MANILA, August 24, 2011— At least three Catholic bishops were the beneficiaries of utility vehicles bought from money raised by a group of Catholics.
The group led by lawyer Romulo Macalintal and former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza were able to raised P2.7 million in around two months.
The fund raising drive was launched last July to provide utility vehicles for seven prelates who were criticized earlier for receiving cars from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office during the Arroyo administration.
