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.

What’s In A Military Uniform?

Leave a comment

What’s in a military uniform, you ask?

In the age of honorary titles and political theatrics, quite a lot, apparently. Take First Lady Liza Marcos, recently designated as an honorary Auxiliary Vice Admiral with the Philippine Coast Guard. “Honorary” is the operative word here—an accolade that stirs the pot of public opinion.

Critics rage that real service members earn their uniforms through blood, sweat, and sacrifice, while others wear them with less noble intentions, betraying their oaths.

Then there are those who join the reserves, either through rigorous training or, let’s be honest, a few well-placed political connections. And who can forget the actors donning military garb for the sake of entertainment?

In the end, a uniform is merely fabric and stitching. What truly matters is the person behind it—their loyalty, conviction, and the integrity they bring to the role, honorary or otherwise. But hey, let’s not let that spoil a good show.
