BY CARLA GOMEZ

SAN CARLOS, Neg. Occ. – San Carlos Bishop Gerardo Alminaza yesterday said, “As we work together to feed the survivors of the recent earthquake and super typhoon Yolanda, and rebuild their lives, we must also  join hands in saving Mother Earth.”

“Our recent tragic experience calls us to strengthen our faith in God and in each other, as we help the victims of earthquake and the super typhoon,” he said.

At the same time, there is a need to look at the laws of nature put in by God which some greedy people and nations have broken, Alminaza added.
