‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement reaches Manila
MANILA, Nov. 25, 2011— The movement similar to the “Occupy Wall Street” in New York City has reached the Philippines shores.
In Manila, it is convened by no less than a Catholic bishop who heads the Church’s social action arm.
Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said “Kilusang 99%” is a social reform movement which is about “making the poor the center of development and making the government accountable for the welfare of the majority.”

Human rights groups pay tribute to environmental martyrs

Human rights groups pay tribute to environmental martyrs
MANILA, Nov. 12, 2011―Church and human rights organizations paid tribute to martyrs who lost their lives protecting rural communities and the environment in a prayer and candle-lighting ceremony held in various key cities nationwide.
The activity was part of the observance of the Global Day of Remembrance of the Heroes, Heroines and Martyrs of the Resistance against Mining, Oil and Gas on November 10.
In Manila, around 100 human rights advocates gathered at the Pope Pius XII Center in UN Avenue, to pay honor their fallen comrades in prayer and songs.
Church groups and human rights organizations delivered solidarity messages and urged for the repeal of Mining Act of 1995 and the enactment of an Alternative Mining Bill.
Simultaneous with the activity in Manila was a prayer gathering in Palawan, Cebu and another in Cagayan de Oro that drew more than 30 participants from human rights groups, civil society and government.
Human rights advocate Judy Pasimio from Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center – Kasama sa Kalikasan (LRC-KsK) urged for justice for killed environmental martyrs.
“We seek justice for these martyrs. People and the government must bring their assailants to justice, for true peace to be achieved,” she said.
“The Philippine government must not put the interests of the mining companies over the welfare of the community and the whole nation, by serving the greed of these large mining transnational corporations,” she added.
Human rights groups had earlier criticized the Aquino government’s decision to allow mining companies to form militias to defend its interests from rebels’ attacks.
Pasimio said Aquino’s decision to permit mining corporations to have its own paramilitary units can be construed that “he is for mining and against those who opposed it.”
She lamented that mining has become “synonymous to violence” as many advocates have lost their lives because of their anti-mining stance.
Italian priest Fr. Fausto Tentorio was the latest of a string of environmentalists who were killed this year, when he was gunned down in Cotabato last month. Another outspoken anti-mining activist, Datu Roy Gallego, was also killed in Surigao del Sur last October 14.
Early this year, Dr. Gerry Ortega, a broadcaster and anti-mining advocate, was killed in Puerto Princesa.
Other documented killings related to mining include Councilor Armin Rios Marin from Sibuyan Island who was killed by a mining security guard last 2007 right in front of a rally against mining; Gensun Agustin from Cagayan Valley, gunned down in a highway last 2009, on his way from an anti-mining forum he organized; and Rudy Segovia, shot and killed at a barricade set-up in Zamboanga del Norte to prevent the entry of mining equipment in their ancestral domains.
The tribute to environmental heroes was part of the global solidarity actions organized in Nigeria, Indonesia, Guatemala and Australia to mark the anniversary of the murder of Nigerian writer Ken Saro-Wiwa. Together with eight other Ogoni leaders, Saro-Wiwa was executed in 1995 for speaking out against the impact of Shell and other oil companies in the Niger Delta. (CBCPNews)

BECs launch Living Rosary for life and peace

BECs launch Living Rosary for life and peace
TAYTAY, Rizal, Nov. 1, 2011—The Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) of St. John the Baptist parish reiterated their strong rejection against the reproductive health bill by launching the Living Rosary for Life and Peace.
The Living Rosary was a culminating activity held for October as month of the Holy Rosary in cooperation with Family and Life Apostolate, Marian groups and other parish organizations.
As a spiritual weapon against the culture of death espoused by the RH bill, the Parish BEC, with the Our Lady of Guadalupe as the advocacy patroness, had been conducting Rosary for Life in vigils, prayer meetings, and even in private devotions.
The BECs have integrated the “1 Million Roses for World Peace” campaign with their “Life agenda”, calling their advocacy “Rosary for Life and Peace.”
At 3 p.m., BECs from Barangays and Sitios coming from all directions started praying the Joyful mysteries while trekking to the poblacion’s Kalayaan Park, the assembly point. Each mystery was accompanied with a pro-life reflection and offering of intention.
Other groups at the park also prayed simultaneously the chaplet of the Divine Mercy at 3 p.m. followed by the recitation of the mysteries of Light at 3:20 p.m. also with corresponding reflections and intentions.
At 4 p.m., about 500 had already converged at the park and began praying the Sorrowful mysteries in reparation for the sins committed against the holiness of life and peace. The people solemnly prayed the rosary during the half kilometer procession towards the Church.
The parish youth led at front row holding up high the banner that read “ROSARY for LIFE and PEACE, Reject RH Bill” followed by Marian devotees who were carrying a huge Rosary replica.
Images of our Lady of Guadalupe, the Mother of Life and patroness of the unborn, were displayed. The Cross was at the tail-end symbolizing our faith that “through Mary we are led to Christ, and Rosary leads to the Cross and the Eucharist.”
Meanwhile, at 4:00 pm at the Church’s patio, the praying of the Light and Sorrowful mysteries intended for the elderly, sick, disable and pregnant lined up sitting to form as the crucifix of a much bigger Living Rosary. It was completed by the arrival of the procession which encircled the crucifix to form as beads of the giant Living Rosary for the Glorious mysteries.
The BEC also issued a public statement which in part says, “Peace is at the heart of the Church’s seeking…that humankind may increasingly become the family of God bonded in love. Yet, our modern materialistic world risks in detaching us from ethical living and transcendental values…”
“The quest for peace resides in the vast spiritual horizon—in the will, heart and mind of the human person…that Jesus worked with human hands, thought with human mind and loved with a human heart…”
“Only Jesus can give the kind of peace the world cannot give. There can be no genuine human development and authentic peace without God in our life. Hence, we now go to the public square as we pray for God's mercy. We plead for Mother Mary's powerful intercession through the Holy Rosary as we defend human Life and seek universal Peace.
The event concluded with a Eucharistic mass presided by parish priest, Msgr. Peter Cañonero, who lauded the Living Rosary and admonished the parishioners to become defenders of God-given life and witnesses to the Catholic faith as taught by the Church. (Ding Fernandez)
