Heritage - Rene J. Dellosa

A controversial issue started when the Bacon parish priest (now deceased) decided to close the main south entrance of the church and attempted to cover and decorate it with garish "modern" bathroom tiles, to compel people not to go out during the "sermon" part of the mass. That action, of course, shocked and appalled Bacongnons sensitive to the preservation of historical sites such as the church. The repeated requests by the advocates to discuss the matter with the church hierarchy, especially with the Bishop of the Sorsogon Diocese, were treated dismissively. In short, the advocacy group led by Lorna Figueroa, Maning Eco and Jun Patria were given the "run around". It is sad and appalling that a revered institution would maintain an arrogant air; a practice supposedly discarded generations ago because it is archaic as well as anathema to this ecumenical age.

We are therefore appealing to the powers in the diocese to practice a little humility, to step down from their lofty heights and listen to the pleadings of their people and their need to preserve their historical and cultural heritage.

To the readers of this site, we beg for your active support to the noble cause, which those courageous advocates are struggling to preserve.

Rene J. Dellosa

Well stated.
Baco na ini panahon can Kastila.

I'm not surprised why many Catholics convert to different religion.

How could a Bishop say that "such case is too small for him."?
Would he dismiss me too if I come to him to beg for food because such case is too small?
That's the analogy.

Clearly He is not following the examples of Jesus.
He thinks he's God himself.

It is also frustrating that the current generation in Bacon forgets that their town was once upon a time a great town. Now they are even too willing to lose their identity and merged their town to a 5th rate city of Sorsogon.

a Bacon district( similar to a village in Africa) merged to a 5th rated city is also a "brainstorm" of some political leaders followed by stupid bacon lackeys. No stupid idea can come out on top without stupid followers.

Now you will have a lot of desecrated legacies including a church.

I agree with the Nov. 5th comment 10AM.

Can you write more on that topic so we can post it?
Honestly, I just found out about the merger 3 years after Bacon became a district.

I heard pieces of the story from different people.
I want to know more..

QUERIES:
1.Does Bacon have a Parish council?
2.Were they consulted prior to "BLOCKING THE CHURCH DOOR?
3.Where did the fund came from for this outrageous project when the church floor is not even done & paid for.

STUPID LEADER & STUPID FOLLOWERS!

Yes, Lorna Figueroa is the youngest daughter of the late Mayor & Vice Governor Poldo Figueroa and Tia Dela Nicolas Figueroa(still a Bacon resident).

I don't think it is necessary to name call.
