THE Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on Saturday reiterated its willingness to open its facilities as Covid-19 vaccination centers.

'We are always open to partnering with the government when it's for the common good,' said CBCP Vice President and Caloocan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, following the announcement of the Department of Health that the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (Nitag) is pushing for the use of church facilities as mega vaccination sites.
