CBCP seeks different approach vs corruption
MANILA, Philippines - Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas yesterday urged the use of a more constructive approach in looking for solutions to graft and corruption.
“Perhaps, we can reconsider our approach at solving the cancer of Philippine society which is graft and corruption by talking more about the beauty of integrity and honesty rather constantly denouncing the evil that we experience,” Villegas said in his speech during yesterday’s opening of the three-day 109th CBCP plenary assembly.
“Perhaps we can widen circles of integrity rather than creating fiercer watchdogs against corruption. Perhaps we need to remind ourselves that for every prophetic denunciation we utter we must stretch our hands to offer an opportunity for conversion and healing,” he added.
