September 30, 2010 at—argh! Forgot the time, Carlos Celdran, a tourist-guide (or so they said) and full-hearted Filipino and a supporter of RH bill—‘use condoms, for goodness sake’, to you—appeared at the Manila Cathedral wearing—yup, the national hero’s iconic clothes; a bowler hat and a 2000-peso black tuxedo. When I saw him like that I said to myself “Did they change the date of Rizal day? Wow, and I thought PGMA was crazy switching dates.” Ten seconds later he answered my question, resulting my coffee bursting out from my mouth and landed on my laptop. Contemplating where I could find a technician at this time of the hour, the words “Stop getting involved in politics!” ringed through my ear and the placard scribbled DAMASO burned in front of my eyes as Celdran mandating himself in front of the cardinals and bishops like a girl on a boxing ring. I am an agnostic but this is ridiculous, and the only words that come out from mouth was “Whattafuck!” that earned me a loud shush from my daughter.
Freedom indeed, but sometimes we have to consider some things before we act. I know desperate times come in desperate measures. However, ika nga ni Erwin Tulfo “kung sa Mosque mo ginawa yan, malamang wala ka ng ulo!”
Regarding our government, Separation of Church and States was considered the most ‘common’ phrase we ever heard of. I mean, duh? Since when ever that happens? And what pisses me off was our own President Noynoy was warned to be exiled from the Catholic Church, and all because of the RH bill. Ano yun?! Concern ka lang naman sa population, di ba? I’m not against religion and I’m not against the reproduction either. Dicipline, discipline was all we need, mahirap bang intindihin na halos wala ka ng malamon eh anak ka pa ng anak! Ayan tuloy, meron isang Celdran na nakakulong sa Maynila.
