The Archdiocese of Manila will be implementing changes in its activities even after the lockdown due to the global spread of the new coronavirus disease.

Bishop Broderick Pabillo, Manila’s apostolic administrator, said the archdiocese will definitely strengthen its social media presence and improve the ministry for the sick.
