There will be many flagellants during this Holy Week. How I wish some high Malacañang officials would be among them. Should this be so, I sure would want to be among the first to give them a good whipping. My strength is ebbing with age but the very thought of giving them a sound lashing is giving me added vigor and power.

Hey, am I being un-Christian with my thoughts? We are so Christian that we don’t allow beheading and cutting the hands of corrupt persons. A Christian is supposed to turn the other cheek when he is slapped but I guess I’m not that Christian enough to do so. Of course, some would say that giving some executive officials a good lashing during the Holy Week is not un-Christian but partakes of Divine Justice. This is more Christian than the unconcerned words to a complaining flood victim: “Buhay pa kayo, di ba?”
