New cardinal vows to work for peace in Mindanao

Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Quevedo on Tuesday hopes his recent membership in the College of Cardinals could contribute to peace in Mindanao and “the formation of righteous leaders in the country.”

“I pray that I can contribute to the good of the people here in Mindanao and to the peace and dialogue being undertaken by the people of various faiths in Mindanao specially with the Bangsamoro. And I pray that I can also contribute in promoting the formation of righteous political leaders in our country,” Quevedo said in an interview over Church-run Radyo Veritas.
