CBCP President opposes coal-fired power plant



NO WITH A SMILE. Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president Archbishop Angel Lagdameo of Jaro smiles as he holds up a placard opposing the proposed building of a coal-fired power plant in Iloilo City. Lagdameo led thousands of Ilonggos at an interfaith rally Wednesday (March 5, 2008) calling on local and national government officials to reject coal as a power source because of threats to the environment.
