Archbishop urges students to fight injustice

Archbishop Socrates Villegas encouraged students, particularly those in Catholic schools, to be actively involved in societal issues and to stand against wrongdoing as the nation commemorates the 39th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution.

Villegas emphasized that for Christians, living solely for oneself is considered a sin, urging students to be "men and women for others."

He exhorted the youth to resist injustice, stating, "Do not tolerate wrongdoing. Resist what is wrong. Choose right even if no one is watching. That is integrity."

The Archbishop also encouraged prayer and faith in God's ability to bring positive change, countering the notion that the Church should remain silent on political matters.

He described the EDSA People Power Revolution as an event rooted in the Catholic faith's pursuit of justice for victims of human rights violations, highlighting its nature as a peaceful social revolution without bloodshed.
