On April 11, 2025, members from Franciscans International made a short visit at Bahay Capuchino to meet with Br. Edgar Martinez, OFMCap. Their mission is to connect with communities near the LNG plants in Batangas City. Next, they’ll explore Isla Verde, known as the “mother of all reefs,” and engage with local residents. Later, they’ll head to Mindoro, accompanied by Br. Jose Raul Rico, OFMCap., to connect with the community there.

Franciscans International plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between grassroots communities and global leaders at the United Nations. With our support, the voices of Franciscans and the people they serve are amplified on the world stage. Together, we use UN outcomes to influence international and national laws and policies, driving meaningful change.
