Opposition Sen. Leila de Lima on Sunday urged the Catholic faithful to rally around Caloocan Bishop Pablo David after President Duterte accused the outspoken prelate of taking Church funds for his personal use. In a recent speech, the President said a certain “Bishop David” had stolen Church donations. My parents never taught me to steal.”“Duterte’s attack on Bishop Pablo ‘Ambo’ David is nothing but slanderous. “Bishop Ambo is his latest victim. Aside from tending to the relatives of EJK victims in his diocese, Bishop Ambo drew the ire of Duterte for his rebuke on the President’s latest attacks on the Catholic religion and the Church,” De Lima added.
