The United Church of Christ in the Philippines praises the God of justice and righteousness for blessing the Church with yet another victory through the recent acquittal of Rev. Nathaniel “Dodo” Vallente of Bohol Conference. We believe this triumph was made possible through the persistent cries and collective action of peace and justice advocates who have remained steadfast in their pursuit of truth and freedom.
After languishing in prison for three years and four months, Rev. Dodo endured the unimaginable—falsely accused and unjustly imprisoned on trumped-up charges of illegal possession of explosives. His only “crime” was answering the prophetic call to minister to the poor and to stand boldly alongside the oppressed and victims of injustice. His unwavering commitment to truth and compassion made him a target, yet he remained steadfast in his faith and mission. We can scarcely begin to fathom the pain, isolation, and emotional toll this ordeal inflicted—not only on Rev. Dodo himself, but also on his family, his congregation, and the wider community that looked to him for spiritual leadership. The suffering they endured in silence speaks volumes about the cost of prophetic witness in the face of systemic injustice.
