Most Filipinos link Kingdom of Jesus Christ Pastor Apollo Quiboloy to Rodrigo Duterte whom he has recently appointed as administrator.
However, the appointed “son of God” has been identified with other earthly politicians, among them Gibo Teodoro, the late PNoy, and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
We wonder if any Bongbong Marcos connection would surface soon.
In a groundbreaking move, the Philippine Congress has dared to legalize divorce, much to the chagrin of the ever-vigilant Catholic Bishops Conference and supposedly devout Catholics.
For decades, the Philippines has proudly stood as the lone bastion against divorce, holding fast to the idea that marriages should be indissoluble, regardless of whether the couple can even stand each other.
Meanwhile, Filipinos have turned celebrity breakups into a national pastime, eagerly following every scandalous detail without the inconvenience of a legal marriage.
It’s a wonder the CBCP hasn’t realized: nothing screams devout commitment quite like a populace obsessed with the romantic entanglements of their favorite stars.
As for those ardent Catholics protesting the bill, perhaps they should take comfort in the idea that not every union is made in heaven—some are quite literally a match made in hell.
So, cheers to Congress for modernizing the law and acknowledging that not all love stories have a happily ever after ending.
In a twist of divine irony, the City of Dumaguete finds itself caught between a Maiusug, Prayer Rally and a rain dance, with the Archdiocese of Cebu’s call for the Oratio Imperata, a prayer-call for rain causing quite the conundrum. The Church usually issues such a call during times of impending or actual calamities.
As temperatures soar, and the heatwave tightens its grip, the faithful are torn between praying for relief and praying for clear skies on May 7th.
Organizers of the Maiusug Prayer Rally are sweating bullets, hoping for a rainless day to keep the event dry and the attendance high.
Meanwhile, some Duterte supporters, including Atty. Glenn Chong, are secretly crossing their fingers for a downpour, dreaming of claiming that the First Lady ordered cloud seeding to disrupt the rally.
It’s a classic case of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” as Dumaguete navigates the whims of weather and politics, all while trying to stay dry in the storm of conflicting interests.
