There were 215 registered delegates attending the one-day event which was held in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. The Pro-life Conference carried the theme, “Hope Amidst Adversity: Addressing Critical Issues in Life & The Family”. There were two main speakers of the event.

The first speaker was Dr. Rener Josef Bullecer and co-organizer of the event. He discussed two topics which includes, “Unborn, Unvalued: The Silent Scream of Our Time“. Here, Dr. Bullecer re-emphasized on how and when human life begins, the ensoulment and the different types of abortion plus the countries where abortion is legal.

The second assigned topic was, “Choice Life: The Ultimate Revolution”.. Under this topic, Dr. Bullecer made a long discussion on the current and actual de-population or the so-called “demographic winter” happening globally and its consequences to the world’s economy and its impact to the Catholic faith. He further enumerated the reasons why more and more people opted to have no children these days.


The second speaker was Rev. Fr. Darwin Gitgano, a diocesan exorcist. His assigned topic was on, “Finding Hope in the Darkness: Spiritual Warfare & Family Resilience”. In his long presentation, Dr. Gitgano made more thorough explanations on why more families are more vulnerable to the forces of evil and also why more people are being subjected and victimised by the influences of the evil spirits. He strongly urged every Filipino family to bring back prayer in every home and the use of the different sacramentals as a way of protection.  After the open forum, the whole-day event ended with a Holys sacrifice of the Mass.
