The State and Religion

           For some time already the ongoing opposition of the Roman Catholic church in the Philippines has stirred much public opinion about the Reproductive Health Bill. The conflict was even more aggravated with Carlos Celdran's "Damaso" drama and a hint of "excommunication" and "civil disobedience" from the church in case the RH Bill is pushed through.

          That's no the issue. The issue here is about the church meddling with the government.

          The separation of religion from the state has long been established. The failure of honoring this leads to the disruption of solidarity amongst us.

          The fact that our country is overpopulated must also be taken into account and that all possible solutions must be considered.

Quotes for the Day

"Men naturally possess the heart of a superhero 
so when a guy does good, thoughtful, 
and heroic deed for you, 
don't think that he likes you. 
They just function according to their nature."



Tears speak of what you lips cannot.


"The moment you start thinking about giving up
think of the best reasons why 
you've been holding on for so long."



Life is full of sacrifices.


"Two of the hardest tests in life:
The patience to wait for the right moment
and the courage to accept that you've waited for nothing"
