MANILA, Philippines — After the split into two factions of the lay movement Couples for Christ (CfC), one side now claims to have the official recognition of the Church hierarchy.

Commenting on the split in an interview over dzBB Friday, Antonio Meloto, who was the head of the CfC’s highly successful flagship housing program Gawad Kalinga, noted that the recognition of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and the Vatican is with the group supporting Gawad Kalinga.
