Grace and peace to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

With hearts full of thankfulness, not only to the gracious God, who is always just and faithful, but also to all of our constituents who have accompanied us on this challenging journey with their prayers, encouragement, and unshakable support.

As many of you are aware of, the Mandaluyong RTC court has issued an acquittal ruling in the perjury case filed against us. We accept this verdict with humility and reverence, knowing that justice belongs to God and that truth always prevails in His time.

Throughout this process, we relied upon the words of Psalm 37:6: “He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.” It has been a time of trial, introspection, and increased faith in the Lord’s providence. Our hope has never been in legal systems, but rather in the One who rules over heaven and earth.

We want to emphasize that our integrity and purpose remain unfading. We harbor no resentment in our hearts toward anyone and hope that this chapter serves as a testament to God’s grace, not only for us but also for others who are going through challenging times.

As we carry on with our journey as your church leaders, we do so with a fresh sense of dedication and a greater understanding of the importance of justice, mercy, and compassion.

Let’s keep walking in love, supporting each other with grace, and trusting in the fair judgment of our God.

With all humility and thanksgiving,

PIO D. BACONGA
