Merci resigns.... HUWAATTT?

Ombudsman Merciditas Gutierrez finally resigned.

This is surprising. Asan na yung palaban niyang stance? O nagbasa na siya ng libro ni Dale Carnegie na "How to Win Friends and Influence People"? She seems to be fanning something. A smoke to cover something? Maybe. Pero ano nga ba ang implications ng resignation ni Merci? Let us count the ways:

But it's a stroke of art. Kung kailan me royalty wedding fever ang mga tao at kung kailan nasa Europe si Gloria Arroyo, saka pa siya nag-resign. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bantayan natin ang ratings bukas kung kelan huhupa na ang epekto ng kasalang William at Kate.

Ombudsman's clearance on Lasam: Puwede Naman

Just recently, the Ombudsman created a lot of blunders. Two of these is when the Office of Merceditas Gutierrez filed a case against Jose Barredo along with the alleged key players in the P728-million fertilizer fund scam and against a dead man, Gumersindo Lasam, a dead man who was earlier cleared by the very same Ombudsman "on May 4, 2009, certifying that Lasam had no pending criminal or administrative cases as of April 27 that year."

Well, tama naman. There were no cases filed. Malinaw, di ba? But this clarity and vividness (to use the verbosity of Brenda) simply shows one thing: Nagsisinungaling ang Ombudsman na pinag-aaralan talaga nila ang mga kaso. Di ba ang depensa ni Merci, they just don't file a case because they carefully study everything para di masayang ang efforts nila? How come na kahit isang guhit o patak ng printer ink tungkol kay Lasam ay walang nakita ang Ombudsman? Bakit pa nito hinayaang maging recipient ng Lingkod Bayan Award kung saan ay requirement ang Ombudsman clearance?

Nakoowwwww!!!! Lalo lang pinapakita ng Ombudsman ang kapalpakan nito. Naghahabol ba para sa depensa sa Impeachment Trial? Hmmnnn....

Sermon on the Mount

A shocking report from abs-cbnNEWS.com:

Priest tells RH bill supporters to leave Mass

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – A priest at the Baguio Cathedral drew flak from some Catholics after he ordered people supporting the reproductive health bill to leave the church and stop hearing Mass.

His remarks drew outrage from some parishioners, who walked out in consternation.

The priest, whose identity was withheld, used his sermon to mock supporters of the bill such as former Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel.
"Kung meron nakikimisa dito pero pro-RH bill… Please, go out. It's useless," the priest said.

"What is this mass for if you are pro-RH bill? What is going to Church for if you're pro-RH bill?" he asked. (continue reading here)
Shocking, indeed. Alam ba nang paring ito ang sinasabi niya? Kung si Kristo nga gustong kasama ang mga makasalanan para ma-convert ang mga ito at mapalapit sa Diyos, bakit si father na isang alagad ni Kristo namimili nang pagmimisahan?  Choosy naman si father. O baka tinatamad lang si father na gawin ang misyon niya -- ang ipahayag ang salita ng Diyos at maging isang pastol sa mga tupa ni Kristo? Aminin...

On the other hand, natatakot siguro si father na baka maimpluwensyihan siya ng mga pro-RH bill kaya ang sabi niya: O tukso, layuan mo ako?

O puwede ring sabihin na nakukunsensiya si father sa stand ng Simbahan kaya dahil sa guilt feeling pinaalis niya ang mga pro-RH bill.

Lastly, baka tunay na makasalanan si father at tingin niya sa mga pro-RH bill ay mga banal at nakakaintindi kaya pinaalis niya ang mga ito dahil insecure at guilty siya. Kaya nga sabi niya "Kung meron nakikimisa dito pero pro-RH bill… Please, go out. It's useless."

Useless nga, father, dahil ikaw ata ay isa sa mga tinutukoy ni Kristo sa isa sa kanyang seven last words which Tikboy quotes: Ama, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa.
