In celebration of this year’s National Bible Day, CIBAC Party List Representative Bro. Eddie Villanueva called for political ceasefire among all political leaders in connection with the fights surrounding charter change and people’s initiative efforts.
In a privilege speech delivered in Congress on Monday, Bro. Eddie called on all political camps to abandon all political bickerings and personal agenda and to turn back to God to avert any possible sudden destruction that is threatening the country.
“Nasa krisis po ngayon ang ating bansa. You can ignore it; you can accept it. But it is a fact; it is a reality… Kung narinig natin ang mga mensahe kahapon sa People’s Assembly sa Luneta sa pangunguna ng ating Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, at sa Davao City sa pangunguna ng dating Presidente Rodrigo Duterte… The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart: kung hindi mapipigil ang lumalalang political crisis that will lead to Constitutional crisis, this will lead our nation to destruction,” said Bro. Eddie.
“Meron pong nakaambang panganib. Kapag hindi nagkaroon ng intervention ang Diyos sa ating bansa, patungo ito sa political, business, economic, social super-typhoon that will eventually lead our beloved nation to nationwide chaos and anarchy. At lahat nang pinaghirapan natin dito sa Kongreso for many years will suddenly be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye,” added the CIBAC solon.
“Ang solusyon po ay nasa Salita ng Diyos…Gusto kong hikayatin ang lahing Pilipino, magbalik-loob tayo sa Diyos. Magkaroon ng banal na takot sa Diyos.. Sabi ng Proverbs 9:10, ‘The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom,’ Kapag ang mga leaders ng ating bansa ay wala ni katiting na fear of God, walang wisdom. Pag walang wisdom, walang mangyayari sa direksyon ng ating bansa at ng ating lipunan,” said Bro. Eddie
“Kaya sabi ng Diyos, kung tayo’y magpapakumbaba, mananalangin, hahanapin ang Kanyang mukha, tatalikod sa kasalanan, “Ako na Diyos na may gawa ng langit at lupa, patatawarin ko ang inyong mga kasalanan at pagagalingin ko ang inyong bayan..’ Ang Salita ng Diyos can make or break a nation. Ang Salita ng Diyos can make or break an individual person. Gusto ng Diyos, lahat po tayo, ang konklusyon ng buhay natin sa mundong ito ay maganda—hindi condemned ng history,” ended the CIBAC solon Bro. Eddie capped his privilege speech with a prayer for the nation and its leaders.
