"The mission of the church and civil society to serve, protect, and uplift the marginalized is not a threat to the state but a contribution to justice, peace, and the common good."
In his Letter of Intent to Diocese of Cagayan de Oro Bishop Felixberto Calang dated March 15, Yañez wrote that his commitment to uphold human dignity and rights, even amidst personal trials, had profoundly shaped his journey of faith and service.
The Promotion of Church People’s Response described Aldeem Yañez’s arrest as an “established pattern where authorities have planted firearms and ammunition during the operations.”
