Dear CBCP, Yesterday, your Pope prayed "for the people without homes and for the many missing," assuring the victims of his "closeness"...

The role of a newspaper, aside from providing information, is to educate the population.

They wish to defile and twist the spirit of a law that has good intentions, the preservation of history, into a monster straight out of the dark ages: a blasphemy law thinly veiled to disguise its horrific effects on the freedom of expression.

While satire reveals truths about its target, straw man arguments say less about the target and more about its author. Are the anti-RH so helpless in the face of the real pro-RH position that they're left grasping at straws?
