ANGELES CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP)  reiterated the Church’s call for voters not to elect corrupt candidates to office.

“Sinners can be forgiven but you cannot forgive the corrupt,” Bishop Socrates Villegas said. “If we say that corruption is one of our nation’s deepest scars and heaviest cross, and if candidates already have a history of corruption, let’s think twice, thrice, a hundred times before voting for them.”

Reacting to the bishop’s comments, Vice President Jejomar Binay accused the CBCP of meddling in politics by suggesting that Catholics not vote for him.

“May I remind the good bishop that there is separation between church and state, and that he should not be judging my career  and record as a politician, or derailing my campaign to be the next president of the Philippines,” Binay said.

  2. Mr. Binay, our Bishops did not mentions any names. Am I right? He just said that don’t vote for a corrupt candidates. He never ever mentioned your name? And He did not sent the message directed on to you? Nor, judging you in any ways..are you afraid that you might lose your game? The People are much wiser voters now a days… They are not like a small kids that when you gave them candy, you will get their votes.. No.. If you want a honest votes from our country? Then should be a honest leader to our country and to your countrymen….
