(Babasahin sa lahat ng Misa sa mga parokya na nasasakupan ng Diyosesis ng San Pablo) An Open Letter to the Congressmen of the Four Districts of Laguna Mga minamahal Naming Kongresista ng Laguna, Ang pagpapasa ng House Bill 4244  -- o ng  Reproductive Health Bill  -- sa ikalawang pagbasa nito noong ika-13 ng Disyembre ay nakapanlulumo at nakalulungkot. Subalit hindi ito nakapanghihina sa determinasyon ng Simbahan na patuloy na ipaglaban ang buhay at karapatan ng tao. "Nagliliwanag sa kadiliman ang ilaw, at hindi ito kailanman nagapi ng kadiliman" (Juan 1:5). Sa usaping ito, isinaalang-alang sana ang katotohanan na " ang ikabubuti ng lahat ng lipunan ay hindi isang layunin sa kanyang sarili; ito ay may halaga lamang kung ito ay may kinalaman sa pagkakamit ng pinaka-huling layunin (ultimate ends) ng tao at ng pangkalahatang ikabubuti ng buong sangnilikha"  ( Compendium of the Social Doctrines of the Church , 170). Ang posibilidad ng pagbubuo at pagkakaroon ...

May bagong billna nais ipasa sa kongreso tungol sa mga bingi at pipi kilala sa tawag na Filipino Sign Language Act of 2012 House Bill 6079. Ang panukalang batas na ito ay naglalayon ng mas malawak na pakikipagugnayan sa halos lahat ng ransaksiyon lalong lalo na sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno at impormasyon katulad ng korte, telebisyon at paaralan. Isa sa mganasabing panukala ay ang paggamit ng Filipino Sign Languange kaysa sa American Sign Language. Ang paggamit ng Filipino Sign Language ay hindi lamang sa simbolo na ginagamit nito kundi kasama din ang pamamaraan ng paggamit nito na kaiba kaysa sa paggamit ng  American Sign Language.

( Isang muling pagpapaskil ng pormal na pahayag ng Kapulungan ng mga Katolikong  mga Obispo sa Pilipinas (KKOP)o Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines ( CBCP).)  Statement on RH Bill Every birth is a gift from God; every new life, a blessing, every birth a cause for rejoicing and praising God who create new life only out of love. Our country’s positive birth rate and a population composed of mostly young people are the main players that fuel the economy. A fact that even the government itself acknowledges as it is determined to feed, educate and keep the young people healthy. And rightly so, for even our Constitution acknowledges that human resource is a primary source of social and economic force. Earlier this year, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reported that the hard-earned salaries of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) that were sent to their families for the first 11 months last year amounted to $18.3 billion, which is 7.3 percent ...

Get your own Poll! Ang usapin ng pagpapasa ng reproductive health bill ay lalong naging mainit dahil sa matinding pagnanais ng gobyerno na pigilan ang pagdami ng mga Filipino. Ang Simbahang Katoliko ay di pumapayag sa pamamaraan na pinipili ng Gobyerno. Hayaan ninyo na sa pamamaggitan ng pagboto sa tanong na ito ay maaring makita ang pulso ng sambayanang Kristiyano.

MANILA, March 8, 2012—Amid calls for debates after the Manila Archbishop opened renewed opportunities for dialogue on the reproductive health (RH) bill, the newly appointed leader of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) reiterated that the stand of the Church remains the same. “If the RH proponents expect that we in the new administration, because we are new, would be amenable to changes, it is a no,” CBCP President Archbishop Jose Palma said. “Their presumption may be like if there is a new admin they think there can be a new policy, have new doctrines and approaches. This is not the case in the Church. We don’t expect the new members of any council to be changing doctrines.” The prelate also pointed out the need for more plenary debates amid calls of RH proponents to put the bill to a vote. “Kapag humaba debate mas maraming natututunan at nakikita ang katotohanan about the Church doctrine, kaya ‘yung iba natatakot na kapag humaba ang debate,” Palma explaine...
