Cardinal undergoes cataract operation
Aug 06, 2005
Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal flew to Manila early this week to undergo a cataract operation.

(sunstar.com, July 30, 2005) Because of the recent operation, the prelate was advised by his surgeon to rest and not to travel, said Cebu Archdiocesan media liaison officer Msgr. Achilles Dakay yesterday.

Vidal is expected to return to Cebu City next week, Dakay told Sun.Star Cebu.

The prelate was scheduled to speak yesterday before 27 selected policemen who graduated from a one-month PNP values and leadership training course at Gochan Hall in the Archbishop Compound on D. Jakosalem St., Cebu City.

The archdiocese sent Fr. Carmelo Diola to deliver the inspirational talk during the closing ceremony yesterday noon.

Fr. Diola challenged the policemen to remain faithful to their commitment to service, stressing that social transformation starts with the transformation of one’s heart.

The month-long training course was initiated to allow policemen to look deeply into themselves, assess their performances, and renew and enrich their faith in God, said Chief Supt. Samson R. Tucay, officer-in-charge of the PNP values and leadership school.

The participants of the training are expected to echo what they learned to their comrades.
