Korapsyon ugat ng kahirapan
MANILA, Philippines - Sinasabing nagiging ugat ng korapsyon ang kahirapan sa halip na tulungan ang mga mahihirap.
Ito ang naging panawagan kahapon si Pope Francis kaya’t dapat ibasura ang lahat ng uri ng korapsyon.
“I hope that this prophetic summons will challenge everyone, at all levels of society, to reject every form of corruption which diverts resources from the poor, and to make concerted efforts to ensure the inclusion of every man and woman and child in the life of the community,” wika pa ni Pope Francis sa kanyang mensahe sa ginawa nitong courtesy call kay Pangulong Benigno Aquino III sa Malacañang.
Ayon pa sa Santo Papa, dapat munang masiguro ang pagkakaroon ng social justice at paggalang sa diginidad ng sangkatauhan upang makamit ang mithiin na malabanan ang korapsyon at kahirapan.
“Today the Philippines, together with many other countries in Asia, faces the challenge of building on solid foundations a modern society-a society respectful of authentic human values, protective of our God given human dignity and rights, and ready to confront new and complex political and ethical questions. As many voices in your nation have pointed out, it is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good. In this way they will help preserve the rich human and natural resources with which God has blessed this country. Thus will they be able to marshall the moral resources needed to face the demands of the present, and to pass on to coming generations a society of authentic justice, solidarity and peace,” dagdag pa ni Pope Francis.
Iginiit pa ng Santo Papa, ang pangunahing pagbisita niya sa Pilipinas ay pastoral dahil sa pagdiriwang ng ikalimang sentenaryo ng kauna-unahang proklamasyon ng Salita ng Diyos na dinala sa Pilipinas.
Pinuri din ng Santo Papa ang mga Filipino dahil sa katapangan ng mga ito na harapin ang mga hamon ng buhay partikular ang pananalasa ng bagyong Yolanda sa Tacloban na dadalawin niya ngayon.
