Bishop to Miriam: Defend prelates anew – 11Aug01

AN OFFICIAL of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) issued a last-minute appeal to Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago Sunday to backtrack from her support for the reproductive health (RH) bill.
In an interview, CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Family and Life (ECFL) executive secretary Fr. Melvin Castro asked Santiago to take the same route like the last time he went face-to-face with Church leaders in the Senate floor.
โ€œWe are appealing to her to also defend the Churchโ€™s position on RH just like what she did when she defended the bishops on the SUV (sports utility vehicle) issue,โ€ said Castro.
It can be recalled that Santiago had staunchly defended Roman Catholic prelates in last monthโ€™s Senate inquiry on the controversial SUVs given by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), saying it should be the latterโ€™s officials who should be held liable.
At least seven prelates have been implicated in the supposed misuse of PCSO funds but were eventually cleared by the senators.
This time though, Santiago and the CBCP are found on opposing sides over the controversial RH bill.
Santiago is expected to deliver her co-sponsorship speech on the RH Bill during Mondayโ€™s session of the Upper House.
The CBCP has been the strongest opponent of the RH bill, saying it is an anti-lie measure since it promotes use of artificial contraceptives.
The Catholic Church is only in favor of the natural family planning method. (AMN/Sunnex)

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year. Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times. Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesnโ€™t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball. The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.
