I am sad in the recent dispute between Pacquiao and LGBT particularly Vice Ganda. I'm a fan of Pacquiao for bringing a name to the country but as a politician well I bet you know where I stand. As for Vice Ganda, in spite of her below the belt jokes I can call myself a real fan of this comedian as well. Nevertheless tonight as I browse my twitter feed, I cannot contained any longer to react on this fiasco. First, I felt bad for Pacquiao. I know he just answered a question and it just turn out that he really is against same sex marriage given that he is a Christian. Also given that he is not that literate we can assure he didn't mean that well whatever how bluntly he told a fact. Yes it is a fact. But one thing he forgotten is that he should have iterated that 'in his opinion as a Christian'. Why? because simply not all are Christians though it caused me to be sad for the negative reactions are now coming from Catholic and Christians alike. I think it is also foul to ask by Vice Ganda if everybody is following the bible. My goodness! what kind of example are you trying to portray? I know you are gay and have numerous relationship with men but please be remorseful. Don't parade your sinfulness as if nothing is wrong and it is widely accepted. Yes that is the problem. The public has been complacent. That is why I am even more disappointed with the Filipinos in general. In my previous blog I already told how I admire mostly locals here for their reverence for the mass. The Filipinos especially the youth are having values as if they are not believers.. Yes we are not all Catholics, nor Christians. But for goodness sake, know your bible and don't argue that because we are human that we tend to commit mistake. We are all called to be saints. Pacquaio already apologize and what Vice Ganda should also do is to apologize that he too is just human, though sinful but please don't judge him and compare him to an animal. End of story. We must always remember that we are called to be like Jesus. And Jesus is a friend of sinners.
