Bishop urges govt. to help Filipinos detained abroad
A Catholic Church leader of the Philippines is calling on the government to help free Filipinos detained abroad and get them home safely. "The time has come ease the suffering of these people. The government cannot abandon them,” said Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga, the president of the Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
