Bacolod City grand rosary rally vs corruption draws over 3,000
Bacolod Bishop Patricio Buzon led over 3,000 Roman Catholics in a grand rosary rally in Bacolod City on Saturday, October 11, to pray for conversion against systemic corruption.
The rally, organized by Roman Catholic leaders and citizen groups, aimed to combine prayer with a call for transparency and accountability in government.
Bishop Buzon described the massive corruption involving flood control projects as "beyond belief" and "just the tip of the iceberg," opening a "Pandora's box" on the extent of government corruption.
He emphasized that while marches are important, prayer and sacrifice are also needed for radical change.
The Diocese of Bacolod stands with the people against government funds intended for public good lining the pockets of the powerful, as God sides with the poor against injustice.
Buzon also noted that corruption is systemic throughout society, with some citizens selling their votes to leaders who then steal from the government to recoup their expenses.
