CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Island of Cebu, regarded as the cradle of Christianity, is home to various beautiful and heritage Catholic churches. Catholic faithful planning to hold their Visita Iglesia this Holy Week can either reflect and marvel at the historical churches of the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño and Boljoon Church or can wonder at the modern design of the Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod located at the South Road Properties (SRP) in Cebu City. The chapel is dedicated to San Pedro Calungsod, a Catholic-Visayan migrant, sacristan, and missionary catechist who suffered religious persecution and martyrdom in Guam for his missionary works in 1672.

The BPF is an affiliate of the UDC, an opposition coalition. Those who are calling for the intervention of the UDC in BPF matters use the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) 2017 conflicts as a reference point or potent reminder to the coalition leadership that failure to mediate timely can be costly. There is an opinion that had the UDC timely intervened during the BMD internal conflicts, the party would not have experienced a split, a development that ultimately led to the formation of the Alliance for Progressives (AP).
