Jay-R finished Psychology while Chao-Hua is still studying for her Business English course (major she calls it). The chinese girl intrigued me. It is difficult to converse with her [...]

A visit to Fr. Victor Badillo S.J.: RAM, Facebook, and the cyst surgery
Yesterday I visited Fr. Badillo in the Jesuit Residence. He stays at the infirmary there. The porter already knows my name and the nurses’ faces are becoming familiar. I usually visit him every Thursday, between 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. I don’t know if there is a significance to this. But Thursday is the day for [...]

MRT Purple Line littered with large pictures of Angelica Panganiban in bra
The MRT Purple is getting terrible. Not the trains; they are excellent. Rather, the stations are becoming stiffling for the soul. They promote promiscuity. In the Araneta Center Cubao station where I go in the morning, there is a stand for the TRUST condoms. When I got off the Katipunan station, all the hallway [...]

Ateneo de Manila’s ROTC cadets pray the rosary during World War II
When the Pacific War began, President Quezon disbanded all the ROTC units in Manila. The Ateneo ROTC cadets disobeyed the order and volunteered to fight as one unit in Bataan. At sundown they came together to pray the Rosary, which initially earned them snickers from the”hardened” soldiers. In time they won respect for their behavior.

I. God’s Chosen Doormat
I read an article in the Manila Standard Today (3 Nov 2009) written by Antonio C. Abaya entitled “God’s Chosen Doormat” (This is also available in his blog):

Conversation of Archbishop Lefebre and Bishop Marchioni in 1976: Separation of Church and State and the Social Kingship of Christ
At the risk of repeating myself, I come back to the social kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that dogma of the Catholic faith, which no one can put in doubt without being a heretic: yes, exactly: a heretic!
Do They Still Have the Faith?
Make a judgment then on the dying faith of the Apostolic Nuncio [...]
