As conflicts persist across regions and communities continue to grapple with uncertainty, the Diocese of Legazpi, southeastern Philippines is framing this year’s “Inang Magayon” celebration as more than a traditional Marian gathering. Declared within its “Year of Mission,” the 2026 observance subtly positions local devotion as a response to a world in crisis.
On November 23, 2024, at Good Shepherd Cathedral in Novaliches, Bishop Joel Zamudio Baylon of the Diocese of Legazpi inspired 12 graduates of the Institute of Formation Fondacio Asia (IFFAsia) with a powerful message of faith, mission, and hope.
