DAVAO CITY<\/strong>\u00a0— The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on Friday denied endorsing 10 senatorial candidates for the May 13 elections.<\/p>\n

“This is pure fake news! Absolutely not true! Bishops and priests are not allowed to do that. That is clearly partisan politics,” a statement released by Davao Archbishop and CBCP president Romulo G. Valles, DD, said.<\/p>\n

Valles issued the statement following reports that CBCP released 10 names of senatorial bets it is supporting.<\/p>\n

Reports quoting a certain Julieta Wasan, president of Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas, said CBCP endorsed all eight candidates of the opposition slate and two others running as independent.<\/p>\n

Laiko is the implementing arm of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on the Laity.<\/p>\n

“I repeat: The CBCP did not make any such endorsement!” Valles, however, said.<\/p>\n

He said the CBCP continues to appeal to all Filipinos to vote wisely in the coming elections.<\/p>\n

“Let us continue to pray to the Lord for peaceful, credible and honest elections,” Valles said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
