From: Statement of Bishop Elmer M. Bolocon General Secretary, United Church of Christ in the Philippines May 16,2005 Prophets May Be Killed But the Prophetic Voice Can Never Be Silenced "Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13)
To the perpetrators of the dastardly act of assassination and murder, and those who are behind them:
You do not have the last say. We firmly believe that the God of justice – the God of the prophets, will vindicate the death of the Rev. Edison Lapuz and the many others whose lives you have snuffed out. You may think you have done the country good by eliminating with extreme prejudice its perceived “enemies”-- but for every life you unjustly take, many more will rise after them to cry out against the injustice until “two and two and fifty make a million” to see the day of genuine freedom come.
