Gathered at Vila São José in Macau from October 27 to 31, 2026, we— bishops, priests, religious, lay communication leaders from across Asia— offer this statement as the fruit of prayer, discernment, and synodal dialogue.

Brothers and sisters, All Saints Day is all about this inner emptiness, which only points us to the search for God to fill up these in our lives. It is a disposition that trusts in the Lord’s accompaniment in their lives especially when they do His will.

This celebration in which our eyes turn to Our Lady, in this extraordinarily beautiful image of Mama Mary and Baby Jesus, the Santo Niño with the Holy Rosary, Nuestra Señora del Santo Rosario de Santa Maria, Bulacan.

The Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, has elevated the San Bartolome Parish in the City of Malabon to the dignity of Minor Basilica, the first in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kalookan.

The Holy Father Pope Leo XIV has appointed His Excellency, Most Rev. Crispin B. Varquez, D.D., the Bishop of the Diocese of Borongan in the Province of Eastern Samar, as the new Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tagbilaran in the Province of Bohol. The appointment was announced on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 12:00NN, (6:00PM Philippine time).

If Our Lord teaches the law of love, first above all, then why should we not do the same when they can give life to others?

When our Lord asked the disciples to “give to Caesar what is due to Caesar, and to God what is due to God”, what do we have in mind?

I once heard this as a word from the wise: if one is holding a feast and wants to invite Filipinos, the first thing that one should do is this: Do not require them to come.

Fifty years after the Shroud of Turin was first exhibited in the Philippines, the Shroud Exhibit returns to the Manila Cathedral, inviting Filipinos to contemplate the face of Christ.

This is exactly the theme of our Gospel today – the Parable of the Tenants. The workers thought that they were the owners of the vineyard, and when the vintage time came, when the owner of the vineyard came to collect what was due to him, they refused to give back the vineyard.

In celebration of Youth Month in the Archdiocese of Manila, the Archdiocesan Commission on Youth (ACY) staged the 14th YouMiCon, or Youth Ministry Conference last September 26, serving as the celebration’s culminating and cornerstone activity at Paco Catholic School.

I thought I was simply saying yes to an assembly (Asian Catholic Digital Missionary Assembly-ACDMA).

Those who came to the church to celebrate mass today are the ones who said “yes” to the Lord’s invitation, and who followed through.

For me, as your Apostolic Nuncio, that is, as the representative of Pope Leo XIV here in the Philippines, it makes me very happy to be back here once again. This time, for the 75th Anniversary of the Elevation of the Church of Caceres as an Archdiocese.
