He also reiterated that although the occasion will primarily be held to celebrate Buddha’s birthday, it does not mean that the mostly Catholic participants will be converted into Buddhism. Instead, the occasion, Siao said, will be a way to uphold unity despite differences in faith and beliefs.
Kanya ring ipinaliwanag na gaganapin man ang pagdiriwang sa Buddha’s birthday, hindi ito nangangahulugan na gagawing Budista ang mga Katolikong kalahok. Sa halip, ang pagdiriwang, ayon kay Siao, ay magiging daan upang magkaisa ang magkakaibang paniniwala at pananampalataya.
