French Audio Post: Les crucifixions ont toujours lieu aux Philippines même si l'Église désapprouve

This is the first ever audio post, I am doing a news article reading for my French Speaking Practice. These audio posts are mostly done by me reading out an article in French. I am hoping to make my speaking better and also to provide an audio library of listening exercises for the followers of this blog.

For this audio post, I decided to read an article about the crucifixions here in the Philippines. The article is from The Canadian Press.
