Maiba naman! 588 pastors call on Alan Cayetano to run for president

By Billy Begas

Hundreds of pastors from different churches in the country have urged former Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano to run for president in the May 9, 2022 elections.

In an open letter, a total of 588 pastors, along with 1,564 of their church members said that they found in Cayetano a leader who can inspire Filipinos to believe in the power of faith amidst times of crisis.

“Sa pinakamadilim na oras ng ating bayan, kailangan natin ng isang lider na magdadala ng liwanag at pag-asa,” said in their letter dated September 16, 2021.

The signatures represent 562 churches. The letter is being circulated and the number is expected to increase.

“Kagalang-galang na dating Speaker Cayetano, naniniwala kami na ikaw ang lider na hinahanap ng ating bayan,” the letter read.

Cayetano said he is seeking the advice of his family and colleagues on what to do in the 2022 polls.

Pastor Raul Limpiado of Catarman Temple of Praise International in Samar said what the country needs right now is a leader who fears God and will do His will especially during this time of great uncertainty.

“Ang kailangan natin ay isang lider na naniniwala sa kapangyarihan ng pananampalataya at as kakayahan nitong baguhing ang anumang sitwasyon,” Limpiado said in a statement.

Limpiado is also optimistic that a faith-based leadership under Cayetano can unite the country.

“Ang faith-based leadership ay nakabase sa pananampalataya sa Diyos anuman ang ating relihiyon. Maraming relihiyon sa Pilipinas at naniniwala kami na si Cayetano, bilang isang public servant sa loob ng ilang dekada, ay kayang pag-isahin ang mga ito,” he added.

Limpiado also lauded Cayetano’s Sampung Libong Pag-Asa program and the Sari-Saring Pag-Asa initiative both of which have provided financial aid to thousands of households and sari-sari store owners across the country.
