MOP Bishop Florencio prays for law enforcers
The Military Ordinariate of the Philippines (MOP) is urging the faithful to pray for the safety and well-being of law enforcers, especially those who contracted the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
MOP Bishop Oscar Jaime Florencio stated that police officers, military personnel, and other members of the armed forces serving under the Military Ordinariate are considered front-liners in the government's battle against Covid-19.
These government forces are crucial in enforcing safety health protocols and guidelines to curb the spread of the virus.
The call for prayers comes as Metro Manila and nearby provinces were placed under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) from August 4 to 18, leading to increased deployment of soldiers and police officers to enforce quarantine measures.
As of August 5, the Philippine National Police (PNP) Health Service reported a total of 2,347 PNP personnel infected with Covid-19, with 11 deaths and 1,384 recoveries.
The MOP provides spiritual support to the PNP, AFP, PCG, BFP, BJMP, and VMMC.
