The United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) calls on all voters to carefully examine the platforms of candidates and to hold them accountable beyond election day. We urge you to support leaders who are genuinely committed to serving the people, upholding the Constitution, and advancing the common good—especially those who stand firmly against political dynasties and the misuse of the party-list system. The UCCP reaffirms its commitment to active political
engagement—advocating for justice, peace, and a truly democratic Philippines.


Let us work together to build a just and equitable society where the dignity of every Filipino is respected and protected. This vision is grounded in the words of Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” May this election serve as a turning point toward meaningful change and a brighter future for all.

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,
