MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on Monday assured that it will not take part in any destabilization plot against the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely\u00a0kung meron man<\/em>\u00a0plan\u00a0wala dun ang simbahan.<\/em>\u00a0I can say that. The Church is not in the habit of participating in these kinds of plans.\u00a0Walang ganun ang simbahan<\/em>,\u201d said Fr. Jerome Secillano, CBCP-Permanent Committee on Public Affairs (PCPA) executive secretary, in a forum in Manila.<\/p>\n

Secillano added that he cannot say, though, if such a plan exists.<\/p>\n

\u2018Yun lang ang gagawin kong<\/em>\u00a0assurance\u00a0sa inyo wala d\u2019yan ang simbahan. Walang<\/em>\u00a0participation\u00a0dyan ang simbahan<\/em>(That is the only assurance I can give you that the Church will not be involved in that. The Church will not participate in such plots),\u201d the priest added.<\/p>\n

He also noted that the Church is not an enemy but a partner of the government.<\/p>\n

He lauded President Rodrigo Duterte’s policies on certain issues including the closure of Boracay and cutting red tape.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Yung ginawa niya sa<\/em>\u00a0Boracay\u00a0malaki impact niya sa<\/em>\u00a0environment.\u00a0Meron siyang<\/em>\u00a0political will\u00a0sa mga bagay na ito. Nakikinig at umaaksyon, malaking bagay \u2018yun. Mga<\/em>\u00a0overseas Filipino workers (OFWs)\u00a0(na) lumapit sa kanya, natutulungan nya. Malaking bagay \u2018yun. \u2018Yung nabawasan \u2018yung<\/em>\u00a0bureaucratic process,\u00a0‘yung (dati) kasi kailangan dumaan pa kay ganito…meron din ginawang iba pa at na<\/em>-appreciate\u00a0namin \u2018yun<\/em>\u00a0(What he did to Boracay has a big impact on the environment. He has political will. He listens and acts. That is something big. He was able to help OFWs who are in need,” he added. “The bureaucratic process was also eased. In the past, one has to deal with some other officials. Much has been done and we appreciate that),” he said<\/p>\n

The Department of National Defense earlier said it is already looking into intelligence reports of destabilization plot against the President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
