Democracy is a mockery under the present administration and the worst graft and corruption in history continues, the country sinks deeper in debt while everyone especially the small hard working middle class and the vast majority of poor people do not have jobs, starve and die due to unaffordable medical care.
The Catholic Church has been silent too long and hesitant to get involved in the so-called affairs of the government. Separation of church and state is a non-issue. Vis-à-vis also means counterpart.
In the Old Testament, the Lord chose to give the Ten Commandments to Moses who became both the state and church leader and delivered the people out of slavery.
In the New Testament, Jesus himself showed just anger and drove the tax collectors out of the temple of the Lord.
In modern times, the late Pope John Paul II told his countrymen “Be not afraid” to get rid of their own Polish Communist leaders in the government and they succeeded.
In Pampanga, AmongEd Panlilio did not ask to become governor. He answered the call of the Lord so that ang mga Kappampangan do not have to chose between the lesser of two evils. His archbishop gave his blessing and allowed him to run and the people put him in power. There should be no reason now not to support him to continue in politics so he can act in creating a “just society” to benefit all Pinoys.
Yes, time to re-empower the people and elect honest qualified candidates. There are good men and women as evidenced by Kaya Natin candidates.
We must act, each and everyone, the executives in companies, the employees, students of all ages, the farmers, the fishermen, the vendors, the tri-cycle drives, ang mga mahirap, the overseas foreign workers, expatriates, catholics and non-catholics. Each one of us has to do his part and we will win. Hwag matakot, kaya natin!
