1,000 join rally vs killings in Bacolod City
At least 1,000 Catholics joined a Church-organized rally in Bacolod City seeking an end to killings in the Philippines, especially of priests and those suspected of involvement in drugs.
Wearing black, the faithful went on a procession from Sacred Heart Shrine to San Sebastian Cathedral where a Mass for the dead was held.
The people wore black shirts with messages like “stop killings, pray for healing.”

“Let us not turn a blind eye,” said Bacolod Bishop Patricio Buzon in a letter calling on the faithful to join the procession.
The bishop declared Friday as a day of fasting and abstinence for the clergy, consecrated persons and lay faithful. —Carla P. Gomez
