DAGUPAN CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Dagupan Bureau) – Former Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President Socrates Villegas has vehemently denied involvement in any plot to overthrow the government of President Rodrigo Duterte.

In a signed statement, Villegas denied being at a meeting on December 12, 2018 with the plotters, saying he was delivering a homily at the first mass of a newly-ordained priest friend.

”I have no capacity to be in two places at the same time,” he declared.

But a teaching by the Catholic Church could incriminate Villegas and      dispute his claim.

The teaching: “God is everywhere.”

Not just in two places at the same time. Everywhere.
