CMSP

The CMSP will be acknowledged as a reliable and consistent witness of God’s mercy and compassion in living joyfully and authentically our vowed life.

We, the Major Superiors in the Philippines, bound together by our life of consecration and ministry of servant leadership, harmonize our distinctive and diversed charisms of our religious and secular institutes for collective witnessing and prophetic action for the building- up of the Body of Christ.

1. To create more responsive, effective, efficient, and systematic structures and programs that enrich mutual growth and development towards fullness of life among the members and the people we serve.

2. To accompany and work with the poor and the marginalized as they reclaim their dignity so that we become partners in the work of transformation.

3. To foster the spirit of greater openness, cooperation and collaboration among consecrated persons in the Philippines in our common task of Evangelization and in strengthening a Synodal Church.

50th year of AMRSP

The two associations that make up AMRSP - the Association of Major Religious Superiors of Men in the Philippines (AMRSMP) and the Association of Major Religious Superiors of Women in the Philippines (AMRWSP) - were founded in 1955 at the instance of the Pope Pius XII, who envisioned the creation of conferences of Major Superiors in order to coordinate mutual concerns and to provide a forum for shared resources, both human and financial. Based on the original statutes of the Associations, all major (or highest) superiors of institutes of consecrated life of active apostolate are automatically considered a member. The shared apostolates, ministries, and activities eventually spilled over not only within the individual associations, but also, between the two. In due time, the Executive Boards of the two associations decided to meet once a year to discuss mutual concerns. In 1970, immediately after the first meeting of Asian Bishops (which gave birth to the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences), and the visit of Saint Paul VI, the superiors of religious men and women convened in Mirador Hill in Baguio City from November 30 to December 5, 1970. In this first joint convention, both associations decided to establish a joint secretariat. This would later become what is known now as the AMRSP.

Political fireworks have erupted between the BBM and Duterte camps. Triggered by the people’s initiative for charter change, the lines have been drawn with the BBM camp pushing for it and the Duterte camp declaring its all-out opposition.

Both camps have traded insults accusing each other of drug use. The Duterte camp has gone as far as to call for the resignation of the sitting president. Former president Rodrigo Duterte has warned that BongBong Marcos can suffer the same fate as his father and be ousted.
