Manila, Philippines
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has appointed Archbishop Rex Andrew Alarcon of Caceres as the national spiritual director of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).
CBCP president Bishop Pablo Virgilio David formally appointed Alarcon to the post on May 27, following the Permanent Council’s decision during its May 22 meeting.
In his appointment letter to Alarcon, the CBCP head said, “We express our deepest gratitude to you for accepting this assignment. May the Lord continue to bless and guide your ministry.”
He said the functions of the office “are in accordance with the statutes of the PPCRV and in coordination with the CBCP Episcopal Commission on the Laity.”
PPCRV is a national parish-based, political but non-partisan lay movement that works for clean, honest, accurate, meaningful, and peaceful elections.
Established in 1991, the movement was born from the realization that the laity must be part of nation-building and the renewal of Christian life.
PPCRV’s current national chairperson is Evelyn Singson.

The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (PAMALAKAYA) held a two-day fishing expedition in Masinloc, Zambales, to protest foreign military presence and assert sovereignty over Philippine territorial waters.
The initiative responds to Beijing’s unilateral fishing moratorium and the recent U.S. Balikatan military exercises.
According to PAMALAKAYA, the action challenges the fishing ban and advocates for the total removal of military operations in the West Philippine Sea.
Joey Marabe, provincial coordinator for PAMALAKAYA-Zambales, criticized military activities by both China and the United States.
“Foreign military presence in our waters challenges our sovereignty and affects our fisherfolk,” Marabe said.
