Hi, Paulo! Cathedral Parish of St. Andrew, Brgy. La Huerta.

The Diocesan Shrine and Parish of the Immaculate Conception in Malabon apologizes for tying a live pigeon in a cluster of balloons for their Salubong ritual on April 5, 2026. 

“Our bishop has since expressed his objection to this practice, noting that it is not only cruel to the animal but also harmful to the environment, especially to marine life that may ingest deflated balloons,” the statement read.

The Animal Kingdom Foundation has flagged the incident as a “method that caused discomfort to the animal.” @here
