The point of Halloween in the western world is to use “humor and ridicule to confront the power of death” – hence the ghoulish pranks and antics. The point of All Souls Day and All Saints Day in the Catholic calendar is deadly serious; these are the days when we recall and venerate our dead and all the saints together.

In the spirit of these feasts and in the interest of fair and balanced journalism, I feel obligated to report, following my column last Thursday (“Trillanes impales himself,” October30), that Sen. Antonio Trillanes is not alone in falling on his words or his sword.
