MANILA\u2014 Church officials welcomed the approval by the House of Representatives of a proposed bill that seeks to uplift the lives of the poor and marginalized.<\/p>\n

Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said the \u201cMagna Carta of the Poor\u201d is a necessary measure to \u201cgive attention to the plight of the poor\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really hope that it becomes a law,\u201d Pabillo said.<\/p>\n

The lower House passed the bill last week, giving it another chance at becoming a law after it was vetoed in the previous administration.<\/p>\n

Under the measure, the government is mandated to prioritize programs for the poor that are concerned with the provision of food, shelter, livelihood, education and healthcare.<\/p>\n

Fr. Edwin Gariguez of the CBCP\u2019s National Secretariat for Social Action, said the bill will also provide the needed policy support for the Church\u2019s programs for the poor. \u201cBut it will not lessen the work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is long overdue and the government should go beyond legislative approval. It should be implemented to really make a dent in alleviating dismal poverty in the country,\u201d Gariguez said.\u00a0CBCPNews<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav admin_label=”Post Navigation” in_same_term=”off” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” prev_text=”PREVIOUS ARTICLE” next_text=”NEXT ARTICLE” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
