MANILA, Philippines – Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas led a fluvial procession on Tuesday morning, July 16, to pray for peace in the face of China’s aggressive behavior in the West Philippine Sea.
The Marian prayer voyage was held off the coast of Barangay Cato in Infanta, Pangasinan, after a 6 am Mass led by Villegas and Alaminos Bishop Napoleon Sipalay Jr.
Villegas told Rappler they conducted the procession in parts of the West Philippine Sea, which China claims despite a 2016 arbitral tribunal ruling upholding the rights of the Philippines. Villegas led the recitation of the rosary and later stood beside an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was carried on the boat, as Tuesday was also the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
