Positibo ang Malacañang na mas magiging bukas at maganda ang relasyon ng Simbahang Katolika at pamahalaan sa pagkakahalal kay Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles bilang bagong pangulo ng Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (C-B-C-P).
Ayon kay Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella, isang magandang oportunidad din ang pagkakahalal kay Archbishop Valles upang ganap na maisulong sa buong bansa ang intercultural understanding at interfaith dialogue dahil sa matagal niyang pagsisilbi sa rehiyon ng Mindanao.
Bukod dito, tiwala rin ang kalihim na mas mapapabilis ang rehabilitasyon at muling pagbangon sa rehiyon ng Mindanao parikular na sa Marawi sa pamamagitan ng pagtutulungan ng Simbahan at pamahalaan.
“The new Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) head from Davao signals a new day of peace for a multi-cultural Philippines. Archbishop Valles has served Mindanao as a Catholic priest for four decades. His familiarity with Davao and Mindanao would augur well for the country as we promote interfaith dialogue and intercultural understanding as part of our efforts to rebuild Marawi and to transform Mindanao into a land of fulfillment.” pahayag ni Abella sa Radio Veritas.
Kaugnay nito, ipinaabot ni Abella ang pagbati ng Malacañang sa Arsobispo na magsisilbi bilang pinuno ng C-B-C-P sa susunod na dalawang taon simula December 2017.
“Our warm congratulations to Archbishop Valles as he leads the Catholic faithful in the country, towards developing a deeper spiritual life and for the Church to have a more open dialogue and cooperation with the government, especially in working for the poor and the marginalized.”pagbati ni Abella kay Archbishop Valles.
Papalitan ni Archbishop Valles ang kasalukuyang C-B-C-P President na si Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas na nasa kanyang huling termino na ngayong taon.
Samantala, naihalal naman bilang bagong CBCP Vice President si Kaloocan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David.
Ang C-B-C-P ay binubuo ng 131 Obispo kung saan 5 ang nagsisilbi bilang administrator, 83-Obispo ang aktibo habang 43 naman ang retirado.
