Edu Gariguez, the executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines\u2019 (CBCP) National Secretariat for Social Action, Justice and Peace (Nassa), said.<\/p>\n<p>The statement was made yesterday during the Catholic Church\u2019s press briefing for the rehabilitation program of the survivors of the Supertyphoon \u201cYolanda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gariguez accompanied public affairs head of the CBCP Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo to met with Binay.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, clarified that his statement is coming from his personal opinion and is therefore not reflective of the official stand of the CBCP.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to earlier calls for the president to resign because of the delayed efforts of the government to help the Yolanda-devastated areas, Gariguz said that he did not supported such calls for resignation as he do not want the Vice President to succeed him from the post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to call for Aquino\u2019s resignation because Binay will replace him. And that\u2019s even worse, it\u2019s scary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith all the anomalies happening \u2026. The situation with P-Noy is that he\u2019s very inefficient. If Binay replaces him, it would be more than just a matter of efficiency. It will be a combination of past administrations like Joseph Estrada who is popular, at the same time Imeldific like the Marcoses \u2026 with houses as big as a palace,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Dismissing the Vice President\u2019s explanations as implausible, a priest from the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines said &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":8962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[2898],"class_list":["post-30998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-ph","tag-cbcp","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
