Bishop Bacani Urge Parents to Name their New-born Male Child after Kian Lloyd

Bishop-Emeritus of Novaliches Teodoro Bacani Jr., urge churchgoers to name their new-born children after Kian Lloyd Delos Santos during an afternoon special mass on Tuesday.

The 77-year old Catholic leader said that the slain teen should be remembered by everyone, including those who are not yet born.

“Kian was a son of God. A son of God must always be remembered. Let us name our children after him. Let us remember him in peace”, Bacani said during a sermon.

Bacani is among well-known Catholic leaders in the country, and like many other Catholic leaders, he also shared his own controversy when President Rodrigo Duterte earlier accused him of having a family – an accusation he strongly denied.

Parents of the slain teen had meet last week with the President, but Bacani said an apology is not enough.

“People who caused him and his family harm should be punished,” Bacani said referring to the PNP members who were involved in Kian’s death.

Bacani later also asked churchgoers to give more offerings in order to raise fund to fight Duterte’s war on drugs.

“If you gave P10 before, make it P20 today. Let us raise funds to fight the evil in this country,” Bacani added.

Bacani’s call follow after Sen. Risa Hontiveros last week said that she will submit a bill making August 26 a Kian Delos Santos Day. /Fanny Jalacjac/
