Let’s all face it, it so hard to give up using social media because it’s where we receive the latest news and updates from our families and friend.

We frequently check our Facebook accounts, Instagram, or Twitter to see and know the latest about anything.

The bishop expressed that it could be one of the best form of sacrifice during the Holy Week. The devotees should reflect, pray or talk to someone who are sick instead of scrolling on their devices.

“Instead of pagbabantay sa Facebook o sa TV, magdasal muna tayo o magbasa ng bible o makipag-usap sa isang may sakit,” said Bishop Pabillo.

According to the report, Bishop Broderick Pabillo also stated that giving up social media is a form of self-discipline.

“Iyang mga bagay ba na what you denied to yourself, you give to the others. Iyan yung mahalaga, i-connect natin yan,” said Pabillo.
