We envision a Filipino Nation that celebrates love for country, genuine democracy, and social justice. We envision a Philippine Church that is of the poor and for the poor– a Church that witnesses fully to the faith that does justice and to the socially transformative power of the Gospel. We envision Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan as a network for social transformation, inspiring timely, compassionate, faith-driven responses of humanizing action towards building the Church and the Filipino nation.
