The social action arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has appealed to prelates to show solidarity to the dioceses of Borongan and Catarman in Samar by providing aid to those affected by Typhoon “Ambo.” In this great time of need, we urge you to show solidarity to the Dioceses of Borongan and Catarman by giving your donations directly to them,” Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo, chairman of the CBCP National Secretariat for Social Action Justice & Peace, said in a statement.

“We are hoping that you will positively respond to this appeal, while steadfastly praying that all will be well,” he added.
