In a two-page statement following the CBCP’s plenary assembly last weekend, the country’s bishops also appealed to the faithful to help the government rebuild and return Marawi City to normalcy. “Let us help the government rebuild the city of Marawi so that its citizens may return and restore their broken lives,” said CBCP president and Lingayen-Dagupan archbishop Socrates Villegas. Among the issues discussed was the horrific battle in Marawi City between the Army troops and the Maute terrorist group. Marawi Bishop Edwin dela Peña and Iligan Bishop Elenito Galido were invited to speak on the Marawi conflict — Dela Peña, in Marawi City and Galido, whose diocese took in thousands of evacuees.
