‘Di naman forever! Palace asks Church to continue services online

By Prince Golez

Malacañang has urged parishes to continue live-streaming masses online amid the continued implementation of community quarantine in the country.

In a virtual presser yesterday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque also asked the Catholic Church to comply with the 10-person limit for religious services.

“Napatunayan na po na talagang maraming mga kaso ng COVID (coronavirus) ang bigla na lang nagkahawaan dahil po dito sa religious worships,” according to Roque.

“Sa akin po pupuwede naman po na mag-online tayo sa ngayon at obserbahan na muna natin iyong 10 persons dahil ito naman po ay temporary lamang,” he also said.

“Noong nanawagan po ang mga frontliners na bumalik sa (enhanced community quarantine), unang-una naman po ang Simbahang Katolika na nagbawal sa gatherings. So in the same spirit po, para lang maiwasan ang pagkalat po ng COVID, eh sana po pasensiya na po muna at hindi naman po ito forever,” he added.

On Thursday, Manila Archdiocese apostolic administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo called the government-imposed 10-person capacity for religious gatherings “illogical,” saying that restaurants are only allowed to operate up to 30 percent seating capacity.
