Out with the ‘notoriously corrupt’ – CBCP president

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on Friday reminded the faithful of their “moral obligation” on Election Day to reject the “notoriously corrupt” and to put an end to political dynasties.

“Reject the notoriously corrupt, but neither should one readily jump on the bandwagon of condemnation in the absence of incontrovertible evidence, for, these days, one’s reputation, so painstakingly built by sincerity and honesty over the years, can so easily be tarnished by the truly evil work of ‘spin doctors’ in the payroll of one or the other political aspirant!” CBCP president and Lingayen-Dagupan Arcbhishop Socrates Villegas said in a pastoral letter.
