Truth for Easter

I used to think GMA utilized government funds to go golfing or scuba diving on a weekend. Now, I wonder why I am not surprised that even the name of God and Easter can be used for her "advantage."

If GMA is like Mother Theresa or Cory Aquino who has been really religious then I could give in and appreciate the message. But from a president whose legitimacy is in question, whose integrity is beyond questionable, it just did not work.

How can you say stop corruption and seek truth when her administration and her trained dogs would do everything to protect the "image" of the president and the first gentleman? How can you preach when your government oppresses the same people that your government is "trying" to save?

GMA should be decent enough not to use religion to beef up her image. Afterall, she has proven to us she is "untouchable" for a number of times already. All she has to do now is go to confession and do soul searching. And if she listens to God's call and heed to advice, then she has to resign now or make sure that at 2010 it would be her time to go.

A decade with GMA is like penance. We are punished for our sins. We played democracy in EDSA DOS and we paid the price. Someday she will pay for her sins. That is the Easter truth I could believe and hold on to.
