InterAksyon.com reports that some bishops were asked if gays were permitted to join the Santacruzan festivities. Three bishops had different answers. The report noted: "Caloocan Bishop Deogracias Iniguez—also of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Episcopal Commission on Public Affairs—
welcomes gays' participation, but only if it is a way for them to 'repent and change.'" Iniguez said, "Gayunman, kung malaking palabas lamang ang pagsali ng third sex sa sagala, ito’y hindi nararapat dahil ang Santacruzan ay hindi fashion show kung hindi isang sagradong pagdiriwang ng Simbahang Katoliko (However, if gays joining the parade is all for show, this is not appropriate because the Santacruzan is not a fashion show, but a sacred celebration of the Catholic Church)."
