Edu Gariguez, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines-National Secretariat for Social Action (CBCP-NASSA) said it would be the leader of the diocese where the chapels are located who will decide if they allow the chapels to be used as classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Pwede naman pero \u2018yung diocese magdecide dyan. Maliliit lang kasi \u2018yan (chapels) at kulang \u2019uyn. Pero nasa head ng diocese \u2018yun. Ganunpaman magamit man hindi sapat kasi maliit nga at hindi naman ganun kadami,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gariguez is certain that God would not mind if his house (chapels) will be used as classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Sa tingin ko wala masama dun mas matutuwa nga si Lord\u2026pero temporarily lang kasi ang puso naman ang Diyos mercy and compassion. Maiintindihan ng Diyos \u2018yun kung bakit ang simbahan e gagamitin,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The CBCP-NASSA official added, \u201c<em>Wala problema kung may kakulangan at kailangan talaga gamitin ang chapels., I don\u2019t think ipagdamot \u2018yan ng dioceses.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With this. Gariguez noted that the government should fast track its project in building more classrooms in areas devastated by the typhoon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Kung kulang ang classroom magpagawa agad kahit temporary kasi sabi ko nga meron naman pondo\u2026\u2019yung kakulangan sa classroom hindi dapat ibaling sa maliit na solusyon. Ano ba ang ugat ng problema? Bakit ba wala classroom e meron naman enough resources\u2026<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Catholic priest added that the Church and other civic organization both local and international are extending their hands to be able to build more classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Baka naman may classroom na ipinagawa pero kulang. Dapat pro actve ang government na tugunan ito. Tayo ay tumutulong lamang pero nasa kanila ang major role<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Public schools in the country are set to open on Monday, June 1 for school year 2015-2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA &#8212; A Catholic priest said that it would be the discretion of the diocese if it would allow the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":13191,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,604,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-education","category-news-ph","mauthors-philippines-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50919","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=50919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
