Paghahanda din para sa SOLTARE 2026

Yesterday morning, key figures from the CBCP-ECV and DVP convened with CBCP President Most Rev. Gilbert Garcera, DD, alongside members of the CBCP Secretariat.

The meeting focused on aligning the ECV with the newly amended CBCP statutes and exploring ways the CBCP leadership can guide the commission’s productivity, management, and future endeavors. It also marked the official turnover of leadership, serving as the first joint meeting for outgoing CBCP-ECV Executive Secretary Rev. Fr. Randy S. De Jesus, and incoming Executive Secretary Rev. Fr. Nathaniel G. Gentizon.

They were joined in the discussions by Sr. Ma. Jeanette Barzanas, FDZ (Office Secretary), Jaezel Nugpo (VocNet.PH), Rev. Fr. Bryant Restituto (Assistant General Secretary), Rev. Fr. Vladimir Echalas, SOLT (CBCP Research), and Rev. Fr. Mike Samaniego (CBCP HR).

As Pope Leo passed through the crowds in the popemobile ahead of the General Audience, he stopped and knelt at the spot where, 45 years ago, on May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot but survived.

Pope St. John Paul II was admitted to Gemelli Hospital for surgery, and four days later he prayed the Regina Caeli from the hospital, speaking publicly of forgiveness for Mehmet Ali Ağca, the man responsible for the attack.

FULL TEXT: The CBCP released a statement Tuesday urging the Senate to promptly convene as an impeachment court for Vice President Sara Duterte.

"To delay the trial is to delay justice for both the Filipino people and the Vice President," the bishops said.
