READ: Alleged open letter by CBCP Arch.Villegas to Mayor Duterte

A viral Letter criticizing the leadership skill of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte by the Archbishop Socrates Villegas has been doing the rounds online.

In a Facebook post by Niel Ochoco published recently, shared more than 824 times as of Wednesday evening, showing the alleged letter of the CBCP castigating the Presidential front-runner Davao City Mayor Rodrigo for cursing the Pope Francis and his questionable leadership.

Niel Ochoco wrote to his account : Woke up this morning to see these black propaganda against Mayor Duterte purportedly from Archbishop Socrates Villegas of CBCP in our gate. Nice try.
You can throw the entire kitchen sink against him and try to derail his destiny with Malacanang but that won’t stop the millions of Filipinos who are now starving for genuine change.

Read the Letter of the CBCP below:

Mayor Duterte.
What the world desperately needs now is leadership by example. We have so many leaders in office and many more aspiring to sit in office but are they examples of good citizenship? If the leaders we choose are to be leaders for national progress they must be visionaries AND exemplary.
Corruption is indeed a great scourge of Philippine politics.

The usual face of corruption that we recognize easily is stealing from public funds. Corruption, like monster, is a devil with many faces. Killing people is corruption. Killing is a crime and a sin whether it is done by criminals or public officials no matter what the intention. Adultery is corruption. It makes married love cheap and uses people for please. Adultery corrupts the family; it destroys children and victimizes the weak. Vulgarity is corruption. When we find vulgarity funny, we have really become beastly and barbaric as a people. When a revered and loved and admired man like Pope Francis is cursed by a political candidate and the audience laugh, I can only bow my head and grieve in great shame. My countrymen has gone to the dregs.

Is this the leadership by example that Mayor Duterte excites in us? Is this the leadership by example that makes a public official deserving of the title “Honorable”?
