Peculiar.
Intriguing.
You
know what, I’ve heard something about the mystery of the vanishing street
children in Manila and it made me strangely startled. The enigmatic purge of
the unfortunate buds for Pope Francis’ recent visit here in the Philippines was
really puzzling.
To guarantee
a squeaky-clean and presentable Manila for the Pope’s pious sojourn, street
children were scrubbed out immediately, as media chronicles. Father Shay
Cullen, the Nobel Prize-nominated founder of the Preda Foundation says that
these poor sprouts were thrown in jail. “They’re locked up in a dungeon,”
Cullen said, revealing that some 20,000 children experience the wrath of jail
cell annually across the country. With this, I have a dreadful question
grilling in my mind. Why did they put these innocent kids in with older persons?
I get goose-bumps every time I think about it. What soulless creature would do
that? Witches!
Pope
Francis is known for his undying mercy and compassion especially for the young
ones. Do you think this alarming issue would appease him? Why would the
Philippine Welfare Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman tolerate such act? This is
a swelling ignominy to our country! How would other countries digest this awful
predicament? I, myself gnashed my teeth after hearing it because as a disciple
of God and a full-blooded follower of the Roman Catholic Church, it is a
manifestation of cruelty and clearly unacceptable. Awesome! It’s really more
fun in the Philippines.
“Lots
of children have been brought here lately, says Paulo, an inmate. “We’re told
that they’re being picked up from under the road bridges where the pope will
travel.” This statement from him is a strong evidence of deception. If the Pope
Francis famously washed the feet of inmates in a youth detention centre in Rome
in 2013, there is no way the pope will want to visit our detention centers in
Manila. Why is our regime a master of hiding and dishonesty? We all know that
the pope loves and cares so much about the poor kids and he treats everyone
equally, whatever or whoever we are. Why be afraid of telling the whole truth?
Why lie and pretend?
Of
course, I don’t condone biases so let’s give the Welfare Secretary a chance to
speak up. Would you like to hear her side? Well, as usual, alibis will really
come out after a shameful issue. She needs to clean her hands too that’s why in
a report from ABS-CBN.com, she said that they don’t tolerate that practice and
they only put child abusers in jail. “We are not hiding the children. In fact,
more than 400 street children will be singing during the send-off for Pope
Francis on Monday. They have been practicing since December. The Pope will see
and interact with them,” she added. What a big storyteller!
As
what our hospitality should be, if we have guests, it is usual for us to
impress them just like cooking delightful foods to satisfy their starving
tummies, and be cordial, but locking up away famished street children does not
make sense because it is so not the track of the Pope for the Poor! He won’t
discriminate! I completely have this aversion about this shameful controversy
and I strongly believe that the Almighty Creator has too.
Alas,
even the president will wear the most deluxe and perfect Barong Tagalog. It
won’t make him delightful! He’s a snail. I don’t know what’s his reaction regarding
this disreputable topic. Shame on you P-Noy and on your pack of fraudulent
subordinates! It is now impossible for the sacred church and our filthy government
to marry! It’s really impossible.
