Bacolod Bishop Patricio Buzon sees hope in the May next year elections, as he is banking on the 40 million youth to change the course of country’s history through the ballot.
“This election will not simply be a choice of a “lesser evil”, but “will truly be between the good and the bad, the competent and the incompetent, between the honest and the corrupt”, Buzon stressed during the launching of the GuBan movement yesterday at the Bishop’s House lobby in Bacolod City.
GuBan or Gugma-Banwa is an alliance that focuses on Clean, Honest, Accountable, Meaningful, and Peaceful Election and on pushing for participatory and good governance.
Buzon called on the youth to be to be a force in the May 2022 elections.
“We have to help our young people to think right…to see the truth and form them to love the truth”, the Bishop said.
If the 40 million youth will get their acts together, then “tapos na ang election,“ Buzon said.
The Bacolod bishop also warned against “lies” being spread through the social media, as he also rallied the people to teach young people to “love the truth”.
When you go against the Truth you are an agent of the Devil,” Buzon stressed.
Buzon also thanked the youth for always being at the forefront of the environmental cause in Negros, who are now joining the call for an honest and credible elections.*
