The rich people in the philippines not just the chinese get kidnapped, kaya ganon dahil maraming naghihirap.
Bishop Leopoldo Jaucian, SVD:
"Filipino-Chinese have been trying to act as a tulay, bridge, between the two cultures. My dream is to move on to a new image. By now the "inculturation" of the two should be completed. My dream then for the Chinese-Filipino Apostolate is that we will be more than a tulay, but rather be seen as a bahay (home) with many rooms. We no longer need to bridge two distinct cultures, but rather we need to strive to make both cultures feel comfortable with each other. That image is the more "Christian" in that people feel comfortable with each other regardless of race and culture. Hopefully, this could help end social problems Chinese-Filipinos face, such as kidnapping of wealthy members."
http://www.ucanews.com/2008/08/18/chinese-...a-lot-to-offer/The question now is: why should the Catholic Church be given the responsibility for addressing the social problems of the Philippines? Law enforcement is the responsibility of the Philippine Government NOT the Catholic Church! Instead of promoting racial harmony and cultural diversity, it is Filipinos and their Philippine Government that is creating all these problems in the first place!
