All is well between President Benigno Aquino III and the country's top Catholic Church leader after last year's bitterly fought Reproductive Health law

MANILA, Philippines – All is apparently well between President Benigno Aquino III and the Catholic Church after last year’s bitterly fought Reproductive Health law.

Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle himself celebrated the Christmas eve mass at the Aquino residence on Tuesday, December 24, a photo posted on Instagram by presidential sister Kris Aquino showed. 

Kris wrote in her Instagram account: “Christmas 2013, what a very special Mass concelebrated by Cardinal Tagle, Fr Arevalo & Fr Manoling. We had lovely songs & a soul enriching sermon. Cardinal said that he had visited many prisoners, a moving message from a prisoner goes something like this: hindi sigurado ang buhay dito, hindi sigurado kung matatanggap pa ko ng pamilya ko, iisa lang ang sigurado – na mahal ako ng Diyos…

Tagle, Father Catalino Arevalo and Father Manoling Francisco were all close to the President’s mother, the late President Corazon Aquino.

On Christmas Day, December 25, the President also took the time to go to the cinema to watch My Little Bossings, a Metro Manila Film Festival entry starring his sister Kris and nephew Bimby.  

The President is taking a short break beginning Friday, December 27, until Sunday, December 29. He will return to work on December 30 for the commemoration of the death of national hero Jose Rizal. – Rappler.com
