Bishop Leonardo Medroso of the Tagbilaran Diocese, asks people to join in the prayer rally on July 29, 2008. This prayer rally is to be in protest to the Reproductive Bill as it promotes the legalization of abortion.
As quoted by Bishop Medroso, “This bill is against the Church’s teachings and therefore should be reprimanded. If we believe in the Church, in God, we should follow his teachings. And that is to value life. We should not take for granted the sacredness of life.”
