Nanawagan sa publiko ang Diocese of Borongan sa Eastern Samar ngayong Miyerkules, Nobyembre 8, na alalahanin at ipagdasal ang nasa 7,000 kataong nasawi o nawala dahil sa pananalasa ng super typhoon ‘Yolanda’ isang dekada na ang nakararaan.
“Let us pray for their internal rest and for the comfort and strength of their families. May their memory remind us of the preciousness of life and the urgency of caring for our brothers and sisters,” apela ni Borongan Bishop Most. Rev. Crispin Varquez sa ika-10 anibersaryo ng pananalasa ng bagyong ‘Yolanda’ ngayong Miyerkules, Nobyembre 8.
Ang Eastern Samar ang isa sa mga lalawigan na malubhang hinagupit ng super typhoon “Yolanda” na itinuturing na pinakamalakas na bagyo na tumama sa bansa sa mahabang panahon.
“As a diocese, let us redouble our efforts to support and accompany those who are still on this journey. Let us offer our time, resources, and skills to help our brothers and sisters stand on their feet again,” sabi ni Varquez.
“Climate change poses a significant threat to our planet and its most vulnerable inhabitants. Let us commit ourselves to sustainable practices and advocate for policies that protect the environment and promote justice for all,” dagdag ni Varquez.
