RE: “GAWAD KALINGA”

Greetings of LOVE and PEACE in CHRIST!

Do allow me to hereby expressly inform you that the COUPLES FOR CHRIST  has eventually and officially separated the “Gawad Kalinga” from itself as a civic entity.

Please let me no longer explain the reasons why such a formal division has finally taken place.

In this particular regard, please have the following official advisory: IT WOULE BE RIGHT AND PRUDENT FOR YOU AND ME NOT TO HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH THE “GAWAD KALINGA” — DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY— in the event that such goes to your respective Parishes or Chaplaincies.

This in no way means that the said civic entity is altogether bad or something the like. Yet, pastoral prudence dictates the above advisory.

GOD BLESS! ALL THE BEST!
