By: Dr. Raul Nidoy, Board Member of Pro-Life Phil. Fdn. Inc. What is happening to our dear Filipino values of love for family, fidelity in marriage, love for babies, and respect for purity? The data show that there is an erosion of these values: a disturbing penetration of Western hedonism and its culture of death. From the data, we understand why Pope Francis called the Filipinos to action, insisting that we protect the family and protect children. MARRIAGE. An “inviolable institution” and “the foundation of the family”, according…
110 million sexually transmitted infections in U.S.: CDC report

How abortion played a part in Celine Dion’s devotion to her husband and family
By: John-Henry Westen January 15, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – World-famous Canadian singer Celine Dion is undergoing another chapter in her life as she grieves the death of her beloved husband and former manager Rene Angelil. Dion’s fairytale life and the fame she brought to her native Canada would never have been if a Catholic priest had not convinced her mother not to abort Celine in 1967. And it’s likely that her fierce devotion to her husband and family was learned from her mother who gave her life and the example of loving sacrifice. Even though he was 26 years older, Celine’s…

MANILA, Sept. 1, 2015 – Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle slammed abortion as an attack on human dignity— an important facet in respect for creation.

FILIPINOS FOR LIFE OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE SCOTUS’ DECISION ON SAME SEX “MARRIAGE”
Posted on 7 July 2015 by Truthsayer We, the members of Filipinos for Life, express our dismay at the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to legalize same-sex “marriage”. We believe that SCOTUS acted outside the bounds of its authority in redefining the meaning of an institution which has been understood, from the beginning of human civilization, as the union between a man and a woman. This lamentable decision, which has no historical, traditional, cultural, or natural foundations, is based on an irrational sentimentality and a misplaced sense of compassion that fails to consider the future of the…
