Buzon gives an overview of BSV, including personal experiences and those of other Bishops; the Diocese of Bacolod appropriates the devotion, which has gone beyond the Gaston family (whom he thanks) and the diocese; presented to the CBCP meeting last July 2024 and testimonies of some bishops; original icon: commissioned by then Bishop Casimiro Lladoc, belongs to the Diocese, enthroned at the Cathedral and awaits a definitive Shrine in Silay City.
