“You don’t become a good godfather and godmother with such a gift,” he said in a CBCP News post.
“The role of godparents is to help the parents in raising their children in faith,” Tagle added.
The cardinal also lamented how some people are more focused on the gifts or the “party” after baptism.
Tagle stressed:”The depth of faith is not measured by the size of celebration.”
