During the convention, one of the topics discussed is the Petrine and Marian model of the Church. It is about hierarchy, authority, and structure of the church (role of Peter) and how we follow the will of God and say Yes to God (role of Mary).
Whenever the member-bishops of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines meet together, the social and political issues of the day are discussed and, a resolution or statement is issued related to the matter.
The bishops have spoken and continue to speak. But I have not heard nor seen any statement from the Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas on the issues affecting the lives of the Catholic faithful like the NBN-ZTE scandal, the "bribery" scandal, the mining issues, anti-life bills in Congress, and many other issues.
LAIKO should listen to their pastors, and follow their lead. Like the bishops whenever they meet as a body, the convention should have been a venue to discuss the issues of the day, and we should have passed a resolution or resolutions supporting the stand of our pastors.
