Instead of relying on luck, an official of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said the faithful should rely on God’s goodness this coming New Year.

“We do not believe in luck. We believe in the providence and the goodness of God,” Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo, chairman of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on the Laity, said.

Recent Social Weather Stations survey results showed that 96 percent of adult Filipinos said they will welcome 2020 with hope while only four percent said they will welcome the new year with fear. Andanar assured the public that the Duterte administration will continue its pursuit of giving every Filipino a comfortable life.

“The economy is on the roll with a BBB+ rating. The Board of Investments has also breached its P1-trillion 2019 investment target as of October 2019, according to the Department of Trade and Indus­try. There are fewer poor Filipinos with almost six million lifted out from poverty. Employment has hit a 14-year high. Inflation has been tamed,” he said.

“The holiday season must not deter us from remembering our suffering brothers and sisters. Let us be one with them in their suf­fering and extend help in any way we can,” said His Eminence who is serving his final weeks at the Ma­nila archdiocese.
