CABANATUAN CITY - Rival politicians running for various positions in Nueva Ecija are set to sign a peace covenant in connection with the May 14 elections, an official of the Parish Pastoral Council said.
Initiated by the PPCRV, the Candidates’ Forum and Peace Covenant, spearheaded by Bishop Sofronio A. Bancud of Cabanatuan, is expected to “clearly reiterate our unwavering commitment to peace and justice, for the service of our people and for the good of our province,” said a letter from Fr. Aldrin B. Domingo, PPCRV-Diocese of Cabanatuan coordinator.
The priest said that the covenant fills the need to promote peace and justice as fundamental foundations of a civilized, orderly and progressive society.
He stressed that “only in an environment of peace and justice can we pursue the road to progress and harmony that we all dream about.”
Candidates for congress, governor, vice governor, mayors will participate in the peace covenant, said Fr. Domingo.
It was learned that several candidates for posts in the municipal level have already signed peace covenants.
