The Marist Education Council (MEC), a gathering of heads of schools run by the Marist Brothers in the Philippine Sector of the East Asia Province, has released a statement on the National and Local Elections in May 2022. The statement calls on all Marists in the schools concerned to prayerfully discern their options in the coming elections and to courageously stand for the truth.

The statement further encourages all Marist educators to adopt a “heightened awareness of the motivations of candidates and the issues affecting the country.” It underlines the need for concerned educators “to develop critical thinking and inner freedom” in their engagement with the youth.
