Bagong Polymer Na Dalawampung Piso?

Leave a comment

Nagulantang ang bayan nang ilunsad ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ang bagong polymer peso bills, kung saan pinalitan ang mga bayani’t presidente ng mga hayop. Aba, parang sinabi na rin nilang mas bagay ang pera sa wildlife kaysa sa legacy ng tao! Pero bago pa maghimutok nang husto ang sambayanan, kumalat ang balita tungkol sa umano’y bagong P20 bill: may imahe raw ng isang orange na pusit, na tila sumasalamin kay Vice President Sara Duterte.

Biglang nanahimik ang mga kritiko. “Wow, finally, representation!” sigaw ng ilan. Ang iba naman, tumatawa sa irony—literal na may squid sa pera habang ang ekonomiya ay parang underwater na rin.

Ang masaya, mukhang mas tanggap ng publiko ang pusit kaysa polymer bills. Siguro kasi mas relatable ang pusit: versatile, colorful, at mahusay umiwas sa responsibilidad—este, sa predator. Sa huli, sabi nga nila, all’s well that ends squid… este, well!

Philippine Bishop: The West Philippine Sea Is “Not Ours!”

Leave a comment

In a baffling display of maritime evangelism, two Pangasinan bishops set sail across the contentious waters of the South China Sea, or as we patriotically call it, the West Philippine Sea.

With rosaries in hand and contradictions in their hearts, they petitioned divine intervention for Filipino fishermen’s livelihoods, only to pray for China’s conversion to Catholicism in the same breath.

And just when you thought their mission couldn’t be more muddled, Archbishop Socrates Villegas declared, “the sea is not ours.” Ah, the clarity of divine guidance! Perhaps the bishops’ vessel was equipped with a spiritual compass that only points to confusion.

Instead of navigating geopolitical waters, maybe it’s best they steer their efforts back to dry land, focusing on the spiritual needs of their flock. After all, when it comes to mixed messages, the Church seems to have perfected the art.
