The 36th National Migrants Sunday (NMS) POSTER

poster meaning:

The Message of Pope Francis on the Occasion of the 108th World Day of Migrants and Refugees with a theme “BUILDING THE FUTURE WITH MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES” emphasizes our commitment to share in building the future that embraces God’s plan that no one should be excluded and left behind especially the most vulnerable members of our society - the sick, the poor, the prisoners, the migrants and refugees. The Globe with Jesus represents the world and the future. The Pope and Mary represent the Church, Faith and Humanity. The Gesture of the Hands of Mary and Jesus expresses WELCOME, EMBRACE & LOVE, reminding us also that we build the world and the future with our hands.

The people in the lower portion of the poster such as: Religious/Priest in Habit (left) – signifies the role of the Church in the process of MAKING SURE that migrants are WELCOMED and facilitate their participation in life of the local Church. The Migrant Families: the children represent the Future while the Man and women represent the hard-work and labor of their sacrifices in building up. Military Man represents political unrest, militarization, war and other forms of violence that forced people to migrate and take refuge in other countries. Woman with bag represents migrants bringing with them their culture, faith, experience, skills and trades and whatever they have to offer. Banner symbolizes the cooperation of the Church with NGOs, GOs, and civil society in building the world where no one is left behind.

The CBCP’s Episcopal Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People held its 7th Luzon Regional Assembly for the Migrant’s Ministry last August 5, 2022, from 8:30 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon via Zoom. Around 27 dioceses or 61% of the dioceses in Luzon with 82 participants attended the assembly under the umbrella of ECMI’S Luzon Inter-Diocesan Coordinating Council for Migrants Apostolate (LUDICMA).

The theme of the assembly is “Migrant’s Ministry, One with the Migrants Sector in the New Normal” with inspiration from the bible verse of Romans 12:16 “Live in Harmony with One Another. Do not be proud but enjoy the company of the lowly.”

The assembly had discussions on the following:
First, the Luzon Regional Migrant’s Ministry Status and Progress Report which was presented by the ECMI Luzon Coordinator Mr. Edmund Ruga. He presented that in almost 25 years of ECMI’s engagement and collaboration with the dioceses in Luzon, there are now 93% responding to the migrant’s apostolate, a big increase compared to 1995 when it only recorded a few dioceses responding.

Second, the update and orientation about the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), a newly created department by the government for OFWs, which was presented by its Assistant Secretary, Atty. Fransis Ron de Guzman. He committed to close collaboration with the church on its pastoral programs for OFWs.

Third, the presentations of different initiatives by the Diocesan Migration Commissions based on the programs/advocacies promoted by ECMI such as Combating Human Trafficking, Migrant’s Ministry Structure Building Program, Sons and Daughters of OFW Formation Program (SDOFP), and Local Government Partnership on Migration Concerns:
- The Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants in Novaliches (PAMINOVA) and the Diocesan Ministry against Human Trafficking (DMAHT) represented by Ms. Ruby Ramores, who is the Lay Coordinator of DMAHT, presented their diocesan initiatives to combat human trafficking. The DMAHT in partnership with PAMINOVA is now focusing on the human trafficking prevention and awareness campaign among the young generation.
- The Kalookan Diocesan Ministry for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and their Families (KADMI) represented by its Diocesan Lay Coordinator, discussed their ongoing efforts to mainstream the formation of the Migrant’s Ministry in the different parishes in the Cities of Kalookan, Malabon, and Navotas.
- The Archdiocesan Commission on Migrants and Itinerants of Pampanga (ACMIPP) is represented by its focal program coordinator for SDOFP, Ms. Julie Ann Guevara, an OFW wife and a guidance counselor of Saint Augustine Academy of Pampanga (SAAP), discussed its strong mechanisms in mainstreaming program for the migrant’s children in the different schools of Pampanga.
- The Diocese of Cubao Migrant’s Ministry (DCMM) presented their partnership endeavor with the Quezon City Migration Resource Center. Fr. Fernando Santos, SVD, and Ms. Melde Gamonez are the focal coordinators of DCMM.

In the last part of the assembly, the representative from the Vatican’s Migrants and Refugees Section, Ms. Naoko Maruyama, who is the Regional Coordinator for East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, discussed on the theme of the forthcoming World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR) on September 25, which is Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees.

The next plan of the LUDICMA is the holding of sub-regional gatherings to validate the results of the 7th Luzon Assembly wherein dioceses in these sub-regions will have to report specific initiatives and to come up with strong partnership and collaboration among the sub-regions, and to institutionalize the LUDICMA organizational set-up.

The CBCP-ECMI is headed by its Chairman, Bishop Narciso Abellana, MSC who is also the Bishop of Romblon, and Executive Secretary, Fr. Roger Manalo, CS.
