WelCom April 2022
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has denied accusations it is meddling in politics, saying that bishops only seek to speak the truth. The denial followed a charge that the bishops are interfering in the presidential campaign by frontrunner Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr, who was angered by a recent pastoral letter urging Catholics not to vote for candidates guilty of distorting history. The letter, released by the bishops in advance of the May 9 election, was seen as criticising Marcos Jr, who is accused of trying to whitewash abuses committed by his late father, Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
