Following our Council of Bishops' recent statement, "๐๐๐ค๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ," our community has been actively expressing our outrage against the rampant corruption in flood control and government projectsโcorruption that benefits a few while our people suffer from floods, landslides, and poverty.
The LGU of Besao, Mountain Province, has declared a White Week this first week of November in solidarity with our call. Trinity University of Asia is also planning to declare an All White Day Against Corruption mid-November. We encourage all mission schools, institutions, and offices to join in these efforts.
On ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐, we invite everyone to participate in an ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง. Wear white shirts during worship as a powerful symbol of our commitment to exposing darkness and standing for righteousness, inspired by Ephesians 5:11.
Let us not remain silent. Our collective action and witness can help restore moral integrity and condemn corruptionโprofits from monstrosity that should be loathed, not enjoyed.
