MANILA, Philippines – The executive sectary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is calling on all Filipinos worldwide to support Filipino-Mexican-American contestant Jessica Sanchez, who is currently part of “American Idol” Top 4.

She is set to conquer the “Idol” stage once again on Wednesday night (Thursday morning in Manila) along with the other remaining contestants.

In an interview with reporters, Father Conegundo Garganta said it is but right to vote for the 16-year-old singer.

“With such talent, it’s only but proper for us to help and support her especially since she’s a youth. I think she’s only 16 or 17 years old and she’s faced with such a big challenge already,” he said.

Garganta said Filipinos should also not forget to pray for Sanchez, most especially now since the competition is nearing its finale.

Meanwhile, Garganta said he is hoping that the youth will be inspired by Sanchez's perseverance.

“Whether or not Jessica Sanchez wins, I hope this will open the door for other people to show their talent to the world,” said Garganta.

Naku...baka madagdag pa si Jessica Sanchez doon sa responsorial psalm.

[Stoner]

CBCP is channeling politician tactics. Kailangan maisulat sa pahayagan every now and then para meron name recall. Else they'll fade away into obscurity.

So everything and anything under the sun is fair game for their 'religious' commentary.

kahit nung holyweek, may kaparehong isyu din na nabalita.

instead of praying (for ones sins/forgiveness), CBCP is asking Pinoys to pray in order to win something. eto rin yata yun..

[uls]

in touch sa pop culture ang CBCP no?

[swordsman]

[lowslowbenz]

Sa dinami-dami na problem ng Pilipino ........ pati ito pa ba naman dapat ipagdasal?

[uls]

kakatawa talaga mga institutions dito no?

[miked]

Di makabasag pinggan talaga ang CBCP....santo dito, santo dun. scandal dito, scandal dun.

Banal na aso, santong kabayo! Natatawa ako hihihihi

[cutedoc]

really? i believe in God and i know there are good bishops and i also understand that there are some "holy" man that sins, but announcing stupidity in public is such a lame thing for cbcp to do...

before the cbcp seeks prayers for the convicted pinoys (due to drug pushing, and they admitted) why would we pray for their pardon...

i hope cbcp answers and read tsikot and gave their response and proper explanation why we should pray for them...

[chua_riwap]

eh pa'no kung matalo?
magagalit ba cbcp?

[uls]

pag natalo God's will daw

[111prez]

hmmm, eh kung ma eliminate, ipa excommunicate ng simbahan ang mga hindi bumoto?
