Let Us Hear From Archbishop Talamayan


I woke up this Sunday morning to another  "alarming" piece of news about the Philippine Catholic Church:  

"Bishop who got PCSO funds was a top Ayala stockholder."
Please click on this link for  the report filed by JM Tuazon of GMA News

In this news report, columnist and staunch Reproductive Health Bill advocate Elizabeth Angsioco   received   a lot of  space and airtime  about her research on the investments of the Catholic Church.  She even got the parting shot  in the video  saying "Sana tumulong pa sila" (as if she knew what "enough help" by the church means.)
Sad to see that the headline   referred to  Archbishop Diosdado Talamayan  of Tuguegarao,  yet  his side was not mentioned either in the write-up or in the video news report. 
We can expect  to find the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines  (CBCP)  to be in the news for another week or two, this time on the issue on investments. I just hope that this new thread  will not serve as a diversion from the probe on  PCSO funds.     
And while we are at it,  perhaps the  newspapers and  broadcast networks  can also do research on the source of funds for   Reproductive Health  Bill advocates.
