I am a day and a half away from leaving off again to somewhere. Ive been telling my friends its somewhere in the middle of the Philippines so I must tell you the same simply to avoid the jealousy (haha) . Before I ever go leave again, I thought of posting another entry. I might be off for a little while (about a week... Il be back on Sunday 11/04/07) so better yet leave a little issue on you people.
When would the Government argue with morality and the Religion on Ethics? I must answer the question with a simple word as "NEVER". However, it appears that my country is an exception. Well, for those who might not know, My home land is a 3rd world country somewhere in the south east of asia. It is an archipelagic country artfully tagged as "The Pearl of the Orient Seas." We have been devastated by political turmoil for as long as I can remember and I believe these very thing caused us this inappropriate disturbances.
I don't like discussing things political in nature but I cannot simply disregard these happenings that I have heard over the media about the reactions regarding the presidential clemency given to the past president (the president befor the present one..) of our country, guilty of Plunder. What was the thing that bothered me the most? Over the radio, a bishop, which we better hide the name for civility sake, says "Sana pagisipan na lang nila bago sila magbigay ng pardon.." ( I hope they think things up before simply giving pardon...)

He, the bishop, is actually on the side of not letting the 70+ old president off. I must say that I myself wouldn't want that old rag to be walking on the street again. However, where have gone the "let's forgive everybody eventhough they've done wrong " value of the church? How about the " Even God forgives why can't you" principle? It is simply problematic that people could be too tactful to go against their own art, especially those that are known for not just doing the art but being the art. Couldn't he at least say " what ever happens is God's will, lets not go against it..." ?
The CBCP forever has been peeking into government issues. I simply don't know with them, but weren't their a dichotomy over the two main sectors of the country? What are they interfering for? I simply think such matters of discourse is not a part of their holy-ness and there ultimate wisdom of the bible. This misevalutation of the dichotomy has made a big problem for the country. The bishops stand on their ground saying they are good so listen to them (We are the Word of God.. ??? what damn blasphemers...) but they, driving into the state's war, have devalued their good nature. Like the statesman, theyv'e all gone to be the same ravishing beast of power, hoping to be the one believed by the mass. Shameless are they for they have forgotten the word of God... ( can I be a bishop now? I'm better than them... not a good joke... I'L NEVER BE A BISHOP!!)
