By Inquirer MANILA, Philippines--A Catholic prelate has appealed for more active participat ion in the upcoming barangay (village) and Sangguniang Kabataang (youth council ) elections on October 29 as candidatesâ campaigning ends Saturday. In a statement, Catholic Bishopsâ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) presiden t Angel Lagdameo said that if the faithful could take interest in how their chu rches or parishes operate, they should similarly give the same attention to the ir villages. Lagdameo has also asked the faithful to consciously participate in the affairs of the villages since it serves as a breeding ground for future leaders. He stressed that the people should guard against partisanship in the elections to protect the villageâs role in providing for the common good. Bev erly Natividad

We have the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting probalby in all part
s of the country but as I witnessed the conduct of election in the Barangay for
the SK of the past election, it was terrible seeing that nothing is being done
by the group. Incidentally, the grandmother of the candidate for SK president
was with the PPCRV. I presume that they must be having a little concience. It a
ppears to be none a little of it.

TO ALL
I know this to be out of place. Please bear with me. I just want to create aw
areness by choosing the latest topics.
Do consider Dr. Martin Bautista for the next elections obviously (a senatorial
candidate of âAng Kapatiranâ together with Adrian Sison and Zosimo Paredes). H
eâs a 45-year-old gastroenterologist in the US who came home after 17 years. Y
ou can see from his background that he truly means service. For those who find
him to be a hypocrite for working abroad, do understand heâs a family man who
needs to sustain his family, that he will be able to keep his independence by n
ot relying on public funds to support his family. He helps his countrymen in h
is capacity but itâs just not enough for there are millions of Filipinos. Itâs
a good start in Philippine Politics to have him and his party around.
I urge you to forward/text/inform all your contacts about them. I believe they
only lack exposure thatâs why Iâm doing this. But I canât do it alone so Iâm
appealing to everyoneâs help. If all will inform their contacts about them and
urge them as well to forward, we might hit a million.
We cannot afford to be indifferent now if we want meaningful change. Otherwise
we only have ourselves to blame. BUT TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

BTW, Iâve posted this on the different topics just to be sure.
