The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines recently
criticized the content of GMA’s new teleserye ‘My Husband’s Lover’, which tackles man-to-man relationship.
The reaction came as a surprise to no one since the
religious group has been known to be a staunch opposition of anything related
to homosexuality- except of course those that involve priests and altar boys.
The spokesperson of CBCP cautioned the television network to
be sensitive of the viewer’s morals and urged them to craft shows that are within the
boundaries of morality.
Short of saying ‘just please continue with teleseryes that
are filled with rape, kidnappings, adultery and murders from start to finish.’

Meanwhile, the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino made headlines
with their proposal to do away with 'Philippines' and 'Pilipinas' and instead use 'Filipinas' as our country’s official name.
They argue that the continued use of ‘Philippines’ reeks of
colonial mentality, as if it’s any different when ‘Filipinas’ is used.
The group justified the proposal by saying that doing so
would unify our country. If that is the case, then our country should have been
named Manny Pacquiao.

A Filipina is bound to be executed in China after being
identified as a drug mule. If only her last name was Singson not only would she
escape death sentence, she would also be re-elected as congressman!
Full Tank Nyo Na!
Deposed President and convicted plunderer Joseph Estrada
(now Mayor of Manila) was quoted saying that he was jailed because of his
principles!
Now that stealing is a principle, we are indeed lucky to be have very principled congressmen, mayors and governors!
According to news, Maynilad and Manila Water Company passed on 15 billion pesos worth of corporate taxes to its consumers including income tax of
its executives!
I shouldn’t have dreamt of being a lawyer or a teacher or a
doctor or a pilot when I was a kid. I should have aspired to become an MWSS
executive.
This revelation is expected to hurt the sensitivities of the Catholic Church which has been known for the longest time as an institution that is insulated from paying taxes.
Only in Filipinas!
