Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David is a Catholic leader in the Philippines. He works in a poor area near Manila. He helps people who are poor and in need. He became a cardinal because he cares about the people and wants to help them.

The Catholic Church is very important in the Philippines. Many people are Catholic. But now, some people do not agree with the Church about family and marriage. Some people want new laws for divorce and family planning. The Church does not like these new laws, but many people still want them.

Cardinal David says the Church should help people and give advice, but not control the government. He thinks the Church should be kind and listen to people. He wants the Church to be close to the people and show care and love.
