Bishop Louie P. Galbines called on academic institutions and faith-based organizations to work together in responding to the environmental crisis, saying meaningful ecological action requires commitment, cooperation and a sense of shared responsibility.
Galbines delivered the message as the Diocese of Bacolod formalized environmental partnerships with La Consolacion College Bacolod and other academic institutions under a framework supporting ecological restoration, biodiversity conservation, environmental education and community engagement.
He described the partnership as an important first step toward creating a more coordinated and impactful response to environmental challenges.
“I think this is the very first step that we plan together — how we can work together so that our response is also impactful,” Galbines said.
