Vox Populi

by Ardy Araneta-Batoy

For this edition of VOX POPULI, The Bohol Tribune is showing  the STRONG FAITH of the Boholano people in the ALMIGHTY FATHER as they begged for HIS intervention into the seeming danger that storm Dante was trying to manifest on June 1, 2021,  especially with the hoisting of storm signal no. 1 over the province. After The Bohol Tribune (through its Managing Editor) posted on FB a prayer, the netizens flooded the said FB wall with numerous responses and comments. 

The statement of prayer was this: “Lord, we believe in Your Mighty Power. Calm down the storm as we kneel in front of you. Amen!”
