Video shows priest humiliating unwed mother in baptism in Mandaue

Post by Jieve Daitol Frias.

A young unwed mother decried the “sermon” given to her by the priest that officiated the baptimisal rites of her infant son in front of her family and friends in a chapel in Mandaue City. “Makauulaw na magpabunyag ka og walay bana. Nakig dug ka og laki nga dili nimo bana. Wala ma mauwaw (It’s humiliating to have a baptism without a husband. You slept with a man that is not your husband? Aren’t you ashamed)?” Fr. Romeo Ubach of the Sacred Heart Chaplaincy in Eversely Child Sanitarium asked the 17-year-old woman who carried her months-old baby. “Kining bata walay sala pero ang mama nga nakigdug og lalaki nga wala pay kasal maoy nagpuyo sa sala. Mapasa unya ni sa bata ang disgrasya. Dili unta nga nag happy happy unya naay bata. Oo, grasya ni pero nabuhat ni siya sa sala (This child has no sin but her mother who slept with a man without being married to him lives in sin. She may pass on the consequences of her sin to her child. There shouldn’t have been indulging in their passion then bore a child. Yes, a child is a gift from God but the baby was borne due to sin),” the priest said. After giving his “sermon” Fr. Ubach asked the mother if she was married to her baby’s father. 

The child’s grandmother took a video of the priest’s sermon and uploaded it to her Facebook account yesterday. The video has been shared more than 9,000 times as of Monday afternoon. The young mother told Cebu Daily News they don’t know where to go yet. “For now we don’t know whom to seek for help but for sure we will have a move on this,” she said. At the time the priest was publicly humiliating her, she said she wanted to walk out. “Feel unta nako nga mo walk out na tungod sa kauwaw. Kahilakon na ko sa iyang pang-insulto (I felt like I wanted to walk out because of my humiliation. I wanted to cry because of his insults),” she said. Her mother who posted the video on Facebook said they went to the church to have her grandchild baptized and blessed and didn’t expect to be insulted by the priest. She said her daughter suffered enough and tried to commit suicide but decided to hold on and keep the baby. The video and their posts drew comments from the netizens. “Where is the love that Christ has taught us? Reminds me of the Pharisees in Jesus time. I pity the mother,” said one Netizen who commented on the video. “The young mother is battling with fear and confusion, dapat agakon niya or as priest individual counseling is best…dli kay publicly humiliate Inday kay nauwaw na gani ang bata sa nahitabo nya..gi pun-an pa jud (he should have comforted her or counseled her in private…not publicly humiliate the girl because she was already embarrassed with what happened to her and then he added to her misery),” said one comment.

DTI LogoCentral Visayas, June 22 (PIA) ---- The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Cebu installed its
Business Assistance Centers (BAC) in Yolanda-affected areas such as in Bogo City and Daanbantayan town.

In a media release recently, DTI-Cebu explained that these BACs will function as the “little DTI” operating within the locality and will implement its flagship projects and basic functions within its geographical scope.
These centers will also function as DTI-Cebu’s contact point or administrative extension in the different affected LGUs and help in delivering and facilitating the necessary and immediate support services related to rehabilitation and recovery efforts for the industry, trade, services (ITS) sectors.

DTI-7 said the BAC installed in Bogo City and Daanbantayan will also aid in building and enhancing linkages with the local government units and conducting consultancies to facilitate the needs of the business sector.
Bogo City Mayor Celestino Martinez and the Daanbantayan Municipal Mayor Augusto Corro are actively supporting the project and are positive thate these centers will bring government closer to the towns business instead of the residents travelling to Cebu City to transact with DTI.

BAC personnel assigned in Bogo City will cover the areas within Bogo City, Medellin and San Remigio while personnel assigned to cover Daanbantayan will also include Malapascua Island.

Programs and services that will be coordinated by the BAC are Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB), Shared Services Facilities (SSF), Streamlining of Business Permits and Licensing System (BPLS), Industry Clustering/Value Chain mapping, Green Growth and Disaster Resilience, Building Local Competitiveness and Investment Promotions.

DTI will also establish BACs in the municipalities of Sta. Fe and Sogod.

First order of business for BAC personnel is an updated profile of the LGU for identifying raw materials indigenous in the locality that can be used for skills training and livelihood development.

For more information on the Business Assistance Centers, interested parties may call the DTI Cebu Provincial Office at tel. nos. 255-6971 or 255-3926. (mbcn/AYS/PIA7 with reports from DTI-Cebu)
