MANILA, Philippines – In the Philippines, the Archdiocese of Manila began on Sunday the daily recitation of an “obligatory prayer” for national healing following the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
The prayer, called an oratio imperata in Latin, was issued by Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula. This came over a week after Duterte, 79, was arrested and then detained at the International Criminal Court in The Hague for alleged crimes against humanity.
