Caloocan Bishop Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David said he hopes a law will be passed to compensate persons who have been jailed and eventually acquitted by the court.The cardinal said the compensation could be equivalent to the minimum wage, reckoned by the number of years spent in “unjust” detention to give them the opportunity and resources to start a new life.
Caught by the police, he was presented to the bishop and to his surprise, the bishop said he gave Jean Valjean the candelabra, and handed him several sticks more which he failed to gather. “The bishop said I am giving you the candelabra so that you will believe that you are a good man ….then, pay it forward,” David said.“Christmas is hospitality, pagpapatuloy … God said, whatever you for the down-trodden, you do it for me,” he added.
