2 SECURING OUR MORAL HERITAGE: TOWARDS A MORAL SOCIETY BP NERIO ODCHIMAR, CBCP President A Pastoral Exhortation on Proposed Bills on Sex Education and Reproductive Health) It was you who created my inmost self, and put me together in my mother s womb; for all these mysteries I thank you: for the wonder of myself, for the wonder of your works (Psalm 139:13-14). PAMANGKOT SA PAGPANGAMUYO Mga mangunguma o mga mangingisda may mga tinion nga sila isahanon lang. Sila nagasulod masunsun sa mga malinong nga kahimtangan. Mga tawo sa mga kaumhan o sa mga kabukiran ang ila palibut may kalinongan. Mataas ang ila balatyagon bahin sa ila palibut kay dona sa ila palibut ang malinong kag matawhay nga kabuhi. Ang huyop sang hangin, ang tingog sang mga kapispisan ang ila lang mabatian. Diri sini nagasugod ang inaton nga pagpamalandong. Kita nga nakaagi pangabuhi sa uma kag sa siyudad nakahibalo kon ano nga sahi ang magahud kag malinong o matawhay. Mabal-an naton ang ritmo sang kaumhan kag sang siudad. Ang siudad magahud kag ang kaumhan wala sing gahud. Sa kaumhan makaginhawa ka sing madalum kay limpio ang hangin. Sa siudad indi maayo ang pagginhawa kay higko na ang hangin. Kon ano gid bala ang pagpangamuyo, ang masami nga panabat ang nasaulo ko nga panagamuyo. Kon ang isa indi kahibalo magsaulo sang pangamuyo, gina-akigan gilayon. Gani sa kinaandan ang pangamuyo nahimo nga silot sa sala. Kon amo ini sa aton isip, manabaw kaayo ang paghangop sini. Madamo nga mga utod naton ayhan nagapangadi apang gina-agwanta lang kay sa ila isa lang ini ka buluhaton. Sa matuod nga paghangop ang pangamuyo naga-umpisa sa madalum nga pag-ginhawa. Ang ginhawa kabuhi. Ruah sa Hebreo sa Biblia ginatawag ginhawa. Makaginhawa kita sing madalum kon malinong kag matawhay ang 2 aton palibut. Sa kasulatan wala ginagamit nga ang pagpangamuyo isa ka sahi sang silot. Ang matuod gid nga may gana o may luyag ang nagapangamuyo. Indi bato nga ginapas-an sa abaga sang tawo. Ang larawang sang pagkaon o ilimnon ang ginapakita. Uhaw o gutom sa espiritu ang palatanda-an sang pangmuyo. Ang tawo nga nagahipos lang ayhan yara sa iya madalum nga pagpangmuyo. May mga utod kita nga nagapabilin sa tapos sang Misa labi na gid adlaw adlaw. O ang nagaduaw sa Santisimo Sacramento nagapamalandong sing hipos kag madalum. Ayhan nagaupod sila pagkauhaw o pagkagutom sa espiritu. Sila ang nagabuhi sa aton simbahan. Ang aton Ginoong Jesukristo ang pinasahi nga manunudlo sang pangamuyo nagasiling: Mar 6:31 Makadto kita sing kitahanon lang sa isa ka baw-ing nga duog kag magpahuway sing makadali: sa pagkamadamo nga mga tawo pakadto pakari wala na sila sing tion sa pagkaon. Mat 11:28: Kari kamo sa akon, kamo tanan nga ginabudlayan kag may ginapas-an kay papahuwayon ko kamo. Itakod ninyo ang akon singkaw, kag maghtuon kamo sa akon kay ako malolo kag mapainubuson, kag makakita kamo sang kapahuwayan sa inyo mga kalag. Ang pagpamanlandong sing hipos ang ginatawag pangmuyo sa pagpamati. Kulang ini ayhan sa kadamoan sa aton. Apang sa sini nga hitabo gindayaw ni Jesus si Maria nga nagapamati nga wala makuha ni Marta nga iya utod sa ila pag-abiabi kay Jesus. (Luk 10:40) The divinely inspired words of the psalmist in the Sacred Scriptures frame our reflections. We wish to contribute towards our shared dream to become a nation of integrity. We write this letter on behalf of the community of the faithful entrusted to our spiritual care. We present our reflections to all men and women of good will and address ourselves particularly to the leaders and members of the present government. CORRUPTION THE REJECTION OF MORAL AND RELIGIOUS TRUTHS Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap. Without corruption, there will be no poverty. This was the political rallying cry of our new President. It resonated deeply, and still does, with the longing of our people for truth and integrity, for a moral society. Allow us to remind you of two timeless and simple but profound truths: 1. At the foundation of the moral society is a central religious truth our divine origin and our divinely-given identity as persons. God created our inmost self, our inmost being, and knit us in our mother s womb. We come from God. We are created by God. Our capacity to understand truth and to love, our capacity to have compassion for the weak and for the feeble these are divinely-endowed wonders of ourselves, of the persons that we are, wonderfully created unto God s image and likeness. To respect God s creative act and to be true to God s image are at the heart of being moral persons. 2. Real corruption is moral and spiritual corruption. The rejection or disregard of morality and religious belief is at the core of corruption. Moral and spiritual corruption breeds its kind in other spheres of life - political, social, and economic. Therefore, to get rid of corruption at all levels of life we as a people must acknowledge our origin from the creative power of God and must be true to our identity as created unto God s image and likeness. This moral truth is at the very foundation of a civilization of truth and love, a humane society, a moral society. To disregard moral and religious truths such as this is to be defenseless to the onslaught of corruption. In brief, we have to restore and secure the moral heritage that governs us as persons, our social relationships, and our institutions. All the faithful, clergy religious and laity, and all our religious institutions are called to proclaim these moral and religious truths. It is our divine mission. Our action or lack of action might sometimes, sadly, contradict our call and weaken our credibility. But realizing this with the deepest sorrow we nonetheless cannot abdicate our duty and mission. We have to vigorously proclaim truth and integrity, combat corruption, and help build up a moral society. But the fight against moral and spiritual corruption in our society is not only the duty of the Church. It is also the duty of the government. This is clear from the Constitution: The government is to support parents in rearing the youth in the development of moral character..., (Art 2, sec. 12) in the youth s physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being, (sec. 13) in the school s role in ethical and spiritual values, development of moral character and personal discipline. (Art. 14, sec. 3) For this reason we address two concurrent and related issues that bring serious implications on the good of the faithful on you as parents, on young people and ultimately on the family the crucial building block of society. These two issues are: sex education and reproductive health.

3 Our first parents, Adam and Eve, committed sin by eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God the many good things He provided them notwithstanding. As a result death came into this world as one of the curses for their sin. They were disgraced when they committed their first sin. Their original sin cause them to be disgraced. They passed to their progeny this original sin which was contracted by their offspring. With their sin the world fell into darkness with man needing to be redeemed. The Catholic Church believes in Mary s immaculate conception which means that from the moment Mary was conceived in her mother s womb she had no stain of original sin. (Imaculada means without stain or without corruption.) If Eve together with Adam was created without the stain of original sin but just contracted it by committing it, how fitting it would be for Mary, the new Eve and the mother of the New Covenant family of God, to be conceived without the stain of original sin. Besides, did God need a clean and undefiled place to enter or dwell? Mary was preserved from sin from the moment of her conception and so she was holy from the beginning. Mary was what she was because of Christ. At St. Augustine put it, Christ chose the one to create and Christ creates the one He chose. This preservative grace was Mary s singular privilege and a singular gift from her son. Christ endowed her with all the gifts appropriate to her vocation of being His mother. The fullness and plentitude of grace in her was something which she did not gather but which she received and which the angel recognized as constituting her very personhood or very essence. What was begun in the beginning of Mary s life was completed at the end of her life. She was conceived without the stain of original sin. She lived her life obediently and in holiness without committing any actual sin. Mary s assumption was mentioned in narratives in earlier centuries like those found in the 5th century. Syriac manuscripts and later on in hymns and prayers shared by Christians. Never it reached a point of controversy and debate. In fact historical evidence see to suggest that Christians everywhere celebrated it as feast day. It was celebrated in the 5 th century in the city of Jerusalem and in the 6 th century in Alexandria. In the first seven or eight centuries no ecumenical council had to be held to define or to clarify this because it served as a universal belief. practicingcatholic.wordpress.org Hundred and hundred years later the Son of God came to same man and He did through a virgin woman who accepted God s Word brought by an angel telling her to be the mother of the Messiah. Be it done to me according to they Word, she replied. Unlike Eve who was disobedient Mary remained obedient to Him. believe that Mary never experienced physical death and instead entered into heaven in bodily form accompanied by a host of angels. OF THE THE ASSUMPTION BLESSED VIRGIN MARY STEVE C. FERNANDEZ, REFLECTIONS Her son delivered her from the curse of Adam and Eve. She was delivered from the dust of death and the chain of corruption. Her body and soul were taken up to glory. What began in a glorious way did not end in a less glorious way but even in a more glorious fashion when she was assumed into heaven. Mary s assumption was the result of her cooperation with all of the grace in her. The Bible shows the link between sin and death. (Romans 5:12) Sin came into the world through one man and sin brought death with it. Death came to all inasmuch as all sinned For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ. Undoubtedly the result of sin and death. So because Mary was freed from the stain of original sin and subsequently did not commit any sin she was spared from the punishment or reward of death. Assumption is different from ascension. We speak of assumption relative to Mary and we speak of ascension relative to Jesus. Jesus ascended to heaven by His divine power and spirit whereas Mary was assumed into heaven not through her own power as her assumption was the work of her savior God. Today we celebrate the solemnity of Mary s ascension into heaven. We Another thing to consider is that there has not been any pilgrimage by any Christian anywhere to a supposed tomb of Mary whereas the tombs of many apostles and of other saints of the early church are known from the early accounts and because of pilgrimages. It is a matter of record that when a martyrs and saints died people went to where they were buried to venerate them and ask for their intercession and frequently churches were built on the burial spots of these martyrs. But why was there no claim by anybody concerning Mary s burial spot? It is because Christians everywhere recognized there was no such spot on the planet. Mary is up in heaven body and soul. That Mary is up there is revealed in Revelation 12. Here John sees woman clothed with the sun, moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars which represent the 12 tribes of Israel. This stands in contrast to the souls of the just under the altar, the souls of the martyrs and the saints in Revelation 6. What are they doing? The are praying and interceding on our behalf. Nothing is said about their bodies. But here in Revelation 12 you ve got a woman with a body and a soul. This woman is no other than Mary who is crowned as Queen of Heaven and to whom we can entrust our petitions. Yes, Mary is the symbol of triumph over sin and death. The reward of those who do not sin will also be ours. That reward was already received by Mary. Let us follow Mary, a model disciple, who lived a life of obedience and holiness so that we will also be where she is. 3

4 PAMALANDONG SANG MISYON Ang kasugpon sa CBCP..., halin sa pagina 2 a. The aim of the sex education program is to curb the population growth rate and reduce HIV incidence among youngfilipinos. b. Beginning with the 5th grade, information will be given on such topics as reproductive systems, cycles, hygiene, gender identity, pre-marital sex, sexually transmitted diseases. c. Given the right information the hope is that the children would make responsible decisions. We know that sex education concepts have been in place since the 1970 s. The proposed sex education program further highlights and fortifies the concept that contraceptives provide safe and satisfying sex. But the following we also know: a. The failures rates of contraceptives against sexually transmitted diseases are high. b. Oral contraceptive pills are classified as Group I carcinogenic, i.e., there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity. c. With its very liberal sex education programs and its aggressive attitude in pushing contraceptives and condoms for safe sex, the United States still has the highest teen birth rate, 93.0 per 1000, and one of the highest rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) among teens in the industrialized world. We reiterate that the Church is not against sex education. But for reasons of morality and religious faith, we strongly object to the proposed sex education program. The program is devoid of any substantive moral and religious value formation By its nature, human sexuality is a sacred gift from God and is destined for a divine purpose. Moral and religious value formation is, therefore, absolutely indispensable in appreciating and treasuring human sexuality. This divine gift must not be taught in a manner emptied of its deep spiritual and moral dimension. In matters of character formation and nurturance in moral values, it is the parents who possess the fundamental and natural right and duty, a right acknowledged in the Constitution, a right which government may not take away and arrogate unto itself. Lessons on human sexuality are lessons about love, most importantly about God s gift of love manifested in the total sexual dimension of the human person. In the familial setting of a human trinity, father, mother, and child, there is a sincere and palpable gift of self and love from the parents. In the family, the lessons of love through human sexuality can be learned with respect and awe for the wonder of God s work. Such setting and such manner of teaching will not be found in a classroom sex education program designed simply to inform and not form. Sex education has to impart a sense of the sacredness of the gift of human sexuality. For sex education to be proper, conscience formation, moral and spiritual guidance must be integrated with the whole process. 2. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: The Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2010 (HB 96) House Bill 96 is substantially the same Reproductive Health Bill formerly known as HB With the utmost concern and urgency we express our strong objection to the fundamental aspects of House Bill 96. The basis of our moral objection is once again the central religious truth of the divine origin and divine image of the human person, of one s being and life. Like its predecessor the main purpose of House Bill 96 is to make barren what is by nature fruitful and generative of human life. It promotes contraceptive barriers, techniques, supplies, and services that con- 4 May kasugpon CBCP..., sa pagina 6 GERRY MONERA, BEC Updates Indi ko malipatan ang ultimo nga adlaw sang akon misyon sa Parokya ni Santa Rosa de Lima sa Bacacay, Albay. Ilabi na kay nakita ko ang mga simple kag mga aktibo nga lideres sang parokya nga naghatag sang mensahe sa pagpasalamat sa akon. Siling ko sa ila: Ako ang dapat magpasalamat tungod sa inyo pagpaambit sang inyo kaugalingon kag tinion kag nahangpan ko ang kabuhi sang misyon paagi sa inyo paghalad sang inyo kaugalingon sa ALTAR SERVERS, K AMUSTA NA K AMO? pag-alagad. QUIRICO MOLINA JR, Commission on Worship Sang nagligad nga July 3 sini nga tuig, aton gintinguhaan nga liwat matadlong ang pagpanglakaton sang kabuhi sang mga Altar Knights ukon Altar Servers. Naghiwat kita sang Altar Knights General Assembly. Gintinguhaan naton nga matipon ang kabug-usan nga miembro sini kag sa maluyag pa magsulod bilang mga bag-o nga mga katapo. Makapin sa trienta y sais ka bilog ang nagbuylog sini, hasta na ang mga bag-o nagsulod nga luyag mag-alagad sa simbahan. Daku ang akon kalipay nga madamo ang nagsabat sini, ilabi na gid sa mga barangay nga luyag nga may ila man sila nga mga Altar Server. Matapos sining pagtililipon, gintinguhaan nga sa kada Sabado maghimo sang practice kag training ang mga bag-o nagsulod nga mga kabataan upod ang mga dumaan na nga mga miembro agod sila mangin maayo sa ila pagserbe sa altar. Kay tapos sining ila pagtuon kag nagakaigo nga training, liwat aton sila paga-commission agud mangin formal ang ila pag-alagad sa altar sang Dios. Pero matapos ang assembly hasta subong, mga isa na ka bulan kag tunga, nakita nga nangin wala sing commitment ang mga kabataan. Ang mga bag-o nga luyag magpakigbahin, pila lang ang nagabalik kag magpactice kag pilangnahot sang mga daan ang nagabuylog. Mangin gani sa pagserbe kon Domingo sa mga misa, nagapamilagpilag na lang sila. Diin na bala sila nagkadto? Masako man bala sila? Ukon may mga ginakalingawan lamang nga buluhaton kag nalimtan nalang ang ila ginpangakuan nga obligasyon sa simbahan? Ini ang luyag ko nga ipaalinton sa mga ginikanan ukon guardian sang mga kabataan nga luyag magserbe sa simbahan bilang Altar Server, kon bala padayon pa sila nga mag-alagad? Sa sini nga kahigayunan, luyag ko sila liwat agdahon nga magbalik kag magbuylog sa aton mga hilikuton. Sa kada Sabado sang aga matapos ang ikaduha nga misa, sila aton ginatipon kag ginapractice sang ila responsibilidad sa altar. Gani panawagan sa mga Altar Servers nga magbuylog kita sa aton hilikuton kada Sabado. Kag sa mga barangay nga luyag pa nga may ila man Altar Servers sa tion sang ila Misa, makigangot lang sa akon, sa aton duha ka pari ukon sa mga daan na nga Altar Servers. Kabay nga magiyahan kita sini kag aton man buylogan. MMX ryanfsteves@aol.com 1. SEX EDUCATION: Adolescent Reproductive Health Through Lifeskills-Based Education Here are some news reports on sex education that the Department of Education has not disclaimed: Diri naman sa Parokya ni San Vicente Ferrer sa Leganes, madamo nga mga bagay kag mga eksperiensya sang akon misyon ang indi ko malipatan. Indi lang tungod kay tatlo ka mga Kura Paroko sa sini nga parokya ang akon nangin Parish Priest, kundi tungod sa mga simple nga mga lideres sang parokya. Simple apang kadamuan sa ila may mga dalagku nga obligasyon kag katungdanan sa eskwelahan, mga naga-ubra sa gobyerno, retired teachers kag iban pa. Isa na diri si Sir Quirico Molina Jr. nga taga-lapayon. Nadumduman ko nga si Sir Quiric amo ang akon una nga nangin partner sa paglibot sa mga barangay kag sa paghatag sang Basic Bible Seminar sa Brgy. Lapayon nga nangin akon pilot area sa pagbalay sang Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC) sa parokya. Indi ko lang gali partner si Sir Quiric sa paghatag sang seminar kundi siya pa ang akon driver nga manugsugat kag manugdul-ong kon sa diin man kami nga barangay may schedule: seminars, recollection, parish pilgrimage kag iban pa nga mga hilikuton sang parokya nga ginahiwat sa barangay/sitio. Nadumduman ko nga ang Cebu amo ang una nga akon ginpili nga mangin mission area kag ikaduha na lang ining Parokya ni San Vicente Ferrer sa Leganes. Tungod sa sining masunod nga mga rason: kumpormi ako sa lengwahi tungod kay taga Mindanao ako kag may tatlo ako nga upod sa Phillipine Catholic Lay Mission (PCLM) nga nadestino sa Cebu. Samtang diri sa Leganes, kinahanglan pa ako nga magtuon sang lengwahi kag kultura. Kag wala pa gid ako sang upod nga misyonero sa parokya sa sulod sang lima (5) ka bulan. Apang isa ako sa mga nangin bulahan sa pagsunod sa plano sang Dios bisan nabudlayan ako sang akon kaugalingon tungod sa wala ko pagsunod sang akon kagustuhan. Sa tunga sang akon kabalaka nga nabatyagan, nangin bulahan ako tungod kay akon naangkon ang dugang nga pagsalig sa akon kaugalingon paagi sa bulig ni San Vicente Ferrer. Sa akon man dugang nga kabalaka tungod kay wala ako sang kaupod nga misyonero sa paglibot sa mga barangay kag sitio diri agud sa paghatag sang mga seminars, ginbugayan man ako sang Dios sang mga lideres nga nangin katapo sang Parish BEC Team kag isa na diri si Sir Quiric. Sa tunga sang kabudlayan sa mga programa pastoral sang parokya, ginpabakod sang Dios ang mga Ministry Heads sang parokya agud makapadayon sila sa ila pagpaambit sang ila kaugalingon sa pagdumala sang ila ministry. Gani mas nangin mabakod ang akon kaugalingon tungod sa ila commitment nga ginpaambit sa pag-alagad bisan pa sa ila kasakuon sa ila ubra. Ginapasalamatan ko gid sing labi si Quirico Molina Jr. sa iya tampad nga pagdumala sang Worship Ministry sa parokya umpisa sa una asta sa subong nga tion. Sa akon pagbaton sang isa ka tuig nga extension sang misyon diri sa parokya, nakilala ko si Msgr. Jess Enojo bilang bag-o nga Kura Paroko kag siya nagatinguha nga mapabakod gid ang nabalay nga BEC. Gani isa ini ka daku nga grasya para sa akon tungod kay may pastoral worker ang parokya subong kag may mga lideres nga pareho kay Sir Quirico Molina Jr. nga tampad sa paghalad kag pagpaambit sang kaugalingon para sa kadayawan kag kahimayaan sang aton Ginoo. Nabudlayan man ako sa pag-detach sang akon kaugalingon sa sining manami nga na-eksperiensya diri sa akon misyon sa parokya ni San Vicente Ferrer, apang may ginasiling kami nga mga Layko Misyonero: We go where we are needed, we leave when we are wanted. Kabay pa nga inyo ako ilakip sa inyo mga pangamuyo sa sining akon pagpreparar sang akon kaugalingon.

Ang sang-una nga mga Kristiano nagtawag sang kabuhi ni Maria pakadto sa pihak nga kinabuhi sa ngalan nga Koimesis ukon Dormition nga naghalin sa Latin nga tinaga Dormire ukon nagakahulogan nagakatulog. Sa isa ka sinulatan nga ginatawag nga apocryphal Transistus Mariae ginasiling nga si Maria ginpatulog. Samtang yara sia sa sina nga sitwasyon, si Jesus nag-abot sa pagkuha sa iya. Ang iya lawas ginkuha sa iya lulubngan. Ang lulubngan nga ini makita sa tabok sang Kedron Valley sa naidalum nga bahin sang Valley sang Josaphat.

Ang tradisyon nagasiling man nga nag-abot ang isa ka panong sang mga angheles kag ginkuha ang iya lawas pakadto sa langit tatlo ka adlaw matapos sia mapatay. Ang kapiestahan sang Asuncion ginahiwat sa tagsa ka Agosto 15. Ini ginsugoran sa Roma ni Papa Teodoro. Ang pagsaulog sini nga kapiestahan nag-amat-amat lapnag sa nakatundan. Subong sang aton pagdumdum sang mga Santos kon sa diin ang petsa sang ila pagkamatay sila ginapadunggan, amo man ina kay Maria.

Ang pagdala sa iya sa langit nagakahulugan man nga ginbaton sang Dios ang pagdulot ni Maria sang iya kabuhi. Katulad sang pagkahamuot sang Amay sa pagbaton sang paghalad ni Jesus sang iya kabuhi kag pagkabanhaw sa Iya gikan sa kamatayon, amo man ang pagkahamuot sang Amay sa paghalad ni Maria sang iya kaugalingon.

6 Ang kasugpon, CBCP... halin sa pagina 4 trol fertility as if it were a disease. Science has proven that some contraceptives render the mother s womb inhospitable, thereby causing abortion. And abortion, as Pope John Paul II has cited in Evangelium Vitae, the Gospel of Life, was the instrument of the first systematic population control program by a dominant power on a poor slave population, as narrated in the book of Exodus (cf.ex. 1: 8-22). Moreover the Constitution protects the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception (Art. II, Sec. 12). And conception is the moment of fertilization. At implantation the new life is already a seven-day old human being. For this reason, if its ambiguous stand on contraceptives that are not abortifacients is corrected in favor of moral truth, a house bill such as the new House Bill No. 13 (An Act Providing for the Safety and Protection of the Unborn Child and for Other Purposes) is laudable. This bill seeks to make operational the Constitution s Declaration of Principles and State Policies, where it indicates that the State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. (Ibid.) POPULATION AND POVERTY Many people think that to reduce poverty it is necessary to control population. We would raise serious questions regarding this opinion. Does this opinion not have a certain bias against the poor? In population control are not the real targets the millions of poor families whose numbers must be reduced? Moreover, it is our belief that the causes of poverty are complex. We believe that poverty is caused by flawed development philosophies, plans and priorities, by corruption, by inequitable wealth distribution and access to economic resources and benefits, by poor delivery of social services, by unjust economic policies, and by imbalances in our political structures that favor the few and powerful over the many poor. It is social injustice that is at the root of poverty. And social injustice is simply another name for moral and spiritual corruption, the jettisoning of moral and spiritual values from private and public life. If this is so, would not the overwhelming attention to control population be a convenient way to ignore the greater causes that keep our poor people below the poverty line? These are the causes of poverty, the removal of which would comprehensively transform our social order and establish social justice. CONCLUSION To plan our families is, indeed, a Christian value and responsibility. This is why we support the couple s desire for the planning and proper spacing of their children through natural family planning programs in our dioceses. A contraceptive-oriented population control program is not the moral way. Even if powerful organizations in the world might imperiously and ideologically promote and fund such programs we would still object. For we believe that such programs contradict our moral and religious beliefs. Moral truth is not created by the powerful or by popular opinion. Moral truth is what God wills from the Sacred Scriptures, interpreted and taught authentically by the Church s teaching authority. The constitutional protection of the unborn child from the first instant of conception is a legacy given to us some twenty years ago during the presidency of President Corazon C. Aquino. In spite of all the foreseeable opposition of politicians and powerful lobby groups, we pray that President Aquino s moral legacy could be finally and fully realized during the term of her son, President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III. May the Good Shepherd, who himself was raised in a family, bless your family and every child who is nurtured in your homes. May Mary, the Queen of the Family, enlighten and inspire our new leader to build a nation of truth and integrity, a truly moral society.
