WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE? - Homily by Fr. Dave Concepcion on April 6, 2025

The Irony of Hariruki's Sarcasm

Notice the exchange of rhetoric between Richard Heydarian and Harry Roque?

Ironically, Harry Roque kept on repeating himself like a broken record. The gory sights and sounds of the previous administration are ear-splitting to murder victims, their families, and innocent bystanders, and one wonders what kind of a person Hariruki is when he is continuously spawning narratives that add more salt to injuries.

Good for him. Whatever MISFORTUNE the rest of humanity experienced 5 years ago ... it was all SPICE and ALL THINGS NICE in his end. It was a never-ending MANNA FROM HEAVEN to the then spokesperson. 

Does that include (the madlang people ask) the attractive and the tempting POGO gratuities and subsidies (others called it POGO bounties and freebies)?

With the reversal of events after the DU30 term ... was that the reason why he sneaked out of the country unnoticed ... without a trace...  at nagtatago siya sa kanyang self-made na mga multo? Were his past POGO skeletons haunting him in his sleep ... and in the Netherlands, making his asylum application a daunting challenge?

Ang hindi ko maiintiyendihan sa kanya ... kung nagtatago siya ... bakit hindi na lang totohanin ang kanyang larong hide and seek? Magtago ngayon ... pagkatapos bukas lilitaw ulit dahil may nabasa siyang mga updates sa youtube at sa mga balita na hindi niya basta mapabayaan.  The temptation to answer back intrigues and issues is physically embedded and was programmed in his system ... nagkakasakit siya kung hindi siya makasagot. 

The threat na hulihin siya ng Interpol is real ... bakit lagi na lang binubulaga niya ang mga tao sa kanyang mga unsolicited comments (like the image above) at ang tapang tapang niya sumagot sa mga issue katulad ng kay Anson Que (na wala namang kumukuha sa opinion niya). He is there all over the place pontificating, eulogizing and moralizing the virtues of DU30 term? Para siyang nananadya na parang batang naglalaro ng "catch me if you can!"

In psychology ... one can deduce ... he looked like he is there WASHING HIS HANDS (napasama na nga sa mga masamang gawain kinukumbinsi pa niya ang mga tao na tama ang mga ginagawa nila. And it was not only the people he was trying to reassure... sa bawat sermon niya ... he was trying his best to convince himself. Kung ano man yon ... siya lang ang naka-alam.

Washing one's hands symbolize various things, including purification, repentance, and shedding responsibility. It signifies his desire to be clean and be free from impurities (both literal and symbolic.)

The act of washing hands can be a visual representation of one seeking forgiveness and wanting a fresh start. In some contexts, washing hands also symbolizes a desire to be free of guilt or a way to physically express a feeling of being cleaned from something.

We remember the classic example of an idiom, "washing one's hands of". That originated from the biblical story of Pontius Pilate, who washed his hands to express his innocence in Jesus' crucifixion. This idiom signifies Pilate's refusal to accept responsibility or involvement in a sticky situation.

Ngayong Holy Week ... was this Hariruki "act of contrition"?  It might be his way of spiritual cleansing and renewal. Or lumalala lang talaga ang kanyang fast decaying moral values and twisted sense of right and wrong?

Mabuti na lang nandiyan si Richard Heydarian trying to maneuver his narratives (some almost bordering on sedition). Plus his warped beliefs ... distorerted and fundamentally flawed.

Be Vigilant

I have nothing against Camille Villar, but these images circulate on social media platforms.

Her parents have been successful in the real estate business, and the image suggests that she will definitely continue what they started.

There are no real residential houses erected near the periphery of Mayon (shades of the Chocolate Hills controversy in the past. I can't stress enough the safety concerns (hazards or potential risks that can harm people, property, or the environment if the image is true).

One thing is sure ... with the business the Villars are known for ... it is unfair to connect the children with their parents business.

Let us not punish the children for the sins (if any) of their parents. Keep our minds open, but be very vigilant and observant.

The fiasco that was Chocolate Hills happened, and people wish it did not. It happened because people fail to appreciate the significance of our natural and heritage sites.

Definitely, it is not the sight for sore eyes. It can be compared to Torre de Manila, which managed to get the ire of the people.

Political Irony

CCTO

Sarcastic ang pagkasabi ni Senator Imee Marcos questioning the validity of the arrest of then President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Sinabi niya ng walang kakurap-kurap" Is the Philippines now a province of the Hague Netherlands?

It is ironic na halos araw-araw na ang mga pagbalita ng harassment ng mga Chinese vessels sa West Philippine Sea ... pero tikom ang bibig ng senadora (isa siya sa maraming elected officials) who had their mouth zipped at ni isang iota man lang ng patriotismo ay hindi mo maaninag. Di ba dapt tumayo man lang sila and ask: "Is Philippines now a province of China?

Di ba kung vocal siya ngayon sa mga hinaing ng dating presidente ... we expect na ganoon din siya ka-vocal sa mga hinaing ng mga Filipino, ng sandatahang lakas at ng mga mangingisda who depend their life fishing in the outskirts of Zambales ang Pangasinan.

Buong ningning din niyang kinu-question ng walang pakundangan: Isinuko na ba natin ang soberanya sa mga dayuhan by allowing them to take the president?

Here's the question of the madlang people Madam Senator: "Sa pananahimik mo ... isinuko mo na ba ang soberanya sa mga Intsik at hindi man lang naantig ang damdamin mo sa pang-araw-araw na KARAHASAN at KARANASAN ng mga Filipino maitaguyod lang ag kanilang misyon sa Ayoming Shoal?

Another question Madam: it looked like pang isahang tao lang yata ang kinakampihan mo. Wala ka bang concern sa maraming Filipino na umasa na magsalita ka man lang in their defense? Para que pa at umasa kang iboto ka nila ... eh nasaan ka noong kailangan ka nila?

Sino ba ang amo mo ... si Digong ba ... or the voting public? Nagtatanong lang po.

Pobre Daw O

Digong joked: "Pobre daw siya."

Nagreact ang mga netizens at nagjoke din: Namumulubi siya dahil maluho si Kitty.

Kung si Madam gusto maging walking Marikina by collecting shoes ... si Kitty naman is into bag collection.

Digong's Angels: A New Definition

 

I saw this image today, and somebody has coined a new name for the former president's disciples —the Dedeez. They called them Dutertards, the root words being the surname Duterte and bastards.

It simply means... Duterte's scoundrels and rogues. Now, somebody has defined them again for the nth time, and we are always amazed at how it has evolved.

Getting explicit ... colorful and punchy as ever.
