Evangelicals affirm Duterte’s call to ‘let healing begin’

WE, THE Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), congratulate Rodrigo Duterte as the newly elected president of the Republic of the Philippines. We thank God that after the May 9 elections, we can move on as one people in building our nation. We are specifically touched by Duterte’s call, “Let the healing begin.”

Indeed, let the healing begin. In response to his call, we ask our incoming president to please allow us to express to him the following:

Filipino people will be treated with dignity and honor and be respected with our basic human rights.

Again, we ask our incoming president to please accept our sincere congratulations.

“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God” (Romans 13:1).

—BISHOP NOEL ALBA PANTOJA, national director, Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches
