Two Philippine Bishops Endorse Pro-Life Candidate Reyes
As a non-profit organization, Philippine Aid Society cannot endorse any politician or political party, nor do I know enough about the candidates to form an educated opinion, but the election of a pro-life president is important for the Philippines.

“You can’t separate faith from political life,” de los Reyes said in October. “As a Catholic, my role is to assert my principle and values to the society.”
“I am against abortion in all cases and the use of birth control pills and condoms even among married couples,” he added. Instead, de los Reyes has supported the use of natural family planning. Read the whole story.
