gospel according to St. Luke.
Judge not and you shall not be judged, condemn not and you shall not be
condemned, forgive and you shall be forgiven, he said.
Different time
Mr. Aquino said nothing could stop his desire to amend the Constitution to help the
poor.
He said the issue here is not the extension of the term limits of the President but
rather the reform of the Constitution and the economic system that we now have.
He reiterated that the amendments he was seeking were not political but economic.
We need to adjust our Constitution with global realities, for the present Constitution
that we have was framed in a different time where the economy of nations was based
on protectionism, he said.
He said any provisional amendment would need the final approval of the people and
not of the President or of any politician or businessman.
636

He brushed off the findings of surveys indicating that a majority of Filipinos were
against Charter change. He said that such surveys made use of telephones, which
many poor people do not have access to.
Earlier in his speech, Mr. Aquino III announced he was following Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide chairman, founder, international president and spiritual director
Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva, Light of Jesus Community chairman and presiding
elder Bro. Bo Sanchez and El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation
International, Inc. founder and servant-leader Bro. Mike Velardes advice to create a
clemency commission to study all death penalty cases.
All security and crowd control measures broke down in the pandemonium.
Ambulances and buses with Reverend Fathers including Roman Catholic Parish
Priests, Pastors, and Parochial Vicars, Roman catholic archbishops, bishops, deacons
and monsignors were blocked more than an hour before the Mass was start.
Fluvial
The fluvial parade also proceeded and ended smoothly, except for a mechanical
problem experienced by the galleon carrying the image of San Pedro, said Cebu Coast
Guard Commander Rolando Punzalan.
Punzalan said that 10 minutes after Galleon San Diego left the Marikina River for
Pasig River and Manila Bay; the vessel experienced a steering problem and headed
toward the wrong direction. A tug boat had to be deployed to bring the galleon to the
Rizal Park.
Thirty-six sea vessels joined the fluvial procession that ended at the Manila Bay at 6
p.m.

Commission (PRRC) and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and
other local agencies also joined the fluvial procession.
Choppers
Centcom spokesperson Lieutenant Cristopher Tampus said they deployed two to
provide an aerial view and an additional security at the mass site.
As early as 5 a.m., about 1,500 police officers and 1,000 military officers were
deployed to the Rizal Park.
The preparations for the annual national celebration began in October this year after
Pope Francis approved the miracle that was credited of the Religious Group to the
intercessions of Pope John Paul 2. It was the last step for the Pope to be canonized a
saint.
The canonization rites of Calungsod and six other blessed persons were held at St.
Peter's Square in Rome last October 21, 2012 and the Pope John the Twenty-Third
and Pope John Paul the Second on April 27, 2014.

7:45 P.M.
During the mass on Friday, church officials were assisted by about 15,000 lay people,
religious priests, nuns and brothers.
The program at the grandstand started with a prayer and singing of Our Father at 2
p.m.
Procession
642

After the prayer, 76 carrozas from different parishes in Cebu Province and 70 carrozas
from different parishes in Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Northern
Luzon, Central Luzon, Southern Tagalog, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Central
Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Southern Mindanao,
SoCSarGen, Central Mindanao and Western Mindanao started to arrive. The carrozas
joined solemn processions that started at two points: the fish port in Navotas Fishport
Complex, Navotas, Metro Manila and North Port Passenger Terminal.
Even the Pope was late for Sunday Mass: a fretful 1 hour and 41 minutes at 6:30-8:11
P.M.
His schedule called for a 15-minute, two-mile drive from the Apostolic Nunciature to
the altar, but he was trapped for more than an hour in the nunciature, where he spent
the night Saturday, October 25. Police finally decided to fly him in a helicopter over
the vast crowd.
This is the biggest crowd I have ever seen in my life; bigger than the ones in Poland
when the Pope John Paul the Second went back for the first time in June 6, 1979 and
in the Philippines on January 14 to 15, 1995 for the Tenth World Youth Day, said
Vatican TV commentator John L. Allen, Jr.
Festive Filipinos so far from the Mass site that they would have no chance of seeing
the Pope lined the street 50 deep.
Flags of dozens of 226 countries of the world, including the Stars and Stripes, 80
provinces of the Philippines and 51 states of the United States, waved under gray
skies in the humid air to salute the pontiff, who sat on a red velvet throne in the same
park Saturday night to hear the ideas and concerns of young pilgrims.

Previously, the late Pope John Paul IIs biggest crowd was the 2 million people who
turned out on June 6, 1979 at his hometown of Krakow, Poland for his first visit to the
late pope's Polish homeland after his elevation to the Papacy on October 16, 1978.
The Mass was the climax of the Roman Catholic Churchs annual celebration of the

The concluding rites started over an hour late than slated as the gathering, estimated
to number more than five million, prevented the Pope from traveling short distance
from the Papal Nunciature to the park grounds in his popemobile.
Instead, the Pope was brought to the Quirino Grandstand by helicopter.
The entrance hymn had to be sung before the mass began in earnest. Priest in charge
of the event enjoined the crowd to sing, to pray and even to do a love wave to help
while away the time and to stretch aching muscles.
So thick was the crowd that evens the base of the Rizal monument, normally offlimits to the public, became a dais on which the people stood shoulder-to-shoulder.
Neither the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila nor the Vatican had prepared for
such an eventually. There, was some discussion on whether the pontiff should take a
helicopter or a boat through Manila Bay to the Luneta when the sheer size of the
crowd exceeded all expectations.
648
The mass of people stretched from north to south from the Manila Hotel all way down
to the Ramon Magsaysay Building on Roxas Boulevard. No blacktop was visible
from as far as huge portions of T.M. Kalaw, U.N. Avenue and Padre Faura, three
major streets perpendicular to the main road fronting the venue of the Jesus is Lord
Church Anniversary event.
Scores of government officials, foreign dignitaries, sports icons, entertainment
celebrities and high society personalities attended the 3-day annual Jesus is Lord

Pope Francis: Tayo poy manalangin. And let us now include our personal
thanksgiving, personal requests and intentions. Almighty ever-living God, increase
our faith, hope and charity, and make us love what you command, so that we may
merit what you promise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
The Liturgy of the Word began with the first reading from the book of Exodus chapter
22, verses 20 to 26 led by Bro. James Laoyen.
The psalmist sings the Responsorial Psalm to be sung by Dominic Velasquez, at least
as far as the peoples response is I love you, Lord, my strength, taken from Psalm
chapter 18 verses 2-3, 3-4, 47, 51, while the whole congregation sits and listens,
normally taking part by means of the response, except when the Psalm is sung straight
through, that is, without a response.
The second reading was read by Sis. Noemi Romano in English, taken from the first
letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, 1:5-10. The reader ended by saying, The
Word of the Lord. Congregants replied in chant, Thanks be to God.
Congregants stood for the proclamation of the Gospel, heralded by the choir singing
of Alleluia in Pilipino.
754
Sister Faith Abano: Please all rise to give and honor to the Holy Gospel.
Choir: Aleluya! Aleluya! Ikaw, Panginoon, ang Siyang daan ang Buhay at ang
Katotohanan, Aleluya!
Sister Faith Abano: Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love
him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
Choir: Aleluya! Aleluya! Ikaw, Panginoon, ang Siyang daan ang Buhay at ang
Katotohanan, Aleluya!
After being blessed by the Pope, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle,
processed with the Book of the Gospels to the ambo or lectern. He began by saying,
The Lord be with you, Sister Faith Abano replied And with your spirit.
The Cardinal-Archbishop of Manila saying before the gospel verse: The
Proclamation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Congregants replied, "Glory
to you, O Lord."
Tagle then incensed the Book of the Gospel and then says the reading in English. The
reading came from Matthew chapter 22, verse 34 to 40, stating, When the Pharisees
heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them,
a scholar of the law tested him by asking, Teacher, which commandment in the law
is the greatest? He said to him, You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first
commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The
whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.
The Archbishop raised the Book of the Gospel and says Sisters and Brothers, the
Gospel of the Lord.
Congregants and Sister Abano replied in chant, Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis, the Bishop of Rome, Sovereign of Vatican City and the leader of the
worldwide Roman Catholic Church, delivered the homily.
In his 1 hour 30 minute homily during the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
Anniversary Celebration Holy Mass; Pope Francis the First of Argentina praised Jesus

Lord may seal and strengthen your love in the presence of the Churchs minister and
this community. Christ abundantly blesses this love. He has already consecrated you

according to the law of Christ and his Church?

and declare your consent before God and his Church.
Bridegroom: I, ___, take you, ___, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good
times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days
of my life.
Bride: I, ___, take you, ___, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good
times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days

His goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God
has joined, men must not divide.

Angelus Message
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning,
Todays Gospel Reading reminds us that the whole of Divine Law can be summed up
in our love for God and neighbour. Matthew the Evangelist recounts that several
Pharisees colluded to put Jesus to the test (cf. 22: 34-35). One of them, a doctor of the
law, asked him this question: Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the
law? (v. 36). Jesus, quoting the Book of Deuteronomy, answered: You shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and first commandment (vv. 37-38). And he could have stopped
there. Yet, Jesus adds something that was not asked by the doctor of the law. He says,
in fact: And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself (v. 39).
And in this case too, Jesus does not invent the second commandment, but takes it
from the Book of Leviticus. The novelty is in his placing these two commandments
together love for God and love for neighbour revealing that they are in fact
inseparable and complementary, two sides of the same coin. You cannot love God
without loving your neighbour and you cannot love your neighbour without loving
God. Pope Benedict gave us a beautiful commentary on this topic in his first
Encyclical Deus Caritas Est (nn. 16-18).
In effect, the visible sign a Christian can show in order to witness to his love for God
to the world and to others, to his family, is the love he bears for his brothers. The
Commandment to love God and neighbour is the first, not because it is at the top of
the list of Commandments. Jesus does not place it at the pinnacle but at the centre,
because it is from the heart that everything must go out and to which everything must
return and refer.
In the Old Testament, the requirement to be holy, in the image of God who is holy,
included the duty to care for the most vulnerable people, such as the stranger, the
orphan and the widow (cf. Ex 22:20-26). Jesus brings this Covenant law to fulfilment;
He who unites in himself, in his flesh, divinity and humanity, a single mystery of
love.
Now, in the light of this Word of Jesus, love is the measure of faith, and faith is the
soul of love. We can no longer separate a religious life, a pious life, from service to
brothers and sisters, to the real brothers and sisters that we encounter. We can no
longer divide prayer, the encounter with God in the Sacraments, from listening to the
other, closeness to his life, especially to his wounds. Remember this: love is the
769

measure of faith. How much do you love? Each one answer silently. How is your
faith? My faith is as I love. And faith is the soul of love.
In the middle of the dense forest of rules and regulations to the legalisms of past
and present Jesus makes an opening through which one can catch a glimpse of two
faces: the face of the Father and the face of the brother. He does not give us two
formulas or two precepts: there are no precepts nor formulas. He gives us two faces,
actually only one real face, that of God reflected in many faces, because in the face of
each brother, especially of the smallest, the most fragile, the defenseless and needy,
there is Gods own image. And we must ask ourselves: when we meet one of these
brothers, are we able to recognize the face of God in him? Are we able to do this?
In this way, Jesus offers to all the fundamental criteria on which to base ones life.
But, above all, He gave us the Holy Spirit, who allows us to love God and neighbour
as He does, with a free and generous heart. With the intercession of Mary, our
Mother, let us open ourselves to welcome this gift of love, to walk forever with this
two-fold law, which really has only one facet: the law of love.
Let us now pray together
After the Angelus:
Dear brothers and sisters, yesterday in Brazil Mother Assunta Marchetti, who was
born in Italy and was the co-founder of the Missionary Sisters of St Charles
Borromeo, the Scalabrinians, was beatified. She was an exemplary sister, serving
the orphans of Italian immigrants; she saw Jesus in the poor, the orphaned, the sick
and migrants. Let us give thanks to the Lord for this woman, the model of a tireless
missionary spirit and courageous dedication to the service of charity. This is a
reminder and most of all a confirmation of what we said before, concerning the search
for the face of God in our brothers and sisters in the most in need.
I also greet all the Schoenstatt pilgrims: from here I can see their icon of the Mother.
I thank and greet everyone with affection. Please, pray for me, do not forget. I wish
you a happy Sunday and a good lunch. Goodbye! Arrivederci!
The mass ended peacefully with the Pope delivered his farewell messages to the
people in Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, German, Korean, Vietnamese, Standard
Mandarin, Hong Kong Cantonese, Malay, Indonesian, Japanese, Filipino, Ilokano,
Ibanag, Ibaloi, Pangasenese, Kapangpangan, Central Bikolano, Waray-Waray,

untoward incident happened, thanks to the tight security implemented by the
organizing committee and law enforcement bodies.
Final Blessing and Dismissal
Pope Francis: The Lord be with you.
Pope Francis: Bow down for the blessing: The hearts of your faithful submitted to
your name, entreat your help, O Lord, and since without you they can do nothing that
is just, grant by your abundant mercy that they may both know what is right and
receive all that they need for their good. Through Christ our Lord.
Pope Francis: And may the blessings of almighty God, + the Father, and the Son, and
the Holy Spirit, come down upon you and remain with you forever.

El Shaddai love Tagle
Bishop Teodoro C. Bacani, the overall spiritual adviser of El Shaddai DWXI Prayer
Partners Foundation International, Inc. and bishop-emeritus of diocese of Novaliches,
spoke briefly to the crowd on how their charismatic renewal religious movements and
the Catholic hierarchy could differ on certain issues but remain united on basic
Catholic tenets.
771

We may agree on our politics, but we are united in faith, Bacani said in Pilipino in
his message just before midnight.
He then quoted a Catholic saint who said: If there is doubt, let there be differences.
Bacani, who had earlier joined the Makati anti-Charter change and anti-pork barrel
rally, told the crowd that Cardinal Tagle had asked him to relay his belated Happy
Birthday greetings to Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, international
president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva, who celebrated his
birthday on October 6.

The celebration ended with a cultural dance presentation show, followed by a youth
concert and a 45-minute fireworks display.
This will be participated in by Pasigarbo sa Sugbo contingents from Minglanilla,
At 12:45 A.M., Monday, October 27, a 45-minute fireworks display from four barges
in Manila Bay 250 meters off the shore, between the Manila Yacht Club and the
United States Embassy set up by pyrotechnic experts from Bocaue, Bulacan for P120,
772

000 lit the night sky and lasted a half-hour and was met with a roar of applause by
people at the parade grounds.
The breathtaking fireworks also featured small chrysanthemum designs that slowly
burst and transformed into a giant chrysanthemum of various colors.
People froze in their tracks and the world seemed to stand still when the first blast of
fireworks was set off.
Shapes and designs in various colors painted the night sky.
People who booked rooms in hotels on Roxas Boulevard had the best view of the sky
show. People on the ground had to crane their necks as trees lining the boulevard
partly blocked their views.
A total of 700 effects were displayed, including designs of indigenous flowers, circles
and heart-shaped stars.
It was learned that the whole production cost P17 million, way above the budget of P5
million provided by the Philippine National Centennial Commission for the project.
Teary-eyed creator
The display was seen as far as five kilometers away and was visible from the historic
Corregidor Island where Allied Forces made their last stand against the invading
Japanese Imperial Army during World War II.
Ricardo Crisostomo, president of Hannah Corporation, one of the two companies
which created the pyrotechnics display, was almost in tears as he directed the firing of
shots from a remote control center at the Quirino Grandstand grounds.
The presentation, dubbed as Kulay at Kinang ng Kalayaan, took a year to prepare,
just in time for the pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines on
October 23 to 27, 2014, and cost almost P17 million.
Crisostomo and a crew of 18 Filipinos and 20 foreigners had spent six days at the
Manila Harbor Center, owned by R2 Builders, to set up the shells on the barges.
17,000 shells
As millions of revelers watched the celebration that snaked through Roxas Boulevard,
the four barges of Metropolitan Shipping silently sailed into the Manila Yacht Club
before 5 p.m.
The barges resembled small missile platforms, with black PVC pipes from Liberty
Pipes containing pyrotechnic shells standing erect on wooden supports and sand bags.
A total of 17,000 shells were fired. The 12-inch diameter shells shot up as high as
1,400 feet in the air and spread as wide as 1,300 feet.
773

In an interview hours before they sailed from the Manila Harbor Center to the launch
site some six kilometers away, Crisostomo sounded confident that nothing, not even a
rain shower, would spoil the show.
This happens only every year, said Crisostomo, 60, who personally oversaw the
completion of the production.
Biodegradable items
They had three public test runs, albeit on a smaller scale, before the last nights show.
The fireworks were set off by electrical switches, and any misfiring or manmade
accident would automatically cut off the current and stop the show.
Crisostomo said the fireworks used biodegradable materials such as kraft paper, resin
and potassium nitrate, more commonly known as salitre.
Crisostomos Hannah Corporation had collaborated with US-based Global Pyro
Networks in creating the masterpiece. Experts were also hired from two established
pyrotechnics firms abroad, Nico of Germany and Glorious Company of China.
Hannah was one of the firms which produced the fireworks display during the
opening night of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics on July 1996 as well as the July 1, 1997
Hong Kong handover and the June 12, 1998 Philippine Centennial Celebrations.
Among the government agencies that took part in the fireworks display were the
Department of National Defense, Navy, Department of Interior and Local
Government, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Department of
Health, Bureau of Customs, Department of Transportation and Communications, Air
Transportation Office, Manila City Hall and Metropolitan Manila Development
Authority.
Fireworks will also follow the Presidents Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary
celebration speech.
Manila officials said the successful celebration of the 3-day annual founding
anniversary thanksgiving celebration of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian
and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide and annual birthday party of television evangelist and founder, president
and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva proved that Manila is capable
of hosting big events.
It served as a preview of how the City can handle huge celebrations, said National
Parks Development Committee Executive Director Elizabeth Espino.
Manila City Mayor Joseph Estrada thanked everyone who helped in the preparations
for months and those who participated in the annual event.
The El Shaddai members were expected to be kept awake until an 8 a.m. breakfast
Monday, October 27, staying up to listen to the evangelical talks, religious
774
testimonies and gospel hymns which are common fare at their weekly Family
Appointment.
The documentary about the "Big Four Religious Groups" aired at 1:30 a.m. Features
the photos and videos of Iglesia ni Cristo gatherings from 1914 to 2014, Jesus Miracle
Crusade International Ministry gatherings from 1975 to 2014, Jesus is Lord
Church events and gatherings from 1978 to 2013, photos and video clips of El
Shaddai gatherings from 1984 to 2014.
After the Holy Mass, Cultural Dance Presentation Show and 30-minute fireworks
display, the prayer-partners began their fellowship at about 2:15 a.m with joyful
praise and worship songs.
During the lighting of thousands of candles, a magnificent glow filtered through the
darkness of the night filling the 58-hectare Rizal Park and adjacent areas-Roxas
Boulevard to north and southbound areas of Taft Avenue, T.M. Kalaw Street and
United Nations Avenue into Ermita, extending up to Maria Orosa Street, Padre
After the candlelight ceremony led by was held followed by the delivery of the
healing message of El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Fellowship Foundation
International, Inc. Roman Catholic Charismatic Religious Renewal Movement
founder and servant-leader Bro. Mike Z. Velarde, he enjoined everyone to continually
pray.
3-hour speech
775
In Luneta, El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Fellowship Foundation International,

Inc. Catholic Charismatic Renewal Religious Movement founder and servant-leader
Bro. Mike Z. Velarde delivered a three-hour worship and healing prayer rally
message at 4 a.m., to the El Shaddai DWXI-PPFI-CCRRM and Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide members still gathered for the weekly Family Appointment with El
Shaddai was held in thanksgiving for the peaceful and successful grand annual
founding anniversary celebration and prayer assembly of Evangelical Protestant BornAgain Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus
is Lord Church Worldwide at Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park before Monday
Morning, October 27.
In his healing prayer rally message, he expounded that to attain a lasting unity in our
civil society; every Filipino should reconcile to God and to one another, love one
another, and learn to accept one another.
He concluded his message with a healing and deliverance prayer which included five
particular intentions, as follows: that God forgive the sins of our nation; that He grant
us the freedom we seek in our land; that He grant us amnesia from the past and the
courage to look forward to our future with faith, love and unity; that He grant divine
wisdom and extra-ordinary courage to President Benigno S. Aquino III so he could
continue his vision of ASEAN Economic Community 2015 and Philippines 2016; and
that God grant to all of us the extraordinary power to remain firm in our faith.
So effective was President Benigno S. Aquino IIIs portrayal of himself as the
underdog and victim in the ongoing debate on Charter change, the Bangsamoro
Framework Agreement, the tension against China, the Development Acceleration
Program (DAP) and Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam of whistleblower Janet Lim-Napoles, P6.6 billion housing scam of Delfin Lee's Globe Asiatique
(GA), P728 million fertilizer fund scam, the construction of major infrastructure
776

projects, the crime rate in Metro Manila including robbery holdups, the passage of the
Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, the alleged suppression of the press, the
resurgence of the Marcos family, the carjacking cases and high-profile killings and
incidents, in Metro Manila, the massacre in Atimonan, Quezon; his order to stop
support to the Officers Ladies Club; the plunder charges filed against Philippine
National Police Director General Alan L.M. Purisima before the Office of the
Ombudsman in connection with the alleged anomalous deal the PNP entered into with
a courier service; disappointment among legitimate firearms holders over the stricter
issuance of permit to carry firearms outside residence and license to own and possess
firearms; the P316-million funds from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office,
extend the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) by five years, the
transfer of assignment of Task Force Tugis chief Senior Superintendent Conrado
Capa after the arrest of Globe Asiatique president Delfin Lee; and the spate of killings
nationwide such as extrajudictorial and high-profile killings such as the killing of
champion race car driver Enzo Pastor in Quezon City, Metro Manila and Crown
Regency Hotel owner Richard King in Davao City, Davao del Sur last June 12,
the gang rape and killing of 26-year-old Anria Galang Espiritu in Calumpit, Bulacan
last August 18, 7-year-old Myla Rosales in Barangay 845, Zone 92, Pandacan,
Manila last September 6 and 26-year-old Filipino Transgender Jeffrey Laude also
known as Jennifer inside a motel in Olongapo City, Zambales that Velarde and
Villanueva said he consoled him after Mr. Aquino's speech on Saturday, October 25
and Sunday, October 26.
I told the President, don't be provoked by those who try to provoke you, Velarde,
speaking in Pilipino, told the crowd which had grown during the night, spilling over
the 58-hectare Rizal Park from Roxas Boulevard to north and southbound areas of
Taft Avenue, T.M. Kalaw Street and United Nations Avenue into Ermita, extending
up to Maria Orosa Street, Padre Burgos Drive, Port Area district, Jones, Ayala,
McArthur and Quezon Bridges to Plaza Miranda in Quiapo.
In the early morning of Monday, October 27, thousands of doves for peace and
prosperity were released by the attendees.
The gathering ended with a Joyful Breakfast Salo-Salo at 7:00 a.m. and lasted until
8:30 a.m., Monday, October 27.
The project allotted for the 200-man choir and 120-piece symphony orchestra at the
Quirino Grandstand is PHP 5,424,009.59, as well for the stage design.
El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Fellowship Foundation International, Inc. Roman
Catholic Charismatic Renewal Religious Movement founder and servant-leader Bro.
Mike Z. Velarde, Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide founder, international president
and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva and Philippine President
Benigno S. Aquino III were having dinner in the VIP Lounge at the Quirino
Grandstand on Sunday, October 26 when the two charismatic leaders advised
tolerance. El Shaddai founder and servant-leader Bro. Mike Z. Velarde and Jesus is
Lord Church Worldwide founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie
C. Villanueva is the Presidents spiritual adviser since 2010.

Velarde and Villanueva enjoined his followers: Let us pray for those that oppress
us, referring both to the President's critics and those who have questioned the Jesus is
Lord Church Worldwide's timing of its October grand annual anniversary celebration
and prayer assembly to coincide with the Makati rally over the Development
scam.
Villanuevas birthday coincides with Jesus is Lord Church Worldwides founding
anniversary celebration and grand prayer assembly. It has traditionally been held on
the Second or Third Saturday nearest October since 1979. He was born on October 6,
1932 in Bocaue, Bulacan to Joaquin T. Villanueva and Maria Cruz-Villanueva, both
now deceased.
Pastor Almeda, Pastor Quiboloy, Bro. Velarde, Bro. Villanueva, Bro. Bo Sanchez,
Bro. Eli C. Soriano and Iglesia ni Cristo executive director Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo
have expressed support for Charter Change is limited to the economic provisions.
But Velarde, Soriano, Villanueva, Sanchez, Almeda was not about to clash head on
with the Roman Catholic Church, specifically Cardinal Tagle, on the issue of Charter
change, the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement, pork barrel scam, the illegal rice
smuggling, the construction of major infrastructure projects and extrajudictorial and
high-profile killings such as the murder of champion race car driver Enzo Pastor in
Quezon City, Metro Manila and Crown Regency Hotel owner Richard King in Davao
City, Davao del Sur last June 12, the gang rape and killing of 26-year-old Anria
Galang Espiritu in Calumpit, Bulacan last August 18 and 7-year-old Myla Rosales
in Barangay 845, Zone 92, Pandacan, Manila last September 6. Instead, they asked El
Shaddai, Iglesia ni Cristo, Light of Jesus, Members of Church of God International
and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide members to pray for the successful the pastoral
and state visit of Pope Francis in the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Fiji,
New Zealand, Australia and Sri Lanka from October 23 to November 15, So he may
become stronger.
He told his followers: There is a time for anger and there is a time for love.
But the INQUIRER learned that apart from its weekly scheduled gathering every
Saturday and Sunday, El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International
wrote the National Parks Development Committee to reserve on July 26, or five days
after announced the pro-democracy rally in Makati.
About the The World Youth Day 1995 Papal Altar
778
Inspired by the bamboo arches seen in Philippine fiestas, the Quirino Grandstand was
dressed up to evoke this festive feeling and give Pope Francis a reception that
embodies the Filipinos fondness for His Holiness. A fabric canopy with Tagalog
Stencil patterns marks the main portion of the dais where the Pope celebrated mass.
All furniture was done in rattan to maintain the indigenous feel of the altar designs.
The World Youth Day Papal Altar is designed by Francisco Manoza.
LED Architectural Lighting
Luminance Lighting Solutions, in cooperation with Pro AVM Solutions, provided the
LED architectural lighting design and LED luminaires for the Saint Pedro Calungsod
templete. The lighting scheme took months in the making, where Luminance Lighting
Solutions worked closely with the event organizers from the Archdiocese of Manila.
During the event, the mass itself extended well into the evening and the beautiful
architectural lighting scheme not only provided illumination to the templete
throughout the entire Eucharistic celebration, but also served as a colorful tribute to
Saint Pedro Calungsod, the Philippines second saint, and the first from the Visayas.
We are proud to be a part of this nationwide event, said Victor Caindec, COO of
Luminance Lighting Solutions. This is our tribute to the martyrdom of Saint Pedro
Calungsod.

JIL people, determined to pursue peace and holiness
By Gary Magpantay
Congregations from different local and international chapters of the Jesus is Lord
(JIL) Church gathered once again as they celebrated another year of Gods glory and
faithfulness. They travelled unrelentingly to be part of this years celebration and hear
new revelations from the Lord during the event. As one JIL family, they heralded
their rekindled passion to pursue living a holy life.
793
Bro. Eddie delivered a resounding message that emphasized the last days call for
sanctification, consecration and holiness. Let us desire to have a sanctified life, for
without holiness, no one can see God, said Bro. Eddie as he quoted Hebrews 12:14.
JIL members were overwhelmed as they testified.

Kailangan nating lumakad at maipahayag sa mga tao ang kaligtasan para maranasan
din nila yung holiness, said Sis. Nida Ortega of JIL Cubao. This was her personal
commitment after hearing Bro. Eddies anniversary message. She also acknowledged
Gods power moving through the life of Bro. Eddie: ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos ay
kumikilos sa kanya.
Bro. Brian Licuanan of JIL Bunlo (Bulacan) also shared his realization during the
anniversary. Unang-una po, kailangan po nating isapuso yung katuruan ng DIyos na
binigay Niya po sa atin sa pamamagitan po ng paggamit Niya kay Bro. Eddie
Villanueva... Hindi lang po dapat natin sinasambit sa ating pag-awit, pagsayaw, ito
poy dapat nangagaling sa puso.
Peace will surely live in our lives when we have our hope in Jesus. This is Sis.
Priscilla Cruzs testimony. The brethren from JIL Sta. Ana, Bulacan said, Manatili
794

tayo sa Panginoon. Lahat ng problema natin sa buhay, lahat ng pag-aalala, ibigay
natin sa Panginoon, at Siya na ang bahala.
As he appreciated Gods favor, Bro. Juanito De Guzman of JIL Montalban testified of
his personal experience as he surrendered his life to God. Ako e, ang buhay ko ay
pinagpala ng Panginoon dahil sa katapatan ko sa Kanya. Ang mga anak ko eh,
nakatapos silang lahat ng kolehiyo, na dati walang wala kami. Noong nakita ko ang
kabutihan ng Diyos sa buhay namin, nagkaroon kami ng kapayapaan sa loob ng
tahanan. Si Jesus ang naging sentro ng aming buhay.
He further expressed his joy to be physically present in this years celebration.Ako
poy tuwang-tuwa... kahit anong oras matapos ito, tatapusin namin dahil alam naming
nandito ang Panginoon. Hindi iyon mababayaran ng kahit anong bagay, ang mga
pagkakataong ganito, minsan lang sa isang taon ito.
Join us in becoming ambassadors of peace and holiness in our society. With Jesus as
the Lord of our lives, our churchs declaration for this year will surely be a reality.
Who went where:

Politics make strange
bedfellows
(By Cathy C. Yamsuan and Leah Gatdula)
Manila, Philippines, October 27, 2014 (INQUIRER) - JEJOMAR Binay, who was
made by the Edsa People Power Revolt, was not in the Ayala rally of his political
patron, Cory Aquino. Now the Vice-President of the Republic of the Philippines after
three terms as Makati mayor: first from June 30, 1989 to June 30, 1998 and from June
30, 2001 to June 30, 2010, Binay was on the other side of town with, well, the other
side.
Same thing with a former Coryista, Laguna Gov. Jose Joey Lina, who found
himself socializing with Marcos son-in-law Gregorio Greggy Araneta as they
lunched at the VIP lounge of the Quirino grandstand hosted by Brother Mariano
Mike Velarde, Founder and Servant-Leader of El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners
Foundation International and Bishop Brother Eduardo Eddie Villanueva, Founder,
International President and Spiritual Director of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide for
the five-day pastoral and state visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines.
Two seats to their left was Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, one of the leaders of the peaceful
February 1986 coup that toppled the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Enrile will soon join
the Presidents Liberal Party (Team PNoy).
Facing Enrile across the table were opposition Sen. Loren Legarda and husband,
former Batangas Gov. Antonio Tony Leviste of Lakas-KaMPi-CMD.
Her mother's daughter
But Presidents sister Kris Aquino stuck to her mother from whom she had been
estranged because of her liaison with actor Phillip Salvador.
795

Ill take her anytime over Jinggoy, said a newspaper editor.
The only big-name star in the rally, Kris emceed the Makati prayer rally led by
Former President Fidel V. Ramos and Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal G.
Tagle.
Kahit wala hong lechon dito at kahit ako lang ang artista dito, masaya ako dahil
nandito tayong lahat (Even without roasted pig and movie stars), Kris told an
enthusiastic crowd at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas.
Most show biz stars were in Luneta to support their former colleague, Former
president and now Manila City mayor Joseph Estrada and incumbent president
Benigno Aquino III.
But Kris could count on colleagues like singer-comedienne Cynthia Patag who sang
Magkaisa and ''Bayan Ko,'' folk singer Coritha who did her original hit, Oras Na,
and Edsa veterans Jim Paredes, Leah Navarro, Mitch Valdez, and Maan Hontiveros.
Old magic
Kris tried to work the old magic she cast when campaigning for her mother during the
snap elections in 1986.
When some ralliers raised a placard which said: El Shaddai injects Cha-cha, Kris
remarked: Hindi po pala lahat ng El Shaddai nasa Luneta (Not all El Shaddai are at
the Luneta).
When the media delegation, including the INQUIRER'S founding chair Eugenia
Duran Apostol, was called onstage, the sound system conked out. But Kris quickly
salvaged the moment.
Not media suppression
Hindi po media suppression ito, this is just a technical problem, she said.
Kris showed humor when she introduced the Spice Boys of Congress.
Ang suwerte-suwerte ho ni Vina Morales dahil magandang lalake ho ang boyfriend
niya, she said of Bukidnon Rep. Miguel Zubiri. (How lucky actress Vina Morales,
her boyfriend is good-looking.)
Naka-soiree ko ho ito noong high school, pero hindi niya ako niligawan (I had a
soiree with him but he did not court me), she said of Agusan del Sur Rep. Ace
Barbers.
I give her an A for dedication and courage, said a university professor.
She showed she has genuine concern, commented another Makati employee.
Kris set aside whatever personal differences she had with her brother, Philippine
President Noynoy Aquino, when she warmly introduced onstage. Noynoy frowned on
Kris' relationship with Salvador.
Kris' appearance also dimmed any chances of reconciliation with Salvador, her former
live-in partner with whom she has a 18-year-old love child, Joshua.
Salvador is an avowed supporter of former President Joseph Estrada.
Not political
796

At the Luneta, no one offered political reasons for feasting with Velarde and
Villanueva. They all claimed being invited by the founder, international president and
spiritual director of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide, Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva
just to celebrate his 81st birthday and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide celebrated its
36th founding anniversary.
This doesn't mean I am pro-(Charter change), Legarda immediately explained when
asked about her presence at the Luneta. ''Brother Mike Velarde, Founder and ServantLeader of El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International and I have been
friends since I was still with (The Inside Story),'' she added.
Enrile was more straightforward. I came here to enjoy the lechon, pancit and the
soup. Besides, you have always known my position on Charter change. I have always
pointed out the flaws of the Constitution and even campaigned against its ratification
in 1987.
Enrile said he did not feel awkward sitting near Araneta, given the senator's key role
in the Marcoses' ouster. I can sit with anybody because I consider myself a social
being,'' he said.
Metrobank president Tony Abacan was seated next to Velarde and Villanueva.

Loyalists
Predictably, thousands of Marcos loyalists joined the El Shaddai rally just in
time for the visit of Pope Francis to raise their prayer requests to Yahweh El
Shaddai, who, they said, is the only hope of Maam Imelda (Marcos).
Some 2,000 members of Marcos Loyalists Foundation based in the National
Capital Region came in several jeeps to pray for justice for the Marcoses,
who have suffered a lot since Ferdinand (Marcos) was ousted from power.
We can do nothing without prayer. We believe that Yahweh will guide
Ma'am Imelda in all the trials she is facing, said Juliet Mendoza, a
coordinator of the Marcos Loyalist Foundation in the NCR. The former first lady
has nearly a hundred cases of graft pending in the Sandiganbayan.
Mendoza, who claimed that almost all members of their group are also
members of El Shaddai, added that the wife of former President Ferdinand
Marcos will be used by Yahweh to answer the needs of the Filipino
people. With a report from Blanche Rivera and Maria Ceres P. Doyo
Dj vu: Cory magic is alive
IT was a highly charged moment in time made more dramatic by leaden skies and
intermittent rains.
Dj vu ran rampant, with yellow confetti, interspersed with white and red, swirling
down from the windows of high-rise buildings.
852

But for the names mentioned in the speeches and splashed on the placards and
streamers, the pro-democracy rally yesterday on Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas
seemed like a mass action against the Marcos dictatorship.
Makati's high and mighty and Manila's well-heeled mingled with the urban poor.
Priests serving as marshals, nuns, office workers, students, housewives and their
children, politicians, activists, farmers, journalists, human rights lawyers, the disabled
from the Tahanang Walang Hagdan, even a delegation from El Shaddai which broke
from the gathering at Rizal Park--they were all there.
They held their ground even when the rains poured, opening and huddling under
available umbrellas, and then, when the rains stopped, putting these away.
Thirteen years after the toppling of the dictatorship, the Cory magic was resurgent.
The color yellow--on T-shirts, caps, umbrellas, arm- and headbands, banners and
streamers--dominated the scene.
When, at 12:10 p.m., former President Fidel V. Ramos emerged from the corner of
Herrera Street to march toward the makeshift stage, rally participants and Makati
employees looking out of their office windows erupted into cheers: Ramos!
Ramos!'
Ramos, 66, acknowledged the cheers by flashing her trademark ''L'' sign, which stood
for the opposition party Laban that the late president Corazon Aquino ran against the
strongman Ferdinand Marcos' monolithic Kilusang Bagong Lipunan in the 1985 snap
election.
Militants
But the color red was not outdone, with the activists and leaders of the progressive
movement during the Marcos era linking arms as they led more than 25,000 members
of militant groups down Ayala.
They were labor leaders Crispin Beltran and Rafael Mariano, National Democratic
Front consultant Satur Ocampo, human rights lawyer Romeo Capulong and former
communist leader Rafael Baylosis--all staunch critics of the Marcos dictatorship.
With other progressive group leaders like Dr. Reynaldo Lesaca, Popoy Flores, Ed
Villegas and Ferdinand Gaite, they formed a human chain as they led the
multisectoral coalition People Against Rising Tyranny (People Resist).
Mariano, chair of the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) and the Kilusang
Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, said his fellow leaders had again mustered thousands to
oppose the Marcosian rule of President Benigno Aquino III.
The militant Kilusan Para sa Pambansang Demokrasya, convenor of the Multisectoral
Reject Charter Change Movement (Reject), and the groups under Sanlakas also
brought in thousands of protesters.
Protestant bishops and clergy headed by Bishop Roman Tiples and the Philippine
Independent Church marched alongside People Resist.
Other marchers were just as prominent--and just as rain-drenched.
Dressed in Just Say No shirts, Sen. Teofisto Guingona III and 14 of the members of
Congtra or Congressmen Kontra sa Charter Change--Representatives Feliciano
Belmonte, Rolando Andaya Jr., Michael Defensor, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Prospero
Pichay, J. Mayo Almario, Loretta Ann Rosales, Nereus Acosta, Wigberto Taada,
Robert Ace Barbers, Federico Sandoval II, Pantaleon Alvarez, Heherson Alvarez and
Oscar Moreno--made their way to the rally site arm-in-arm.
They drew cheers from the other rally participants as well as Makati employees
perched on windows and ledges.
853

Other lawmakers who made it to the rally just as the program was starting were
Representatives Joker Arroyo, Ariel Zartiga, Enrico Echiverri, Diogenes Osabel and
Apolinario Lozada.
While the other buildings along Ayala continued to disgorge yellow and white
confetti over the crowd, the windows of the Cocolife building, owned by businessman
Eduardo ''Danding'' Cojuangco, remained shut.
The brass signage of the Bank of the Philippine Islands was frosted with the white and
yellow confetti that had filtered from the building.
Droves
Up to about 11 a.m., people were coming only in trickles, said accountant Tess
Pelejo.
But just when the rains came, the people came in droves from all corners of the
Ayala-Paseo intersection.
Ekis ang takbo ng Jeep ni Erap, said a banner from the National Peace Conference.
An elderly man waved a home-made placard which said: ''I am pro-change--the
President.''
Pedestrians found curious ways to get from one side of Ayala to the other.
As Kris Aquino was warming up the crowd from the stage, a woman with a bicycle
cut a path through amused ralliers by repeatedly saying, Padaanin lang po si (Please
make way for) Kris Aquino, padaanin lang po si Kris Aquino.
A coed, probably not even old enough to remember, wept when the crowd sang, along
with performer Cynthia Patag, the Edsa uprising's theme song, Magkaisa.
Nakakaiyak naman, she told no one in particular.
She was not the only one in tears.
I had to fight back my tears because it was so touching how such genuine concern
(for the country) could be shared by everybody, said Representative Sandoval.
Indeed, this is like Edsa all over again. I don't know how the President would choose
to ignore this, said Representative Andaya.
Buti na lang umulan, hindi nahalatang naiiyak ako (It was good it rained. Nobody
noticed I was crying), said a nun who recalled that she was also at Edsa 13 years
ago. Reports from Michael Lim Ubac, Dona Pazzibugan, Donna S. Cueto, Rocky

Popes Address to
Eleventh FABC Plenary
Following is the text of Pope Francis address to the Eleventh Plenary Assembly of
the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences meeting in Manila, October 21-30. The
pope addressed the assembly October 27.
Dear Brother Bishops,
1. In preparing for this meeting with the Pastors of the Church in Asia I have prayed
to be an apt instrument of the Holy Spirit who at all times and in every place gives life
to the Church and, according to Christs promise, leads her into all the truth (cf. Jn.
16:13). I have prayed to be able in the words of the Psalm to sing "his praise in the
assembly of the faithful" (Ps. 149 [148]:1). It is certainly with a song of praise and
854

thanksgiving to God in my heart that I join you in marking the happy occasion of
the Silver Jubilee of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences.
I have been deeply touched by Archbishop Rozarios warm words of welcome and I
also wish to thank the other Bishops for their thoughtful remarks on the vital
questions of proclamation, life and ecology, which form the subject of your
reflections during these days.
2. The Assemblies of your Federation of which this is the Sixth not only provide a
forum for exchanging pastoral experiences and discussing issues of common interest.
More significantly, they give expression to the profound ecclesial communion and
affective collegiality which unite the Bishops of South, Southeast and East Asia with
one another and with the See of Peter. Together with our brother Bishops throughout
the world we feed the one flock which Christ has redeemed with his precious blood
(cf. 1 Pt. 1:19). With one accord therefore, let us give thanks to God for the "bonds of
unity, charity and peace" which link us with each other under "the chief Shepherd"
(Ibid., 5.4), whose servants we are.
Our meeting is taking place against the background of the Tenth World Youth
Day which has just concluded. We are all witnesses of the generous response of the
young to the Churchs summons to take up the pilgrim Cross of Christ. In this case,
tribute must be given to the Filipino Bishops who gave close attention to the spiritual
preparation of the young people taking part. Yet, in a real sense it is these young
people, and others like them all over the world, who are calling the Church inviting
the Pastors of the Church to ever greater efforts to present Christ to them in the
fulness of his grace and truth. My words therefore are meant to be a fraternal
encouragement, exhorting you as Saint Paul exhorted Titus: that as he had already
made a beginning, he should also complete the gracious work of his ministry (cf. 2
Cor. 8:6). It is your ministry as Bishops, and the situation in which it is exercised, that
is the underlying theme of these thoughts which I share with you.
3. Since the establishment of your Federation 25 years ago, rapid technological
progress and economic growth have revolutionized the face of Asia. While affirming
the benefits of this development, the Church must nevertheless make a realistic
assessment of the price paid for this modernization and confront those aspects which
pose "an immense threat to life: not only to the life of individuals but also to that of
civilization itself" (John Paul II, Letter to Families, 21). Even more striking than
Asias recent material progress has been the transformation of the spiritual
landscape of the Continent. Religious indifferentism and exaggerated individualism
now threaten the traditional values which, generally speaking, bestowed meaning and
harmony on the life of individuals and on the communities they composed. The forces
of secularization tend to undermine your rich religious and cultural heritage. This
great Continent is at a spiritual crossroads.
Such a moment can only confirm the Churchs resolve to carry out her primary
mission: the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and the promotion of the values of Gods
Kingdom (cf. John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio, 34). And in cooperation with every
force for good, Catholics on this continent should feel the urgency of building up "the
civilization of love, founded on the universal values of peace, solidarity, justice and
liberty, which find their full attainment in Christ" (John Paul II,Tertio Millennio
Adveniente, 52).
4. Jesus Christ, the GodMan, Crucified and Risen, is the hope of humanity. He is the
foundation of our faith, the reason for our hope and the source of our love. The
Incarnate Word, the Savior and Mediator between God and man (cf. 1 Tim. 2:5), is
855

"the only one able to reveal God and lead to God" (John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio,
5). And Christ alone can fully reveal the ultimate grandeur and dignity of the human
person and his destiny (cf. Gaudium et Spes, 22). The mystery of Gods saving love
revealed in Jesus Christ is a doctrine of faith, not a theological opinion. And this Good
News impels the Church to evangelize! It impels Bishops to foster evangelization as a
primary task and responsibility of their ministry.
The magna charta of evangelization remains the Apostolic Exhortation "Evangelii
Nuntiandi" of Pope Paul VI, with the complement of the Encyclical "Redemptoris
Missio" which the late Pope wrote in 1990 in order to defend and promote the concept
of "missionary evangelization" (John Paul II,Redemptoris Missio, 2) or the mission ad
gentes, which seemed to have lost appeal and even validity in the eyes of some.
Paul VIs notion of evangelization faithfully restates Christs teaching, the Churchs
tradition, and the insights of the Second Vatican Council. It is a comprehensive notion
which avoids the pitfall of overemphasis on one or other aspect of this complex
reality, to the detriment of others. In Pope Pauls view, evangelization includes those
activities which dispose people to listen to the Christian message, the proclamation of
the message itself, and the catechesis which unfolds the riches of truth and
grace contained in the kerygma. Moreover, evangelization is directed not only to
individuals but also to cultures, which need to be regenerated by contact with the
Gospel. Human development and liberation are integral parts of this evangelizing
mission, but they are not identical with it, and they are not the end of evangelization.
Paul VI was clear about the fact that evangelization cannot be reduced to a merely
temporal project of human betterment. It must always include a clear and
unambiguous proclamation of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior who brings that
"abundant life" (Jn. 10:10) which is no less than eternal life in God.
5. Allow me to make some general remarks about evangelizing this continent. A first
requirement of this ecclesial task is the renewal of the Catholic community at every
level Bishops, priests, Religious and laity so that all may contribute to spreading
the faith in which we stand. Our prayer must be that the priests, Religious and laity in
your pastoral care will never lose heart in accomplishing the prophetic mission
entrusted to each one. "Every disciple is personally called by name; no disciple can
withhold making a response: Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel(1 Cor. 9:16)"
(John Paul II, Christifideles Laici, 33). Indeed, to repeat something I once said to the
Italian Bishops, the new evangelization "is not born of the will of those who decide to
become propagators of their faith. It is born of the Spirit, who moves the Church to
expand" (John Paul II,Address to the Bishops taking part in a Liturgical Course, 4 [12
Feb. 1988]). Everyone who has received the Spirit, every person who is baptized and
confirmed, is called to be an evangelizer.
Without forgetting other important components of this renewal, "the signs of the
times" urgently call for enabling the laity to assume their specific role in bringing the
truths and values of the Gospel to bear on the realities of the temporal sphere. In fact,
when we try to imagine the future of evangelization on this continent, do we not see it
as the irradiation of a vibrant, living faithpractised and declared by individual
Christians and Christian communities, big or small, which, with few exceptions, form
a pusillus grex in the midst of numerically superior "hearers" of the word?
To "irradiate" the faith implies the highest standards of Christian living a rich life of
prayer and sacramental practice, and moral integrity on the part of everyone. To
proclaim to others "eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 6:23) demands of each
member of the Church the holiness and integrity of one for whom "to live is Christ"
856

(Phil. 1:21). Proclamation becomes credible when it is accompanied by sanctity of
life, sincerity of purpose and respect for others and for the whole of creation. The
Encyclical "Redemptoris Missio" exhorts the Churchs members: "You must be like
the first Christians and radiate enthusiasm and courage, in generous devotion to God
and neighbour. In a word, you must set yourselves on the path of holiness. Only thus
can you... relive in your own countries the missionary epic of the early Church"
(John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio, 91).
Herein lies a great challenge which confronts each Bishop, as the principal teacher
and guide of the faithful in truth and holiness of life. But here too we have the source
of our certain hope and of our optimism. The Churchs future will not be solely the
result of our human efforts but, more fundamentally, the result of the workings of the
Divine Spirit, whom we must not impede but assist.
6. A further consideration is the cultural framework in which evangelization in Asia
has to be carried out. The religious traditions of very ancient cultures remain powerful
forces in the East, and present you with particular challenges. The Church esteems
these spiritual traditions as "living expressions of the soul of vast groups of people.
They carry within them the echo of thousands of years of searching for God, a quest
which is incomplete but often made with great sincerity and righteousness of heart"
(Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 53). While the Church rejects nothing of what is true
and holy in the great religions (Nostra Aetate, 2), she can only hope that one day this
preparation for the Gospel will come to maturity in ways which are fully Christian
and fully Asian. As Bishops of the Churches in Asia, part of your concern must be to
stimulate the growth of the seeds of truth and goodness found in those religions.
Under your pastoral supervision efforts are being made to increase understanding,
respect and cooperation between Christians and followers of other religious traditions,
and in many cases, in collaboration with the Pontifical Council for Interreligious
Dialogue, various forms of dialogue are now taking place and bearing
fruit. Interreligious dialogue should not remain only a matter of theological
discussion. Where possible, it must reach to the grassroots, correcting
misunderstandings which communities have of one another, and fostering solidarity in
the building of a more just and human society. This "dialogue of life" must go
forward with balance, sincerity and openness (cf. John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio,
57), always in the conviction that authentic dialogue is achieved only by "speaking
the truth in love" (Eph. 4:15).
7. Furthermore, as Bishops you have the demanding task of accepting Saint Pauls
invitation to become "all things to all men" (1 Cor. 9:22), identifying yourselves with
the life and traditions of your people so that the perennial truth of Revelation can be
expressed in ways that are meaningful and convincing. On you rests responsibility for
fostering with wisdom and fidelity the most suitable means for communicating the
Gospel to the various Asian cultures. The more you take into account the questions,
religious formation, language, signs and symbols of those whom you wish to lead to
Christ, the more effectively you will serve the cause of evangelization (cf. Paul
VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 63).
However arduous this task of authentic inculturation, we can take consolation from
the experience of the early Church. Although the preaching of Christ Crucified and
Risen ran counter to the religious culture of those to whom the Gospel was first
preached, the Holy Spirit guided the Churchs growth. Beginning at Pentecost and
continuing from generation to generation, the Spirit of Truth has ever accompanied
the Churchs proclamation, leading its hearers to the "obedience of faith" (Rom. 1:6)
857

which has then purified and elevated their way of life, imbuing customs and
behaviour with a Christian outlook and spirit.
8. Another recurring aspect of your pastoral activity is the relationship between
proclamation and human development. Briefly, let us acknowledge that no human
need, no human suffering can leave Christs disciples indifferent or insensitive. Yet,
the Church does not have and cannot claim to have a "technical" solution to all the ills
which afflict humanity. Rather the Church herself, like a pilgrim in a foreign land,
presses forward amid the difficulties and even persecutions of the world, strong only
in the consolations of God (cf. Lumen Gentium, 8). At the same time it is her duty
always to seek to make her voice heard in the conscience of individuals and the
consciousness of society, defending the dignity of every human person, created in the
image and likeness of God, and upholding the principles and values of faith, truth,
freedom, justice and solidarity. She knows that the terrible evils which affect
humanity have their source not only in mans injustice towards man but in mans
radical injustice in the sight of God. In fulfilling her evangelizing mission therefore,
the Church cannot neglect the needs of the poor, the hungry, the defenceless, the
oppressed and the culturally deprived. But those involved in that mission must know
that their responsibility goes far beyond healing the wounds of this life. They must
also communicate the "new life" which comes through the grace of Jesus Christ. The
Churchs mission and destiny is to save man, the whole man. At this level there is no
distinction of persons, neither Jew nor Greek (cf. Rom. 10:12), neither rich nor poor.
All are offered Gods word and the grace of redemption, because all are sinners
(cf. ibid., 5:12).
9. Dear Brother Bishops, if ever you feel discouraged by the seemingly impossible
task of a more effective evangelization perhaps due to the fact that some Asian
cultures seem disinclined to listen to the Gospel message I urge you to remember
that, when you proclaim "Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" (1 Cor.
1:24), "it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you"
(Mt. 10:20).
At the same time, you have to make it clear that the act of faith, and reception into the
communion of the Church through Baptism, must always be entirely free
(cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 160). Evangelization must never be
imposed. It involves love and respect for those being evangelized. While ever
insisting on the Churchs right and duty to proclaim with joy the Good News of Gods
mercy, Catholics must carefully avoid any suspicion of coercion or devious
persuasion (cf. Dignitatis Humanae, 4). On the other hand, accusations of proselytism
which is far from the Churchs genuine missionary spirit and a one-sided
understanding of religious pluralism and tolerance should not be allowed to stifle your
mission to the peoples of Asia.
10. Before I end, I wish to appeal to you to do all you can to foster what is generally
called the mission ad gentes. Despite the fact that some try to minimize this holy duty,
the Church cannot renounce her vocation to "make disciples of all nations" (Mt.
28:19).
She can never be content as a small minority or an inwardlooking community.
Indeed, the Church firmly believes that every person has "the right to know the riches
of the mystery of Christ riches in which we believe that the whole of humanity can
find, in unsuspected fulness, everything that it is gropingly searching for concerning
God, man and his destiny, life and death, and truth" (Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi,
53). As the dawn of the Third Millennium draws near, it is "particularly in Asia,
858
towards which the Churchs mission ad gentes ought to be chiefly directed" (John
Paul II,Redemptoris Missio, 37).
The mission ad gentes, which often implies the idea of setting out towards new lands
and new peoples, today implies above all setting out towards new areas of Asias
human geography: towards those sectors of society made up of the urban poor,
migrants and their often abandoned families, refugees, young people, and the modern
areopagus of the media of social communication.
I ask you to pay careful attention to missionary evangelization in all your pastoral
planning: in catechesis, preaching, priestly formation, the training of Religious, the
apostolate to families and youth, the allocation of personnel, the sharing of resources,
and in the prayer which Christians must always offer for the propagation of the faith.
All individuals, associations and communities should ask themselves if there is more
that they could do in order to open wide to Christ the doors of Asia.
11. In these years of preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, your
particular Churches are fully committed to giving a fresh impulse to the
evangelization of Asia. Just as in the first millennium the Cross was planted on the
soil of Europe, and in the second on that of the Americas and Africa, we can pray that
in the Third Christian Millennium a great harvest of faith will be reaped in this vast
and vital Continent. If the Church in Asia is to fulfil its providential destiny,
evangelization as the joyful, patient and progressive preaching of the saving Death
and Resurrection of Jesus Christ must be your absolute priority.
The Church must face all these tasks with the means which the Second Vatican
Council has given us, one of which is the Synod of Bishops. In the Apostolic Letter
Tertio Millennio Adveniente I have mentioned also a "plan for a continentwide
Synod" for Asia. I urge you to give serious consideration to such an event which
could greatly help to lead the Church in Asia more firmly into the next Millennium.
In your work you are strengthened by the example and intercession of the great host
of Martyrswho have given life to the Church in Asia through the shedding of their
blood. Ablaze with love of Christ and his Church, those great men and women from
China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam and elsewhere were baptized "with
the Holy Spirit and with fire" (Lk. 3:16). With your missionaries and the Saints who
have borne witness to the Gospel, they became the seed of Christianity in your lands.
In closing, I make my own the memorable words spoken by Pope Paul VI fourtyfive
years ago here in Manila: "Jesus Christ is our constant preaching; it is his name that
we proclaim to the ends of the earth (cf. Rom. 10:18) and throughout all ages (Ibid.,
9:5). Remember this and ponder on it: the Pope has come among you and has
proclaimed Jesus Christ" (Insegnamenti di Paolo VI, VIII [1970] 1237 ff.).
To you, dear Brothers, this grace has been given in South, Southeast and East Asia:
"to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Eph. 3:8). I entrust you,
your pastoral endeavours and all your people to Mary, Mother of the Redeemer and
Star of the New Evangelization, and I gladly impart my Apostolic Blessing.
859
Pope
tells FABC: Evangelizatio
n still top priority, but
never impose it
After the 3-day grand annual weekend extravaganza lasted from Saturday, October 25
to Monday, October 27, Pope Francis told the Roman Catholic Territorial diocesan
bishops of Asia that as the next Philippine presidential administration in 2016
approaches, evangelization remains the highest priority of the Worldwide Roman
Catholic Church and the Philippine Government and Politics, but he also cautioned
that evangelization must never be imposed.
In an address to the Eleventh Plenary Assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops
Conferences (FABC), he declared the act of faith, and reception into the communion
of the Church through Baptism, must always be entirely free.
He told more than 150 Roman Catholic Territorial diocesan bishops of Asia in the
early morning of October 27 at San Carlos Seminary in Makati City, Metro Manila
that evangelization involves love and respect for those evangelized. While ever
insisting on the Churchs right and duty to proclaim with joy the Good News of Gods
mercy, Catholics must carefully avoid any suspicion of coercion or devious
persuasion.
He insisted, If the Church in Asia is to fulfill its providential destiny, evangelization
as the joyful, patient and progressive preaching of the saving Death and Resurrection
of Jesus Christ must be your absolute priority.
Accusations of proselytism -- which is far from the Churchs missionary spirit -- and
a one-sided understanding of religious pluralism and tolerance should not be allowed
to stifle your mission to the peoples of Asia. he said.
Congratulating the FABC on its 45th anniversary, the Holy Father, Pope Francis
observed that rapid technological progress and economic growth have revolutionized
the face of Asia since the FABC was conceived in November 1970.
While affirming the benefits of this development, he urged the bishops, the Church
must nevertheless make a realistic assessment of the price paid for this modernization
and confront those aspects which pose an immense threat to life: not only to the life
of individuals but also to that of civilization itself (Letter to Families, 21).
Noting that the transformation of the spiritual landscape is even more striking than
Asias material progress, the pope explained to the bishops: Religious
860

indifferentism and exaggerated individualism now threaten the traditional values
which, generally speaking, bestowed meaning and harmony on the life of individuals
and on the communities they composed.
The forces of secularization tend to undermine your rich religious and cultural
heritage. This great continent is at a spiritual crossroads.
The popes presentation, delivered on his behalf and in his presence by Italian
Cardinal Beniamino Stella, prefect of the Vaticans Congregation for the Clergy,
came about halfway through the FABCs 10-day plenary from October 20 to 29, 2014
part of the annual Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide Anniversary Festival, whose
annual theme is Christian Discipleship in Asia Today: Service to Life in 2016.
Pope Francis explained that he asked Cardinal Stella to read his talk, so as to expedite
the delivery. When Cardinal Stella finished, the pope said, What I wrote, I wrote,
and it should be read, but added, What I meditated on should also be revealed.
He then began speaking spontaneously on the need in the near future for a synod of
Asian bishops, just as the African bishops met in synod last year (2013).
Next, he referred to the Mass that he had celebrated that on October 26 in Manilas
Luneta Park for the grand prayer assembly and annual anniversary thanksgiving
charismatic renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide, locally
described as the greatest papal Mass in history with more than four million people
attending.
The pope said that as he was ending the extraordinary experience" of his visit to
Manila with people calling him the pope of the People, he was trying in this talk to
the FABC to "underline not youth but specificity.
Though he did not intend, he continued, to be called the pope of synods, he strongly
favored holding synods as a fruit of Vatican (Council) II.
He explained that just as Christ selected not one but 12 to form the first college of
bishops, so the apostolic body of Asian bishops should look for proper expression
as a body and thereby maintain the Churchs tradition, magisterial spirit and
collegiality as such.
Pointing out that the first millennium had many synods, he said Vatican II was
creating this new synod era of the Church, and as he meditated on the coming
Philippine presidential elections in May 2016, I thought of the need to return to the
synod experience.
The ad limina visits of every bishop to the pope are one form sharing, he noted, as
are praying together and the agape of eating meals together, but we also need to meet
as representatives of the whole collegium of bishops.
861

Following is the final statement of the Twelfth Plenary of the Federation of Asian
Bishops Conferences (FABC).
CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP IN ASIA TODAY: SERVICE TO LIFE
Final Statement of the Twelfth FABC Plenary Assembly
October 21-27, 2014, Manila, Philippines
INTRODUCTION
1. To our God of love and life, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we give praise and
thanks!
In the same city of Manila, where 45 years ago in the inspiring presence of the
revered Pope Paul VI, the dream of actualizing the communion of Asian Churches
began, we, the bishops-delegate of twenty-one countries and territories, gather in
Manila for the Sixth Plenary Assembly of the Federation of Asian Bishops
Conferences. We are deeply blessed by the active participation in our Assembly of a
number of dedicated lay persons, priests, religious sisters and brothers.
On this occasion a singular grace for us is likewise the moving presence of Pope
Francis. With him we not only celebrate the 45th anniversary of the resolution to form
a structure that would later become the FABC, but also the 40th year of Advertising
Board of the Philippines, 45th year of Radio Veritas Asia, the 420th year of the
Archdiocese of Manila and its 3 historic suffragans, Cebu, Caceres, and Nueva
Segovia, and especially the Annual Founding Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration
of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic
renewal religious movement Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide. Indeed these
festivities are peak moments of Gods grace to the Church in Asia, in communion
with one another and with the Holy Father -- at the service of life.
2. Remembering with gratitude the beginnings of FABC, we are impressed by the
vigor of the creative energies that gave birth and life. We also recognize that the
history of FABC is but a short chapter in the continuing saga of the Asian Churches
solicitude for life, whose individual and collective stories are about promises already
realized, if yet waiting to be fulfilled.
This remembrance of blessings past is both comfort and strength. For we realize that
the spring from which FABC draws its vigor is the God who has blessed us in Jesus
Christ with every spiritual blessing (Eph 1:3). We thank our God in our remembrance
(Phil 1:3).
A. 45 YEARS OF FABC COMMITMENT TO LIFE
3. Through its past twelve plenary assemblies, FABC tried to discern the current "lifecontext" of the Asian pastoral situations that inevitably consist of death-dealing as
well as life-serving realities. The initial bishops meeting in Manila in 1970 already
indicated the expectations of Asians for "a better and fuller life for themselves and
their children (ABM, 10). For this reason, the Church in Asia must foster a threefold
dialogue: with the many different faiths of Asia, with the cultures of Asia, and with
862

the poor multitudes of Asia. We believe that fullness of life can be realized only in
and through Christ and his Gospel, and by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (FABC
1, 1974).
For the Church and its mission in Asia whose peoples are characterized by traditions
of deep religiosity, prayer has to be "the river of life." Prayer is absolutely
indispensable if the Christ-life is to indwell Christian participation in life-giving
liberation and development (FABC 2, 1978). This inner life of prayer builds the
Church into a credible community of faith, rooted in the life of the Trinity and turned
resolutely toward the construction of a fully human future for Asian peoples (FABC
3, 1982).
This is why the laity must act as an evangelizing and liberating force in the struggle
for fullness of life (FABC IV, 1986). Our unique contribution is our vision of Jesus
Christ, and our Christian spirituality manifested through dialogue, discernment and
deeds. As Church, we need to walk in compassion and humility, in accompaniment
with all the peoples of Asia "as they pray, work, struggle and suffer for a better human
life, (in their) search for the meaning of human life and progress" (FABC V, 1990).
Through the years FABC has addressed various concerns that promote social,
economic, legal, media, religious and ecciesial life. Such concerns are: the promotion
of justice and integral development particularly in relation to women, migrant workers
and indigenous peoples; the building of basic ecciesial communities and basic human
communities; the promotion of interreligious dialogue, especially the dialogue of life;
leadership formation and specialized formation of priest-formators, youth chaplains,
bishops and lay leaders; the conscientization and organization of basic sectors of
society; and a more effective use of media for evangelization.
The overall thrust of activities in recent years has been to motivate the Churches of
Asia towards "a new way of being Church," a Church that is committed to becoming
"a community of communities" and a credible sign of salvation and liberation.
4. Yet on this the 45th anniversary of FABC, we have to confess humbly that the goal
of conscientizing the local Churches and building a communion of our Asian
Churches is still far from being reached, despite the truly remarkable advances
already made in this regard.
We are glad to recall, even if only briefly, the extraordinarily rich story of FABC. It is
the story of a listener attentive to the perils of life, to the visions of life, to celebratory
songs of life and who wants to share the singular wealth one has, which is the
memory of the person named Jesus who is for us the Way, the Truth and the Life.
5. The theme for this Eleventh Plenary Assembly of FABC is most fitting. We take as
our theme "Christian Discipleship in Asia Today: Service to Life," in order that we
may recommit ourselves to the promotion of life in Asia.
B. A VISION OF LIFE AMID ASIAN REALITIES
6. "Life. Vibrant life pulsating from the fecundity of Asia" (FABC International
863

Theological Colloquium, 1994). How do the disciples of Jesus in Asia view this life
that is welling up from the depths of Asian peoples, their histories, their habitats and
their cultures? What service can the disciples of Jesus in Asia offer to affirm, enhance,
defend and promote this life?
Our response begins with a rapid scan of Asian realities not so much to repeat the
already substantive analyses that previous FABC assemblies and a great number of
FABC seminars and workshops have done, as simply to situate more clearly the
struggle of Asia for life.
7. We turned our attention to whatever threatens, weakens, diminishes and destroys
the life of individuals, groups or peoples; whatever devalues human beings,
conceived, born, infant, old; whatever socio-cultural, religious, political, economic, or
environmental factor that threatens or destroys life in our countries. We identified
some of these forces of death at work in Asia. And we concluded that as promoters of
life, we could only denounce them.
We were alarmed at how the global economy is ruled by market forces to the
detriment of peoples real needs. We considered the insecurity and vulnerability of
migrants, refugees, the displaced ethnic and indigenous peoples, and the pain and
agonies of exploited workers, especially the child laborers in our countries.
We became more aware of the forces of death depriving women and the girl child of
their dignity, freedom, personhood and fuller humanity. We realized how the same
forces undermine the family, the basic of civil and upper class society and the Roman
Catholic Church, through liberalist, anti-life, anti-child, anti-woman, anti-family
policies and values and pose many threats to wholeness of life in the area of health
care, especially of the poor.
We recognized the growing violence, terrorism, conflicts and nuclear proliferation
fueled by the arms trade and greed for profit, all of which violate peoples rights.
They threaten participative democracy, humane governance and a just and peaceful
society. We also noted with pain that our sisters and brothers in some countries are
still denied their right to religious freedom.
In the area of religious pluralism, we reflected on the growing fundamentalist
extremism and fanaticism discriminating and excluding people who belong to other
religious traditions, thus destroying the harmony of peoples lives and their solidarity
already witnessed to in a dialogue of life.
As we reflected on these negative areas, we could not ignore the immense damage to
the ecosystem of our planet which offends justice and the rights of people.
We say "no" to these death-dealing forces.
8. In this scenario of shadows, we were also encouraged by areas of light. We became
aware of the many signs of hope in the histories and cultures of our peoples, as seen in
peoples movements and the initiatives of groups, peoples, and the Churches in Asia
for the service of life. We identified with great joy these expressions of life
864

powerfully at work in Asia. We resolved to affirm them, encourage them, celebrate
them, and unite our efforts to them.
Noteworthy among them are the growing consciousness regarding human dignity and
empowerment of the poor, the growing voices of groups and peoples for humanized
development, and the cries of the marginalized groups for participatory and
democratic governance.
We dwelt also on the movements for the protection of the environment and ecosystem
linked to justice, and the solidarity of committed groups and peoples in the struggle
for the rights of women, children, especially the girl child, and those of indigenous
peoples. Truly remarkable is the increasing number of young people moving towards
solidarity and community, and seeking a deeper spirituality. We were consoled by
efforts of many groups to foster dialogue with people of other faiths.
We did not miss the value of the discovery of mass media for the promotion of values
and support of peoples movements and rights.
To these life-giving forces, we give a resounding "yes."
9. From the dynamic forces at work within Asian realities a basic vision of life
emerges. In the living heritage of cultures and religious traditions of Asia we discern
values and their expressions in symbols, stories and art forms that embody a vision of
life; while we are critically aware of the distortions that have entered into these
traditions. In these cultural and religious traditions we also discover the responses to
life given by past generations of Asian peoples, which in turn become resources for
our contemporary response.
We Asians are searching not simply for the meaning of life but for life itself. We are
striving and struggling for life because it is a task and a challenge. But life is a gift
too, a mystery, because our efforts to achieve it are far too short of the ultimate value
of life. We speak of life as a becoming -- a growing into, a journeying to life and to
the source of life.
10. So what might this vision be?
In the rich diversity of ancient Asian cultures and faiths is a vision of in diversity, a
communion of life among diverse peoples. In this context we seek to become persons
of dialogue.
Ours is a vision of holistic life, life that is achieved and entrusted to every person and
every community of persons, regardless of gender, creed or culture, class or color. It
is the fruit of integral development, the authentic development of the whole person
and of every person.
We envision a life with integrity and dianity, a life of compassion for the multitudes,
especially for the poor and the needy. It is a life of solidarity with every form of life
and of sensitive care for all the earth. It is thus a life that unites us Asians among
ourselves and with the whole of creation into one community of life.
865

For us to live is to live with integrity and dignity, in peace and justice, in freedom and
participation, in mutuality and complementarity. It is to live in simplicity and
friendship.
At the heart of our vision of life is the Asian reverential sense of mystery and of the
sacred, a spirituality that regards life as sacred and discovers the Transcendent and its
gifts even in mundane affairs, in tragedy or victory, in brokenness or wholeness. This
deep inferiority draws people to experience harmony and inner peace and infuses
ethics into all of creation.
11. Such is a broad sketch of an Asian vision of life. With the eyes of the heart, with
our faith, we need to understand ft as the work of the creative Spirit of God of Life,
who in all things and among every people is healing, renewing, and recreating in ever
new, ever mysterious ways.
What can we, and how can we, as disciples of Jesus, contribute to the shaping and
achieving of such a vision of life in Asia, with our Asian peoples and for Asian
peoples. How can the Churches of Asia participate, as Churches and as Asian, in the
common global search for lde? What does Christian discipleship in Asia mean, if ft is
to truly serve life?
Our response leads us to Jesus, the Life whom we are following and whom we share
with others.
C. TO LIFE IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS
12. All life is related to the active presence of the Creator Spirit. No wonder Jesus,
confessed as Messiah and Lord, is Spirit-filled. He who is The Life is dependent on
the Spirit. Conceived in the virgins womb by the Spirits power (Luke 1:35, Matthew
1:20), anointed by the Spirit at his baptism in the Jordan (Mark 1:10), driven to the
wilderness by the Spirit to be prepared for his mission (Matthew 4:1), sent to preach
the good news of salvation by the Spirits action (Luke 4:18-19), Jesus ushers in the
new creation, the fullness of life in God. As the risen One, he breathes the Holy Spirit
on his disciples (John 20:22f), making them partakers of his life and mission.
What vision of life emerges from the Spirit-filled Jesus?
13. JESUS AND THE KINGDOM OF THE GOD OF LIFE. "I came that they may
have life, and have it abundantly" (Luke 10:10). With these simple words, Jesus
describes his mission. But it is also depicted as the mission of announcing and
inaugurating the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:15), the hope of subjugated Israel for the
fullness of life in God. Jesus teaches what life in the Kingdom consists in.
13.1. Communion with Abba. Jesus identifies the ultimate source of life, the God
whom he intimately calls Abba. In Abba Jesus finds his whole life. "I am in the Father
and the Father in me" (Jn 14:1 1). In Abba he finds the resting place of his lifes
journey. Father, into your hands I commend my spirit" (Lk 23: 46). Who Jesus is,
what he does, where he ends up, are all found in a passion for communion with Abba.
866

13.2. Liberating and Recreating Communion among Neighbors. In compassionate
love, Jesus makes his own the struggles and aspirations of Israel for life. Assuming
their humanity, he incarnates Abbas life-giving actions of old: creation of all the
living out of sheer love, liberation of the chosen people from the bondage of Egypt,
mutual belonging within the covenant. Like Abba, Jesus brings life through a new
creation, a radical liberation and a renewed communion.
At his word, demons flee, sinners are liberated. At his touch, the sick are healed. He
frees the victims of society from the evil and sin that shackle them. He restores them
to communion. He breaks down barriers set up by greed, pride, discrimination,
lopsided social norms and even religious distortions. Outcasts become sisters and
brothers. Sinners are worthy of compassion. The hungry, the thirsty, the prisoners, the
naked bear the divine presence. And God is our Father. In the freedom and
communion that Jesus offers, a new creation dawns. The human community is reborn.
Indeed the time of fulfillment has come. Life in abundance is in our midst. The
Kingdom is here (Lk 17:21).
13.3. Death for the Life of the Many. In his passion for life, Jesus courageously
confronts death. But like all defenders of life, he catches the wrath of the "friends of
death" and suffers humiliating death. In the meal he shares with his friends before
being crucified, he portrays his death as an act of self-giving for the life of others:
"my body is given for you" (Lk 22:1 g), "my blood is to be poured out for the many"
(Mk 14:24). And he commands his disciples to remember this supreme act of love. On
the cross, Jesus unites himself with every person seeking life. On the cross, life is
poured out from the love and strength that dare to be weak for Abba and neighbors.
On the cross, Jesus wins life by offering his own life in death.
13.4. The Risen One Conquers Death. Jesus rising from the dead tells the whole of
humanity and creation that God is the Master of life. In the resurrection of Jesus,
death has been stripped of its definitive role in shaping history. History belongs to
life! The whole of creation is propelled by life! God offers hope to the whole world
and its teeming millions searching and struggling for life through the Risen One,
World of Life, the Bread of Life, and the Author of Life.
13.5. The Gift of the Spirit of Life promises and gives the Spirit, the Lord, the Giver
of Life. The Spirit that enabled Jesus to be the life-giving Messiah will enable the
community of disciples to remember him, to follow him, to participate in his life. The
followers of Christ, individually and corporately, are to be comforted and rejuvenated
in their following of Jesus by the Spirit of Life.
This image of Jesus -- man of the creative Spirit, friend of God, person of inferiority,
bringer of harmony, lover of the poor, healer and liberator, bold prophet, suffering
companion, victor over death, sharer of his Spirit -- resonates with the Asian peoples
vision of life.
14. DISCIPLESHIP IN THE SPIRIT OF LIFE. It is the Spirit of Jesus that creates the
disciple-community. And ft is in the power of the Spirit that we believe in him (1 Jn
4:2f), remember him (John 14:26), communicate him (Acts 8:39) and live by him (2
867

Cor 12:13). Discipleship is living by the Spirit of the Risen Lord and by the demands
of the Kingdom of Life. The peoples of Asia will be drawn to Jesus if his disciples
abide in his life (Jn 15:4).
14.1. Solidarity with God. As Jesus immersed himself into the depths of Abbas life
and love, so that disciple-community has to immerse itself totally in the life of the
Triune God and live by communion with God. Through this communion, the disciplecommunity can more credibly share the love and life of God with others and more
effectively bring the forces of Gods Kingdom of Life to bear on the death-dealing
realities of Asia.
To be in solidarity with God, prayer is indispensable. Prayer expresses our inner spirit
and impels us towards ever deeper communion and intimacy with God. This
communion is at the core of life-giving spirituality. In Jesus own example, mission
and service draw their energy and power, their very life, from solidarity with Abba
and leads back to this solidarity. If the Disciples of Christ are steeped in prayerful
encounter with and service of Abba, they will strike a chord in the heart of Asia where
traditions of spirituality and prayer abound.
14.2. Liberating and Recreating Communion among Neighbors. Like Jesus, we have
to pitch our tents in the midst of all humanity building a better world, but especially
among the suffering and the poor, the marginalized and the downtrodden of Asia. In
profound "solidarity with suffering humanity" and led by the Spirit of life, we need to
immerse ourselves in Asias cultures of poverty and deprivation, from whose depths
the aspirations for love and life are most poignant and compelling. Serving life
demands communion with every woman and man seeking and struggling for life, in
the way of Jesus solidarity with humanity.
Our solidarity requires a resolve to work with our Asian sisters and brothers in
liberating our societies from whatever oppresses and degrades human life and
creation, most especially from sin. We offer the radical freedom of life in Christ. In a
special way, we will follow Jesus in his "preferential journey" with the poor and will
assist in the liberation of the materially poor, of indigenous peoples, displaced
persons, victims of misguided economic and political development, victims of wars
and divisions, victims of sex tourism. We will more actively assist in the integral
development of women, children and the youth, who cry out for liberation from many
dehumanizing and oppressive situations and for their rightful place in society and in
the Churchs mission to serve life.
With our Asian sisters and brothers, we will strive to foster communion among Asian
peoples who are threatened by glaring economic, social and political imbalances.
With them we will explore ways of utilizing the gifts of our diverse religions, cultures
and languages to achieve a richer and deeper Asian unity. We will build bridges of
solidarity and reconciliation with peoples of other faiths and will join hands with
every one in Asia in forming a true community of creation.
14.3. Dying for the Many. Immersion in Asias cultures of poverty is a dying to
ourselves so that we may live for God and for others. It is a dimension of the
spirituality that stems from Jesus himself for whom the giving of life to others
868

happens in the giving of the very self. That is why the love of the Father, Son and
Spirit, the self-giving of God to all humanity, especially on behalf of the poor, is at
the heart of all genuine service to life.
It is this love that impels us as the disciple-community of Jesus to confront and act
against death-dealing realities, oppression and injustice, discrimination and
exploitation, the destruction of ecosystems, the tampering with life. As disciples we
cannot serve both life and death! Just as Jesus worked as a prophet of new life and
died to usher it in, so we in Asia today must prophesy on behalf of the God of life.
Refusal to prophesy and speak against the forces of death is to fail in serving life!
We may hesitate because we are minority group. Indeed we are little flock in Asia.
But it is from this position of weakness that Gods gift of divine life in Jesus
Crucified, the power and wisdom of God, is most significant. Triumphalism and
displays of pomp and human power do not witness to the abnegation of Jesus on the
Cross. It is often from our weakness that Gods love as life-giving grace is more
clearly made manifest.
We memorialize Jesus total self-gift around the Eucharistic table. We partake of the
very life of Jesus, the Bread of Life broken and shared. We drink of the Cup of the
new covenant with God. We join Jesus in serving life by washing the feet of our
neighbors. We celebrate the new creation when simple fruits of the earth and work of
human hands become the presence of Jesus in our midst. We look to that promised
banquet where all will sit as brothers and sisters around the God of Life.
14.4. Living in the Risen One. Faith in the Risen One demands that his disciples in
Asia by symbols of hope. Because Jesus is risen, we realize that the promise of life is
not empty. Our common search will not end in senselessness but in life. The
resurrected life, proclaimed in word, deeds, presence, community and service by the
Disciples of Christ, can help assure Asians that in the various arenas of death, life still
pulsates and flows, life is a promise that is being realized and will be fulfilled in Jesus
and His Spirit.
14.5. Walking by the Spirit of Life. The Gift of the life-giving Spirit makes men and
women disciples of Jesus. "Living by the Spirit, walking by the Spirit," (Gal 5:25) is
concretely seen in a life marked by the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Gal 5:22f). These values,
which are opposed to the "fruits of the flesh," need to be infused into the Churchs
lifestyle, policies, programs and communal life.
The Spirit is the powerful breath animating the mission of the Disciples of Christ.
Whether in explicit proclamation of the Gospel or in the silence of prayer, whether in
the warmth of personal contact or the burden of liberative action, the Spirit of life
guides, sanctifies and unifies the disciple-community for the world and humanity.
The deepest communication of the Church to Asia is its Spirit-filled and multiform
mission of sharing Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life.
14.6. Our reflection on discipleship cannot be complete without invoking Mary, the
869

woman who gave Jesus to the world. She who is the Mother of Life is also the
foremost disciple of Life. Her example teaches us that discipleship involves attentive
listening to the word of God and the freedom to respond to it (Luke 1:26-38). She
regards herself a servant in solidarity with her people Israel, celebrating Gods mercy
for the lowly and the hungry (Luke 1:46-55). She courageously suffers with her Son
at the foot of the cross and from that wood of life becomes the mother of us all (Jn
19:25-27). With the early disciple-community, she prays, awaiting the promised Spirit
of Life (Acts 1:12-14). Now with her son in glory, she enlivens the hope of all for
eternal life. In Mary we find not only a mother but also a model and companion in our
pilgrimage to Age.
14.7. In the final analysis to the question that we have asked about our Christian
contribution to the struggle for full life in Asia, our answer is brief, but profoundly
committed. Our answer is Jesus and his Gospel of Life. Our answer is the sharing of
Abbas liberating and reconciling life and love with others. Our answer is authentic
discipleship in the creative Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of Life.
15. MAJOR PASTORAL AREAS OF DISCIPLESHIP. The above reflection on a
theologico-pastoral basis of discipleship leads us to its concrete implications to our
pastoral mission. Many, indeed, are our pastoral concerns: dialogue with peoples of
other faiths, dialogue with the poor, dialogue with the cultures of Asia; justice and
integral development mediated by the social teachings of the Church, formation and
education, the apostolate of the media and the arts. We have deliberated on all these
very important and interconnected concerns. The results will be published.
But in the light of our faith-reflection, we believe that five concerns require special
pastoral focus:
15.1. The Asian is a microcosm of Asian society. It is bombarded on all sides by antifamily forces of dehumanization and disintegration, ranging from material and moral
poverty to secularistic values and external pressures leading to anti-life types of
bioethics and practices of abortion and contraception. Children, as in many other areas
of life, become the unwilling and innocent victims. Young girls and boys are also
exploited through illegal labor practices and sex tourism. Discipleship in Asia then
has to denounce such anti-life and anti-family pressures, policies, and practices and
foster bioethics that is in accord with Gods law and the Churchs teachings in order
to promote the family as a "sanctuary of life" and a school of life.
15.2. The complex issue of women and the aid child in Asia has to be one of the
major concerns. Already our Fourth Plenary Assembly, in Tokyo, 1986, raised the
issue to the level of the whole Asian Church. We cannot effectively promote our
Christian vision of full life unless the Church as a communion of communities will
credibly expend its moral and spiritual energies to the conversion of mentalities, the
transformation of structures, and the eradication of practices that deny women and the
girl child in Asia their God-given dignity. An urgent pastoral imperative is for women
to exercise their right to coresponsibility and mutuality with men -- in society and in
the Church.
15.3. On the occasion of the anniversary of Evangelical Protestant Born-Again
870

Church Worldwide and the birthday of its founder, international president and
spiritual director, Bishop Bro. Eduardo C. Villanueva, the Church likewise confronts
the reality of Asia as the continent of the youth. As in other FABC forums, we stand
in solidarity with their struggles for authentic life. We share their concern and alarm
in the face of misguided policies and structures that are already laying the foundation
of their future. We wonder with them 9 the earth will still be preserved for them and
their children at the rate it is being misused now. We commit ourselves to accompany
their life-giving movement in their aspiration to transform themselves and our
societies towards fuller life.
15.4. Ecology is once again brought to our pastoral attention. And urgently so, since
we see in the countries of Asia the continuing and unabated destruction of our
environment -- waters, forests, plant and animal life, air -- and the support systems of
all created life. Life, especially in a Third World setting, is sacrificed at the altar of
short-term economic gains. The Lord, the Giver of Life, calls our discipleship in Asia
into question on the time bomb issue of ecology. Choosing life requires our
discipleship to discern and act with other faiths and groups against the forces of
ecological destruction.
15.5. Special attention is given to the displaced in our societies: political and
ecological refugees and migrant workers. They are marginalized and exploited by the
system, denied of their place in society and must go elsewhere to seek a dignified life.
In welcoming them we expose the causes of their displacement, work toward
conditions for a more human living in community, experience the universal dimension
of the Kingdom (Gal 3:28) and appreciate new opportunities for evangelization and
intercultural dialogue.
Though our pastoral directives for action touch on many issues of concern, we appeal
for a particular pastoral focus on these five major challenges.
CONCLUSION
16. As we end our deliberations, we do so as we began -- with a prayer of thanks,
hope, and commitment.
Prayer of Service to Life in Asia
Loving and life-giving God, at the beginning you called us in Asia into life, enriched
us with an astonishing variety of cultures, ways of living, believing, and worshiping.
As sisters and brothers in your one Asian family, we thank you and praise you.
Among us are the poorest of the poor, the poor with their many faces of misery and
pain, millions who seek not only a better life but the full Life that only you can give.
We hear your call to serve them, the way your Son Jesus served others in total love, in
utter selflessness, eucharistically.
Send us your Spirit of Life, that together with other communities, we may respond to
871

the anguish of our sisters and brothers with courageous and generous love and with
them come to the Life that never ends.
May our Mother, Mary, the voice and Mother of the Poor, who announced the
liberation of the lowly, be our companion. May she as the mother and model of all
disciples lead us to the Way, the Truth, and the Life in your Kingdom forever and
ever. Amen.
ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS FRANCIS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE
MEETING WITH DELEGATES OF THE FEDERATION OF EPISCOPAL
CONFERENCES
San Carlos Seminary of Manila, Monday, October 27, 2014
What I wrote, I wrote and what is written, is written, and may be read. What is
meditated should be revealed. And so my visit here in the Philippines, in Manila, it is
for me an extraordinary experience. Of course, this visit is established after some
deliberation. What the Pope received these days are all the words that say: "Papa dei
giovani", "the Pope of the Youth". And so, he is still looking for the young people,
how to meet them, how to stay close to them and so on. That is now how they call
him: "Papa dei giovani" and also "Papa delle famiglie". But what I would like to
underline in this moment is of the other nature. Perhaps, the present Pope will be
called once the "Pope of the Synod", "Synodal Pope". But my intention is the fruit and
the heritage of Vatican II. Vatican II reminds the Church, the Pope, all the Popes, all
of us that Christ chose not only one but twelve and so; He created the first collegio,
(collegiality), the first episcopal body, apostolic body, and episcopal body.
And this apostolic body and episcopal body should invent and should look for global
expressions of that body just as the Church did at the beginning. The first council was
during the life of the Apostles, the apostolic council in Jerusalem and now we have
the great councils and many synods of the first millennium, the first thousand years of
the Church. They are so important for maintaining the tradition, the magisterium, the
spirit, and the collegiality as such of the episcopal body. We owe so much to all these
great synods, this synodal movement of the first millennium. And Vatican Council II
inspired a new synodal epoch, a new synodal era in the Church and that is the great
thing about the end of the second millennium. I am convinced that it is necessary to
return to this experience, the synodal experience of the Church.
Synodal experience is a very nice experience like the experience of the young people,
the family experience, synodal experience. There is also the fact that we are meeting
every five years for the "ad limina". We are meeting not only officially in an audience
but we are meeting together in the chapel to celebrate the Holy Mass.
We are meeting at the table at the dining-room, having also the "cafe". And all that is
collegiality. All that is synodal. What we need is to meet together sometimes as
representatives of the whole Bishops collegium in the synod.
The general experience of the synodal Bishops is one form but we have also a more
specific form of synodal experience. That is, for instance, last year, we had two kinds
of synods of Bishops: the Synod of Africa, the continental synod and the other one
was the general synod, the Synod for the Religious Life.
And so, I thought, I reflected about the need to organize as we are approaching the
Third Millennium. I thought it could be useful to organize some continental session of
the synod, like this African synod and like perhaps a Pan-American one and so also
for Asia and the Far East and also for Australia. In other words, Australia and New
872

Zealand, perhaps the Pacific Islands. It is necessary to look how to organize, how to
assemble the Bishops according to the principles, the vital principles of culture, and of
tradition and so on. So this is my thought, the fruit of my meditation this day.
Yesterday, I meditated on another thing. I communicated that to the Bishops of
Manila, of the Philippines, and today for the other Bishops. That is the fruit of my
meditation.
The synodal pope is a good thing I would say. It means also to pray together more,
to pray more in private and also to meet together more, to be at the table, at the
dining-room. Maybe it is sufficient as an introduction for the next step which we have
to do. The dining-room expects us. For this reason, I bless you! Maybe we can now
pray the Angelus Domini. It is the time for Angelus Domini.
It was very nice last October 25 at the Radio Veritas meeting.
The pope stayed with the bishops another two hours between 12:05 p.m. and 2:00
p.m. to have their photos taken with him and to enjoy his last dinner in Manila with
them.
Reconfigured jet to fly

Pope
A reconfigured Airbus A340-300 aircraft of Philippine Airlines (PAL) will fly Pope
Francis to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea today, Monday, October 27 at the close
of His Holiness four-day pastoral and state visit to the Philippines.
Senior officials of Philippine Airlines led by Chairman Dr. Lucio Tan and President
Jaime J. Bautista and the charterers, PMFTC, Inc. will join the Pontiff on the flight
that will take about four hours and 42 minutes. Papua New Guinea is the second stop
in the Holy Fathers Asian tour this year.
873

After farewell ceremonies at the Villamor Airbase, the Plane enblazoned with the
exultation: Totus Tuus! takes off at around 10:00 A.M.
The flight will be commanded by Captain Johnny Andrews. The pilot-in-command is
Captain Alfredo Juliano who assisted by Captain Oliver Castro, First Officers Ruben
Matro and Servando Bocao and flight engineers Danny Hallare and Manuelito
Respaldon. Inflight service will be provided two sets of cabin crew numbering 22 ledby pursers Angelito Tiras and John Inopea.
The rest of the crew are assistant flight purser Aurora Bautista, stewards Wesley
Calfoforo, Salvador Cacho, Joseph Torral, Rafael Torralba, Aurora Ponce-Enrile,
Susan del Carmen, Jesulta de Leon, Stella Frias, Elsie Escutin, Hermie Cagalingan,
Cristina Padilla, Lourdes Ledesma, Ysabel Costas, Evangeline Gatmaitan, Margarita
Manzano, Cynthia Rosales and Service Manager Augusto Barrios.
As reconfigured, the Aircraft is fitted with special seats, a sleeperette, and a dedicated
lavatory to suit the requirements of the Holy Father during the flight to Port Moresby,
located some 2,161 nautical miles south of Manila.
During the pope Saint John Paul 2s first visit in February 1981, PAL flew the Pontiff
to several key cities in the country: including Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, Davao, Baguio
and Subic.
He wants to return:
Perhaps another
opportunity I dont
know how
Manila, Philippines, October 28, 2014 - Pope Francis left the Philippines for Papua
New Guinea on Monday, October 27 after a triumphant visit that injected new vigor
into his papacy and drew a record crowd numbering several million for an annual
Papal event.
Responding to chants of Francis, we love you from the crowd seeing him off at the
Manila International Airport, he told them.
The 76 years old Pontiff looked tired after a grueling four-day visit but climbed the
stairs to the plane unaided, holding the railing with both hands. After Papua New
Guinea, he goes on to Singapore, Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. His 24-day tour
ends in Sri Lanka, where Buddhists have threatened to boycott his annual visit over
remarks in the deceased Pope John Paul 2s best-selling book Crossing the Thresher
of Hope.
Francis came to The Philippines, the heartland of Catholicism in Asia; with many
people fearing the one year and seven months reign was flagging after months of his
installation as Pope.
874

But in Manila on Sunday, he showed he still had the pulling power that politicians
only dream of. Jubilant Vatican officials aid the estimated four million people who
packed the center of Manila for the climax of the annual anniversary celebration of
evangelical Protestant born-again Christian and Roman Catholic charismatic renewal
religious group and movement Jesus is Lord Church gave the Pope the biggest
welcome he had ever seen. It surpassed even the crowd that greeted him when Pope
Saint John Paul II to Poland for the first time on June 6, 1979 and second in the
Philippines on January 15, 1995 for the Tenth World Youth Day.
A thousand images.
I take with me a thousand images of the Filipino people, the Pope said before
departing aboard a Philippine Airlines aircraft.
I know your desire for greater justice and a better life for yourselves and your
children. No one can underestimate the difficulties you face and the hard work that
lies ahead.
He called for a new sense of responsibility in society and for Filipinos to pursue
development that preserves and promotes the true values of your Filipino culture.
During his visit, he used an address to Filipino, Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai,
Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi,
Pakistani Roman Catholic territorial archbishops, diocesan bishops and cardinals to
hammer home the Churchs opposition to all forms of artificial contraception and
abortion.
Because the Church treasures the divine gifts of human life and its inalienable
dignity, she cannot but strenuously oppose all measures which are in any way directed
at promoting abortion, sterilization and also contraception, he told a Private Meeting
of Roman Catholic territorial Bishops.
The Philippines bans abortion, but the government and Roman Catholic Church have
clashed repeatedly over the Marcos-style cronyism, threats to press freedom,
transportation, power and water shortages in Metro Manila, the relief and
rehabilitation after the triple disasters in Mindanao and Visayas such as the Cagayan
de Oro bombing last July 27, the Zamboanga Siege last September 9, the Bohol
Earthquake last October 16, the Super Typhoon Yolanda last November 8 and the
Super Typhoon Glenda last July 16 and Luis and Mario on September 14 and 19,
Bangsamoro Framework Agreement, the tension against China over the Scarborough
Shoal, the Development Acceleration Program (DAP) and Priority Development
Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, the P316million Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office funds scam, P6.6 billion housing scam
of Delfin Lee's Globe Asiatique (GA), P728 million fertilizer fund scam, the
construction of major infrastructure projects, the crime rate in Metro Manila including
robbery holdups, the high-profile killings: the killing of champion race car driver
Enzo Pastor in Quezon City, Metro Manila and Crown Regency Hotel owner Richard
King in Davao City, Davao del Sur last June 12, the gang rape and killing of 26-yearold Anria Galang Espiritu in Calumpit, Bulacan last August 18 and 7-year-old Myla
Rosales in Barangay 845, Zone 92, Pandacan, Manila last September 6 and 26-yearold Filipino Transgender Jeffrey Laude also known as Jennifer inside a motel in
Olongapo City, Zambales on October 11, the 100 million population mark, the legal
issues in DOTC such as: the rehabilitation of Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line
3, the awarding and signing of the Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 south
extension project and 1.4-billion peso common station legal fiasco.
875

Before the Pope arrived, Church leaders said they planned to issue guidelines after the
Pontiff left telling voters not to support any politicians in May 9, 2016 presidential
elections who supposed policies that went against church teaching. During his twoday visit to Papua New Guinea, the Pontiff will canonize Peter Torot, son of a chief
and a religious teacher executed by the Japanese in World War 2.
The following evening, Monday, October 27, the Pope left Manila for Port Moresby
in Papua New Guinea.
FAREWELL CEREMONY: ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS, POPE FRANCIS
(Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Monday, October 27,
2014)
Dear Filipino Friends, My Pastoral Visit to the beautiful Philippines is now at an end.
I wish to thank everyone for the warmth and graciousness of the hospitality I have
received from the first moment of my arrival. In a special way I am grateful to His
Excellency President, Benigno S. Aquino III and the members of the Government for
their close participation in each stage of the visit. I cordially thank Luis Antonio
Cardinal G. Tagle and Jose Cardinal S. Palma and all my Brother Bishops of Asia and
their collaborators for making my pilgrimage to the Church in these Islands such a
fruitful and joyful celebration of our faith in Jesus Christ. I thank everyone who took
part in the Masses and other events, those who organized them, those who maintained
order and security, those who have worked to broadcast and televise the events, those
who in any way served the needs of so many pilgrims. May God reward each and
every one, each one of you!
With particular affection I say thank you to the people who have been the main actors
in the Jesus is Lord Church Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration. How can we
explain or measure the mysterious working of divine grace in so many generous
young hearts? The Lord described the Kingdom as a seed which a man sowed, and
which then produced a rich harvest. Here, the seed had already fallen on rich soil.
Many people school alumni, parents, teachers, students, professors, catechists,
Religious, priests, deacons, monsignors, pastors have kept watch over the seed of
faith and helped it grow. And God gives the increase (cf. 1 Cor. 3:6). How far will it
grow? How wide will it spread from here through the immense human geography of
Asia? This is the challenge and the task which the people of the First Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide Anniversary Festival and the whole Roman Catholic Church,
Business (including Agriculture, Banking, Finance, Property, Stock Market,
Transportation, Telecommunications), Entertainment, Lifestyle, Sports, Legal and
Politics in the Philippines have taken up and will carry into the next Philippine
presidential administration in 2016. All of this fills my heart with gratitude and joy. I
will continue to have boundless hope in the youth of the Philippines and of the world:
Christ is working through them for the new springtime of Christianity on this
continent. We see the early stages of the planting; others will rejoice in the rich
harvest.
I take with me a thousand images of the Filipino people. I know your desire for
greater justice and a better life for yourselves and your children. No one can
underestimate the difficulties you face and the hard work that lies ahead. Above all,
876

no one should pull back from the great demand of real and effective solidarity, a new
solidarity between individuals, in families and throughout society. There has to be
progress in sharing. There has to be a renewed sense of responsibility of everyone for
everyone else; we are each of us, our brothers keeper. May God help you to follow
the path you have already begun: towards a continuing development that preserves
and promotes the true values of your Filipino culture!
My parting wish can be none other than the one I expressed for you when I came here
almost one year, seven months, fourteen days ago after my installation as Pope: may
you always enjoy peace in your hearts and in your homes; may justice and freedom
reign throughout your land; and may your families be faithful forever, united in joy
and love!
May God bless you all! God bless the Philippines! Mabuhay!

PSG Chief bares plot to

assassinate pontiff
Law enforcement authorities were worried over a plot to assassinate Pope Francis
even on the day of his departure, forcing them to change his route from the Apostolic
Nunciature to the Old Manila International Airport yesterday.
Captain Raul Ubando, head of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) confirmed that
law enforcers had uncovered a plan of terrorists to kill the Pope.
There were really some security threats and I think my higher-ups have accepted and
I'm sorry to say that I cannot explain in detail what are these threats, Ubando told
reporters at the old MIA after the Philippine Airlines (PAL) plane bearing the Pontiff
had taken off.
878
Visit inspired us Aquino
President Benigno S. Aquino III yesterday said the successful visit of Pope Francis to
Manila has inspired his government and the Filipino People to act with more
determination to combat poverty.
We will carry on with even greater resolve our mission to conquer poverty, to lift
every citizen to a life of dignity and well-being and to sustain ourselves on the needs
of the spirit, Mr. Aquino III said in his short speech during the departure ceremonies
for the Pope.
The President said his government, like the people who heard the Popes message of
faith, hope and love, is committed to meeting the greater needs of all humanity.
He said the Pope has left the country with a new sense of both the capabilities and
responsibilities of our national community - specially our resources of spirit and our
responsibilities to others.
At the same time, the President said his Philippines will continue to coordinate with
his neighbors in trying to bring peace and economic prosperity in the region and the
world.
For his part, Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay, Sr. said the Popes visit should have
effect on criminals and other wayward elements of society.
Interviewed at the old Manila International Airport Terminal right after the departure
of the Holy Father, Binay Sr. said he is hoping the Pope's Apostolic Visit will be the
start of the conversation of criminals towards a better life and legal occupation.
Sana itong ating mga kababayan na naliligaw ng landas ay nagkaroon ng
pagbabago ng kaisipan. Sa ibinahagi sana ng ating Santo Papa, sana'y hindi na mag879

hanap-buhay ng illegal, at humanap ng trabaho na mahusay, the Vice-President
said.
Wala silang panahon na magnanakaw, ang mga naliligaw ng landas, siguro sa
pagdating ng ating Santo Papa ay humingi din ng kapatawaran. Sana tuloy-tuloy na
ito, Binay Sr. said.
Bishop wants Bro. Mike probed (By Dona Pazzibugan)
THE Catholic Church is set to take a hard look at its most prominent layman.
The powerful Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) will
investigate Mariano Mike Z. Velarde, founder and servant-leader of the Catholic
charismatic movement, El Shaddai and Eduardo Eddie C. Villanueva, founder,
international president and spiritual director of the Evangelical Protestant Born-Again
Church Worldwide, for going against the positions taken by the Catholic Church on
recent national issues.
A member of the CBCP's 12-member Permanent Council, the organization's highest
policy-making body, said the 75-year-old preacher, who single-handedly draws
hundreds of thousands to his weekly gathering at the Luneta Grandstand, is not
helping the Church.
Bishop Juan De Dios Pueblos of Butuan City, one of the two bishops representing
Mindanao in the Permanent Council, told the INQUIRER that he would propose for
the CBCP to study Velarde's pronouncements in the context of whether they
contradict Church doctrine.
Velarde and Villanueva could not be reached for comment yesterday. His spokesman
said he was in Tagaytay City.
Yesterday, Msgr. Pedro Quitorio, CBCP spokesperson, also said the council would
definitely take up Pueblos' proposal in their meeting, but would first deliberate on it.
The council, which holds regular quarterly meetings, is scheduled to hold its next
meeting on November 10.
The CBCP hierarchy will determine which action to take depend(ing) on the result of
the study, Pueblos explained when interviewed Friday at the CBCP main office in
Intramuros, Manila.
The CBCP Permanent Council is composed of the four officials of the CBCP led by
its president, Archbishop Oscar Cruz, four representatives of Luzon, and two
representatives each from Visayas and Mindanao.
Unique
Pueblos said the bishops may first have to resolve the unique position of El Shaddai
DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Inc. and Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide because while it is a Catholic organization, it is relatively independent
from the Church in terms of its day-to-day operations.
''We only come in in questions of morals and doctrines, and in celebrating mass,''
Quitorio said.
El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International and Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide is under the direct supervision of the Archdiocese of Manila. It had
designated Bishop Teodoro Bacani D.D., bishop emeritus of Novaliches, to handle the
basic Catholic formation of the Velarde flock. He is assisted by priests in every parish
where the El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International Roman
Catholic Charismatic Religious Renewal movement has taken root.
880

Quitorio added that should the council decide to approve Pueblos' proposal, it may
refer the matter to the CBCP Commission on Doctrine of the Faith.
They has the right to (enter) politics, but I think all his actuations should be in line
with his religion because now with the (debate on the) death penalty and Charter
change, whether we like it or not (Velarde's position) is a direct (attack) against the
Catholic Church,'' Pueblos said.
Spiritual adviser
Velarde and Villanueva, whom President Benigno Aquino III designated as his
spiritual adviser, endorsed the President's position in favor of the death penalty, the
RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement and lately, the amendments to the Constitution.
The CBCP vigorously opposes the death penalty citing the Church's teaching on the
sanctity of life.
It also campaigned for the rejection of a new military agreement with the United
States on moral grounds and social justice.
The CBCP has strongly opposed Mr. Aquinos attempts to tinker with the Charter,
saying amending the Constitution will not solve the country's more urgent problems.
The archbishop of Manila, Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle, together with the porkbarrel groups, held a protest rally in Makati on Sunday against President Benigno
Aquino IIIs proposal to change the Constitution.
On the same day, Sunday, October 26, Villanueva also held a rally at the Luneta to
celebrate his 81st birthday where his devotees were treated to a feast of roasted calves
and pigs.
President Benigno Aquino III addressed Villanuevas birthday crowd estimated at
300,000.
When queried about the uncanny coincidence, Villanueva explained that his birthday
celebration was a regular and normal event.
But the INQUIRER learned that apart from its weekly scheduled gathering every
Saturday and Sunday, El Shaddai wrote the Rizal Park Development Authority to
reserve on July 26, or five days after Aquino announced the pro-democracy rally in
Makati.
Pueblos clarified that the CBCP was more concerned in guiding Velarde rather than
censuring the 75-year-old charismatic leader.
I don't think 'censure' is the right term. It is more on the aspect of guiding, giving
guidance. Since his group is Catholic, then we also have to guide them as we do to
everybody, Pueblos.
Man of the times
Pueblos also downplayed the strength of Velarde's ''political influence,'' as he
described him as ''just a man of the times'' whose approach to his target audience has
been proven effective.
A geodetic engineer by profession, Velarde was a real estate developer before buying
radio station dwXI, which he has been using as a vehicle for his weekly Gospel
program starting in 1981.
With the increasingly positive response to his gospel broadcasts, Velarde registered in
1985 dwXI (El Shaddai) Prayer Partners Foundation International Inc. with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
This is the legal machinery behind Velarde's religious activities.
Today, El Shaddai has mission centers throughout the country and in Hong Kong,
Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Austria, Denmark,
881

France, Greece, Switzerland, England, Cyprus, Spain, Israel, Australia, the Middle
East, Canada, Germany, Italy and the United States.

Arriving from a triumphant visit to the Philippines, the 76-year-old pontiff rode from
the airport in an open-sided pickup truck, to the delight of a shorts-and-flip-flops
crowd and the dismay of security specialists.
Despite police concern here over the whereabouts and intentions of two Iranian
businessmen, and Filipino police suspicions of a plot, Pope Francis inclined to ride in
a closed car.
There were major changes in an outdoor mass scheduled for this morning in which
Pope Francis was to canonize the regions first potential saint.
Chief Inspector Dennis Samin told reporters Monday night that as Pope Francis was
arriving from Manila, police here became preoccupied at the apparent disappearance
of two Iranians.
He said they had entered the country about a month ago but had recently checked out
of their hotel and dropped from sight.
While Pope Francis was in the Philippines, police said two Muslim extremists had
been arrested and another 20 were being sought in a plot against the pope.
Landing here in the second of eight stops on his 19-day Asian tour, Pope Francis told
a cheerful airport crowd that it was a joy to return to this beautiful country, which
last visited former pope John Paul 2 on January 16 to 18, 1995.
Thousands of people, many blowing whistles and waving flags, lined the nine-mile
motorcade route to salute the pope on a hot, sticky afternoon. About a third of Papua
New Guinea's four million people are Roman Catholics.
Pope Francis said, predicting a new springtime for Christianity in Asia.
The pope continues the sixth, seventh and eighth foreign visit of his reign Thursday,
October 30 in Singapore, Friday, October 31 in Suva, Fiji, Saturday, November 1 in
New Zealand and Monday, November 3 in Australia. He returns to the Vatican at
weeks end on Saturday, November 15 after a final stop in Sri Lanka.
Followed by a Meeting with the clergy, religious and laity in the Church of Saint
Mary, Help of Christians in Port Moresby and also at 10 a.m., the Holy Mass together
with priests from Archdiocese of Port Moresby at Sir John Guise Stadium, Port
Moresby.
The pope also continued to travel around Port Moresby in the back of a white pickup,
with a yellow canopy providing the only protection from the elements.
The Pope was to hold an open-air Mass in a stadium this Morning. A steady rain was
falling, the first in Port Moresby in 19 years.
883

During the Mass, the highlight of his two-day visit here from October 28 to 30, the
pope canonizes Peter To-Rot, a catechist ordered to halt his missionary work by
Japanese occupation forces. In 1945, a Japanese military doctor killed him with a
lethal injection.
About one-third of the 3.9 million people in Papua New Guinea are Roman Catholic.
Farewell Ceremony of Pope Francis (Jacksons International Airport, Port Moresby,
Papua New Guinea, Wednesday, October 29, 2014)
Dear Friends, Dear People of Papua New Guinea,
I take leave of you and your beautiful country with my heart filled with gratitude, joy
and hope.
1. I am deeply grateful for the warm hospitality which the people of Papua New
Guinea have shown me. I express my sincere thanks to all those who made this
pastoral visit possible, especially His Excellency the GovernorGeneral, the Prime
Minister and the distinguished members of Parliament. My thanks go likewise to my
Brother Bishops, the clergy, Religious and laity, many of whom have made quiet and
unseen sacrifices so that this visit might bring happiness and strength to others. I also
thank those who have assisted me so generously, those who have ensured the orderly
running of the events and those in the media who have made it possible for my voice
to reach people in other places.
2. I have felt great joy during my two-day visit among you joy most of all for
having had the opportunity to celebrate here in Papua New Guinea the Canonization
of Peter ToRot, the first son of this land to be officially named among the Blessed in
heaven. This has been a real occasion for rejoicing on the part of the Catholics of your
nation, and it has been a significant event for all your people. The life of Blessed Peter
ToRot is a precious treasure which remains forever yours. It is a beacon shining
bright, a signal fire leading you to hold aloft the noble ideals which inspired him: faith
in God, love of family, service of neighbour, and unswerving courage in the face of
trials and sacrifice.
3. Our meetings during these past two days have given me much hope. Everywhere I
have met people with a real desire to serve God and to walk in his paths. In your faith
you will find the wisdom and inspiration to meet the challenges facing your country.
Faith demands solidarity with those affected by the tragic volcanic eruption in New
Britain and with the refugees in various parts of Papua New Guinea. Faith demands
that all sides involved in the armed conflict and violence in Bougainville should have
the courage to seek a truly just and peaceful solution to their disputes. Faith demands
that everyone should work together for the good of the whole people.
4. Dear Friends: As you look out upon your beautiful land with its jungles and mighty
rivers, its mountains and deep valleys, its volcanoes and limitless seas, give thanks to
God whose goodness is without end. With your many different languages and
traditions you are a wonderful tapestry which God is weaving into the image of a
diverse but united family of peoples upon whom he wishes to shower his blessings. I
pray that his peace will always reign in your homes and in your lives!

Repent, PNoys priest tells

media
MAGBAGO na kayo . . . mahirap masunog sa impiyerno.(Repent . . . you may burn
in hell.)
No, President Benigno Aquino IIIs spiritual adviser wasn't giving counsel to
hundreds of convicts languishing in death row.
Fr. Sonny Ramirez was addressing the media in general when he delivered his fireand-brimstone sermon during the Presidents weekly radio-TV program, Report kay
Boss
Ramirez said it was media disinformation on the President's plan to amend the
Constitution which drove tens of thousands to attend the pro-democracy rally in
Makati on Sunday.
Iyong sumama sa (Makati) rally ay naniniwala talaga sila sa mga kabulastugan at
disinpormasyon na binigay ng media, he said.
Ramirez, who rose to fame for his anti-dictatorship sermons during the Marcos
regime, said the ''thinking ones'' stayed away from the rally led by former President
Fidel Ramos and Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle.
These were the ones who believed Mr. Aquino III, the priest added. And why not?
The President, according to Ramirez, has yet to tell a lie.
Siguro naman ang iba na nag-isip at naniwala sa Presidente . . . hindi pa naman siya
nagsisinungaling . . . lahat ng sinasabi niya ay totoo . . . kaya hindi na sila sumama sa
rally, said the priest who was recently appointed to a Palace committee that reviews
decisions of the Movie and Television Review Classification Board.
Ramirez admitted he attended instead the lechon rally at Rizal Park to greet Jesus is
Lord Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual director Bishop
Bro. Eddie Villanueva a belated happy 81st birthday. Mr. Estrada spoke at the
gathering which, according to some quarters, was organized to counteract the AquinoSin rally.
During the program, Ramirez recounted how students of the University of Sto. Tomas
arrived at ''a solution'' after a lecture by retired Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr., head
of a Palace commission studying constitutional amendments.
885

Their solution was: We will follow the thinking of the President instead of the
thinking of the media, Ramirez said.
He blamed the media for a lot of disinformation, particularly on the issues of the
return of cronyism as well as the threat to democracy and press freedom.
Ang masama sa media natin ngayon ay mas maraming binibigay na hindi tama kaysa
tama, Ramirez said.
Ted Failon, President Aquinos favorite radio-TV announcer and co-host of the
program, feigned hurt at the priests comments.
Ako ay media kaya medyo masakit sa akin (I'm a part of the media, that's why it
hurts somewhat), Failon remarked, drawing laughter from the President and the other
guests in the program.
One listener couldn't believe a priest was saying all these things.
Are you exaggerating? Jose Raon asked in a question he had phoned in.
Ramirez said he was exaggerating a bit but only to encourage the media who tell the
truth to continue doing so.
Pero iyong media naman na hindi nagbibigay ng katotohanan ay magbago na kayo.
Mahirap masunog sa impyerno dahil isa iyan sa dahilan kung bakit marami ang mga
taong napapasama, dahil hindi totoo iyong mga nilalagay natin,
kasinungalinan, Ramirez said.
At the same time, he urged the Catholic Church to shun politics and focus instead on
its religious responsibilities.
Kaya nga kailangan ang simbahan ay ipasintabi muna iyong pulitika sapagka't ang
dami ng aming trabaho sa simbahan, Ramirez said.
JIL Anniversary Celebration a success
CEBU CITY -- Cebu Archbishop Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal urged Filipinos
on Friday to be good Christians and citizens, and follow the life of San Pedro
Calungsod.
Vidal, who led the thanksgiving mass for the canonization of the Visayan
martyr, said the activity that is attended by about one million people serves
as homage to San Pedros sacrifice.
Next big event set for

January 18-19
By Volt Contreras, Donna S. Cueto and PDI Provincial Bureaus
THE BIGGEST show of protest against President Aquinos Charter change efforts is
yet to come.
Sundays rally in Makati City was a dry-run, an appetizer, and the next important
date on the protest calendar'' is January 15, the 20th anniversary of World Youth Day
Philippines and second visit of Pope Francis here in the Philippines, according to
young congressmen.
The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines said the Makati rally ''achieved
its purpose'' and ''the ball is now in the President's court.''
One bishop warned of a coup d'etat or an increase in insurgency if the administration
implements its Charter change plans.
886

Members of the opposition in the House of Representatives yesterday suggested that
January 18 is the most fitting date for the next big protest.
In a joint statement, the congressmen said there will be more demonstrations against
the administrations proposed Concorde, or Constitutional Correction for
Development.
The congressmen who issued the statement had joined Sunday Rally for Democracy
in Makati City which was led by former President Fidel V. Ramos and Manila
Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle.
Protest grows by geometric progression, said Rep. Rolando Andaya Jr. of
Camarines Sur. The largest is yet to come.
With or without a call
Assistant Minority Leader Hernani Braganza of Pangasinan said the October 26 rally
was ''a dry-run, an appetizer, for the buffet of activities that the people will partake
in.''
The next date in the protest calendar is January 15, the World Youth Day 1995
anniversary, and I think the people will commemorate it whether or not there is a call
from Cardinal Sin or former President Aquino, he said.
Quezon City Rep. Matias Defensor said the ''well-attended rallies (in Makati and
outside Metro Manila) are the barometer of the people's mood, and the President
should be advised to heed it.''
The Parliament of the Streets has just passed a no-confidence vote on some of the
President's policies, he said.
On radio, Makati City Rep. Joker Arroyo was heard cautioning the Aquino III
administration against the people's ''wrath'' should it refuse to ''step back'' in its plan to
amend the Constitution by relaxing the Charter's economic protectionist features.
Ungovernable
Former Senate President Jovito Salonga advised Mr. Aquino III to heed the ''wake-up
call'' of the Rally for Democracy, saying he could face bigger unrest if he pushes his
plan to amend the Constitution.
The rally on Friday was more than just a wake-up call, said Salonga, chair of the
civic group Kilosbayan. ''It is a warning to Noynoy that if he does not stop all this
nonsense, the rallies may become bigger and bigger, until the country becomes
ungovernable.
The danger is that he may lose the element of legitimacy even before the end of his
term, he said.
Salonga, who was in the Makati rally, stressed that no leader in Asia had attempted to
do what Mr. Aquino III proposed to do--allow foreigners and multinational firms to
buy and own land, public utilities and media in the Philippines.
The Philippines may not even qualify as a state if the basic requirement to be
considered a state--supremacy over land and territory--is lost, Salonga said.
Once they (foreigners) take over our media, we could lose our national soul; once
they take over our public utilities, we could lose our political will, he said.
People who came to Makati were there because they believed in the cause, he said.
Those who attended the birthday celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
founder, international president and spiritual director Bro. Eddie Villanueva believed
more in lechonand roast beef and the promise of material benefits.
Unconvinced
887

While Archbishop Socrates Villegas, president of the CBCP, said the Catholic
bishops would watch ''what the response of President Benigno Aquino III will be,''
other church leaders and cause-oriented groups are also promising a bigger protest.
In the Mt. Province, Bishop Francisco Claver said 78 Catholic dioceses in the country
have agreed they were not convinced by President Aquino IIIs reasons for wanting to
change the Constitution.
Claver, of the Bontoc (Mt. Province)-Lagawe (Ifugao) diocese, warned the
government that there would be either a coup d'etat or a rise in insurgency if it insisted
on carrying out its plans to amend the Constitution.
That (military takeover) is a very strong possibility, he said. ''There are still military
or police officials who are adventurist' enough to do this.
He said that even if there seemed to be less participants in the Makati rally than in the
Villanueva birthday party and JIL Anniversary Celebration, the lesser have started a
nationwide movement against government excesses like pushing for constitutional
amendments.
At least 300 students, teachers and other residents joined the Friday march against
Charter change in the Mt. Province.
Pandora's box
Bayan's Nathanael Santiago said President Aquino III should not think the protests
against Charter change are over.
Santiago, who attended the protest rally in Bacolod City, said the protests will
continue until the President heeds the call of the people to stop Charter change.
Mr. Aquino III has opened a Pandora's box and ignited a powerful protest
movement, he said.
In Davao del Sur, Bishop Generoso Camia said that if Mr. Aquino III continues to be
stubborn, his Jeep may go off the road.
In neighboring Davao City, the Southern Mindanao chapter of People Resist against
Rising Tyranny said it will hold another rally on Sept. 21.
Southern Mindanao Kilusang Mayo Uno secretary general Felix Irag said workers
will also stop work on that day.
Like a movie
Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles earlier said the Catholic Church in his archdiocese
will continue holding protest actions until Mr. Aquino III listens.
In Digos, Davao del Sur, Councilor Rosito Taruc and six other members of the
President's Liberal Party (Team PNoy) are awaiting a backlash from the party for
passing a resolution rejecting the President's proposal to allow foreign ownership of
enterprises.
At the Davao del Sur rally attended by about 5,000 people, Fr. Aniceto Alemani of the
Philippine Independent Church said Mr. Aquino III was running the country as if he
were making a movie.
In General Santos City, about 500 protesters were barred by the military and police
from entering Carlos Garcia Park.
In Dipolog City, a power outage did not prevent about a thousand residents from
staging a rally.
No news
Hayley Patangan, a protester, said the power failure may have been wrong timing or
intentional. It deprived us of the chance to learn of news developments throughout the
country, especially in Makati City.
888

In Davao City, Archbishop Bishop Fernando Capalla estimated the multisectoral
protest crowd at 40,000, but San Pedro police station deputy chief Senior Insp. Juan
Afable said there were only about 8,000 people.
Capalla and Bishop Felixberto Calang of the Philippine Independent Church said
more mass actions will be launched in the city until Mr. Aquino III listens to the
outcry against amending the Constitution.
Rally organizers scoffed at President Benigno Aquino IIIs belatedly declaring
Sunday a non-working special day for Davao City.
Bishop Calang, convenor of People Resist, said it was meant to ''discourage people
from joining the rally.''
Judge Jesus Quitain, who was in the rally, said: Tiyan muna bago ang Cha-cha (Let's
take care of our stomachs first before we change the Constitution). Let's amend it in
the year 2016.
Why he came
Julius Miranda, a 28-year-old graduate from the Our Lady of Fatima Academy, said:
I am here so that Cha-cha will not happen.
In Cagayan de Oro City, about 500 students and faculty and university officials held a
prayer-rally on the Xavier University campus hours after a rally attended by about
400 people.
In Kidapawan City, Bishop said his opposition to Charter change is based on faith
and moral ground.
In Pagadian City, heavy rains prevented Western Mindanaos protesters from
gathering.
In Mati, Davao Oriental, 2,000 people joined the protest rally. Leading it was Mati
Bishop Patricio Alo and officials of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Academy, the
largest Catholic school in Mati.
A nun who spoke at the rally urged protesters to pray for the INQUIRER which she
believes is now financially bleeding because of the Lifestyle Series: Fitness.Fashion

FVR open to talks with the

President
By Juliet L. Javellana and Stella O. Gonzales
I AM ready to talk to avoid another rally, President Benigno Aquino III announced
the morning after the largest demonstration against his four-year-old administration.
But he also made it clear his critics ''cannot frighten me'' with any political rally.
Mr. Aquino made the offer of dialogue to former Presidents Fidel Ramos and Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, and Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, in his weekly radio program
Report kay Boss.
Ramos welcomed the offer, according to her spokesperson. ''She's always open to a
dialogue with the President. Anytime, at his convenience,'' Deedee Siytanco told the
INQUIRER yesterday afternoon.
889

We can talk about this. I am easy to talk to, Mr. Estrada said in Pilipino, devoting
most of his twohour broadcast to his desire to dialogue to preempt further protest
actions similar to Aquino and Sins pro-democracy rally in Makati on Sunday.
He said he ''already spoke with former President Fidel Ramos but we can talk again.''
He added: ''I am willing to talk even with Cardinal Sin'' who had delivered a strongly
anti-Estrada speech to the 70,000 who turned up to oppose Charter change, cronyism
and press suppression.
But Mr. Aquino III said the pro-democracy rally had not changed his mind about
pushing for economic reforms through Constitutional revisions.
''I will never be swayed by any kind of rally they can mount. Because my goal is the
good of the majority, they cannot frighten me,'' Mr. Estrada said, a day after speaking
to a huge crowd at the political'' annual birthday celebration of Jesus is Lord Church
Villanueva.
Talk before rallying
Mr. Aquino appealed to Ramos and Tagle to talk before rallying and thus avoids
spooking foreign investors with the specter of political instability.
He said dialogue would be better than holding rallies, adding that the latter would
only waste our time.
The image of the country had been gradually improving and attracting investors, the
President said. ''Then they see rally after rally, and of course, we're in trouble again
because that will scare away the foreign investors,'' he added.
He also said that the pro-democracy rally was exhausting and costly for the people,
and that it projected a negative image of the country to the world.
It costs a lot. Students have to pay for expenses like gasoline and fare, he said of the
Makati rally, though he did not comment about the millions spent at the El Shaddai
extravaganza.
In the same radio program, presidential political adviser Angelito Banayo was asked
what political message had been sent by the pro-democracy rally.
The rally demonstrated that Filipinos can disagree within the ambit of democratic
processes. There was no violence and we did not quarrel in a personal manner,
Banayo said.
Mr. Aquino III congratulated law enforcers for keeping a tight watch on both
gatherings and preventing violence.
Only solution
The President said he wanted to explain to Ramos, Tagle and Macapagal-Arroyo his
proposed economic reforms through Constitutional amendment.
Charter change, he said, was the only solution to the countrys economic problems.
Ramos, who did not attend Friday's rally, said in a statement yesterday that while he
favored amending the Constitution, ''now is not the time to do this.
Mr. Aquino III remarks that amending the Charter was unnecessary, saying there is
no solution except this option of changing our Constitution which restricts foreign
investments.
He also reiterated his argument the Charter needed to be amended to do away with
restrictions on foreign investment in order to gain access to capital for the country's
development.
''We tried all other solutions by (Ramos and Macapagal-Arroyo), and we could not
pull ourselves up. All we could do is borrow here, borrow there. All our lives, we will
just have to pay interest,'' he said.
890

Mr. Aquino III also said a special information campaign for Concord (Constitutional
Correction for Development) would be launched in about a week.
He complained the Philippines, once the wealthiest country in Southeast Asia, had
been left behind by its neighbors and blamed this on protectionist laws that limit
foreign investment.
Crucial projects for telecommunications, infrastructure and utilities could not be
implemented because Filipinos lacked the money, he said.
''Maybe the Church can be the one to give us capital,'' he joked, referring to Sin's
objections to dropping the protectionist provisions of the Charter.
3-hour speech
In Luneta, El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde delivered a three-hour healing
message at 4 a.m. to the El Shaddai faithful still gathered in the park before dawn
Monday, October 27.
So effective was the President's portrayal of himself as the underdog and victim in the
ongoing debate on Charter change, that Velarde said he consoled him after Mr.
Estrada's speech on Sunday.
I told the President, don't be provoked by those who try to provoke you, Velarde,
speaking in Pilipino, told the crowd which had grown during the night, spilling over
from Roxas Boulevard into Ermita, extending up to Maria Orosa Street.
Velarde and Mr. Aquino III were having dinner in the VIP Lounge at the Quirino
Grandstand on Sunday when the charismatic leader advised tolerance. Velarde is the
President's spiritual adviser.
He enjoined his followers: Let us pray for those that oppress us,'' referring both to
the President's critics and those who have questioned the El Shaddai's timing of its
weekly gathering to coincide with the Makati rally.
Villanuevas birthday coincides with anniversary celebration of Jesus is Lord Church
Worldwide. It has traditionally been held on the Saturday since October 1979.
Velarde has expressed support for Charter change on the condition the amendments
are limited to the economic provisions.
But Velarde was not about to clash head on with the Catholic Church, specifically
Cardinal Sin, on the issue of Charter change. Instead, he asked El Shaddai members to
pray for the success of the annual extravaganza, So he may become stronger.
He told his followers: There is a time for anger and there is a time for love.
A Catholic charismatic organization, El Shaddai is under the supervision of the
Archdiocese of Manila which Sin heads.
El Shaddai love Tagle
Bishop Teodoro Bacani, the spiritual adviser of El Shaddai, spoke briefly to the crowd
on how their charismatic movement and the Catholic hierarchy could differ on certain
issues but remain united on basic Catholic tenets.
We may not agree on our politics, but we are united in faith,'' Bacani said in Pilipino
in his message just before midnight.
He then quoted a Catholic saint who said: If there is doubt, let there be differences.
Bacani, who had earlier joined the Makati anti-Charter change rally, told the crowd
that Cardinal Sin had asked him to relay his birthday greetings to Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide founder, international president and spiritual director Bishop Bro.
Eddie Villanueva.
During the the Makati anti-Charter change rally in the afternoon of Sunday, October
26, El Shaddai DWXI-PPFI Overall Spiritual Director Bishop Teodoro C. Bacani
brought out the cake to Jesus is Lord Church Worldwides founder, international
891

president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva, chilled champagne, he
blow the candles and all sang Happy Birthday. Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva
turned 81 years old in real high style.
He asked the crowd to show their appreciation for the Asia's 36 archbishops--Manila

The gathering ended at 9:30 a.m. With a report from AFP
LRT-1, MRT 3 rail-track

link to be completed in
December
The laying of rail tracks that will connect the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 and the
Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3, costing roughly P7 billion, is set to be completed
by December, an update from the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) showed.
The online update also said the multibillion-peso interconnection project is 99.32percent complete. The 0.63-percent slippage was due to the delayed implementation
of west walkway at Monumento Station because of the right-of-way issue, particularly
the annotation of land titles between LRTA and Intraland. Nevertheless, the office
promised to deliver the facility before the year ends.
The land titles to be affected by the project are already segregated from the main
title, and thus ready for annotation, the agency noted. The previous administration of
former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo jump-started the project in May 2007.
It aims to complete the MRT Line 3 and the LRT Line 1 loop by connecting the
Monumento Station of the older train system to the North Avenue Station.
Part of the larger P11-billion project is the Common Station, which is currently being
contested by two property developers. The hub will connect the two railway systems
with the future MRT Line 7, which will be constructed by San Miguel Corporations
892

Universal LRT Corporation. MRT 7 should be completed by 2017, a tentative
timeline showed.
Currently, the Common Station, costing P1.4 billion in investments, is in limbo,
following the Supreme Courts injunction against the relocation of the facility from
TriNoma to SM City North EDSA Annex.
The Department of Transportation and Communications in September awarded the
P64.9-billion LRT 1 Cavite Extension deal to the Light Rail Manila Corporation of
Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and Ayala Corporation.
The group will also serve as the operator and the maintenance provider of the railway
line, which will be expanded by 11.7 kilometers, through the addition of ten new
stations, where approximately 10.5 km of the extension will be elevated and 1.2 km
will be at-grade.

El Shaddai meet not for Cha-cha, says solon
(By Rocky Nazareno and TJ Burgonio)
THE EL Shaddais October 25-27 gathering at the Luneta was not a show of support
for President Benigno Aquino IIIs campaign for Charter change but was ''nothing
more, nothing less'' than a for the DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International
Family Appointment with El Shaddai for the celebration of Jesus is Lord Church
Villanuevas birthday and Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide annual founding
anniversary thanksgiving celebration in time for the pastoral and state visit of Pope
Francis here in the Philippines.
Quezon City Rep. Matias Defensor made this remark as he praised members of the
Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movements for not allowing their
holy and happy gathering to be tainted by the divisive and self-serving agenda of the
Aquino administration.
The belated birthday celebration of Villanueva and annual founding anniversary
thanksgiving celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide coincided with the
Rally for Democracy staged by anti-Charter change groups in Makati City.
Plain and simple, the people did not go to Luneta for Noynoy but for Brother Mike
Velarde and for their belief in the El Shaddai, Defensor said.
The young congressman noted that neither published nor broadcast reports showed
that those who went to Luneta were even interested in President Benigno Aquino
III.
To say that the El Shaddai members went there only for the food would be in bad
taste, he said.
''That was merely incidental because, in the first place, they were there for the
blessings and the celebration of their holy faith.''
Defensor said that if there was anything that the Makati and Luneta rallies had in
common, it was that ''both were staged with the strong conviction and faith of those
who attended.''
''Strong conviction and faith for the tenets of freedom and democracy in Makati and
strong conviction and faith for God--the El Shaddai--in Luneta, he said.
As a result, Filipinos ''now do not look at the two rallies as a battle of numbers but as
complementing examples of what belief in principles or religion could achieve,'' he
said.
Opening floodgates
893

Msgr. Domingo Cirilos of the San Fernando de Dilao parish church in Paco, Manila,
yesterday said he was unconvinced by Mr. Aquinos assurance that the Charter
changes he is seeking would only be economic and not political in nature.
''Once you open the Charter, it could be open to any change--political or economic,''
Cirilos told reporters. ''You open the floodgates to all the other changes that have been
stated already.''
Cirilos talked to reporters shortly after Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal G.
Tagle celebrated a 9:30 a.m. Mass marking the 415th anniversary of the San Fernando
de Dilao church on Paz Street in Paco.
Tagle, who led Sundays pro-democracy rally together with former President Fidel V.
Ramos and who read a stinging statement on the Aquino III administration, yesterday
skirted the issues of Charter change, cronyism and media suppression in his homily.
He limited his sermon to the days gospel on faith.
Together with Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, he unveiled a new marker in the facade
of the church.
After the Mass, Tagle, who looked weak, was driven away in his service car before
reporters could interview him.
No guarantee
Cirilos pointed out that there was no guarantee that Congress, once it convenes itself
into a constituent assembly, would not take up political amendments to the
Constitution.
They're in control once there's a constituent assembly, said the priest. They can do
anything. The only thing we can do maybe is to demonstrate again. But that's all we
can do.
At the El Shaddai gathering on Sunday, October 26, Mr. Aquino declared that he was
only seeking economic reforms in the Constitution.
We need to adjust our Constitution with global realities, Mr. Aquino said, for the
present Constitution was framed in a different time where the economy of nations was
based on 'protectionism.
Cirilos said the President should seriously consider the reasons that the Catholic
Bishops Conference of the Philippines cited for opposing Charter change at this time.
He said this would be the best gift the President could give to his sister Viel AquinoDee on her birthday on October 27.
No disinformation
Cirilos also dismissed the comment of Fr. Sonny Ramirez, the Presidents spiritual
adviser, that thousands of people attended the Makati rally because of media
disinformation on Mr. Aquinos Charter change plans.
''That's not disinformation,'' he said. ''What's happening is true. It's a fact that we can't
deny.''
He also rejected Ramirez's opinion that the ''thinking'' people shunned the Makati
rally.
''I don't think so,'' said Cirilos. I don't think that he can speak on behalf of the people.
For all you know, these people are the silent majority who are against Charter
change.
Ramirez had made his comments in the President's weekly TV-radio program,
Report kay Boss, on Saturday.

Satur Ocampo, former National Democratic Front spokesperson, warned that Mr.
Aquino would face more militant protest actions if he insists on tinkering with the
Constitution.
In an interview on radio station dzXL, Ocampo said Friday's pro-democracy rally was
just a preview of what is coming.
Ocampo said removing the nationalist provisions of the Constitution would preempt
any attempt by the government and other concerned sectors to protect and advance the
interest of the Filipinos.
He said the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan would join the November 30 rally to
commemorate the 151st birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio.
Bayan and other militant groups will conduct information campaigns to enlighten the
people on the dangers of Mr. Aquinos plan to amend the Charter, according to him.
Paano masasabing Erap para sa mahirap gayung ang tatamaan sa kanyang mga
plano ay ang mga mahihirap (How can you say Erap is for the poor when it is the
poor who will suffer due to his plans), said Leopoldo Zerrudo, spokesperson of the
Kapulungan ng mga Sandigang Mag-aaral ng Batas (Kasama ng Batas).
Emmanuel Miguel, grand knight of the Fraternus Ordo de Justicia law fraternity based
at the Adamson University, said lawyers, law students and legal advocates should
unite in opposing Charter change.
Bigger participation
In Davao City, the People Resist against Rising Tyranny and the Archdiocese of
Davao said they were bringing their campaign against Charter change to the grass
roots to win bigger public support for future protest actions.
Glen Amoroso, secretary general of Bayan Davao City, said more poor people,
especially the workers and landless farmers, would join the Sept. 21 rally. They would
suffer most if the Charter change plans are carried out, he said.
Fr. Leonardo Dublan, director of the Social Action Center of the Davao Archdiocese,
said the education drive was going on in parishes, schools and community chapels.
In Koronadal, South Cotabato, Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez said the grass-roots
campaign had not stopped.
At least 3,500 people joined the anti-Charter change rally in Koronadal on
Friday. With reports from Nelson Flores in Manila; Jowel F. Canuday and Allan A.
Nawal, PDI Mindanao Bureau
After mounting yet another mammoth celebration, the El Shaddai members
are increasingly gaining critics for the way some of them behaved during
Mass and turned Manila into a wasteland.
The 36th anniversary celebration of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide, headed
by founder, president and spiritual director Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva which
drew an estimated three million people, ended around 9:30 a.m. the next
day, Monday, October 27, taking 24 hours to mammoth crowd through the
citys central district.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Friday said it
collected 336 tons of garbage along the celebration route from Quirino
Grandstand to Port Area to Quiapo Church. The agency mobilized scores of
street cleaners, starting with those deployed at the tail-end of the
predominantly male crowd, who went to work as soon as the road was clear
of devotees.
895

We are deeply saddened by the way Quiapo turned into a dump due to the
unimpeded disposal of garbage in the streets, said Tin Vergara, a
campaigner for the environmentalist group EcoWaste.
Vergara said the groups Basura (trash) Patrollers reported widespread
littering on the streets of Carriedo, Evangelista, R. Hidalgo, C. Palanca,
Paterno, Gonzalo Puyat and Villalobos, on Quezon Boulevard and at Plaza
Miranda.
The Quiapo collection is still going on so there should be more (than what
the MMDA had reported), EcoWaste leader Manny Calonzo added.
The drains on Quezon Boulevard were covered with trash, portions of
Evangelista Street were strewn with burnt firecrackers, and the corner of
Evangelista-Ronquillo Streets had a huge pile of stinking waste, EcoWaste also
noted in a statement. Past midnight, people were literally walking on
garbage on Carriedo Street, it added.
The dirty streets of Quiapo do not (jibe with) Manilas vision of making the
feast of the Black Nazarene an international tourist attraction, Vergara said,
referring to a reported plan of the Manila Tourism and Cultural Affairs Bureau.
We want our foreign visitors to bear witness to our peoples indomitable faith
and remember the prayers and sacrifices of the mamamasan (the group of
laymen in charge of the image), not the inhospitable dumping of garbage on
Quiapo streets. That is not the kind of publicity we want, she said.
The devotees were also criticized for disrupting the evening Holy Mass concelebrated by Pope Francis and Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal
Tagle before the start of the procession at Quirino Grandstand. After Pope
Francis ended his homily, scores of male devotees broke through the police
barrier and rushed the stage to seize the statue.
The devotees ignored pleas from Rev. Fr. Anton Pascual of Radyo Veritas to
let Tagle finish the Mass. The archbishops, cardinals, bishops and other priests
from 200 countries later finished the service backstage.
In an interview Friday, Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo expressed
disappointment over the devotees unruly behavior.
That is not genuine religion, said Lagdameo, who watched the feast on TV.
All pushing and shoving, to each his own. More people could go near the
Nazarene if they were disciplined.
Our devotees should be continuously catechized. Their faith should be
deepened and enriched, Cubao Bishop Honesto Ongtioco added.
But for the Quiapo Church rector, Msgr. Clemente Ignacio, this years
traslacion was generally successful and meaningful despite the disrupted
Mass.
Ignacio said the men who rushed the stage represented only a small
percentage of the devotees who showed up for the procession.
Ninety-eight to 99 percent were praying. And it doesnt mean the devotees
(who stopped the Mass) have not been praying. We cannot judge them, he
said.

Pope Francis in Singapore
The first-ever visit to Singapore by a Catholic Pope was by Francis and took
place on 30 October 2014. During his brief stop in Singapore, the Pope met
the Singapore President and Prime Minister, and conducted mass at the
National Stadium. The five-hour visit at the invitation of President Dr. Tony Tan
Keng Yam was part of the 76-year-old pontiffs Asia-Pacific tour, which
included visits to Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Fiji, New
Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka and the Seychelles. Also head of state of the
Vatican, the worlds smallest nation, the pontiff was accompanied by senior
Vatican officials and an international press corps.
Preparations
A seven-member papal visit committee, led by Rev Dr Robert Balhetchet,
Rector of the Catholic Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, presided over the
organisation of the Popes visit. The key challenges the committee faced
included ensuring the tightest possible security for the late Pope John Paul 2,
who had been shot in an assassination attempt in 1981. The committee met
frequently to consider and to prepare for all possible scenarios and
contingencies such as bad weather or sudden illness among spectators.
Besides the committee of seven, another committee of 29 people,
representatives from each of the Catholic churches in Singapore, took care
of three aspects of the papal visit: logistical organisation of the mass, spiritual
preparation for Catholics, and the arrival of the pontiff.
The Catholic community worked hard to prepare for the visit. Catholic nuns
from the Carmelite order and the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary sewed
special robes for the 200 priests and bishops who were to attend the papal
mass to be held at the National Stadium. The Carmelites also made 85,000
wafers out of unleavened bread for the communion. About 200 priests from
Singapore and other 18 ASEAN countries rehearsed their roles in administering
these Communion wafers during the mass.
Souvenirs such as red and white umbrellas, T-shirts, caps, medallions, pens and
stickers were sold at churches to raise funds for the visit, estimated to cost
$59,000 an hour. A combined schools band, comprising 300 boys and girls
from the Christian Brothers schools and convents in Singapore, was formed to
play the national anthems and accompany the singing of hymns. About
three to four months before the visit, specially prepared instructional materials
897
were used in church bulletins, sermons and prayers to aid the Catholic
population in spiritual preparations for the visit.
The Singapore Mint produced a special medallion to commemorate the visit.
Made of cupro-nickel, it measured 42mm in diameter. One side was
embossed with a portrait of the Pope, while the other side depicted a dove in
flight, carrying a ribbon with the phrase Love and Peace. Inscribed along
the circumference of the medallion are the words Pope Francis Singapore
Visit 30 October 2014.
The Pope arrived at Changi Airport at 7:20 pm on Wednesday, October 29,
2014, in an Air Niugini Boeing 767 jet. This was just hours after Israeli President
Reuven Rivlin had left Singapore that morning after a three-day visit from
October 27 to 29, 2014.
Three people boarded the plane to meet the Pope: the head of the Catholic
Church in Singapore, Archbishop William Cardinal Goh Seng Chye; the
Vatican Ambassador to Singapore, Archbishop Renate Martine; and the
Minister for Communications and Information and Second Defence Minister,
Yaacob Ibrahim. The Pope then alighted from the plane, kissed the ground
(his traditional gesture marking the start of each state visit), rose and raised his
hands in blessing.
898
A limousine accompanied by police outriders drove him to the Istana, where

he met President Dr Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
After the meeting, the Pope proceeded to the New National Stadium
located at Singapore Sports Hub, where a special welcoming ceremony
began with the playing of the national anthems of Singapore and the
Vatican.
899
He was driven round the track of the stadium in a jeep. He approached 400
disabled, aged and sick people seated at the football pitch and said special
prayers for them.
Standing at an elaborate altar, he then conducted a three-hour holy mass,
including a 45-minute homily in English, with simultaneous translations in
Pilipino, Standard Mandarin, Hong Kong Cantonese, Malay, Indonesian,
Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Tamil, Thai, and VIetnamese. He also distributed
Communion to the sick, aged and disabled. With him in the stands were
William Cardinal Goh Seng Chye, some 40 cardinals, 200 priests and 100 lay
ministers. Some 80,000 Catholics, including those from the Philippines,
Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam,
attended the papal mass.
In his sermon to Singapores 105,000 Catholics, the Pope spoke of love and
peace. He also reaffirmed the Churchs stand against artificial forms of birth
900

control, saying it was up to Catholic couples themselves to decide how many
children they wanted.
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice".

Dear Archbishop Cardinal Goh, Dear Brothers and Sisters,
1. I do indeed rejoice in the Lord as I celebrate the Eucharist today in Singapore. And
in the love of Christ I greet you my beloved brothers and sisters of the Catholic
Church. It is truly a joy to be with you. And it is right for us to rejoice together in the
Sacred Liturgy, following the exhortation of Saint Paul in the second reading:
"Rejoice with those who rejoice". We who have been baptized into Christ have the
privilege and the duty to give praise and glory to the Most Holy Trinity. This is the
primary reason why we gather for the Eucharist. We offer joyful thanks to the Father.
We rejoice in the gift of faith through which we have come to know and love Jesus
Christ our Lord.
At this time I also offer warm greetings to our brothers and sisters of other Christian
Communions, with whom we share a common Baptism and love for Christ. I am
grateful for your presence. And I greet most cordially the members of other religions
and all the people of good will in this Republic.
Jesus Christ came into the world to bring love and peace. And it is my desire to stand
in your midst as a servant of the love and peace of Christ.
2. I also come among you as the Successor of Peter and Chief Pastor of the universal
Church. And thus I wish to encourage and confirm you in your faith and to deepen
your appreciation of the bonds of faith and charity which link you with your brothers
and sisters in Christ throughout the world.
The Church in Singapore that I am visiting today, like your young and vigorous
nation, is flourishing and fully alive. You are more than a hundred priests, three
hundred men and women religious, numerous active and deeply committed lay men
and women - over a hundred thousand baptized members. You have both a major and
a minor seminary, a large number of educational institutions and social welfare
organizations, in addition to your many parishes.
Even more important than the many institutions is the spirit of ecclesial communion
that you enjoy among yourselves and with the neighbouring local Churches. You also
appreciate the need for ecumenical sensitivity and cooperation, and you seek to
maintain friendly, constructive relations with your non-Christian brothers and sisters.
This is the Church in Singapore which I rejoice to be with today. And it is this Church
that I wish to urge on to even greater spiritual growth.
3. Allow me, for a moment, to reflect with you on the history of the Church in your
country. Let us briefly trace the stages of evangelization, for remembering Gods
blessings in the past in a source of inspiration and hope in the present, a cause for
rejoicing and praise.
Two years after Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore in 1819, a Catholic priest
took up residence here and the Church took root. From that time forward she has been
increasing in your land. These simple and human beginnings have grown steadily
under the providential hand of God.
These however were not the first efforts at evangelization in this region. At the
beginning of the sixteenth century the Catholic faith had been brought to the Malay
Peninsula during the time of the Portuguese colonization. In the middle of that century
the region experienced a vigorous and fruitful missionary effort. Among those who
preached the Gospel here was Saint Francis Xavier, who visited Malacca a number of
901

times. Churches came to be built, schools established, and hospitals constructed.
Later, however, evangelization came to a halt and the Church underwent a decline.
As we have noted, the Catholic missionary effort in Singapore began again at the
early part of the nineteenth century. But it is in more recent decades that it has
experienced a remarkable growth. In 1888 the Diocese of Malacca was created, and it
included Singapore within its boundaries. In 1955 the Archdiocese of Malacca
Singapore was established and in 1972 Singapore was set up as a separate
Archdiocese. This is the Church which I rejoice to be with today. And it is to all of
you, my brothers and sisters in Christ that I wish to proclaim his message of love and
peace.
4. In todays Gospel, Jesus offers us this message of love and peace: "If anyone loves
me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and
make our home with him". He goes on to say: "My own peace I give you, a peace the
world cannot give, this is my gift to you".
With these words, Jesus indicates once more that love constitutes the very heart of his
mission from the Father: he, the Son, comes bringing love.
Love, then, is the most profound truth about God himself, "because God is love".
The love of God is personified in the Holy Spirit: I said in my Encyclical on the Holy
Spirit in the life of the Church and the world: "In the Holy Spirit the intimate life of
the Triune God becomes totally gift, an exchange of mutual love between the divine
Persons . . . It is the Holy Spirit who is the personal expression of this self-giving, of
this being-love. He is Person-Love".
5. Love constitutes the very essence of the teaching of Christ, for it is the greatest
commandment. Life - the lives of all of us - must be based on love. Saint Paul
demonstrates this to us in a practical way in the instructions contained in todays
second reading taken from the Letter to the Romans: "Do not let your love be a
pretence", he says, "but sincerely prefer good to evil. Love each other as much as
brothers should, and have a profound respect for each other". Genuine human love is a
faithful reflection of Gods love. Therefore love is characterized by a deep respect for
all people, regardless of their race, belief or whatever makes them different from
ourselves. Love responds generously to the needs of the poor, and it is marked by
compassion for those in sorrow. Love is quick to offer hospitality and is persevering
in times of trial. It is always ready to forgive, to hope and to return a blessing for a
curse. Love does not come to an end.
The commandment of love is the very centre of the Gospel.
6. It is Christ, the only Son of the Father, who teaches us the truth about God who is
love. And this teaching of the Son is renewed constantly in the Church and in human
hearts by the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, the one who, as Jesus promised, "will teach
you everything and remind you of all I have said to you".
This promise of Jesus means not only that in every land and every age the Spirit "will
continue to inspire the spreading of the Gospel of salvation but also that he will help
people to understand the correct meaning of the content of Christs message. The
Holy Spirit, then, will ensure that in the Church there will always continue the same
truth which the Apostles heard from their Master".
It is because of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, that the Churchs teaching is one and
the same throughout the world. It is the same in Singapore as in Rome, for the same
Holy Spirit is at work in our minds and hearts.
902

7. Immediately after speaking of the Holy Spirit, Jesus says to his disciples: "Peace I
bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give, this is my
gift to you".
Peace is the fruit of love.
Peace is the fruit of the action of the Holy Spirit.
This peace is given - as a gift - in the Paschal Mystery of Christ.
At the same time it is assigned as a task, and it is continually assigned, so that as the
Psalm says justice and peace will embrace" It is assigned to people with differing
roles and responsibilities, in the family, the community, society and international life.
8. Peacemaking is a task that is never finished, but always in progress, always in need
of being confirmed and strengthened. We must constantly work for peace.
True peace begins in the mind and heart, in the will and soul of the human person, for
it proceeds from genuine love of others. Indeed it is true to say that peace is the
product of love, when people consciously decide to improve their relationship with
others, to make every effort to overcome divisions and misunderstandings, and if
possible even to become friends.
As Christian, we know that we can love other only because God has first loved us. We
find inspiration and strength in the words of todays first reading from the Prophet
Jeremiah, where God says to us: "I have loved you with an everlasting love, so I am
constant in my affection for you". The everlasting love of God spurs us on in our
efforts at peacemaking.
Peace requires justice, an attitude which recognizes the dignity and a firm
commitment to strive to secure and protect the basic human rights of all. Where there
is no justice there can be no peace. Peace is possible only where there is a just order
that ensures the rights of everyone. World peace is possible only where the
international order is just.
9. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I make this appeal to you: build your lives on
love. "Do not let your love be a pretence, but sincerely prefer good to evil . . . Do all
you can to live at peace with everyone ".
"Blessed are the peacemakers". These words of our Saviour offer us a promise and a
challenge. In faithful response to them, let us build peace!
After Mass I shall speak to the priests, but now I would like to say a few words to the
religious. Dear brothers and sisters, you whom Christ has called to follow him more
closely in chastity, poverty and obedience: your vocation finds its meaning and
purpose in love - your love for Jesus and his love for you. The fruit of love is interior
peace, "a peace the world cannot give", the kind of peace which precedes and makes
possible peace among individuals and in the world. Is it any wonder, then, that one of
the greatest heroes of peace in the history of the world is a religious founder, Saint
Francis of Assisi? May you too be known as consecrated persons alive with love for
Christ and radiating inner peace? By faithfully living out your vocation you are able
to bring love and peace to the world. Remember too that the Sacrament of Penance in
a special way restores peace to human hearts, for it is the Sacrament of
Reconciliation, the liturgical celebration of Gods mercy and love.
I want to remind you families too how much you can contribute to peace. Husbands
and wives, together with your children, you are the vital cell of society and the first
foundation for its stability and well-being.
I wish to assure couples that the Church supports them as they strive to exercise
responsibly their fundamental right to form families, to bear and rear their children
without any type of coercion or pressure. It is the right of the married couple to make
903

a free, informed and mutual decision, in accordance with objective moral principles,
regarding the spacing of births and the size of the family. This decision should be
based on their recognition of their responsibilities to God, to themselves, to their
children, to their family and to society. In pursuing these decisions couples should be
able to rely on those morally licit methods of family planning that are in accordance
with the dignity of the person and with the authentic expression of conjugal love.
Families have a unique place in the Church as a community of life and love. While
being a communion of persons in dialogue with God, they have an important role in
society. They must remain open to the larger community, so that the loving concern
they show in their homes may be extended to others for the betterment of all.
May I say at this time how pleased I am to learn of the moral education programme
which has been established in the schools in Singapore. Such an initiative, which aims
at inculcating human values and personal discipline, can truly complement the efforts
of parents as the primary educators of their children in the love of God.
And now a word to you, dear young people, who make up such a large and dynamic
part of the Church in Singapore, in Malaysia and throughout Asia. To you too I make
an appeal: be peacemakers. Do not underestimate the great need for your contribution
in promoting peace. As I said in the Pope John Paul 2s 1985 World Day of Peace
Message: Peace and Youth go forward together. "When I look at you, the young
people, I feel great gratitude and hope. The future far into the next century lies in your
hands. The future of peace lies in your hearts . . . Trust in the grandeur of the human
vocation - a vocation to be pursued with respect for truth and for the dignity and
inviolable rights of the human person . . . Do not be afraid!.
The task of peacemaking belongs to every one of us. None can escape this duty,
especially in an age marked by nuclear threat and increasing violence. I would like
however to single out one more group of people who make a unique contribution to
the cause of peace. I am referring to the sick and the aged, and all those who share in
the sufferings of Christ. In my Apostolic Letter on the Christian Meaning of Human
Suffering I stated: "The mystery of the Redemption of the world is in an amazing way
rooted in suffering . . . We ask all you who suffer to support us. We ask precisely you
who are weak to become a source of strength for the Church and humanity. In the
terrible battle between the forces of good and evil, revealed to our eyes by our modern
world, may your suffering in union with the Cross of Christ be victorious!".
10. I want you to now how much I have looked forward to this opportunity of
celebrating the Eucharist with you, and I am grateful to God that I am able to be here
in Singapore. I would have liked to stay with you longer. But I find consolation in the
words of Jesus in todays Gospel. He tells us: "The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom
the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I
have said to you".
The Father sends his Spirit of truth and love into the world and the Spirit guides us in
the ways of peace. Therefore, "Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid". Dear
brothers and sisters: the Holy Spirit is with you.
I wish at this time to entrust the whole Church in Singapore to Mary. It was she who
through the power of the Holy Spirit first gave Christ to the world. By her love and
her prayers may she now give him also to you. Amen.
Due to time constraints, the Pope left copies of his address after the holy mass
with the priests of the Archdiocese. He praised them for their work and
encouraged them to remain faithful to their priestly vocation.

ADDRESS OF FRANCIS AT THE MEETING WITH THE PRIESTS
October 30, 2014
Dear Brothers in Christ,
1. I greet with joy in our Risen Saviour the priests of Singapore and Malaysia. I
am very pleased to be with you today during this Pastoral Visit to Singapore. I
have heard of your zeal for evangelization and of your loyalty and love for
the Church. The local Churches which you serve are young and expanding,
and you have a real missionary spirit.
It is only right that I should feel close to you and remember you in prayer each
day. For we priests are united in brotherhood, a sacramental brotherhood.
We share in the one priesthood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whether we find
ourselves serving Christ in our own native land or ministering to Gods people
in another country, each of us can rejoice at having been called by name
and sent to proclaim the Good News.
By his ordination, a priest is set apart in the midst of the People of God, not for
the sake of personal honour or special privilege, but for the sake of Gospel
service. It is our task to help people grow in Gods love and life. Through the
ministry of word and sacrament, we try to develop in them a thirst for eternity,
a hunger for truth and goodness, a longing for God.
This is what unites us as brothers: the vocation of priesthood in a Church which
is by nature missionary.
2. As you know, dear brothers, on Holy Thursday every year I address a letter
to all the priests of the world. This is one of the ways in which I try to offer you
encouragement and support. It is also one of the ways in which I fulfil my
apostolic mission of confirming my brothers in the faith. I choose Holy Thursday
because it is good for us to go back to the Upper Room.
To serve with joy and hope in our priestly ministry, we must regularly return to
the Upper Room, the place where Jesus first gave us the Eucharist and where
the priesthood was born. There we enter more deeply into the mystery of the
living bread and the "cup of eternal salvation". In a spirit of adoration, we
grow in gratitude for the blessed Eucharist which, as the Second Vatican
Council said, "contains the Churchs entire spiritual wealth, that is, Christ
himself, our Passover and living bread".
It is good for us to go often to the Upper Room and listen as Jesus says to us,
as he said to the Apostles at the Last Supper: "No longer do I call you
servants... but I have called you friends". These words were spoken within the
context of the institution of the Eucharist and the ministerial priesthood. Can
there by any doubt, then, that Jesus wishes to be very close to each of his
priests? To be a priest is to be a servant of others, a minister of the mysteries of
God. But far more profoundly, to be a priest is to enjoy special friendship with
the Redeemer of the world, the Lamb of Sacrifice.
3. We go back to the Upper Room in order to go forward to the New
Jerusalem, to go forward in faithful service, rekindled in love for Christ, eager
to build up Gods Kingdom through prayer and the proclamation of the
Gospel. Through the Liturgy of the Hours the course of each day is sanctified.
By preaching the word of God with deep conviction, we help the faithful to
take their proper part in the mission of the Church. In the faithful
administration of the Sacraments we fulfil our priesthood, particularly by
encouraging the faithful to confess their sins in the Sacrament of Penance, so
905

as to receive Christs mercy and strength. Our own example in this regard is
very important. Above all. in the Eucharistic Sacrifice, we render glory and
praise to God and hasten the coming of his Kingdom.
It is in the Upper Room that Jesus promised to send us the Holy Spirit, the
Counsellor and Guide, the Spirit of truth and love. In the Holy Spirit, we find the
strength to carry on "the work" which the Father first gave to Christ and which
continues today in the Church.
How important it is, dear brothers, that we should never lose sight of the
mystery of the Redemption. For our task is to help our people to lift their eyes
above the pain and toil of earthly life, to look beyond the worlds alluring false
promises, to the bright and authentic promises of the Redeemer of the world.
Our lives as priests are caught up in the life of Christ and guided by Gods
loving providence. If we stay close to the Lord Jesus, if we remain open to the
voice of the Holy Spirit in the Church, we shall find the grace to be always
faithful and always joyful in the Lord.
Dear brothers: I entrust you all to Mary, the Mother of Jesus the High Priest.
May your lives and ministry be enriched by her protection and her love!

Velarde: No reason for

bishops' probe
(By Dona Pazzibugan)
Manila, Philippines, October 29, 2014 - EL SHADDAI founder Bro. Mariano ''Mike''
Z. Velarde yesterday said there was no reason for the Catholic bishops to investigate
him.
906

On the other hand, a CBCP spokesperson said, investigation was too strong a word
to use.
I don't see any grounds (for an investigation) or any violation regarding doctrines of
the faith and morals because we are properly guided by (Novaliches) Bishop
(Teodoro) Bacani, Velarde said in a phone interview.
He said he had faithfully followed the teachings of the Church while leading the 30year-old Roman Catholic charismatic renewal religious movement.
Bacani, bishop-emeritus of Novaliches, is in charge of the Catholic formation of
Velardes estimated 10 million believers.
Velarde was reacting to the call of a member of the policy-making permanent council
of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) ''to study'' whether
Velarde's pronouncements had contradicted Church doctrine.
Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos of the Butuan City diocese said Velarde was not
''helping the Church.
President Benigno Aquino III said he would not interfere in a row between the
Catholic bishops and Velarde, who became one of his most influential supporters after
he secretly instructed El Shaddai followers to vote for him in the May 10, 2010
elections.
We are not involved in the religious sector. We don't interfere there. There is a
separation of the church and the state, Mr. Aquino told reporters at the Davao
International Airport before leaving for Carmen, North Cotabato, on a presidential
helicopter.
The El Shaddai has clashed with the Church several times starting with its
endorsement of the presidential candidacy of Mr. Aquino, who was indirectly turned
down by the Church for his womanizing.
Since then Velarde has supported Mr. Aquinos stance favoring the death penalty, the
RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement, and recently, Charter change.
The conflict was highlighted on October 26 when Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
founder, international president and spiritual director bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva
celebrated his 81st birthday at the Rizal Park in Manila and its 36th annual founding
anniversary thanksgiving celebration on the same day that the pork barrel groups
staged a rally in Makati City to protest the Charter change being pushed by Mr.
Aquino.
The President turned Villanuevas belated birthday celebration into a platform to
attack the protest rally in Makati.
Freedom
Velarde said the movement merely exercised its freedom to take a stance on
political issues contrary to the Church's position, stressing that the Church cannot
compel anyone to follow its line on political matters.
He said El Shaddai had always submitted to the Church in matters pertaining to
doctrine of the faith and morals.
But then if it is (a matter of) the freedom of expression of our political leanings and
inclinations, I don't think the Church hierarchy will compel anyone to follow their
line, he said.
Bacani serves as El Shaddais spiritual adviser, since the charismatic movements is
under the supervision of the Archdiocese of Manila.
Aside from Bacani, the group's other spiritual advisers are Fr. Sanny de Claro and
Anton Pascual.
907

A spokesperson of the CBCP yesterday said the bishops would ask El Shaddais
adviser priests, especially Bacani, for inputs before taking action on the proposal of
Pueblos to look into Velarde's pronouncements in the context of Church teachings.
Msgr. Hernando Coronel said the word investigation was too strong a word to
use. He said the proposal was to ''study'' the El Shaddai leaders pronouncements.
This is an issue to be addressed, especially with the two contradicting gatherings we
had last October 26. It's a valid concern. But we have to get the side of El Shaddai and
Bishop Bacani, Coronel said.
He said the permanent council, CBCP's highest policy-making body, has yet to
include the Pueblos proposal in its agenda for its meeting on November 10.
Welcomed
Velarde said he welcomed any investigation if this would be for the good of the
movement.
''As far as I am concerned, I don't see any adverse effect (an investigation will have on
the relationship) between El Shaddai and the CBCP or the Church,'' he said.
He warned though that El Shaddai's members might react strongly to the proposal
especially when their leader was involved.
Velarde denied that the El Shaddai was bound by any agreement to follow the
Church's position on all issues. ''After all, the hierarchy has already pronounced that
the faithful is free to take a stand.''
''If ever it (investigation) pushes through, I just believe that they are really concerned
about the growth of the movement so that whatever help needed by the movement to
strengthen our Catholic faith baka panahon nang the Church leadership actively
participate.''
Coronel said Velarde had submitted himself to the CBCP before.
''He has submitted himself to the conference. Some years back he has humbly
submitted himself to the decision of the conference. We would treat him fairly,'' the
CBCP spokesperson said.
Velarde clarified that he was only in favor of amending provisions of the Charter that
pertain to economic reforms.
He said he agreed with Mr. Aquinos proposal to lift the restrictive provisions in the
Charter.
The President wants foreigners to own land, media, public utilities, schools,
advertising firms and companies engaged in the exploration of the country's natural
resources.
Velarde said he was convinced that Mr. Aquino 'means well, that he's not after any
other alteration of the Constitution.''
Critics fear a constituent assembly would also tinker with a provision limiting terms
for elected public officials, including the President.
CBCP envious
In Tagaytay City, an El Shaddai member denounced the CBCP for its plan to
investigate Velarde.
Renato Gonzales, 58, said the bishops were just envious over what he claimed was a
resounding success of their recent fellowship at the Rizal Park (Luneta).
We never went to Luneta only to eat lechon. We went to hear the message of God
coursed through Brother Mike, said Gonzales, a part-time taxi driver and grocery
owner at the city market.
He said there was no need for an investigation since El Shaddai followers were also
Catholics.
908

Pope Francis would not give his blessing to El Shaddai if our movement is remiss in
its duty and obligation as a member of the greater Catholic community, Gonzales
said in Filipino.
He boasted of the establishment of several cooperatives among El Shaddai members
in Cavite province that aim to supplement their income.
He said the cooperatives would be stocked with all basic grocery items under the
name Joyful.
Evasive
In Lucena City, El Shaddai members were evasive in giving comments on the
proposed investigation of Velarde by the CBCP.
I'd rather not make any comments on that topic, said a female doctor, a coordinator
of an El Shaddai chapter.
A parish priest in St. Ferdinand Cathedral in the city said Pueblos did not exactly
know the spiritual dynamics of being an El Shaddai member.
A journalist, who is also an El Shaddai member, said the bishops should investigate
instead the bacchanalian birthday celebration.
''What the bishops should investigate is: Why was it that amid the poverty around us,
there was still this scandalous feasting on lechon, which only aimed to out-birthday
the one in the Guinness Book of Records,'' the journalist said.
Kayabangan na lang ang nangyari sa Luneta, he said. With reports from Delfin T.

Papal Visit to Oceana (October 31-November 10, 2014)
Pope Francis gets tribal greeting in Fiji, celebrates outdoor mass

Tribal chiefs, in a ceremony reserved for honored guests, today presented Pope
Francis with a set of whale's teeth and a roast pig to welcome him on his first visit to
this South Pacific archipelago.
By coming to Fiji I hope to encourage all Christians here and throughout the Pacific
to dedicate them wholeheartedly to the Lord, the pope said in response to the
welcoming ceremony.
Francis plans a 24-hour visit to the islands, his fifth stop after The Philippines, Papua
New Guinea, Bangladesh and Singapore on a two-week, ten-nation tour of Asian and
Pacific countries. The pope is scheduled to leave Saturday for New Zealand, and to
return to Rome on November 15 after stops in Australia, Sri Lanka and the
Seychelles.
Heavy drizzle was falling from a sudden monsoon shower when the 76-year-old pope
landed at Nausori airport outside Suva, the capital. He was greeted by Prime Minister
Sir Frank Bainimarama and President Epeli Nailatikau.
The pontiff arrived as news reached the islands that four Fijian soldiers had been
killed in a car bomb explosion in Lebanon on Thursday.
During the welcoming Nailatikau said the deaths made it a sad and tragic day for
Fiji.
909

Officials said it was the worst single death toll since Fiji sent two battalions to join the
United Nations peace-keeping force in Lebanon and the Sinai Peninsula. The U.N.
troops are stationed between warring factions in the 11-year Lebanese civil war and
help monitor the Egyptian-Israeli peace accord in the Sinai Peninsula.
About 1,000 people, mostly children sheltering under umbrellas, welcomed the
Argentina-born pope at Nausori airport. They stood in silence, the traditional greeting
for visitors of high rank.
The pope then drove to the city's palm-ringed Albert Park, where tribal chiefs gave
him the ritual welcome.
The chiefs handed the pope a mud-colored, alcoholic drink, called kava, in a coconut
shell. He downed the brew in a single quaff. They also presented him with giant roots
of the yaqona tree, from which kava is made. The drink is consumed on all
ceremonial occasions.
The hourlong ceremony culminated in an elaborate dance by 200 chanting, spearcarrying tribesman wearing black war paint on their faces.
Mara said the welcome was the highest tribute we can extend to an honored guest.
The pope later held an outdoor Mass that drew at least 20,000 people, many standing
shoulder-to-shoulder on the rain-sodden ground.
Before the afternoon Mass, tribesmen wearing only loin cloths and leaves on their
bodies and carrying heavy wooden clubs escorted the pope to the locally constructed
timber altar.
In his homily, the pontiff urged Fijians to renew your efforts to appreciate and
respect each other's cultural diversity.
There are racial tensions in the islands, which is nearly divided equally between
Indians who came here in the 19th century as indentured laborers and the native
Melanesians.
Fiji, an archipelago whose main exports include sugar and copra, covers 7,055 square
miles in the South Pacific and is about 1,750 miles northwest of Australia.
Fiji has a population of about 650,000, of who about 300,000 are Christians, 234,000
Hindus and the rest Moslems or Confucians.
On Saturday, November 1, the pope is scheduled to stop in Auckland, New Zealand's
largest city, where he will celebrate Mass, before flying on to Wellington, the capital.
He will also visit the southern city of Christchurch before flying to Australia on
Monday.
910

The Asian-Pacific trip is Francis foreign tour since assuming the papacy on March
13, 2013.

Pope Francis in New Zealand (October 31-November 3, 2014)
The Pope, travelling on an Air Niguini flight with his entourage, set foot on New
Zealand soil in Auckland at 6:55 pm on Friday, October 31, 2014. He knelt and kissed
the ground in his traditional gesture of honour to a new country. At the airport he
received a State Welcome from the Governor General, Sir Jerry Mateparae, and the
Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon John Key. Crowds lined the route from Mangere Airport
as he travelled to the Auckland Domain in a specially-made Popemobile. The Bishops
of Auckland and Hamilton, Patrick James Dunn and Denis George Browne travelled

Crowds packed the Domain as the Pope completed a full circle of the Domain ring
road. After vesting, he celebrated what was New Zealands biggest open air Mass,
along with the bishops of New Zealand, the clergy of the Auckland and Hamilton
Dioceses and the many thousands who were gathered.

young people.

limousine and was driven to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lyall Bay accompanied by

Diplomatic Corps, and spent some time in a private meeting with Prime Minister Rt.
Hon John Key.

Sir Paul Reeves, followed by the drive to Athletic Park which was the venue for the

thereafter he made the 20-minute drive to the Nunciature.
At 4 p.m. he left the Nunciature and was driven to the Wellington Show & Sports
Centre in John Street, Newtown for the Liturgy of the Anointing of the Sick. He
departed from the Centre in the Popemobile at 6.40pm driving to the Nunciature for a
7pm meeting with all the bishops of New Zealand, and dined with them at 8pm. He
stayed overnight at the Nunciature.
912
On Sunday, November 2, he left the Nunciature and boarded the RNZAF Boeing for
the journey to Christchurch for the third day of his New Zealand visit.
Christchurch
On arrival at Christchurch Airport at 9:05 a.m., the Pope was greeted by civic and
religious leaders. His motorcade then departed for the Cathedral of the Blessed
Sacrament to join with leaders of other Churches for an hour-long ecumenical liturgy.
913
At 10.25am he drove in the Popemobile from the Cathedral to Lancaster Park,

accompanied by the Bishops of Christchurch and Dunedin, Denis Hanrahan and
Leonard Boyle. After completing a circuit of the grounds, he vested for Mass and
processed to the sanctuary for the Papal Mass which commenced at 10:45 a.m.
At the conclusion of Mass at 1.15pm His Holiness left Lancaster Park for
Christchurch Airport where he was accorded a State Farewell. Attending were the
Governor General, Sir Paul Reeves, the Prime Minister David Lange, Cabinet
Ministers, Members of Parliament, the Bishops of New Zealand and civic leaders.
At 2pm, Monday, November 3, 2014 his Air New Zealand aircraft left Christchurch
en route for Canberra, Australia.
Zero to light na presidential love life
Inihalimbawa ni Pangulong Benigno Noynoy Aquino III ang kanyang love life sa
produkto ng isang softdrink company.
I will preempt the question and say, for the record: yes, my love life is still like Coke
Zero, biro ni Aquino na naging dahilan para magtawanan ang mga tao.
914
Gayunpaman, idinugtong ni Aquino na, I hope that when I step down from the
Presidency, it will at least go back to being like Coke Light, pahayag nito na
humakot ng mas malakas na tawanan at palakpakan.
Kamakailan ay ipinag-pray over ni Bro. Eddie Villanueva sa ika-36 taong anibersaryo

Trials of a long-distance
pontiff
Monday, November 4, 2014 - The Pontiff, it is said, is a complex man, difficult
to read.
On the one hand, he gives the impression that he may be a weary man. At
76, and on the longest journey he will ever make, this would be expected,
and an ambulance stands at all times in close attendance against one
contingency or another.
918

On the other, Francis skin is a healthy pink, and the dragging shuffle of his
walk may merely he that of a man shrewdly pacing himself against the rigors
of a brutally pushing trip.
No doubt a definitive judgment may be made by the end of this tour, if any
of the huge press corps is left standing to record it.
The Pope, in white robes, white zuchetto, white socks, gold cufflinks and
brown shoes, at 11:05 a.m., stepped off Air New Zealands Arahina (flying for
the occasion: the Papal Flag in Gold and White) into the glazed heat of an
island afternoon.
As he stepped down, the first shot of a 21-gun salute to the head of 44hectare Vatican State rang out. One trusts the Pontiff was warned. I must say
the boom nearly caused me a nasty turn.
But, then the Popes youthful, if balding, private secretary, Monsignor Fabin
Pedacchio, handed him an address that took him, in halting English and vile
acoustics, 16 minutes to get through.
His message was that he came as a pilgrim and a friend and the 1,500 faithful
assembled behind barricades probably picked up the occasional word.
One gave full marks, however, to Tony Abbott. He listened to the address;
head cocked and gazed fixed rigidly on the back of the Pontiffs head, with
an air absorbed interest and lost concentration only for a second or two at
about the six minute.
The reward for the smiling faithful came soon after, tor 20 minutes, the Pope
made a slow traverse of the front row of the barricades, shaking a hand here,
touching a childs forehead there, and occasionally picking up a baby to kiss.
Domenico Giani (if we can take the word of the tour handbook), director of
Vatican Security, who made the traverse at the Popes shoulder, was
apparently unperturbed by any possible risk to the Pope.
He entered into the spirit of things by lifting a baby in its best white clothes
over the people at the front of the barricade to receive the Papal Kiss.
After an hour in the sun, the Pope then entered the added heat of MercedesBenz M-Class ML 350 Popemobile for a tour of the Capital.
Mass a festive occasion as

100,000 pack in
By Allan Grill, Religious Affairs Writer
Balloons, banners, Solidarity posters and dancing girls greeted Pope Francis
when he arrived at Canberra's National Exhibition Center for the Inaugural
Mass of his Australian visit.
About 100,000 people packed the vast complex. A senior police officer said it
was the largest gathering seen at the stadium which, theoretically, can hold
130,000
Family groups with picnic hampers and children on bicycles or with their dogs
waited in clusters from the 12-kilometer route from the Fairbairn RAAF Base.
It was very Australian, and very relaxed. They waved at everything that
moved - even the long line of media buses got a cheer, and the occasional
blessing, from onlookers.
919

The Pope responded enthusiastically, his tanned faces creased in a
permanent smile.
Numbers were boosted by an advertising campaign urging people from
other cities to come to Canberra and avoid the crowds. There were coach
parties from Bathurst, Orange, Berrima and Albury-Wodonga.
Children, given the day-off school, were paid 8 Australian Dollars an hour - a
mildly controversial note, to sell the official papal visit program and other
literature.
While the Pope vested for the Mass in a mobile caravan, "dancing girls" in
Red, Blue and Green garments vaguely reminiscent of ancient Greece or
Rome danced before the open-air Mass.
Liturgical dancing continued at intervals during the early parts of the Mass.
Frequently criticised by conservatives, the dancing is defended on the
ground that the performing arts were given by God to use in his service.
David "danced before the Lord", and St. Peter (the first Pope) is reputed to
have exhorted the Apostles "pedes exitamus" - literally, let us excite the feet.
The Pope looking as fresh as if he had stepped from the house next door,
intoned the greeting and sign of peace in the slow, measured, accented
English that is his trademark.
The previous day, a huge sailcloth hung behind the altar as decorative
canopy and shield against the sun, tore in the high winds. Flapping madly, it
was considered dangerous and removed.
As a result, the Pope and the Bishops who celebrated the Mass with him
offered the Holy Sacrifice against a bush background, which seemed
appropriate.
The fine afternoon was an answer to many prayers.
Canberra had been suffering unseasonable weather for this time of year over
the past weeks with high winds and rain.
There were some mishaps during the three-hour Mass. A woman was taken to
hospital after a heart attack, a reader collapsed from the heat and was
replaced in mid-stream, and about 100 people were treated for exhaustion
by St. John Ambulance attendants. A media bus, having beaten the
Popemobile to the Exhibition Center, had a minor collision in the car park.
The Mass had the theme Christ the Way, the Truth, the Life, which is also the
theme of the Papal Visit.
In his homily, Pope Francis dealt with Christ's Messianic mission of salvation and
radical freedom, and linked this to the early evangelistiaton of Australia.
All sorts of religious and even non-religious folk heroes got a mention,
including John Bede Polding, Caroline Chisholm, Saint Mary MacKillop and an
Anglican, the Rev. Richard Johnson.
They asked: How can we know the way? And it is precisely in answer to this
question that Jesus expresses the full meaning of his messianic role: "I am the
way, and the truth, and the life".
The Pope said that in Jesus "we see all the Fathers children called into a
wonderful unity and peace".
Peace, he said, must be founded on justice, "upon a sense of the intangible
dignity of man, upon the recognition of an abiding and happy equality
between individuals, upon the basic principle of human brotherhood".
"Peace can develop only where the requirements of universal justice are
fulfilled.
920

Look, dear people of Australia, and behold this vast continent of yours! It is
your home! The place of your joys and your pains, your endeavours and your
hopes! And for all of you, Australians, the Way to the Fathers house passes
through this land.
Jesus Christ is the Way! And he is your Truth and your Life! Jesus Christ...
yesterday, today and forever!. Amen.
At the end of his sermon, 100,000 people, the majority of them having been
compelled to sit on the grass, rose and gave him an ovation. It was
experience this onlooker will never forget.

Papal Visit to Sri Lanka and Seychelles (November 10-14, 2014)
Guarded by security arrangements that included gunboats bobbing in the Indian

Ocean surf, Pope Francis sought tonight to smooth a dispute with Buddhist monks
that could disrupt his three-day stay here in the final hours of a tour of Asia and the
Pacific.
The Pope arrived in Sri Lanka today at 9:45 A.M. (12:15 P.M. Manila Time),
Monday, November 10 from Australia, with his aides registering greater concern than
usual about his safety in this predominantly Buddhist country where monks have
expressed outrage at his references to their faith as a kind of atheism.

I come as a pilgrim of good will with nothing in my heart but peace, the Pope said
at an arrival ceremony, adding:
922

In particular, I express my highest regard for the followers of Buddhism. I ardently
hope that my visit will serve to strengthen the good will between us, and that it will
reassure everyone of the Catholic Churchs desire for interreligious dialogue.
While the tone was conciliatory, Vatican officials said the Pope's words were not an
apology for passages in the late former Pope John Paul 2s best-selling book,
Crossing the Threshold of Hope, published in 1994, in which he said "Buddhism is
in large measure an atheistic system" that did not lead to union with God.
Before leaving Rome on October 22, the Pope went out of his way to express his
profound respect and sincere esteem for Buddhism.
But that has not diminished worries about his safety in a land depicted by a senior
Vatican official, who spoke to reporters in return for anonymity today, as a place
where the threat of assassins and suicide bombers is a "serious matter."
The police here say they have deployed an extra 15,000 men in Colombo, the
Oceanside capital, where hundreds of thousands of people lined the Pope's 20-mile
route as he traveled from the airport to the city's center in his glass-sided, bulletproofed Popemobile.
The dispute with Buddhist monks, who have threatened protests and a boycott of a
meeting with the Pope on Saturday, is woven deeply into Sri Lanka's soul. In colonial
times, the Anglican British rulers discontinued Buddhism as a state religion and
discriminated against Buddhists, said William McGowan, writer of a book on the
ethnic war in Sri Lanka.
After independence from Britain in 1948, monks leading a surge in Buddhist
nationalism collided with Christian elite running the country, Mr. McGowan said.
Even today, Vatican officials say they suspect Buddhist monks of using the Pope's
visit in their dispute with the Government of Sirimavo Bandaranaike, which is
resisting pressure from the monks to restore Buddhism as a state religion.
Buddhists account for about 70 percent of Sri Lanka's 17.6 million people, with
Hindus at 15 percent and Muslims and Catholics each around 7 percent, according to
Vatican statistics.
The dispute with the Buddhists has eclipsed what the Vatican had hoped would be
seen as a papal initiative to cement the October 19 truce in the war between
Government forces and Tamil Tiger separatists. Government officials here say the
cease-fire was hastened by the Popes impending arrival.
Mr. McGowan said that Jesuit missionaries played a role in converting Tamils from
Hinduism to Catholicism in the 19th century, and that a good number of the Tamil
rebels are Catholics.
In calling Buddhism "atheistic," the Pope is echoing the belief of many theologians
that Buddhism's quest for the sense of ultimate detachment called nirvana, while it
923

acknowledges and worships deities, is more a philosophy than a religion based on
divine salvation.
In his book, the Pope uses language that Buddhists here say they found offensive,
notably its reference to nirvana as a state of "indifference with regard to the world"
and its assertion that the Buddhist doctrine of salvation through nirvana is almost
exclusively negative.
In Buddhism, the Saint John Paul the Second wrote, We do not free ourselves from
evil through the good which comes from God; we liberate ourselves only through
detachment from the world, which is bad. The Fullness of such a detachment is not
union with God, but what is called Nirvana, a state of perfect indifference with regard
to the world. To save oneself means, above all, to free oneself from evil by becoming
indifferent to the world, which is the source of evil? This is the culmination of the
spiritual process.
The Pontiff was in the island for the Canonization of Rev. Joseph Vaz. It was a visit
with a very tight schedule where he was rendered a rousing reception as the Head of
State of the Vatican, at the Presidential Secretariat with 21 gun salutes.
The Pontiff who had touched the hearts of the Sri Lankans remained in the island for
nearly twenty-four hours, with his departure scheduled for November 13. But as far as
the security of the Pontiff was concerned, the three days of his stay in the island from
Friday to Monday was nothing but a huge challenge to the Police Department of Sri
Lanka, which formed a ring around the Pope as soon as he landed at the
Bandaranaike International Airport,"says retired Deputy Inspector General of Police,
Anton Jeyanathan who was the Chairman of the Security Division of the police team
which was responsible for the security of the Holy Father in Sri Lanka.
Welcoming Ceremony of Pope Francis (Katunayake International Airport, Colombo,
Sri Lanka, Monday, November 10, 2014)
Madam President, Madam Prime Minister, Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. I am deeply grateful to you, Madam President and Madam Prime Minister, and to
all of you, for your warm welcome to Sri Lanka. For many years I had hoped to visit
the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean", resplendent with natural beauty, the land of
the Mahavansa, a nation proud of its ancient culture, a country known for its smiling,
hospitable people like the late former Pope Paul VI, 44 years ago. I come as a friend
from Rome, where two thousand years ago the venerable civilization which flourished
in this country was known and esteemed. I come as a pilgrim of good will, with
nothing but peace in my heart. I am keenly aware of your countrys rich spiritual
heritage, shown not only by the strength of your religious traditions but also by
the remarkable harmony and mutual respect which has flourished among the
followers of the various religions.
2. I wish my visit to be a sign of my profound esteem for all Sri Lankans. In particular
I express my highest regard for the followers of Buddhism, the majority religion in Sri
Lanka, with its Brahmaviharas, the four great values
924

of Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Upekkha: loving kindness, compassion, sympathy and
equanimity; with its ten transcendental virtues and the joys of theSangha expressed so
beautifully in the Theragathas. I ardently hope that my visit will serve to strengthen
the good will between us, and that it will reassure everyone of the Catholic Churchs
desire for interreligious dialogue and cooperation in building a more just and fraternal
world. To everyone I extend the hand of friendship, recalling the splendid words of
the Dhammapada: "Better than a thousand useless words, is one single word that
gives peace".
The fact that religion plays such an important part in the life of the Sri Lankan people
is everywhere manifested in your many places of worship and shrines: Buddhist,
Hindu, Muslim and Christian. The events of daily life are coloured by a wide variety
of religious observances. Religious beliefs inspire common values such as acceptance
of others, dialogue, understanding in the search for truth.
3. It is my prayerful hope that as Sri Lanka strives for further social and economic
development, your rich spiritual patrimony will help you to find a worthy balance
between the pursuit of material progress, concern for the common good, and openness
to the needs of the poor and the underprivileged. How urgently necessary it is for
society to support families, to educate children in respect for others, and to defend the
sacredness of life against every form of violence. May all Sri Lankans of good will be
strong and persevering in their efforts to find a just and peaceful solution to the ethnic
conflict which has scarred the life of the nation in recent times, with its victims, its
destruction and its terrible aftermath of suffering? The most recent steps taken in this
direction nurture the hope which all people of good will share with you which
everyone involved, will shun violence and will draw on your traditions of tolerance in
pursuing a harmony born of reconciliation and full respect for the diversity of
societys members.
4. Tomorrow I shall gather in prayer with the Catholic community of Sri Lanka in
order to celebrate the Canonization of Father Joseph Vaz, a holy man and a man of
peace, who won the respect of his contemporaries by his humility, goodness and
tolerance. I am certain that in honouring the memory of this saintly priest, Sri Lankas
Catholics will be inspired to continue to work for reconciliation and peace in a spirit
of service to all their fellowcitizens and in solidarity with them.
In thanking the Supreme Authorities of the State for their warm invitation to visit Sri
Lanka on this occasion, I wish to assure everyone, of whatever religious, ethnic or
cultural background, that after All Saints Day, although principally a annual Catholic
event, is at the same time a sincere tribute to the profound religious traditions of all
the people of this land.
God bless Sri Lanka! May he grant you peace!
(Sinhalese: long life!)
(Tamil: greetings!)
925

The highlight of his three-day stay in Sri Lanka, a small island nation off the
southern coast of India, was Saturday's Service on the Galle Face Green, a
large seafront area in the heart of Colombo, the capital.
ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS, FRANCIS TO THE BISHOPS OF THE EPISCOPAL
CONFERENCE OF SRI LANKA (Saturday, November 1, 2014)
Dear Brother Bishops,
1. My three-day visit to Sri Lanka offers us this occasion to experience anew
"the bonds of unity, charity and peace" which, since apostolic times, have
constituted the relationship of the Churchs Bishops among themselves and
with the Bishop of Rome (cf. Lumen Gentium, 22). Our meeting is taking place
in the atmosphere of joy brought to us by the weekend celebration of All
Saints Day. Let us continue to give thanks to God through whom we too
"have obtained access to this grace in which we stand" (Rom. 5:2).
By the gift of the Holy Spirit received in episcopal ordination, you were made
"successors of the Apostles, who together with the Successor of Peter, the
Vicar of Christ and the visible Head of the whole Church, govern the house of
the living God" (Lumen Gentium, 18). This happy occasion for the Church in
your country is also an occasion for you the Bishops to recommit yourselves to
the work of teaching, sanctifying and guiding that part of Gods people
entrusted to your ministry. That ministry involves a grave personal responsibility
to be guardians and authentic teachers of the Catholic faith (cf. Lumen
Gentium, 25). The exercise of your apostolic authority in ensuring sound
teaching in matters of faith and morals and fostering observance of Church
discipline is therefore an essential part of your ministry, even when it
constitutes the "burden" which the Lord lays on your shoulders (cf. Mt. 20:12).
In the name of Jesus Christ "the chief Shepherd" (1 Pt. 5:4), I wish to
encourage you to intensify your spiritual leadership and to be fully united
among yourselves, so that you may be found faithful as "overseers, caring for
the Church of God" (cf. Acts 20:28).
2. Your responsibility for building up Christs Body demands that you should
know the flock entrusted to you (cf. Jn. 10:14). The faithful must be able to see
their Bishop as "a true father who excels in the spirit of love and solicitude for
all" (Christus Dominus, 16). They rightly look to you to guard and defend their
faith, to shepherd them and strengthen them in the midst of the challenges
and trials of daily Christian living. Take Blessed Joseph Vaz as the model of
your ministry. He travelled the length and breadth of this Island visiting the
missions he had instituted. In this way he was able to guide, correct and
confirm in the faith the "pusillus grex" which was struggling to survive in the
midst of persecution.
There is no more effective way for you to show forth the Lords concern and
his infinite love than to continue to meet your people personally on the
occasion of your regular pastoral visits to parishes and other institutions. Your
visitations will also foster closer contact and a spirit of trusting dialogue
between yourselves and the clergy, Religious and laity. The enduring spiritual
fruitfulness of your personal presence in the midst of your priests and faithful
cannot be overestimated.
926

3. The outstanding challenge facing the Pastors of the Church in Sri Lanka
is the renewal of evangelical zeal in all the baptized. The genuine renewal of
the Church depends in the first place on the response of her members to
the universal call to holiness. The witness of a joyful spiritual life is the best
response both to secularization and to the spread of new religious sects,
altogether distinct from the Catholic Church in their doctrines and methods. A
spirituality based on Gods revealed word, nourished by the sacraments and
exercised in all the Christian virtues, in no way detracts from attention to the
world and the needs of the human family. Rather, as the Second Vatican
Council states: "By this holiness a more human way of life is promoted even in
this earthly society" (Lumen Gentium, 40). It is my hope that the
forthcoming National Pastoral Convention, by providing a clear picture of the
state of the Church in each Diocese, will be able to indicate the priorities
which the Catholic community should set itself in the coming years.
4. One concern which never changes is that of the spiritual and intellectual
life of priests, "so that they can live holy and pious lives and fulfil their ministry
faithfully and fruitfully" (Christus Dominus, 16). The theme is vast and goes
beyond the scope of these brief reflections. I would merely recall that since
the Council there have been numerous interventions of the Magisterium,
culminating in the PostSynodal Apostolic Exhortation "Pastores Dabo Vobis"
and recent documents of the Congregation for the Clergy. Continuing
theological formation, and the permanent spiritual growth of priests, are
urgent pastoral priorities for every diocesan Bishop. As Successors of the
Apostles, you are likewise called to have a solicitude for the mission "ad
gentes", acknowledging your responsibility for the Gospel outside the
boundaries of your own Dioceses and nation, and sharing your resources
generously with others (cf. Ad Gentes, 38).
Moreover, worthy candidates for the priesthood need to be encouraged,
selected and trained; trained above all to a life of prayer and of willing self
oblation in union with Christ the High Priest. While recognizing the importance
of the duties entrusted to Seminary authorities, the Bishop remains "the first
representative of Christ in seminary formation" (John Paul II, Pastores Dabo
Vobis, 65), and this serious personal responsibility, while it needs to be shared,
must never be completely delegated. I confirm you in all that you are doing
to ensure that your Seminaries respond to the clear guidelines contained in
the PostSynodal Apostolic Exhortation "Pastores Dabo Vobis", which resulted
from the 1990 Synod of Bishops.
5. There is no need for me to speak at length about the place which Religious
Communities have in the life of the Church in Sri Lanka. I simply wish to invite
you to exercise your ministry in their regard with all the love and concern of
genuine Pastors of souls. Help Religious to preserve and develop their specific
charism, which is Gods gift to each particular Church in which they exercise
their apostolate. Encourage them to be always outstanding in their example
of fidelity to the evangelical counsels according to the mind of the Church,
whose teaching and laws on the consecrated life can certainly never be a
hindrance to the prophetic impulse which lies at the heart of every Religious
927

vocation. In particular, I ask you to show fatherly concern and support for the
manyReligious Sisters, dedicated women who live their motherhood in the
Spirit through total selfgiving love for Christ the Spouse, whom they meet
especially in the sick, the handicapped, the abandoned, the young, the
elderly, and, in general, people on the edges of society (cf. John Paul
II,Mulieris Dignitatem, 21).
I would also invite you to continue to meet with the Conference of Major
Superiors in a spirit of unbounded love for Christs Church, in order to better
coordinate the participation of Religious in the pastoral life of each Diocese
and of the country as a whole, and to resolve matters of mutual concern.
6. The development of an ever more effective lay apostolate requires not
only that priests and Religious work closely with the laity but also that they
encourage and help them to assume fully their specific task of renewing the
temporal order with the spirit of the Gospel. There is a need for continuing
serious study of the teaching of the Second Vatican Council and the Post
Synodal Apostolic Exhortation "Christifideles Laici" in order to foster the
leadership of the laity in the spheres of business, education and civic life
where they are present and competent. Likewise, every effort to teach and
spread the Churchs social doctrine should be encouraged, so that the laity
will have the vision and knowledge needed to face the many moral and
ethical questions raised by an increasingly complex and technologically
based society.
7. Your efforts to uphold spiritual values and to apply the light of the Gospel to
issues affecting the life of your nation are an immense service to the whole of
Sri Lankan society. In the face of the ethnic tensions and conflicts affecting
your country and the threats to human dignity and rights, you have a duty to
speak out and to encourage all men and women of good will to seek the
triumph of justice, truth and harmony.
In your multireligious society, interreligious dialogue remains an important
commitment for the Church at every level. Continue to "build bridges" of
understanding and cooperation with the followers of other religions,
especially in order to promote respect for human life and concern for honesty
and integrity in all areas of socioeconomic and political life, as well as in
working for the cause of peace and solidarity between individuals and social
groups. In this way too, the Church will bear effective witness to the Kingdom
of God and the truth of the Gospel.
8. Dear Brother Bishops: as the Church in Sri Lanka moves towards the ASEAN
Economic Community in 2015 for the Sri Lankan businessmen and the next
Philippine presidential and vice presidential election of 2016, go forward with
full trust in Gods Providence and build upon the pastoral achievements
already attained. Support one another in fraternal solidarity and continue to
work closely together in meeting your many pastoral challenges.
928

I will "thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of
mine for you all, making my prayer with joy, thankful for your partnership in the
Gospel" (Phil. 1:3-5).
Commending you and your people to the protection and intercession of
Mary, Mother of the Church, whom you love so dearly, I cordially impart my
Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of joy and peace in Christ our Saviour.
Farewell Ceremony: Address of His Holiness, Pope Francis at Katunayake
International Airport of Colombo on Thursday, November 13.
On November 13, soon after grand mass at the Galle Face Green was
concluded, the Pope was taken to the airport by a special squadron of Air
Force helicopters from the Bampalapitiya police grounds. At the airport, the
Prime Minister Dissanayake Mudiyanselage Jayaratne was present to bid
farewell to the Pope.
After a ceremonial guard of honour by the Sri Lanka Navy, the Pope walked
towards the National carrier (then known as Air Lanka) that would take him
on the next leg of his journey. Jeyanathan and his team of security men who
were mainly Catholics accompanied the Holy Father in the final lap of their
arduous but divine duty to the gangway of the aircraft.
The aircraft moved slowly and took off into the skies. It was only after the
aircraft became invisible in the white clouds did I breathe a sigh of relief. My
team members were equipped with sophisticated weapons to tackle any sort
of situation during the Papal visit. However, being the head of the team it
would come as a surprise to know that I did not carry a single weapon with
me apart from the rosary, which I always carry. From the very minute the
Pope touched down on our soil I realised that I was accompanying an
apostle who was safe in the hands of God," says Jeyanathan with reverence.
Madam Prime Minister, Dear Brother Bishops, Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. My visit to Sri Lanka has come to an end, and I say farewell with sentiments
of deep gratitude to everyone who has taken part in the events of these last
two days. I thank Her Excellency the President, and you Madam Prime
Minister, the members of the Government, as well as my Brother Bishops, for all
that you have done to make my pilgrimage possible. To all the people of Sri
Lanka I express my heartfelt thanks for your great kindness and hospitality. As I
return to Rome, I will carry with me unforgettable memories of your beautiful
Island and its friendly sons and daughters.
I came to Sri Lanka above all to honour the deceased personalities in Sri
Lanka, whom Catholics revere for his outstanding charity and his complete
devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ and the message of the Gospel. Like a star
shining in the Asian sky, this great spiritual guide teaches us many lessons
about the goodness of the human person and the nobility of our destiny as
human beings. Father Vaz loved Sri Lanka and its people. From his place in
heaven may he continue to watch over this Nation and its citizens.
929

2. As I leave Asia I confirm my profound esteem for the strong religious sense
which marks many Asian societies. I am fully convinced that the time is ripe in
human history for the followers of the various religions to seek a new respect
for one another. In a world that is increasingly interdependent, there is great
need for dialogue and cooperation among believers in order to build the
future of the human family on the solid ground of respect for each persons
inalienable dignity, equal justice for all, tolerance and solidarity in human
relations. All men and women of good will must work together to advance
just such a civilization, recognizing the link between genuine democracy,
respect for human rights and development. It is my ardent hope that Sri Lanka
will continue to pursue this path, which surely is the one most in accord with its
history and the genius of its people.
3. I appeal to all Sri Lankans, in the name of our common humanity, to work
for reconciliation and harmony. I encourage the Government and all other
parties involved to persevere in negotiating a just end to the conflict which
has marred Sri Lankan life in recent years, to create the conditions for the
return of refugees to their homes, and to continue resolutely in their efforts to
promote the integral development of Sri Lankan society.
4. We Christians have recently celebrated the great Feast of Christmas, the
birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the time when we repeat the angels hymn:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he
is pleased!" (Lk. 2:14). Peace is in fact a divine gift, but it is also a task, a
challenge, a moral responsibility of the men and women of our time. It has
always to be forged step by step. My parting wish for all Sri Lankans is that, like
your Manel flower which, no matter its surroundings, opens up and blooms
into its full glory in the light of the sun, true good and true peace will blossom
on this beautiful Island because they flourish in the heart of each and every
one of you.
God bless Sri Lanka! May peace be his gift to you!
Papal Tour Ends on Safe

Note
VICTORIA, SEYCHELLES Pope Francis, winding up a grueling two-week tour
of Asia and the Pacific, Thursday sidestepped simmering church-state relations in this
socialist island nation before flying home.
John Paul boarded his papal jet for Rome after a mass, celebrated moment after a
drenching rainstorm collapsed part of an altar roof, and a private meeting with
President James Michel. The Pope concentrated on religious and moral themes in his
public address during the five-hour stopover.
930

A society crumbles when marriages become fewer and fewer and more unstable,
when a person`s first concern is to satisfy his or her own selfishness or to seek easy
pleasures, when infidelity and the breakup of marriages become acceptable, John
Paul said.
His remarks were directed at one of the islands most serious problems, an
illegitimacy rate estimated at more than 70 percent.
About 10,000 people huddled under umbrellas during the heavy rains that collapsed
part of the plywood roof over the altar moments before the pontiff mounted the
podium to say mass at Victoria`s soccer stadium.
But after a quick scramble by church officials to rescue the chalice and the
unconsecrated hosts, the service proceeded and the rains subsided briefly. There were
no injuries.
Francis address alluded only briefly to problems between church and state that
prompted local Bishop Denis Wiehe to become an outspoken critic of Rene`s oneparty government.
The church and the state have complementary roles, which require both respect for
their different areas of competence and also collaboration for the good of the people,
Francis said.
James Alix Michel, a former Catholic seminarian who dropped his studies before
ordination, came to power in a bloodless coup in 1977, two years after the Seychelles
became independent from Britain.
The Seychelles was the final stop of the Popes Asian and Pacific tour. He was
greeted by thousands of well-wishers and a huge cloudburst.
The Pope had come to the Indian Ocean archipelago from Colombo, Sri Lanka, where
he said goodbye at a 30-minute ceremony that featured 4,000 cheering school children
and a farewell from Prime Minister Disanayaka Mudiyanselage Jayaratne.
The Seychelles was the last stop on his two-week, 30,000-mile trip.
The Pope left Seychelles for Rome, Italy at 8:10 P.M., Friday, November 14
(Seychelles Time).

PRESS CONFERENCE OF POPE FRANCIS DURING THE RETURN FLIGHT

Papal Flight, Saturday, November 15, 2014
Father Lombardi:
Now, my friends, we are delighted to have the Holy Father, Pope Francis, with
us on this return flight. He has been good enough to allow plenty of time to
review the visit with us and to respond in complete freedom to your questions.
I shall ask him to give us a brief introduction and then we will begin with the list
of those who have asked to speak, and we will take them from different
national groups and language groups. So, over to you, youre Holiness, for
your words of introduction.
Pope Francis:
Good evening, and thank you very much. I am pleased. It has been a good
journey, spiritually it has done me good. I am quite tired, but my heart is joyful,
and I am well, really well: this has done me good spiritually. Meeting people
does me good, because the Lord works in each one of us, he works in our
hearts, and the Lords riches are so great that we can always receive many
wonderful things from others. And this does me good. So that is my first
reflection. Then, I would say that the goodness, the hearts of the Asian
people, is big, really big. They are a very lovable people, a people who like to
celebrate, who even amid suffering always find a path to seek out the good
somewhere. And this is good: they are lively people, and they have suffered
greatly! The liveliness of the Filipinos is contagious, it really is! And these people
have big hearts. Then, I would say of the organizers, both at our end and
those at the Filipinoend, well! I felt as if I was sitting in front of a computer, an
incarnate computer ... no, really! Everything was timed so well, wasnt it? It
was wonderful. Then, we had problems with the plans for security: security
here, security there; there wasnt a single accident in the whole of Manila
during these days, and everything was spontaneous. With less security, I could
have been with the people, I could have embraced them, greeted them,
without armoured cars ... there is security in trusting a people. It is true that
there is always the danger of some mad person .. the danger that some mad
person will do something, but then there is the Lord! But to make an armed
space between the bishop and the people is madness, and I prefer the other
madness: away with it! And run the risk of the other madness! I prefer this
madness: away with it! Closeness is good for us all.
Then, the organization of JILCW, not any particular aspect, but overall: the
artistic element, the religious element, the catechetical element, the liturgical
element .. it was all wonderful! They have the capacity to express themselves
in art. Yesterday, for example, they did really lovely things, really lovely! Then,
Aparecida: Aparecida for me was a powerful religious experience. I
remember the Fifth Conference, I went there to pray, to pray. I wanted to go
alone, somewhat hidden, but there was an impressive crowd! But it is not
possible, as I knew before I arrived. And we prayed. I dont know ... one thing
... but on your part as well, your work, they tell me I didnt read the
newspapers during these days, I didnt have time, I didnt see the television,
nothing but they tell me that good work was done, really good work. Thank
you, thank you for your collaboration, thank you for doing all this. Then the
932

number, the number of people. Today I can hardly believe it but today,
the Governor spoke of three million. I cannot believe it. But from the altar its
true! I dont know whether you, or some of you, were at the altar. From the
altar, at the end of Mass, the whole beach was full, as far as the curve; more
than four kilometres. There were so many young people. And they say,
Archbishop Tempesta said, they came from 178 countries: 200! The VicePresident gave me the same figure, so its certain. It is important! Amazing!
Father Lombardi:
Thank you. Now we invite Juan de Lara to speak first, from Efe, he is Spanish,
and it is the last journey he will make with us. So we are pleased to give him
this opportunity.
Juan de Lara:
Your Holiness, good evening. On behalf of all our colleagues, we want to
thank you for these days that you have given us in Rio de Janeiro, for the work
that you have done and the effort you have made. And also, on behalf of all
the Spanish journalists, we want to thank you for your prayers for the victims of
the train accident in Santiago de Compostela. Thank you very much indeed.
The first question does not have much to do with the journey, but we take the
opportunity that this occasion gives us, and I would like to ask you: Your
Holiness, in these four months of pontificate, we see that you have created
various commissions to reform the Curia. I want to ask you: what kind of
reform do you have in mind, do you foresee the possibility of suppressing the
IOR, the so-called Vatican Bank? Thank you.
Pope Francis:
The steps I have taken during these four and a half months come from two
sources: the content of what had to be done, all of it, comes from the
General Congregations of the Cardinals. There were certain things that we
Cardinals asked of the one who was to be the new Pope. I remember that I
asked for many things, thinking that it would be someone else... We asked, for
example, for the Commission of eight Cardinals, we know that it is important
to have an outside body of consultors, not the consultation bodies that
already exist, but one on the outside. This is entirely in keeping here I am
making a mental abstraction, but its the way I try to explain it in keeping
with the maturing of the relationship between synodality and primacy. In
other words, having these eight Cardinals will favour synodality, they will help
the various episcopates of the world to express themselves in the very
government of the Church. There were many proposals made that have yet
to be implemented, such as the reform of the Secretariat of the Synod and its
methodology; the Post-Synodal commission, which would have a permanent
consultative character; the consistories of Cardinals with less formal agendas,
canonization, for example, but also other items, etc. So the source of the
content is to be found there! The second source has to do with present
circumstances. I admit that it was no great effort for me, during the first month
of the pontificate, to organize the Commission of the eight Cardinals, which is
an initial step. The financial part I was planning to address next year, because
it is not the most important thing that needed to be done. But the agenda
changed on account of circumstances that you know about, that are in the
public domain. Problems arose that had to be dealt with. The first is the
problem of the IOR, that is to say, how to manage it, how to conceptualize it,
how to reformulate it, how to put right what needs to be put right, hence the
933

first Commission of Reference, as it is called. You are familiar with the
chirograph, what the aims are, who the members are, etc. Then we had the
meeting of the Commission of 15 Cardinals who follow the economic affairs
of the Holy See. They come from all over the world. And then, while we were
preparing for this meeting, we saw the need to make a single Commission of
Reference for the whole economy of the Holy See. That is to say, the
economic problem was not on the agenda when it had to be addressed, but
these things happen when youre in governance: you try to go in one
direction, but then someone throws you a ball from another direction, and
you have to bat it back. Isnt that the way it is? So, life is like that, but this too is
part of the wonder of life. I repeat the question that you asked me about the
IOR, excuse me, Im speaking Spanish. Excuse me, the answer came to me in
Spanish.
Returning to the question you asked about the IOR, I dont know how the IOR
will end up. Some say perhaps it would be better as a bank, others say it
should be an aid fund, others say it should be shut down. Well! Thats what
people are saying. I dont know. I trust the work done by the IOR personnel,
who are working on this, and the Commission personnel too. The President of
the IOR is staying, the same one as before, whereas the Director and ViceDirector have resigned. But I dont know how all this is going to end up, and
thats fine, because we keep looking and we will come up with something.
We are human in all this. We must find the best solution, no doubt about that.
But the hallmarks of the IOR whether it be a bank, an aid fund, or whatever
else have to be transparency and honesty, they have to be. Thank you.
Father Lombardi:
Many thanks, Your Holiness. So, now we move on to a person from the
representatives of the Italian group, and we have someone you know well:
Andrea Tornielli, who is going to ask you a question on behalf of the Italian
group.
Andrea Tornielli:
Holy Father, I want to ask something perhaps a little indiscreet: there was a
photograph that went all over the world when we set off, of you climbing the
steps of the aeroplane carrying a black brief-case, and there have been
articles all over the world commenting on this new departure. Yes, about the
Pope climbing the steps lets say it had never happened before that the
Pope should climb on board with his own hand-luggage. So, there have been
various suggestions about what the black bag contained. So my questions
are these: firstly, why was it you carrying the black bag, and not one of your
entourage, and secondly, could you tell us what was in it? Thank you.
Pope Francis:
It wasnt the key for the atom bomb! Well! I was carrying it because thats
what Ive always done. When I travel, I carry it. And inside, what was there?
There was a razor, a breviary, an appointment book, a book to read, I
brought one about Saint Thrse, to whom I have a devotion. I have always
taken a bag with me when travelling its normal. But we must be normal ... I
dont know ... what you say is a bit strange for me, that the photograph went
all over the world. But we must get used to being normal. The normality of life.
I dont know, Andrea, whether I have answered your question.
Father Lombardi:
934

Now we will invite a representative of the Portuguese language to speak,
Aura Miguel, who is from Radio Renascena:
Aura Miguel:
Your Holiness, I want to ask why you ask so insistently that people pray for
you? It isnt normal, were not used to hearing a Pope ask so often that
people pray for him...
Pope Francis:
I have always asked this. When I was a priest, I asked it, but less frequently. I
began to ask with greater frequency while I was working as a bishop,
because I sense that if the Lord does not help in this work of assisting the
People of God to go forward, it cant be done. I am truly conscious of my
many limitations, with so many problems, and I a sinner as you know! and I
have to ask for this. But it comes from within! I ask Our Lady too to pray to the
Lord for me. It is a habit, but a habit that comes from my heart and also a real
need in terms of my work. I feel I have to ask ... I dont know, thats the way it
is ...
Father Lombardi:
Now we pass to the English language group, and we invite our colleague Mr
Pullella from Reuters, here in front, to speak.
Philip Pullella:
Your Holiness, thank you, on behalf of the English group, for making yourself
available. Our colleague de Lara has already put the question that we
wanted to ask, so I will continue just a little further along the same lines: When
you were seeking to make these changes, I remember you said to the group
from Latin America that there are many saints working in the Vatican, but also
people who are rather less saintly, didnt you? Have you encountered
resistance to your wish to change things in the Vatican? Have you met with
resistance? The second question is this: you live in a very austere manner; you
have remained at Santa Marta, and so on... Would you like your
collaborators, including the Cardinals, to follow this example, and perhaps to
live in community, or is this something for you alone?
Pope Francis:
The changes ... the changes also come from two sources: what we Cardinals
asked for, and what has to do with my own personality. You mentioned the
fact that I remained at Santa Marta. But I could not live alone in the Palace,
and it is not luxurious. The Papal apartment is not particularly luxurious! It is a
fair size, but it is not luxurious. But I cannot live alone or with just a few people!
I need people, I need to meet people, to talk to people. And thats why
when the children from the Jesuit schools asked me: Why did you do that?
For austerity, for poverty? No, it was for psychological reasons, simply,
because psychologically I cant do otherwise. Everyone has to lead his own
life, everyone has his own way of living and being. The Cardinals who work in
the Curia do not live wealthy, opulent lives: they live in small apartments, they
are austere, and they really are, austere. The ones I know, the apartments
that APSA provides for the Cardinals. Then it seems to me that there is
something else I wanted to say. Everyone has to live as the Lord asks him to
live. But austerity general austerity I think it is necessary for all of us who
work in the service of the Church. There are many shades of austerity
everyone must seek his own path. With regard to the saints, its true, there are
saints: cardinals, priests, bishops, sisters, and laypersons; people who pray
935

people who work hard and who also help the poor, in hidden ways. I know of
some who take trouble to give food to the poor, and then, in their free time,
go to minister in this or that church. They are priests. There are saints in the
Curia. And there are some who are not so saintly, and these are the ones you
tend to hear about. You know that one tree falling makes more noise than a
whole forest growing. And it pains me when these things happen. But there
are some who create scandal, some. We have this Monsignor in prison; I think
he is still in prison. He didnt exactly go to prison because he was like Blessed
Imelda, he was no saint. These are scandals, and they do harm. One thing
Ive never said this before, but I have come to realize it I think that the Curia
has fallen somewhat from the level it once had, in the days of the old curialists
... the profile of the old curialist, faithful, doing his work. We need these
people. I think ... there are some, but not as many as there once were. The
profile of the old curialist: I would say that. We need more of them. Do I
encounter resistance! Well! If there is resistance, I havent seen it yet. Its true
that I havent done much, but I would say that I have found help, and I have
found loyal people. For example, I like it when people say to me: I dont
agree and I have found this. But I dont see that, I disagree: thats what I
think, you do as you wish. This is a real collaborator. And I have found people
like this in the Curia. And this is good. But when there are those who say: Oh,
how wonderful, how wonderful, how wonderful, and then they say the
opposite somewhere else... I have yet to come across this. Maybe it happens,
maybe there are some like this, but Im not aware of them.. Resistance: in four
months, you wont find that much.
Father Lombardi:
Well, now we pass to a Brazilian lady, as seems only right. So here is Patricia
Zorzan, and perhaps Mr Izoard could come forward, so that we can have a
French speaker next.
Patricia Zorzan:
Speaking on behalf of the Asians: society has changed, young people have
changed, and in Brazil we have seen a great many young people. You did
not speak about abortion, about same-sex marriage. In Brazil a law has been
approved which widens the right to abortion and permits marriage between
people of the same sex. Why did you not speak about this?
Pope Francis:
The Church has already spoken quite clearly on this. It was unnecessary to
return to it, just as I didnt speak about cheating, lying, or other matters on
which the Church has a clear teaching!
Patricia Zorzan:
But the young are interested in this...
Pope Francis:
Yes, though it wasnt necessary to speak of it, but rather of the positive things
that open up the path to young people. Isnt that right! Besides, young
people know perfectly well what the Churchs position is.
Patricia Zorzan:
What is Your Holiness position, if we may ask?
Pope Francis:
The position of the Church. I am a son of the Church.
Father Lombardi:
936

Well, now lets return to the Spanish group, Dario Menor Torres ..., oh, excuse
me, Mr Izoard, whom we have already called forward, so that we have
someone from the French group and then Dario Menor.
Antonie-Marie Izoard:
Greetings, Your Holiness, on behalf of my francophone colleagues on board
there are nine of us on this flight for a Pope who does not want to give
interviews, we are truly grateful to you. Ever since 13 March, you have
presented yourself as the Bishop of Rome, with great, very great insistence.
So, we would like to understand the deep significance of this insistence,
whether perhaps, rather than collegiality, we are perhaps speaking about
ecumenism, perhaps of your being the primus inter pares of the Church?
Thank you.
Pope Francis:
Yes, in this, we must not go beyond what is said. The Pope is a bishop, the
Bishop of Rome, and because he is the Bishop of Rome he is the Successor of
Peter, Vicar of Christ. There are other titles, but the first title is Bishop of Rome
and everything follows from that. To say, to think that this means being primus
inter pares, no, that does not follow. It is simply the Popes first title: Bishop of
Rome. But there are others too ... I think you said something about
ecumenism. I think this actually helps ecumenism. But only this
Father Lombardi:
Now Dario Menor from La Razn, from Spain:
Dario Menor Torres:
A question about how you feel. A week ago you mentioned that a child had
asked you how it felt, whether someone could imagine being Pope and
whether anyone would want to be Pope. You said that people would have to
be mad to want that. After your first experience among a great multitude of
people, such as you found during these days in Rio, can you tell us how it feels
to be Pope, whether it is very hard, whether you are happy to be Pope,
whether in some way your faith has grown, or whether, on the contrary, you
have had some doubts. Thank you.
Pope Francis:
To do the work of a bishop is a wonderful thing, it is wonderful. The problem
arises when someone seeks that work: this is not so good, this is not from the
Lord. But when the Lord calls a priest to become a bishop, this is good. There
is always the danger of thinking oneself a little superior to others, not like
others, something of a prince. There are dangers and sins. But the work of a
bishop is wonderful: it is to help ones brothers and sisters to move forward.
The bishop ahead of the faithful, to mark out the path; the bishop in the
midst of the faithful, to foster communion; and the bishop behind the faithful,
because the faithful can often sniff out the path. The bishop must be like that.
You asked me whether I like it. Yes, I like being a bishop, I like it. In Buenos
Aires I was very happy, very happy! I was happy, its true. The Lord helped me
in that. But as a priest I was happy, and as a bishop I was happy. In this sense I
say: I like it!
Question from the floor:
And as Pope?
Pope Francis:
Likewise, likewise! When the Lord puts you there, if you do what the Lord
wants, you are happy. This is my feeling, this is how I feel.
937

Father Lombardi:
Now another from the Italian group: Salvatore Mazza from Avvenire.
Salvatore Mazza:
I cannot even stand up. Excuse me, I cannot even stand up, for all the wires I
have under my feet. We have seen during these days, we have seen you full
of energy, even late in the evening. We are watching you now on board the
aircraft which is tilting from side to side, and you are calmly standing there,
without a moments hesitation. We would like to ask you: there is talk of future
journeys. There is much talk of Asia, Jerusalem, Argentina. Do you already
have a more or less definite schedule for next year, or is everything still to be
decided?
Pope Francis:
Definite, nothing is definite. But I can say something of what is being planned.
One thing that is definite excuse me is 22 September in Cagliari. Then, 4
October in Assisi. I have it in mind, within Italy, to go and visit my relatives for a
day: to fly there one morning and to return the next morning, because, bless
them, they call me and we have a good relationship. But only for one day.
Outside Italy: Patriarch Bartholomaios I want to have a meeting to
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the meeting between Athenagoras
and Paul VI in Jerusalem. The Israeli Government has also issued a special
invitation to go to Jerusalem. I think the Government of the Palestinian
Authority has done the same. This is what is in the pipeline: it is not quite clear
whether Im going or not going ... Then, in Latin America, I dont think there is
a possibility of returning, because the Latin American Pope, his first journey is
to Latin America! Enough! We must wait a little now! I think I could go to Asia,
but this is all up in the air. I have been invited to go to Sri Lanka and also to
the Philippines. But I must go to Asia. Because Pope Benedict did not have
time to go to Asia, and it is important. He went to Australia and then to
Europe and America, but Asia... Going to Argentina: at the moment I think
this can wait a little, because all these journeys have a certain priority. I
wanted to go to Istanbul on 30 September, to visit Bartholomaios I, but it is not
possible, it is not possible because of my schedule. If we meet, it will be in
Jerusalem.
Fatima?
Pope Francis:
Fatima, there is also an invitation to Fatima, its true, its true. There is an
invitation to go to Fatima.
30 September or 30 November?
Pope Francis:
November, November: Saint Andrew.
Father Lombardi:
Good. Well, now we move to the United States, and we invite Ada Messia
from CNN to ask you a question:
Ada Messia:
Greetings. You are coping better than I ... No, no, no, its all right, its all right.
My question is this: when you met the young people from Argentina, maybe
with tongue in cheek, maybe seriously, you told them that you too, at times,
feel penned in. We would like to know what exactly you were referring to...
938

Pope Francis:
You know how often Ive wanted to go walking through the streets of Rome,
because, in Buenos Aires, I liked to go for a walk in the city; I really liked to do
that! In this sense, I feel a little penned in. But I have to say one thing and that
is that these fellows from the Vatican Gendarmerie are so good, they are
really, really good, and I am grateful to them. Now theyre letting me do a
few more things! I think their job is to maintain security. So, penned in in that
sense. Id like to go out walking but I understand that it isnt possible: I
understand. That was what I meant. Because I used to be as we say in
Buenos Aires a callejero, a street priest
Father Lombardi:
And now we call on another Brazilian: it is Marcio Campos, and I also ask Mr
Gunois to come up for the next question, for the French.
Pope Francis:
I was asking what time it is, because they have to serve supper, but are you
all hungry?
Background:
No, no
Marcio Campos:
Holy Father, I want to say that whenever you miss Brazil, the joyful Brazilian
people, hold onto the flag that I gave you. I would also like to thank my
colleagues at the daily newspapers Folha de So
Paulo, Estado, Globo and Veja for being able to represent them in this
question. Holy Father, it is difficult to accompany a Pope, very difficult. We are
all tired, you are going strong and we are exhausted In Brazil, the Catholic
Church has lost a number of the faithful in these recent years. Is the
Charismatic Renewal movement one possible way for ensuring that the
faithful do not go to the Pentecostal Church or other pentecostal churches?
Many thanks for your presence and many thanks for being with us.
Pope Francis:
It is very true what you are saying about the fall in numbers of the faithful: it is
true, it is true. The statistics are there. We spoke with the Brazilian bishops
about the problem at a meeting held yesterday. You asked about the
Charismatic Renewal movement. Ill tell you one thing. Back at the end of the
1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, I had no time for them. Once,
speaking about them, I said: These people confuse a liturgical celebration
with samba lessons! I actually said that. Now I regret it. I learned. It is also true
that the movement, with good leaders, has made great progress. Now I think
that this movement does much good for the Church, overall. In Buenos Aires, I
met frequently with them and once a year I celebrated a Mass with all of
them in the Cathedral. I have always supported them, after I was converted,
after I saw the good they were doing. Because at this time in the Church
and here Ill make my answer a little more general I believe that the
movements are necessary. The movements are a grace of the Spirit. But how
can you control a movement which is so free? The Church is free, too! The
Holy Spirit does what he wants. He is the one who creates harmony, but I do
believe that the movements are a grace, those movements which have the
spirit of the Church. Consequently I dont think that the Charismatic Renewal
movement merely prevents some people from passing over to Pentecostal
denominations. No! It is also a service to the Church herself! It renews us.
939

Everyone seeks his own movement, according to his own charism, where the
Holy Spirit draws him or her.
Question in the background:
Pope Francis:
Yo estoy cansado. I am tired.
Father Lombardi:
So, Mr. Gunois from Le Figaro, for the French group.
Jean-Marie Gunois:
Holy Father, one question, with my colleague from La Croix: You have said
that without women, the Church grows barren. What concrete measures will
you take? For example, the diaconate for women or a woman as a head of
dicastery? Also, a little technical question: you said you were tired. Have
special arrangements been made for the return flight? Thank you, Your
Holiness.
Pope Francis:
Lets begin with the last question. This plane doesnt have any special
arrangements. I am up front, I have a nice seat, a normal one, the same as
everyone else has. I had them write a letter and make a phone call to say
that I did not want special arrangements on the plane: is that clear? Second,
about women. A Church without women is like the college of the Apostles
without Mary. The role of women in the Church is not simply that of maternity,
being mothers, but much greater: it is precisely to be the icon of the Virgin, of
Our Lady; what helps make the Church grow! But think about it, Our Lady is
more important than the Apostles! She is more important! The Church is
feminine. She is Church, she is bride, she is mother. But women, in the Church,
must not only I dont know how to say this in Italian the role of women in
the Church must not be limited to being mothers, workers, a limited role No!
It is something else! But the Popes.. Paul VI wrote beautifully of women, but I
believe that we have much more to do in making explicit this role and
charism of women. We cant imagine a Church without women, but women
active in the Church, with the distinctive role that they play. I think of an
example which has nothing to do with the Church, but is an historical
example: in Latin America, Paraguay. For me, the women of Paraguay are
the most glorious women in Latin America. Are you paraguayo? After the war,
there were eight women for every man, and these women made a rather
difficult decision: the decision to bear children in order to save their country,
their culture, their faith, and their language. In the Church, this is how we
should think of women: taking risky decisions, yet as women. This needs to be
better explained. I believe that we have not yet come up with a profound
theology of womanhood, in the Church. All we say is: they can do this, they
can do that, now they are altar servers, now they do the readings, they are in
charge of Caritas (Catholic charities). But there is more! We need to develop
a profound theology of womanhood. That is what I think.
Father Lombardi:
For the Spanish group, now, we have Pablo Ordas, from El Pas:
Pablo Ordas:
We would like to know about your working relationship, not just your
relationship of friendship but that of collaboration, with Benedict XVI. There
has never been a situation like this before, and whether you are frequently in
contact and if he is helping you in this work. Many thanks.
940

Pope Francis:
I think that the last time that there were two Popes, or three Popes, they
werent speaking to one another; they were fighting to see which was the
true Pope. We ended up with three Popes during the Western Schism.
There is one thing that describes my relationship with Benedict: I have such
great affection for him. I have always loved him. For me he is a man of God,
a humble man, a man of prayer. I was so happy when he was elected Pope.
Also, when he resigned, for me it was an example of greatness. A great man.
Only a great man does this! A man of God and a man of prayer. Now he is
living in the Vatican, and there are those who tell me: How can this be? Two
Popes in the Vatican! Doesnt he get in your way? Isnt he plotting against
you? All these sorts of things, no? I have found a good answer for this: Its
like having your grandfather in the house, a wise grandfather. When families
have a grandfather at home, he is venerated, he is loved, he is listened to.
Pope Benedict is a man of great prudence. He doesnt interfere! I have often
told him so: Holiness, receive guests, lead your own life, come along with us.
He did come for the unveiling and blessing of the statue of Saint Michael. So,
that phrase says it all. For me its like having a grandfather at home: my own
father. If I have a difficulty, or something I dont understand, I can call him on
the phone: Tell me, can I do this? When I went to talk with him about that
big problem, Vatileaks, he told me everything with great simplicity to be
helpful. There is something I dont know whether you are aware of I believe
you are, but Im not certain when he spoke to us in his farewell address, on
28 February, he said: In your midst is the next Pope: I promise him
obedience. He is a great man; this is a great man!
Father Lombardi:
Now it is the turn of a Brazilian once again; Ana Fereira; and then Gianguido
Vecchi for the Italians.
Ana Fereira:
Good evening, Holy Father. Thanks. I would like to say any number of
thanks. Thanks for having brought so much joy to Brazil, and thanks also for
responding to our questions. We journalists really like to ask questions. I would
like to know, since yesterday you spoke to the Brazilian bishops about the
participation of women in our Church... I would like to understand better,
what this participation of us women in the Church would be like. Also, what
do you think of womens ordination? What should our position in the Church
be like?
Pope Francis:
I would like to explain a bit more what I said about womens participation in
the Church. It cant just be about their acting as altar servers, heads
of Caritas, catechists No! They have to be more, profoundly more, even
mystically more, along with everything I said about the theology of
womanhood. And, as far as womens ordination is concerned, the Church
has spoken and said: No. John Paul II said it, but with a definitive
formulation. That door is closed, but on this issue I want to tell you something. I
have said it, but I repeat it. Our Lady, Mary, was more important than the
Apostles, than bishops and deacons and priests. Women, in the Church, are
more important than bishops and priests; how, this is something we have to try
to explain better, because I believe that we lack a theological explanation of
this. Thank you.

Father Lombardi:
Gianguido Vecchi, from Corriere della Sera: then I would ask Mrs Pigozzi and
Nicole to come forward.
Gianguido Vecchi:
Holy Father, during this visit too, you have frequently spoken of mercy. With
regard to the reception of the sacraments by the divorced and remarried, is
there the possibility of a change in the Churchs discipline? That these
sacraments might be an opportunity to bring these people closer, rather than
a barrier dividing them from the other faithful?
Pope Francis:
This is an issue which frequently comes up. Mercy is something much larger
than the one case you raised. I believe that this is the season of mercy. This
new era we have entered, and the many problems in the Church like the
poor witness given by some priests, problems of corruption in the Church, the
problem of clericalism for example have left so many people hurt, left so
much hurt. The Church is a mother: she has to go out to heal those who are
hurting, with mercy. If the Lord never tires of forgiving, we have no other
choice than this: first of all, to care for those who are hurting. The Church is a
mother, and she must travel this path of mercy. And find a form of mercy for
all. When the prodigal son returned home, I dont think his father told him:
You, sit down and listen: what did you do with the money? No! He
celebrated! Then, perhaps, when the son was ready to speak, he spoke. The
Church has to do this, when there is someone not only wait for them, but go
out and find them! That is what mercy is. And I believe that this is a kairos: this
time is a kairos of mercy. But John Paul II had the first intuition of this, when he
began with Faustina Kowalska, the Divine Mercy He had something, he had
intuited that this was a need in our time. With reference to the issue of giving
communion to persons in a second union (because those who are divorced
can receive communion, there is no problem, but when they are in a second
union, they cant), I believe that we need to look at this within the larger
context of the entire pastoral care of marriage. And so it is a problem. But
also a parenthesis the Orthodox have a different practice. They follow the
theology of what they calloikonomia, and they give a second chance, they
allow it. But I believe that this problem and here I close the parenthesis
must be studied within the context of the pastoral care of marriage. And so,
two things: first, one of the themes to be examined with the eight members of
the Council of Cardinals with whom I will meet on 1-3 October is how to move
forward in the pastoral care of marriage, and this problem will come up there.
And a second thing: two weeks ago the Secretary of the Synod of Bishops
met with me about the theme of the next Synod. It was an anthropological
theme, but talking it over, going back and forth, we saw this anthropological
theme: how does the faith help with ones personal life-project, but in the
family, and so pointing towards the pastoral care of marriage. We are moving
towards a somewhat deeper pastoral care of marriage. And this is a problem
for everyone, because there are so many of them, no? For example, I will only
mention one: Cardinal Quarracino, my predecessor, used to say that as far as
he was concerned, half of all marriages are null. But why did he say this?
Because people get married lacking maturity, they get married without
realizing that it is a life-long commitment, they get married because society
tells them they have to get married. And this is where the pastoral care of
942

marriage also comes in. And then there is the legal problem of matrimonial
nullity, this has to be reviewed, because ecclesiastical tribunals are not
sufficient for this. It is complex, the problem of the pastoral care of marriage.
Thank you.
Father Lombardi:
Thank you. And now we have Mrs Pigozzi, from Paris Match, also from the
French group
Carolina Pigozzi:
Good evening, Holy Father. I would like to know if, now that you are the Pope,
you still feel that you are a Jesuit
Pope Francis:
That is a theological question, because Jesuits make a vow of obedience to
the Pope. But if the Pope is a Jesuit, perhaps he has to make a vow of
obedience to the General of the Jesuits! I dont know how to resolve this I
feel a Jesuit in my spirituality; in the spirituality of the Exercises, the spirituality
deep in my heart. I feel this so deeply that in three days I will go to celebrate
with the Jesuits the feast of Saint Ignatius: I will say the morning Mass. I have
not changed my spirituality, no. Francis, Franciscan, no. I feel a Jesuit and I
think as a Jesuit. I dont mean that hypocritically, but I think as a Jesuit. Thank
you.
Father Lombardi:
If you can hold out, there are still some questions. Now, Nicole Winfield, from
the Associated Press, and there are I had a list and actually I thought you
had things planned among yourselves Anyway, Elisabetta, get in line too,
sorry.
Nicole Winfield:
Your Holiness, thank you once again for coming among the lions. Your
Holiness, in the fourth month of your pontificate, I wanted to ask you to make
a little tally. Can you tell us what is the best thing about being Pope, an
anecdote, and what is the worst, and what is the thing that has most surprised
you in this period?
Pope Francis:
I dont know how to answer that, really. Big things, major things, there just
havent been any. Beautiful things, yes; for example, my meeting with the
Italian bishops was very good, very good. As Bishop of the capital of Italy, I
felt at home with them. And that was good, but I dont know if it was the best.
Also a painful thing, one which really touched my heart, the visit to
Lampedusa. It was enough to make you weep, it did me good. When these
boats arrive, they leave them several miles out from the coastline and they
must come ashore alone, on a boat. And this pains me because I think that
these people are victims of a world-wide socio-economic system. But the
worst thing that happened excuse me was an attack of sciatica really!
that I had the first month, because I was sitting in an armchair to do interviews
and it hurt. Sciatica is very painful, very painful! I don't wish it on anyone! But
these things: talking with people; the meeting with seminarians and religious
was quite beautiful, it was really beautiful. Also, the meeting with the students
of Jesuit schools was very beautiful good things.
Question:
What surprised you most?
Pope Francis:
943

People, people, the good people I found. I found many good people in the
Vatican. I was wondering what I could say, but that is true. I am being fair in
saying this: so many good people. So many good people, so many good
people, but good, good, good!
Father Lombardi:
Elisabetta, someone that you know, and also Sergio Rubini, come forward,
and so now we have the Argentinians.
Elisabetta Piqu
Pope Francis, first of all, on behalf of the fifty thousand Argentinians whom I
met and who told me, You will be travelling with the Pope, so please tell him
that he was fantastic, stupendous; ask him when he will come. But you
already said you wouldnt be going .... therefore, I would like to ask you a
more difficult question. Were you afraid when you saw the Vatileaks report?
Pope Francis
No! I will tell you a story about the Vatileaks report. When I met with Pope
Benedict, after we had prayed in the Chapel, we were in his study and I saw
a large box and envelope. Excuse me . . . Benedict said to me; In this big box
are all the statements, all that the witnesses said, everything is there. But the
summary and the final judgment are in this envelope. And it says here . . . He
had it all in his head! What intelligence! Everything memorized, everything! But
no, it didnt frighten me, no. No, no. Though it is a big problem. But it didnt
frighten me.
Sergio Rubn
Your Holiness, two things. The first is this: you insisted a great deal on stemming
the loss of the faithful. In Brazil, you were very strong. Do you hope that this trip
will contribute to people returning to the Church, to them feeling closer to the
Church? And second, more informally: you loved Argentina and held Buenos
Aires in your heart. The Argentinians are asking if you miss Buenos Aires a lot,
riding on the bus, walking through the streets? Many thanks.
Pope Francis
I believe that a Papal trip always helps. I believe it will do Brazil good, not just
because the Pope was present, but because of what happened during WYD,
how the youth mobilized themselves and these young people will do great
good, and maybe they will be able to help the Church a great deal. But
these faithful who have left the Church, many are not happy because they
know they belong to the Church. I think that this will be very positive, not only
for the trip, but above all for the event. WYD was a marvellous event. And yes,
at times I do miss Buenos Aires and I feel it. But I am serene about it. But I
believe that you, Sergio, know me better than all the others and you are able
to answer this question, with the book that you wrote!
Padre Lombardi
Now we have the Russian reporter and then there is Valentina, our senior
reporter, who would like to be last.
Alexey Bukalov
Good evening, Holy Father. Holy Father, returning to ecumenism: today, the
Orthodox are celebrating one thousand and twenty-five years of Christianity,
and there are great festivities in many capital cities. If you would comment on
this, I would be grateful. Thank you.
Pope Francis
944

In the Orthodox Churches, they have retained that pristine liturgy, which is so
beautiful. We have lost some of the sense of adoration. The Orthodox
preserved it; they praise God, they adore God, they sing, time does not
matter. God is at the centre, and I would like to say, as you ask me this
question, that this is a richness. Once, speaking of the Western Church, of
Western Europe, especially the older Church, they said this phrase to me: Lux
ex oriente, ex occidente luxus. Consumerism, comfort, they have done such
harm. Instead, you retain this beauty of God in the centre, the reference
point. When reading Dostoevsky I believe that for all of us he is an author
that we must read and reread due to his wisdom one senses what the
Russian soul is, what the eastern soul is. It is something that does us much
good. We need this renewal, this fresh air from the East, this light from the East.
John Paul II wrote about this in his Letter. But many times the luxus of the West
makes us lose this horizon. I dont know, but these are the thoughts that come
to me. Thank you.
Father Lombardi
And now we close with Valentina who, having been first during the trip to Rio
de Janiero, will be the last for the return trip to Rome.
Valentina Alazraki
Your Holiness, thank you for keeping your promise to respond to our questions
on this return trip
Pope Francis
I have made you late for dinner
Valentina Alazraki
It doesnt matter ... The question for all Mexicans is: when are you going to visit
Guadalupe? ... But this is the question of the Mexicans ... Mine would be: you
will canonize recently the two great Popes, John XXIII and John Paul II. I would
like to know what is according to you the model of holiness that emerges
from them both and what is the impact that these Popes have had on the
Church and on you?
Pope Francis
John XXIII is a bit like the figure of the country priest, the priest who loves all
the faithful, who knows how to care for the faithful and this he did as a Bishop,
and as a Nuncio. How many baptismal certificates did he forge in Turkey to
help the Jews! He was courageous, a good country priest, with a great sense
of humour, and great holiness. When he was Nuncio, some did not support
him in the Vatican, and when he would arrive in Rome to deliver something or
to ask a question, certain offices would make him wait. But he never
complained: he would pray the Rosary, say the breviary. He was meek and
humble, and he always concerned himself with the poor. When Cardinal
Casaroli returned from a mission I believe it was from Hungary or from what
was then Czechoslovakia, I dont remember which, though the Cardinal
went to Pope John to tell him how the mission went, in that epoch of the
diplomacy of small steps. And the Pope and Cardinal Casaroli met twenty
days later Pope John XXIII would be dead and as the Cardinal was leaving,
the Pope stopped him: Your Eminence no, he wasnt yet a Cardinal Your
Excellency, a question: are you still going to see those young people? He
asked because Cardinal Casaroli had been going to the juvenile prison in
Casal del Marmo and visiting with the young people. And Cardinal Casaroli
said: Yes, yes! Never abandon them. This to a diplomat, who was
945

returning from a diplomatic mission, a very important trip, that John XXIII said:
Never abandon the young. How great he was, how great! Then, he was
also a man of the Council: he was a man docile to the voice of God, which
came to him through the Holy Spirit, and he was docile to the Spirit. Pius XII
was thinking of calling the Council, but the circumstances werent right. I
believe that John XXIII didnt think about the circumstances: he felt and
acted. He was a man who let the Lord guide him. Regarding John Paul II, I
would say he was the great missionary of the Church: he was a missionary,
a man who carried the Gospel everywhere, as you know better than I. How
many trips did he make? But he went! He felt this fire of carrying forth the
Word of the Lord. He was like Paul, like Saint Paul, he was such a man; for me
this is something great. And to canonize them both together will be, I believe,
a message for the Church: these two were wonderful, both of them. Paul VIs
cause is also under way, as is the cause of John Paul I. Both are under way.
One more thing that I believe I said already, but I dont know if I said it here or
elsewhere the canonization date. One date under consideration was 8
December this year, but there is a significant problem; those who will come
from Poland some can afford to come by air, but the poor will come by bus
and the roads are already icy in December, so I think the date needs to be
rethought. I spoke with Cardinal Dziwisz and he suggested to me two
possibilities: Christ the King Sunday this year or Divine Mercy Sunday next year.
I think there is too little time for Christ the King this year, since the Consistory will
be on 30 September and the end of October will be too soon. But I dont
know. I must speak with Cardinal Amato about this. But I dont think it will be 8
December.
Question from the floor
But they will be canonized together?
Pope Francis
Both together, yes.
Father Lombardi
Thank you, Your Holiness. Who is still to come? Ilze? Then everyone will have
had a turn, even more than had signed up before
Ilze Scamparini
I would like permission to ask a delicate question: another image that has
been going around the world is that of Monsignor Ricca and the news about
his private life. I would like to know, Your Holiness, what you intend to do
about this? How are you confronting this issue and how does Your Holiness
intend to confront the whole question of the gay lobby?
Pope Francis
About Monsignor Ricca: I did what canon law calls for that is a preliminary
investigation. And from this investigation, there was nothing of what had been
alleged. We did not find anything of that. This is the response. But I wish to add
something else: I see that many times in the Church, over and above this
case, but including this case, people search for sins from youth, for
example, and then publish them. They are not crimes, right? Crimes are
something different: the abuse of minors is a crime. No, sins. But if a person,
whether it be a lay person, a priest or a religious sister, commits a sin and then
converts, the Lord forgives, and when the Lord forgives, the Lord forgets and
this is very important for our lives. When we confess our sins and we truly say, I
have sinned in this, the Lord forgets, and so we have no right not to forget,
946

because otherwise we would run the risk of the Lord not forgetting our sins.
That is a danger. This is important: a theology of sin. Many times I think of Saint
Peter. He committed one of the worst sins, that is he denied Christ, and even
with this sin they made him Pope. We have to think a great deal about that.
But, returning to your question more concretely. In this case, I conducted
the preliminary investigation and we didnt find anything. This is the first
question. Then, you spoke about the gay lobby. So much is written about the
gay lobby. I still havent found anyone with an identity card in the Vatican
with gay on it. They say there are some there. I believe that when you are
dealing with such a person, you must distinguish between the fact of a person
being gay and the fact of someone forming a lobby, because not all lobbies
are good. This one is not good. If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord
and has good will, then who am I to judge him? The Catechism of the
Catholic Church explains this in a beautiful way, saying Wait a moment,
how does it say it ... it says: no one should marginalize these people for this,
they must be integrated into society. The problem is not having this
tendency, no, we must be brothers and sisters to one another, and there is this
one and there is that one. The problem is in making a lobby of this tendency:
a lobby of misers, a lobby of politicians, a lobby of masons, so many lobbies.
For me, this is the greater problem. Thank you so much for asking this question.
Many thanks.
Father Lombardi:
Thank you. It seems to me that we cannot do more than we have done. We
have kept the Pope too long, after he already said he was a little tired. We
wish him now some time of rest.
Pope Francis:
Thank you. Goodnight, have a good trip and rest well.
Arrival at Rome/Ciampino Airport
Pope Francis arrived at Romes Ciampino airport a little before 3:25 A.M. (Rome

The Pope brought with him a bouquet of flowers, which a seven-year-old Korean girl,
named Mary Sol, had given him before his flight departed from the Seoul Air Base at
1 p.m., local time. According to a report by the Osservatore Romano, the Pope had
promised the girl he would give these flowers as a gift to Our Lady.
Upon his arrival, the Pope was driven from Ciampino airport to the Basilica of Saint
Mary Major, where he is said to have placed these flowers at the foot of the Marian
statue of Salus Populi Romani. There, he offered prayers of thanksgiving to Our Lady
for his trip to the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Fiji, New Zealand,
Australia, Sri Lanka and Seychelles. The Pope had visited the basilica prior to his trip
and had entrusted his journey to Mary.
Meanwhile, environmentalists and community leaders around Rizal Park and Quiapo
area are calling for an annual green celebration of the anniversary of the religious
group Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide.
Local leaders and the environmental network Ecowaste Coalition urged devotees and
visitors to couple their devotion to the Jesus Christ, our Lord, and our Savior with
respect for the environment.
The call came as participants leading to the annual anniversary celebration of the
religious group on October every year since October 1979.
Combining our peoples amazing devotion to the Jesus Christ our Lord with action
respecting, nurturing and defending Mother Earth will be a powerful force of hope
and deliverance against those who trash and ruin the environment, Tin Vergara, Zero
Waste Campaigner of the EcoWaste Coalition, said.
If the millions of devotees who come to Rizal Park and Quiapo will simply not litter
and avoid waste in all its forms, well have a feast that is pleasing to the eyes and
pleasing to the Lord, she added.
Past celebrations in 35 years have seen truckloads of garbage collected from Rizal
Park to Port Area to Ermita to Quiapo that included cigarette butts, candy and snack
wrappers, plastic bags, cups, bottles and straws, polystyrene food containers and
bamboo skewers that often cause injuries to barefooted participants.
Post-Papal Visit
Velarde tells flock: God is

with us
By Stella O. Gonzales
IF GOD is with us, who can be against us?
This was the message of Mariano ''Brother Mike'' Velarde to El Shaddai members in
the face of a possible inquiry by the Catholic hierarchy into alleged violations of
Church doctrines by the charismatic movement's leader and flock.
Ang sabi ng Panginoon, mapapalad ang mga inaapi sapagkat si El Shaddai ang
kakampi (The Lord said, blessed are those who are persecuted because they have El
948

Shaddai on their side), Velarde intoned as the choir behind him broke into a song
during the regular Saturday night worship and healing prayer rally of El Shaddai at
the Rizal Park.
He responded to accusations and questions that have been raised about him and his
group, including the source of his money.
He said most of his money came from the sale of real estate property but he did not
want to boast about it. He said the money spent for his huge weekend extravaganza on
October 25-27 at the Rizal Park came not from his followers but from ''the hands of
God.
Velarde delivered his healing message in Pilipino for three-and-a-half hours, talking
about faith. In between, he talked about how the religious organization he founded 30
years ago was now being questioned and derided by intelligent people.
Last week, Butuan Catholic Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos proposed that the
permanent council of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines look into
whether Velarde, by issuing pronouncements on Charter change which run counter to
the CBCP position, is contradicting Church teachings.
Pueblos still has to formalize his proposal before the council could take this up in its
November 23 meeting.
The controversy erupted when Velarde held a huge party at the Rizal Park on October
26, stealing the thunder from former President Fidel Ramos and bishops who led a
protest rally in Makati City against President Estrada's plan to change the
Constitution.
The President attended the El Shaddai gathering and delivered a speech that criticized
those who were opposing his plans to amend the Constitution.
Blessing
On Saturday night, Velarde answered most of the accusations raised against him and
El Shaddai but not the one made by Pueblos.
Velarde noted that newspaper reports had not been too kind to him and his flock. He
said a friend called him up last week and told him, Condolence because you are
being butchered in the papers.
I told my friend, that is a blessing given to us, Velarde narrated.
He said that when he was just starting his ministry and was a nobody, no one made an
issue.
Ngayong wala akong ginagawa, pinag-iinitan ako (Now that I am doing nothing,
they are training their guns at me), he said.
On where he got the money to buy the food (roasted calves, pigs and chickens) for El
Shaddais celebration, Velarde told his members: Hindi sa bulsa niyo kundi sa
kamay ng Diyos (Not from your pockets but from the hands of God).''
Why build a church?
He said most of his money now came from his real estate business. ''I just did not
want to say this before because they'd say I was boasting,'' he said.
''Before, they claimed I owned vast tracts of land. I said 'I hope it becomes true.' And
it did. Now, they're saying I have billions of pesos hidden somewhere. I just hope it
becomes true.''
On why El Shaddai does not use its money to build a church, Velarde said: ''Bakit
tayo magtatayo ng gusaling simbahan? Tayo ang templo ng Diyos. Pupunuin nating
muli ang Iglesia Katoliko (Why should we build a structure? We are the church of
God. We will once more fill the Catholic Church).''
949

On where El Shaddai puts its money, Velarde said this is mostly spent on radio and
television spots to broadcast the religious movement's gatherings to reach out to more
people.
It also sustains El Shaddai chapters abroad and provides the basic needs of El Shaddai
workers, he said.
The movement is also involved in continuing relief operations.
''We keep giving, we just don't have them publicized in the newspapers,'' Velarde said.
Derided
He noted that newspapers had been deriding him and El Shaddai. He cited as example
newspaper photographs and articles focusing on the practice of members opening
their umbrellas upside down to catch the Lord's blessings.
It's not raining, it's nighttime and there's no sun but your umbrellas are open, and
they are even upside down,'' he told his members after they followed his instructions
for them to open their umbrellas.
Lalo tayong pagtatawanan nito (All the more people will laugh at us now), the
charismatic preacher teased his followers.
He also noted that his diction was being ridiculed.
Sabi sa pahayagan, English probinsyano daw tayo. Guwapo naman (A newspaper
said my English is that of someone from the province. At least I'm handsome), he
said.
Ignore them
But he said he was not angry at those who are persecuting him. He told his members
that they, too, should not be troubled.
Let's not respond anymore to those who are challenging us, he said. Let's just
ignore them. We will be blessed by El Shaddai.
Velarde quoted a biblical verse: ''Ang pinagpapala ng Diyos, hindi maaaring isumpa
nino man (Those blessed by God cannot be cursed by anyone).
''Masama man ang hangarin ng sumisira, kapag 'di ka gumanti, gagawin ng Diyos ang
nakabubuti (Even if those who persecute you have evil motives, if you do not
retaliate, God will do what is good),'' he added.
He said those with faith in the Lord must be ready to face persecution: ''Sinisira,
pinaparatangan na magnanakaw pero hindi nagagalit, bagkus nagpupuri sa
Diyos (Vilified, accused of stealing, but never angry and instead praise God).''
The crowd was delighted when he described the accusations against them as ''gintong
lantay na galing kay Kristo (genuine gold from Christ).''
His last words to his members could well be his message to himself: Be tolerant of
those who condemn.
''Kahit anong gawin ng kaibigan o kaaway, tingnan niyong ito'y nakabubuti. Huwag
kayong magagalit sa kanila (No matter what your friends or enemies do, view it as
something that will do you good. Do not be angry at them).''
No excommunication
Davao del Sur Bishop Generoso Camia of the Diocese of Digos admitted that the
Catholic Church could only appeal to El Shaddai members not to let themselves be
used for political purposes.
A lot of the Catholic faithful are asking if it is possible to excommunicate Brother
Mike because of his personal stand which goes against the stand of the Church,
Camia said.
This could not be done because he is not opposing Church doctrines. We can appeal
to El Shaddai members not to allow people with immoral agenda to use them.
950

Camia also accused Velarde of using El Shaddai to push for the Aquino III
administration's immoral and anti-people agenda.
Citing Velarde's planned prayer meeting to coincide with the nationwide rallies
against Charter change on January 18, Camia said it was clear El Shaddai is
becoming a political group.
His moves are clearly designed to collide with the plans of those opposing the
Aquino III administrations anti-people agenda such as Charter change, the bishop
said.
When did El Shaddai ever hold prayer meetings on Tuesdays? he added. Their
schedules are Saturdays and Sundays. Allan A. Nawal, Jowel F. Canuday, PDI

Bishops start move to rein in Bro. Mike
(By Stella O. Gonzales)
Manila, Philippines, November 14, 2014 (INQUIRER) - THE CATHOLIC Bishops

Conference of the Philippines yesterday urged El Shaddai leader Mariano Bro.
Mike Velarde to adhere to the Catholic hierarchy's socio-moral position on public
issues and exercise transparency in the management of the group's funds.
The bishops also want Velarde, who has admitted to a lack of knowledge of Catholic
doctrinal matters, and his volunteer preachers to study the doctrine and the faith.
They also asked Velarde not to encourage superstitious beliefs and cultist practices
among El Shaddai members.
The five-point bill of recommendations was arrived at after a meeting yesterday of the
Permanent Council of the CBCP, the highest decision-making body of the country's
Catholic hierarchy.
The CBCP said, however, it had not discussed whether it would penalize Velarde if he
were to ignore the bishops' suggestions.
Bro. Mikes move
The CBCP Permanent Council has given its fraternal recommendation as becoming
of good Christians. Our subsequent action will be dictated by the action of Bro.
Mike Velarde on these concerns,'' said CBCP president Archbishop Oscar Cruz.
No timetable was set for Velarde's compliance with the suggestions from the CBCP.
Cruz stressed that the bishops' concerns, to be coursed through El Shaddai spiritual
adviser Bishop Teodoro Bacani, were merely advisory.
It's not even a warning But the concerns are serious and we present them
seriously. It cannot be taken lightly, but neither is it a threat, Cruz said.
Velarde was reported to be in Hong Kong yesterday and was expected back later this
week. His spokesman, Bro. Mel Robles, refused to comment on the matter until he
receives the formal advisory from Bacani.
Right now, the ball is with Bishop Bacani, Robles told the INQUIRER.
The CBCP's Cruz said Bacani (was) one with us in these concerns. He said he had
been in close communication with Bacani on the case.
We did not take the case of Bro. Mike Velarde independently of Bishop Bacani,
Cruz said.
One of 30 issues
The El Shaddai case was one of 30 issues discussed by the 10-man Permanent
Council in yesterday's meeting. Cruz said he took the initiative to include the topic in
the agenda. The discussion was not about El Shaddai, but its founder, Velarde.
951

Yesterday was the fourth time that the CBCP had taken up the El Shaddai issue since
the group's founding 30 years ago. In 1993, Velarde was asked to appear before the
CBCP Plenary Assembly in Tagaytay City to clarify some matters.
In 1995, the bishops asked more clarificatory questions. In 1996, the bishops asked
Bacani about the complaints made by a former policeman who left El Shaddai after
making allegations of irregularities.
Yesterday was the first time that the CBCP decided to formally express its concerns
because, Cruz said, El Shaddai had become so big, its membership estimated by
Velarde at 10 million.
Opposing views
Cruz noted that of the hundreds of Catholic lay leaders in the country, only Velarde
held opposing views to the CBCP's socio-moral positions.
All of a sudden we have this phenomenon of a big group veering away so it has
caught our attention. We thought that it was about time we be more formal about it,''
Cruz said.
He also said that United States bishops, during a meeting with Philippine bishops on
October 29, raised their concern about El Shaddai chapters in the US. The CBCP has
also been getting many letters from Catholics for and against El Shaddai.
''Ang amin lamang pahatid sa kanya ay makiisa siya sa CBCP sapagka't baka
mapagkamalan siyang humihiwalay sa simbahan at sa CBCP (What we want to
communicate to him is that he be one with the CBCP, because he could be suspected
of breaking away from the Church and the CBCP.),' Cruz said.
The first of CBCP's five concerns involves Velarde's position on so-called sociomoral issues.
''We are inviting (Velarde) to be more in solidarity with the CBCP in its socio-moral
positions rather than with merely partisan political options, lest this be misconstrued
as contradicting and thus in effect separating Mr. Velarde and the movement from the
ecclesiastical leadership of the country,'' the Council said.
No bearing
Cruz explained that Velarde's stand on the death penalty and the Visiting Forces
Agreement ''has absolutely no bearing on the advisory of the Permanent Council.''
He said the CBCP was focusing its attention on Velarde and not on other Catholics
who also hold views contrary to the Catholic hierarchy's ''because he is not an
ordinary Catholic who cannot sway other Catholics.''
''If he is not a leader, he would not be noticed. He is leading a Catholic flock and the
people belong to the Catholic Church,'' Cruz said.
The second CBCP concern is the need to ''strengthen the sound and sufficient
formation of the movement's leaders in order to make them more credible and
acceptable not only to the laity they serve but to the local Church leadership.''
Because El Shaddai was a supposedly Catholic movement, Velarde and his volunteer
preachers should get more Catholic foundation--we have noticed that they are not
grounded in Catholic doctrine and faith.
Prosperity gospel
Third, Velarde should ''be more prudent in encouraging practices that tend towards
superstition or cult of the founder's person and in stressing a prosperity Gospel that
fails to give sufficient attention to the Gospel of the Cross.''
An example cited by Cruz was the practice of El Shaddai members of opening their
umbrellas and turning them upside down supposedly in order to catch God's blessings.

''You might give a wrong impression of how God works. You need to be more careful
about these things,'' Cruz said.
The bishops are also concerned that El Shaddai might be too cult-oriented.
No focus on God
Baka naka-focus sa kanya (Velarde) ang mga tao at hindi sa Diyos, (people are
focusing on Velarde, not on God), Cruz said. ''The church is not grounded on
persons. If something is grounded on a person and the person leaves or dies, the flock
gets lost and scattered.''
Fourth, Velarde should ''be more receptive to collaborators who can be more objective
in their view and more dependable in their counsel.''
Cruz noted that Velarde relies on a council of advisers who help him run El Shaddai.
He said Velarde should get advisers who are ''not over dependent on him so he could
get a pretty good corporate advice.''
''Hindi yung kami-kami lang, tayo-tayo lang. This movement is bigger than tayo-tayo.
Get more people who are not 'yes men' to get more objective, dependable advice. Get
out of that inner circle, otherwise all the advice you would get are the ones you want
to hear,'' Cruz said.
Lastly, the bishops want Velarde, ''on his own initiative and responsible discretion'' to
be ''more transparent in the management of El Shaddai funds as these have
continuously been the aspect of his ministry most subject to criticism.''
Cruz stressed that the bishops were not telling Velarde to make an accounting of
funds to the CBCP. He said the CBCP was leaving it up to Velardes discretion how
he intended to make El Shaddai fund management more transparent.
Enchongs wish comes

true
AS ENCHONG Dee celebrated his 26th birthday recently, one of his foremost wishes
was for his maiden album to become successful.
Yes, I really hope and pray that Chinito Problems be warmly accepted by the
public. I want it to turn Gold if possible. From what Ive heard, its on its way to
reach that mark and Im so happy. It will be a huge feat on my part, he says.
Despite the fact that hes not really known to be a singer, his record album is doing
fine in the market.
Thats one thing Im thankful for. I didnt expect that the public will give it a warm
reception. You see, Im not trying to be a great singer here but more of a good
performer. In fact, you can notice that in the choice of songs I have. I know my vocal
limits so I picked those which just suit my range. Ha-ha-ha! But of course, theres the
hope that through constant practice in the passing of times, I will eventually end up as
a good singer
Surprisingly, he hasnt received any major bashing yet from detractors.
Yes, and thats good news! Initially, I was expecting that Id be receiving lots of
criticisms or violent reactions from people. Ha-ha-ha! The general reaction I get is
that they are surprised that I am able to sing. For me, thats positive. I just want to be
thankful especially upon learning that my carrier single is number one in some FM
stations. Dont you think its a wonderful birthday present?
953
Speaking of his birthday, the appealing lad points out that being 26 led him to various
life realizations.
Thats right! At this point, my eyes are open to a lot of real events, places and
people. I can say that I am more cautious and careful now. When you grow older, you
become stronger and wiser. Especially when it comes to meeting people and learning
how to screen them as they enter your circle. Its essential to evaluate them, if they are
worthy of your trust.
He sounds mature now. Has his new girlfriend Samantha Lewis got something to do
with it?
Oh yes! This is the most mature romantic relationship Ive ever had. Shes a positive
influence to me. Im grateful that shes non-showbiz. Its a complete breather, ends

TRIBUTE: Message for

Dr. Myles Munroe
The entire Christian world is in a state of mourning. We have lost a great man. A man
who has devoted his entire life in service to God and, in doing so, has inspired people
from all over the world to do the same.
History will forever record the name Dr. Myles Munroe as the pastor who died while
fulfilling Gods purposes in his life. Without any iota of doubt, he has finished the
race set before him by Christ. Surely, heavens thunderous applause welcomed him
in. For his was a short-lived, but well-lived life.
And so, to the bereaved family, friends and colleagues of Dr. Myles Munroe, and to
the congregation of Bahamas Faith Ministries International Fellowship, we share your
grief, but we also share heavens joy for the homecoming of a faithful servant.
Also, remember that our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all. (2 Corinthians 4:17)
So stand firm in the faith. And be assured that the Living Godand the prayers of the
whole Christian worldis backing you up.
Shalom,
(Sgd.) BRO. EDDIE C. VILLANUEVA
Spiritual Director and International President
Jesus Is Lord Church Worldwide
