MANILA Philippines (July 16, 2011) - Philippine President Benigno Aquino III finds it amazing that bishops are asking him and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Chair Margarita Juico to issue a public apology for dragging the Church into a scandal when some Catholic bishops were involved in controversial fund disbursements at the PCSO.
“It’s not clear why I should apologize to them,” Aquino said. “I’m ready to apologize if I did something wrong. But where did all these start?”
