DATU PIANG, Maguindanao—For weeks now, parishioners of the church in Datu Piang, Maguindanao have been praying for a peaceful conduct of the general voters’ registrations, now on its last day in the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
The 300 or so Catholic families who hear mass at the Sta. Teresita Parish Church have been offering special intentions for peace.
Parish priest Ben Gomez said part of their community prayers include the protection of registrants and the enlightenment of political leaders.
Every Sunday, the registration schedules are announced to inform and encourage churchgoers, he said.
In what seems like a sign that their prayers have been answered, not a single untoward incident has been heard of.
