MANILA, March 20, 2010—The Knights of Columbus Luzon Jurisdiction organized the 2nd Walk for Life in Manila.

With the theme “We Value Life,” the march is a simultaneous activity with the Visayas and Mindanao Jurisdiction.

The activity commenced with a Eucharistic celebration, 6 a.m., at the San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila. The Mass was celebrated by Most Rev. Honesto F. Ongtioco, State Chaplain & Bishop of Cubao.

It was immediately followed with the march passing through General Luna Street in Intramuros, then Padre Burgos St, Roxas Boulevard and finally Raja Soliman Park in Malate where a program was held.

The Walk for Life is a continuing activity of the Luzon Jurisdiction in order to promote its pro-life and pro-family advocacy.

Last year, the resounding statement of the Walk was the strong opposition of the Knights of Columbus to the Reproductive Health Bill otherwise known as House Bill No. 5043 that was then
being discussed in Congress.

A COVENANT OF PURE GIVING.

Candidates for councilors, 1st district of Quezon City, signed a covenant of peace to ensure honest, orderly and peaceful elections at the SM North Edsa Sky Dome yesterday March 11, 2010.

The covenant signing, an initiative credited to Quezon City Police District director Chief Superintendent Elmo San Diego, was graced by barangay captains, newbies in local politics, ranking police and representatives of the Commission on Elections and election watchdog Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV). Also present were representatives of the Knights of Columbus from various councils.“Your police, urge each one of you candidates to level the playing field by strictly adhering to our election laws to attain honest, orderly and peaceful elections even as we commit ourselves to continue to remain apolitical in our common bid or come up with a credible election,” said San Diego.
