At the close of the 3 rd general assembly of the Archdiocese Commission on the Laity ACL in Cebu City, Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma told Radio Veritas Asia that he foresees Rome’s approval of Sugbuswak within the year.
Palma emphasized that Cebu is now a conference center, not only in the Philippines but also in Asia, because it is the most convenient for many in terms of travel, cost, and, above all, the hospitality of the Cebuanos.
Even as he acknowledged the NMP’s desire to exhibit the panels to the general public, Palma said the illegal removal of the panels “constitutes a sacrilege.”
Archbishop Palma said he hopes that the momentum of the work be sustained, for the “ecclesiastical watershed” to “continue overflowing as pathways to the hearts of all the faithful.”
