And our pride. We are hurting. We have our heads in the washbasin seeking to soap off the shame, rid ourselves of the stink. Those who refuse to get hurt or insulted would just seek to deflect the PERC branding iron. They say this is old hat, so what else is new. These are the somnambulists.

                    [Summary] => Hardly had this writer left the belltower in high praise of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for her decision to withdraw the Philippine contingent from Iraq than when she sprawled and had mud all over her face. I don’t understand. She didn’t have to do that.  And not this clumsily. But when Malacañang  announced a few days ago  she and Brother Eddie Villanueva had agreed to organize a government of "national unity", that was a damned dirty lie.

                    [Summary] => On this, the 30th day after the May 10 presidential elections, we are a nation walking on eggshells. Who will be proclaimed President on June 30? Malacañang and the majority in Congress assure us it will be the incumbent Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Not to be outdone, the opposition KNP is readying the Luneta or Makati for the presidential proclamation of Da King Fernando Poe Jr. Just in case, everything goes pfffft, not to worry. Senate President Franklin Drilon will take possession of the presidential seal and, in trumpet bold, march into Malacañang.

The second is the sound of prayer groping for redemption and God’s providence. They are antithetical, the clash of opposites. The first is ready to draw and spill blood if the situation requires. The second seeks the balm of peace and national tranquility. And yet they are two peas in a pod. For they arise at a time of great crisis when the nation fears the morrow.
