Nanawagan si Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula sa mga botante na pag-aralan nang mabuti ang katangian ng kanilang mga napiling kandidato sa halalan sa Mayo, aniya suportahan ang kandidato na maka-Diyos at makabansa.
“As we prepare for the coming elections, I urge everyone to undergo the process of discernment towards collective active response. This entails immersing ourselves in our socio-political realities and responding proactively in light of the principles of Catholic social teachings,” ani Cardinal Advincula sa Radio Veritas.
Binigyang-diin ng pinuno ng Simbahan ang panawagan ng Santo Papa na si Pope Francis para sa "better politics" na nakatuon sa kabutihan ng lahat.
“I am urging the faithful to choose candidates who are pro-God and pro-country and who are ready to serve with all honesty and humility,” aniya.
