MANILA – A Pangasinan-based priest on Thursday defended the Catholic Church’s support for Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan, noting that it is part of its moral obligation to guide the people in selecting leaders.
On Wednesday, many Catholic priests and nuns went house-to-house in Lingayen, accompanying Aika Robredo as she campaigned for her mother.
“Kailangan naming lumabas, kailangan naming tumayo para sa kanila. Bakit? Hindi dahil sa taong iyon bagkus iyon ang mandato namin sa Diyos (We need to go out, we need to stand up for them. Why? It is not for the person (referring to Robredo), instead, this is our mandate from God),” Fr. Jake Rubillos said in a statement.
He stated that the Catholic church’s stance is not for Robredo, but for truth and proper governance, particularly for the poor.
Some 1,400 Catholic bishops, priests, and deacons, belonging to the group “Clergy for the Moral Choice” endorsed the Leni-Kiko tandem in a parish church in Tondo.
When Robredo’s daughter, Tricia, visited on Thursday, about 200 members of the clergy, religious, and consecrated persons from the Archdiocese of Cebu also expressed their support for the tandem.
