Comic Relief for the 2010 Philippine Presidential Election

By Tom Seyer

Senior Correspondent, Coconut News Network (CNN Kuno, as coined originally by Romeo P. Marquez)

It seems that all Filipino presidential candidates are running after the so-called “Catholic vote.” But please read Bobby Reyes’ article, Is There a “Catholic Vote” in the Philippines? and perhaps you may agree with the author that it is an exercise in futility because almost all of the presidential candidates are Catholic.

The “Biblical Battle” for the 2010 Philippine presidency started in the Vatican when President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo told the Pope that “God told her to run in the 2004 presidential election.”

Bro. Eddie Villanueva, who was one of Mrs. Arroyo’s opponents in the 2004 presidential campaign, said allegedly that God denied to him that the Almighty ever talked to Mrs. Arroyo. Brother Eddie was overheard saying that he talks to God almost daily and he was assured that Mrs. Arroyo was not one of the Almighty’s phone pals.

However, supporters of Ang Kapatiran Party’s presidential candidate, JC de los Reyes, say that their man is actually the candidate of many Catholic bishops and priests. They claim that the name “JC de los Reyes” means “Jesus Christ of the Kings.”

But former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada allegedly said that he is the only candidate who really follows the Bible. He was said to have reasoned out that after all he observes to the limit God’s command to “go forth and multiply,” as found in Genesis 1:28.

Then former President Erap said that he has made peace with the Catholic bishops as found in these articles:

Détente between Erap and the CBCP (Part I of “Erap and the Bishops”)

Part II of Erap and the Bishops

Erap and the Bishops (Part III)

The supporters of Sen. Noynoy Aquino say that many Catholic voters will vote for their candidate, as he is the son of the yet-to-be-canonized third Filipino saint, former President Cory Cojuangco-Aquino.

However, supporters of presidential front runner Manuel Villar claim that actually Senator Villar was originally baptized as Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” The Villar supporters also say that ancient Hebrew text regarded the name “Emmanuel” as a pledge of Divine assistance and, therefore, God will not abandon Mr. Villar on election day.

Then the pro-Villar campaigners say that as alphabetically listed, Senator Villar is last in the list. But as found in the Gospel (Matthew 20:16), Jesus declares that in the world to come, “The last shall be first and the first last.” Ergo, Manny Villar wins, if voters will follow the Bible.

Letters of Paul

In the meantime, Paul Villar is being urged by members of the Media Breakfast Club (MBC) to start writing campaign letters. Paul is the Southern California-based nephew of Senator Villar and who was assigned to be the liaison man of the Villar Campaign to the MBC members.

The MBC members suggest that the campaign letters carry these titles:

Letter of Paul to the Corynthians (the supporters of former President Cory Cojuangco-Aquino),

Letter of Paul to the Pilipians (these are the Corynthians who eat a lot of pili nuts),

Letter of Paul to the Gibotians (the followers of presidential candidate Gibo Cojuangco-Teodoro, Jr.), and

Letter of Paul to Galasians (Galas is a district in Quezon City).

Bishops wary of alleged Arroyo-Villar alliance

Senior Catholic leaders on Sunday voiced concern over rumors that Nacionalista Party standard bearer Senator Manuel Villar Jr. is President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s secret candidate in the May 10 elections.

“If it were true, it could be a sinister plot to ensure [President Arroyo’s] perpetuity in power. So it is an evil deal,” Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes told Catholic Radio Veritas.

“Maraming mahiwaga sa politics natin (Filipino politics has many mysteries), which shows what kind of officials we have and why we are like this,” added Caloocon Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez.

“As I envisioned a month ago, [Mrs. Arroyo] is scared of lawsuits. She wants to stay in power. Let us pray for her,” said Koronadal City Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez.

Last week, Liberal Party standard bearer Senator Benigno Aquino III alleged that Mrs. Arroyo and Villar — his fiercest rival in the presidential race — had entered into an “unholy alliance” to ensure the latter’s victory in the upcoming polls.

Aquino said the Palace could not restrain itself from thanking Villar for keeping quiet on issues confronting the administration.

Villar has allegedly agreed to help Mrs. Arroyo, who is running for representative in the second district of Pampanga, become House Speaker and protect her from suits once he becomes President.

Villar’s camp has denied Aquino’s accusations. NP spokesman and senatorial bet Gilbert Remulla said an alliance with Mrs. Arroyo would be a “kiss of death.” Malacañang also belittled the allegations

But other Catholic bishops said the public should not be easily deceived by such claims and should try to become educated voters instead.

“Let the people discern and pass judgment,” said Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.

“Know your candidates on three issues — track record, capability to govern and integrity,” Cotabato auxiliary Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo said.

May You Be Blessed

May you be blessed with all things good.
May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count.
May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand
on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world.
May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger
and may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companions.
May every pathway you choose lead to
that which is pure and good and lovely.
May every doubt and fear be replaced by a deep abiding trust
as you behold evidence of a Higher Power all around you.
And when there is only darkness and the storms of life are closing in…
May the light at the core of your being illuminate the world.
May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure
and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return.
May you always feel protected and cradled in the arms of God,
like the cherished child you are.
And when you are tempted to judge,
may you be reminded that we are all one
and that every thought you think reverberates across the universe,
touching everyone and everything.
And when you are tempted to hold back,
may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely…
and it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift.
May you always have music and laughter
and may a rainbow follow every storm.
May gladness wash away every disappointment,
may joy dissolve every sorrow…and may love ease every pain.
May every wound bring wisdom and every trial bring triumph
and with each passing day may you live more abundantly
than the day before.
May you be blessed.
And may others be blessed by you.
This is my heartfelt wish for you.
May you be blessed.
