Peralta’s post received different reactions and was shared by several netizens. It also received a number of comments especially from the devoted Catholics.
Peralta said in his caption that the statue of Baby Jesus was lost and called on the culprit to return it however way the culprit can.
"Alang sa tanang parokyano sa The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus-Calinan Parish... Kung kinsa may nakadala sa Baby Jesus, palihug kog balik sa pasungan. Maluoy mo. Pero kung maulaw namo mobalik kay basig makita mo, pwede ra pud ninyo ibilin sa guardhouse sa Calinan NHS. Pero kung wala na gyud kay plano i-uli, ibutang nalang sa imong altar, ayaw lang gyud yaga-yagai. Ampingi intawon. Ayaw pud sya gamita sa dinautan nga tuyo. Unta sa imong pagdala Niya, motubo ug molambo imong pagtoo... Salamat (To all parishioners of The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus-Calinan Parish... Whoever has brought Baby Jesus with them please return it at the nativity scene. Have pity. But if you are ashamed to return it because someone might see you, you can leave it at the guardhouse of the Calinan National High School. But if you have no plans on returning it, please put it on your altar, don’t mock it. Take care of it. And don’t use it for your evil intentions. I hope that by bringing Baby Jesus, your faith will grow and develop... Thank you)," Peralta’s caption read.
