Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎄 and Happy New Year. Greetings from PLEB Baybay City

PLEB Baybay City strongly supports the advocacy to end Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC)

When you sin:

You lose your joy
You lose your freedom
You lose trust
You lose your peace
You lose happiness.

Sin Thrives in the dark and dies in the light. It destroys your character. It negatively affects and kills your soul.

Fr. Jowel Jomarsus Gatus
