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.
