In an earlier statement on this prayer campaign, Villegas explained that the Philippines is “”now a nation wounded and torn by socio-cultural and political issues, divided by opposing, bickering, quarrelling, and even hating factions.””
Sa naunang pahayag sa kampanyang ito panalangin, Villegas ipinaliwanag na ang Pilipinas ay “”ngayon ng isang bansa sugatan at punit-punit ng socio-cultural at pampulitikang isyu, na hinati sa pamamagitan ng paghadlang, bickering, quarreling, at kahit hating factions.””
