@ALEXG00NCAYAO Isa yan sa stories ng raid ng INC central during the early hours ng implementation ng ML during Marcos Sr, not Cory. Hindi nagtagumpay ang government na makuha ang cache of arms ng INC at may stories about namatay during the attempted raid.

@ohlistic And singing for and infront of Cardinal Sin.

Ang isang untold origins ng child abuse and prostitution incidents sa Pagsanjan ay ang connection ng ilang members ng film crew ng Hollywood production na dumayo dito. AFAIK, kinakabit ng locals ang growth nito ng ginawang set location for foreign films during Martial Law.

May video pa nga from Probe kung saan may mga nanay at pamilya ng victims na sumugod sa BI to defend these PDFiles. May cases rin na pumayag sila na ikasal ang older sisters sa kanila as cover sa abuse ng minors.

[Souichiro Dempsey 🌸🍃 @chiro_dempsey47]

Sadly, may long history ang Pinas in tolerating PDFiles. Sobrang nakakagalit ung Case Unclosed ep abt the normalized child prostitution sa Pagsanjan in the 80s. We have mala Epstein File (Andrew Harvey) pero nadeport lang sila at hindi nakulong sa Pinas dahil sa butas sa batas.

@ohlistic Not really. Common practice yan, besides announcement lang naman yan. Baka accepted na yan weeks ago.

I think I'm doing pretty good.

“Not so easy dealing with the mess left by a really shitty ex-president, IS IT Bongbong?”

Sabi ni Ronald Llamas, balak ni PNoy na ilagay si Etta Rosales as chairng GRP panel para sa peace talks sa CPP-NPA-NDF. Upon hearing this, jokingly sinabi ni Llamas na, “Ilalagay mo si Etta na kausap si Joma, eh di mas lalong hindi magkakaroon ng peace.”

Ito yata ang reason:

Dagdag pa niya, malaman nila later on na nilagay daw ni Michael Jackson ang metal horse na iyon sa isang pedestal sa Neverland Ranch.

[M. Magtibay @MLMagtibay]

May story si Eddie Ilarde (isa sa host ng Student Canteen): noong nililibot si Micheal Jackson sa streets ng Manila, may nakita siya na Sarao Jeep at gusto niya makuha ang metal horse decoration sa hood nito. They paid the driver a lot dahil gusto ni MJ yun.

[elle⁷ ᴹ♚ᴶ is Ryland Grace’s patchwork blanket @helloagustmoon]

here’s some Michael Jackson/Jackson 5 pics from a lost 1976 Filipino TV Show called ‘Student Canteen’ that i found on Facebook 😭

according to the post no video of this show exists, only these photos are left of its existence

In 2003, Pope John Paul II sent Cardinal Pio Laghi to Washington to dissuade the Bush administration from invading Iraq. Laghi predicted the consequences with uncanny accuracy. But the Bushies lectured him on their erroneous interpretation of just war theory. History repeats.

[Lala Rimando @lalarimando]

About that Lopez vs Lopez cousins' war...

If you’re confused, and asking why you should care, you’re not alone.

This isn’t just a rich‑family drama. It’s about what happens when a big Filipino clan runs media and power companies, loses ABS‑CBN, makes billion‑peso power deals – and never finishes its family constitution.

I’ve written six long pieces to explain how we got here. Here’s the plain‑language version and why it matters to you.

@sciencedsikdud @ensaymeowda Paano naman, he reposted it sa Facebook page niya with additional commentary pagkatapos hindi niya pinapansin ang rebuttal ni Walden sa mismong post niya.

[Nick Freiling @NickFreiling]

A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:

"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.

Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."

But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.

Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."

@chowmowan Magkamukha naman daw ang actors nung OG saka ng sequel haha

Two legacies that Apocalypse Now left in two film set location on in the Philippines:

1. Introduction and popularization of surfing in one town near the Pacific Ocean.

2. Increase (some would say introduction) of ch*ld prostitution in the other town.

[1976 Live @50YearsAgoLive]

In the Philippines, filming commences for Francis Ford Coppola’s new epic film, “Apocalypse Now.”

The film is scheduled to release on April 7, 1977.

@22three7eleven @DeusXMachina14 If this was done for a inter-religious dialogue program, pwede pa. Kaso hindi,event dapat yan for catholics to understand RC's magisterium.

At saka may right ang lahat ng catholic, regardless kung part sila ng parish na iyan, fo call out evangelical and liturgical errors
