I really salute Redemptorist priest Amado “Fr. Picx” Picardal for his bold effort — the “bike for life and peace,” which covered 5, 164 kilometers around the country. The journey ended today, May 18 at the Redemptorist church in Bajada, Davao City. Fr. Picx endured harsh weather conditions along the road to convey his message to the people around the country.

When he reached the Palace on April 27, guards barred him from entering the premises of the Palace. It’s nothing but a sign of government’s paranoia. It’s really frustrating to see Fr. Picx being barred at the checkpoint. The guards even alerted nearby police when he came closer to the guard house.

But anyway, that’s over. Let’s just hope that Fr. Picx message was loud enough so that the government would heed his call.
