THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER ON HOLY WEEK

The bigger issue our country is facing is the Yellow political class together with their faithful friend or devoted follower, the fidus archates, who assumed the obstructive role in the PRRD government. 

Every day, you often hear the newscasters of the 3 TV Channels look right into the camera and tell you a lie. They create an issue they know damn well it would lead to possible tampering, or them always going to twist it to put PRRD in a bad light. We know that the Yellows of Benigno ‘Pnoy’ Aquino are using money to pay the media to manipulate people’s thoughts. They’re doing this for the benefit of the elites as the media will squeeze the truth and use propaganda to destroy the PRRD government. 

What is regrettable is that the Yellows’ adamant and unbending in their refusal to accept the reality they are now rejected by the Filipino people, would seize upon a flimsy and insubstantial argument in the vain hope of imparting deceptive plausibility to the assertion of imaginary and non-existing facts unmindful whether it is fraught with pernicious consequences to the country and its citizens. 

But the Yellows acting revengeful even if they were very much aware what bedevils our country today were in fact of their own making. Their out of control obsession and rage can often take their own unexpected paths--to some detrimental effects and a harder fall down the track until the bubble bursts. 

The struggle with revenge is centuries old. From lovers running over a beloved iPhone or destroying what their ex most values, to businessmen damaging the careers of those who have rejected them, to students opening fire in school hallways, revenge can be an act of ANGER, HURT AND POWER. 

Sadly, the idea of the Yellows to make revenge as their duty against PRRD is an act of aggression that could reach to a boiling point, and the attack and counterattack can be blinding and destroy our own country and the lives of its citizens.

Clearly and truly, Love of country, the subordination of personal interests to the common good, concern and care for the helpless and the impoverished – are not the creed for existence anymore for the Yellows. 

The question at this moment on Holy Week is this: Does the obsession and revenge of the Yellows make them feel pleasurable, even if the consequences will create more problems and suffering to our beloved country and its citizens? To the Yellows, please ponder on this. 

As we continue our Lenten journey, as the last refuge of the deadbeat, may we look upon the cross of Christ with humbleness and awe, for we must honestly face our sin before we can receive the gift of salvation. Amen.
