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.””
Katika taarifa mapema juu ya kampeni hii ya maombi, Villegas alieleza kuwa Philippines ni “”sasa taifa waliojeruhiwa na lenye na masuala ya kijamii na kiutamaduni na kisiasa, kugawanywa na kupinga, ugomvi, ugomvi, na hata kuwachukia makundi.””
