Thirty-eight pilgrims from the Commission on Youth of the Archdiocese of Cebu will bring ‘Barkada ni Pedro’ (BNP) to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil during the World Youth Day celebration next month.
Marlito Cabigas, BNP administrator, said the delegation will promote San Pedro Calungsod to the participants of this international youth gathering through the ‘Barkada ni Pedro’ facebook fan page.
If they ‘like’ the page, they will receive daily updates about San Pedro Calungsod and our Catholic faith.
The group plans to print t-shirts, produce stampitas and button pins to be given away to other pilgrims during the World Youth Day on July 17-28.
Because of this, the group will facilitate a fundraising activity, a special advance screening of ‘Boses,’ an award-winning movie endorsed by Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma.
The pre-screening will be on June 25 at SM City Cebu Cinema 5 with three pre-screening schedules (10 a.m. noon and 2 p.m.).
The movie has received endorsements from the Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines and the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines–Episcopal Commission on Youth, and has won awards from prestigious film award-giving bodies both here and abroad.
