IS IT BAD TO MEDDLE IN POLITICS?

The late Pope Francis, during his homily at a daily Mass in Casa Santa Marta on Sept. 23, 2013, emphasized that political engagement is not inherently wrong for Catholics. Rather, he encouraged the faithful to take an active role in public life, stressing that ā€œa good Catholic meddles in politicsā€ by offering the best of oneself for the common good.

The Holy Father added that Christians cannot remain indifferent to governance, saying: ā€œNone of us can say, ā€˜I have nothing to do with this, how they govern.ā€™ ā€¦ No, no, I am responsible for their governance, and I have to do the best so that they govern well, and I have to do my best by participating in politics according to my ability.ā€™ā€

As Catholics, faith is not lived only within the walls of the church, but also through our responsibility toward society and our neighbor.

"We need to cut trees for development" - DENR

'Development' that means cutting down trees amid the worsening climate crisis is not real development.

As extreme heat and flooding intensify, we need trees and green spaces even more to help protect the health, livelihoods, and safety of our communities. Development should be centered on people and the environment, not on their destruction.

We strongly condemn the massacre of trees under the San Miguel Corporationā€™s SALEX Project and urge authorities to not just suspend but PERMANENTLY CANCEL plans to cut more trees.

WORLD REEF DAY šŸŖø

We are kicking off Philippine Environment Month by commemorating World Reef Day today, June 1, a reminder that coral reefs are not only among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth but also lifelines for millions of people who depend on healthy oceans for food, livelihoods, and protection from climate impacts.

But reefs are now on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

The IPCC has warned that at 1.5Ā°C of global warming, the world could lose 70ā€“90% of its coral reefs, while warming beyond 2Ā°C could lead to the near-total collapse of reef ecosystems worldwide. Today, as the world continues to breach and approach dangerous warming thresholds, these warnings are becoming reality through mass coral bleaching, rising ocean temperatures, and worsening marine degradation.

For the Philippines, the stakes could not be higher. The Verde Island Passage, the ā€œcenter of the centerā€ of global marine biodiversity, is home to extensive coral reef ecosystems that support fisheries, coastal livelihoods, and marine life found nowhere else on Earth. Yet these reefs remain threatened by climate change, pollution, and the continued expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure.

This is why protecting reefs requires more than restoration efforts. It demands systemic action to address the threats it faces. One critical step is the passage of the Verde Island Passage Bill or , which seeks to provide stronger and long-term protection for one of the worldā€™s most important marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on it.

This World Reef Day, we call on policymakers to , strengthen safeguards for our marine ecosystems, support coastal communities, and accelerate a just transition away from fossil fuels. Protecting our coral reefs means protecting our collective future.

In his message during the 2026 Laudato Si' Week celebration, Cardinal Jose Advincula, Archbishop of Manila, highlighted the need for ecological conversion through "deliberate and sustained formation of minds and hearts" and encouraged the growth of Laudato Si' Circles, an initiative of Laudato Si' Movement, across the Archdiocese.

šŸŒæšŸ’§ FORESTS AND WATER: GODā€™S GIFT, OUR RESPONSIBILITY šŸ’§šŸŒæ

As part of our celebration of Laudato Siā€™ Week, the Diocese of Pasig Ministry on Ecology gathered last May 30,2026 at San Guillermo Parish to reflect on the vital connection between forests and waterā€”precious gifts entrusted to us by God.

Through this formation given by Bro Nikee Pagatpat a certificed Laudato Si Environmental trainer and part pf the Core team of the Diocese of Pasig Ministry on Ecology, we were reminded that caring for creation is not just an environmental duty but a Christian responsibility and an act of love for our common home.

May this learning inspire us to become faithful stewards of Godā€™s creation, protecting our forests, conserving water, and living out the call of Pope Francis in Laudato Siā€™ to care for our planet and future generations.

ā€œThe Earth is the Lordā€™s and all it holds.ā€ (Psalm 24:1)
