‘puni’
MAGALANG, Pampanga – A scuffle
broke out between
Santa Cruz Barangay Chair Junnel G.
Malonzo and his erstwhile rival, businessman Trinidad “Toto”
Gonzales,
when
push came to shove
during an argument
over the putting up of
a “puni” (makeshift altar where Passion of
Christ is sung) in the
barangay.
As the Holy Week
drew near, Gonzales
said he was able to
obtain the permission
of Malonzo to put up
a “puni” on a private
lot in Barangay Santa
Cruz here.
Gonzales
said
Malonzo was even
thankful to him for
giving some 350 children in their barangay bed kits which
also included school

‘Kalbaryo’ common sight in Bataan anew
BY ERNIE ESCONDE
SAMAL, Bataan- “Kalbaryo” on Holy
Monday began to be visible again in
the province especially in the towns
of Orani, Samal and Abucay.
The “kalbaryo” or what people
tend to believe as replica of Mount
Calvary where the Lord Jesus was
crucified and died are of various designs and sizes. Big or small or whatever design it was crafted, the message is clear – that of the sacrifices
of Jesus and His Cross.
These are made of materials
common in the area like bamboos
and leaves of coconuts.
Chanting of the “Pasyon” began
to be heard night of Holy Monday.
The Pasyon was either done by a
group of persons or through canned
music. The reading by chanting of
the Pasyon will go on until before the
procession night of Good Friday.
On Holy Thursday, flagellants
called manggagapang will for some
minutes lie flat on their stomach
with both hands stretched on the hot
pavement in front of the kalbaryo.
On Good Friday, flagellants called
mandurugo will kneel for some minutes before the kalbaryo.
Both the manggagapang and
mandurugo seem to be praying and
asking for forgiveness or some favour to the Almighty before transferring to another kalbaryo along their
way to a river or artesian well where
they will bathe.
A manggagapang is one doing
penitence by crawling on hot pavement or sand where usually little
children following him whip him on
the body with banana stalks. A mandurugo on the other hand whips his
bloodied back, caused by broken
bottles or razor, with strips of bamboo.
Commonly, both are bare from
waist up with small ropes artistically tied around their long pants up to
their neck.
The common practice in the olden
times was to hide the face of the flagellant with cloth but as of the present, many flagellants prefer to expose their identity.
Flagellants in Bataan used to be
only manggagapang on Holy Thursday and mandurugo on Good Friday but time has changed. There are
mandurugo even on Thursday.
Another type of flagellant was
added – ones who carry on their
back standing wooden crosses a little over their height. These new flagellants participate on Holy Thursday
and Good Friday.

NINA DINO BALABO
AT ROMMEL RAMOS
MALOLOS CITY—Maagang
inagaw ng kamatayan ang
40-anyos na chief-of-staff ng
isang bokal sa Bulacan matapos masawi sa isang ambush
kahapon ng umaga.
Ang biktima ay nakilalang si
Edwin Inocencio y Miranda, 40,
residente ng Barangay San Sebastian sa Hagonoy, at chiefof-staff ni Senior Board Member Michael Fermin ng unang
distrito ng Bulacan.
Batay sa inisyal na imbestigasyon ng pulisya, patungo
ang biktima sa bahay ni Fermin
na matatagpuan sa NorthFields
Subdivision sa Barangay Lon-
gos ng lungsod na ito nang harangin ng dalawang suspek na
naka-motorsiklo bandang alas-8
ng umaga kahapon.
Kasunod nito ay ang sunod-sunod na putok mula .45 na
agad na ikinasawi ng biktima.
Ayon sa pulisya, nakasakay
sa kanyang van si Inocencio na
nasa kahabaan ng MacArthur
Highway papasok sa gate ng
subdivision nang siya ay tambangan.
Ilang saksi naman ang nagsabi sa pulisya na isa sa dalawang
suspek ang lumapit pa kay Inocencio matapos paputukan at
muling pinaputukan upang matiyak na patay ang biktima.
Kaugnay nito, ipinahayag
ni Bokal Fermin na pulitika ang
posibleng motibo ng pamamaslang. Inilahad pa niya na

nagsasabing, “ito na ang huling
araw mo.”
Si Inocencio ay nagsilbing
chief-of-staff ni Fermin mula
noong 2010.
Bilang senior board member, nagpaplano si Fermin na
kumandidato bilang kongresista ng unang distrito sa 2016.

SABADO DOLORES at McDonald’s Dolores junction, over pancakes and meatloaf
the esteemed writer Macky Pangan asked if I still practice fasting and abstinence
during the quaresma, most especially within the semana santa.
A sudden sense of déjà vu took hold of
me. I’ve been in that same situation before,
with the same Macky, other times called
Dan U. Pan, opening discussion on this
Catholic practice of self-mortification and
me segueing to other rites and rituals for the
Holy Week.
The past replayed in the present, indeed.
Or could be us rutted in some vicious cycle.

and find it exactly re-happening again this Holy

Punto! Central Luzon is a proud member of
The Philippine Press Institute
“ONLY THE SICK, the vain and the faddists still
fast during the Holy Week.”
So the preacher-poet of Que Sio, Que Tal
told me. And come to think of it, he is right.
Fasting, and abstinence too, are not the only
Holy Week practices that have gone to oblivion.
Less a mark of religiosity than a sign of
(old) age is that feeling of indignation at (mal)
practices of not a few of the faithful (?) during
these supposed to be the holiest of days of the
year.
The kids instantly scoff at every incantation
of “No, we did not do those when we were
younger” when – aghast! – in-your-face with
patently irreligious acts passed off as sublime
spirituality.
Maundy Thursday’s self-reflection induced
by the soft, angelic Cant Gregoria before the
Blessed Sacrament in a dark corner of the
village church is pierced by the flash and whirr
of digital cameras and myriad ringtones of
mobiles toted by the throngs doing their visita
iglesia rounds.
The object of their faith: not the body of
Christ exposed in the santissimo sacramento
but the monumento where the little golden
ciborium is mounted.
Last year, of the many paparazzi, I took
note of two Saudi-looking wives, read:
jaundice-gold ornaments hanging all over
them, prodding their little daughters to move
further back to the monumento to get a more
panoramic view. Beholding the photos, how
papa would have drenched with tears the
Arabian sands at this saintliness of his little
darling! Oh God!
Then, there was this gay-looking gaily
dressed quartet – I have noticed them for the
past three Jueves Santos without fail – focused
on the monumento from different angles while
furiously scribbling notes and sketching on
small notebooks like judges in some contest.
Come now, have we a monumento competition
going on? The most nature-inspired, the most
futuristic, the most, err, gay?
Did those “visitors” ever come to pray if only
for a minute? I very much doubt it. They – like
the many others who barely bended their knee
– had to rush to six or 12 other churches to
complete their rounds of seven or 13. For the
indulgencia to be granted.
In the scheme of things currently practiced
however, the seventh or thirteenth church
visited makes only the penultimate stop. The
final – and longest – stop for the faithful is
always Jollibee or McDonald’s. There in their
own santissima cena, they feast on fries and
burgers, spaghetti and chicken to stock on
physical strength in anticipation of the requisite
Good Friday fasting and abstinence.
Ah, how they fast and abstain from meat in
the true (?) Catholic way – only one full meal on
the day of days – a lunch of crabs and lobsters,
prawns and oysters! Ah, Epicurus be praised!
Good Friday. My morning jog at the acaciacanopied village square has to take detours
through the grass as the lane gets swamped
by a horde of shirtless flagellants preparing for
their penitential rite.
The plak-plak sound at the strike on the
backs of penitents of the bundled bamboo
strips at the end of their abaca whips provided
the cadence to my jogging pace.
This struck me as a paradox of the faith: not
a few of the Kristo wannabes imbibing markang
demonyo for strength to carry their assorted
crosses, or survive the bleeding under the
burning summer sun. Yet a number puff on
cigarettes.
With their backs “bladed” literally, or
scratched with wooden brushes having broken
glass for bristles, the magdarame start – to the
rhythmic plak-plak – a procession of blood, the
cross bearers in front and a multitude of their
families, barriomates and usiseros bringing the
rear.
Last year, being an election year, not a
few of the flagellants sported arm bands and
headbands prominently displaying the names
of candidates. “Penitential” politics be damned!
Later in the day, after reverently hanging at
the cathedral’s iron fence their black veils and
crowns of woven vines of cadena de amor, the
flagellants’ new spirituality gets further renewal
with bouts of spirituous devotion to San Miguel,
not the archangel but the blue one called GSM.
Truly, bilog ang mundo. Maging sa penitensiya
ng mga tao.
Black Saturday, the faithful flocking the
churches for the Easter Vigil are nowhere near
in force and in determination with those at the
cathedral of compulsive consumption – SM, its
two-day closure “in oneness with Christendom’s
observance of the holiest of days” only serving
to further whet the shopping appetite of its own
hordes of fanatical believers.
From the abyss of the apostasy of my youth,
I wrote a poem that ended thus:
“comic calvary,
a joker made of jessie.
pray, wail,
god is doomed
in the damp darkness
of nietzsche’s tomb.”
No. God is not dead, Zarathustra. Christians
have only put other gods before Him.
Keeping score of old scores and scars, getting
even and one-upping, always make you less than
you are. –Malcolm Forbes
When a man takes one step toward God, God takes
more steps toward that man than there are sands
in the worlds of time. –The Work of the Chariot
What lies behind us and what lies before us are
tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

of the chastisement
‘Privatization,’
maling aksyon
Something in the Garabandal apparitions in the early 1960’s fits into the terrifying
conditional prophecy later given in Akita, Japan in 1972.
(KARUGTONG NG SINUNDANG ISSUE)
it will evaporate. With this there will enter into
the people a desperation and they will attempt
to kill each other, but in those moments their
strength will fail and they will fall to the ground.
God then will make them see that IT IS HE who
directly has permitted all this.
Finally we saw a multitude of people
enveloped in flames - desperately they threw
themselves into the seas and lakes but upon
entering the water far from putting out the
flames the water was boiling and seemed to
help the flames burn more.
“I asked the Blessed Virgin to take all our
children with her. But she said that when this
happens they will all be adults.”
To refresh ourselves with how this
conditional prophecy fits into Akita, here is what
the Blessed Mother relayed to Sister Sasagawa
on Oct. 13, 1973:
“As I told you, if men do not repent and
better themselves, the Father will inflict a
terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be
a punishment greater than the deluge, such as
one will never have seen before. Fire will fall
from the sky and will wipe out a great part of
humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing
neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will
find themselves so desolate that they will envy
the dead. The only arms which will remain for
you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My
Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary.
With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops
and priests.
“The work of the devil will infiltrate even
into the Church in such a way that one will see
cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against
bishops. The priests who venerate me will be
scorned and opposed by their confreres (other
priests); churches and altars will be sacked;
the Church will be full of those who accept
compromises and the demon will press many
priests and consecrated souls to leave the
service of the Lord.
“The demon will be especially implacable
against souls consecrated to God. The thought
of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my
sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity,
there will be no longer pardon for them.”
MANTAKIN MO namang bilyons ang halaga
Nitong salapi na kanilang binulsa,
Na dapat nga sana ya’y sa ospital na
Inilaan upang maponduhan nila?
Balikan natin ang isyu hinggil dito
Sa ‘privatization’ at ‘side effect’ nito
Sakalit tuluyang mangyari ang gusto
At balaking ito ng rehimeng Aquino.
Una, katulad ng nasabi na natin,
Saan sa akala nitong magagaling
Na Solons at ibang kakampi ng ating
Butihing pangulo posibleng sumuling
Ang nakararami nating kababayan,
Na tunay naman ding walang matakbuhan
Kundi pampublikong mga pagamutan
Kapag dinapuan yan ng karamdaman.
Dahilan na rin sa naisin man nila
Itong sa pribadong ospital magpunta
Ay di naman nga n’yan magagawa basta
Kung ni pang-‘deposit’ man lang wala sila.
Kaya saan pa ba tutungo kung hindi
Sa ‘faith healer’ na siyang animo ay suki
At siyang tunay na takbuhan palagi
Ng nakararamng kapos sa salapi?
(At kung saan ala-suwerte ang pag-galing
O walang garantya na sila’y gagaling,
Bagama’t kung minsan ay may gumagaling
Dala na rin marahil ng panalangin).
Kaya ano’t kaysa ninanakaw lamang
Ng ilang kunwari’y ating ‘public servant’
Ang salaping galing sa pawis ng bayan,
Ba’t di maglaan yan sa ‘public hospital?’
Ng malaki-laking halaga o pondo
Para sa gamot at iba pang serbisyo
Upang itong pagamutan ng gobyerno
Ay maasahan ng karaniwang tao
Source: www.kahimyang.info
Na ni kahit bulak at alcohol yata
Ay walang ‘stock’ yan sa E.R. kung kaya
Ang pamilya nitong pasyente ang tila
Obligado para bumili ng kusa?
General Malvar surrenders
in Tanauan Batangas
Yan sa personal na naging karanasan
Ni ‘yours truly’ sa’ting pribadong ospital
Ay nasaksihan kong hindi nalapatan
Ng pangkagipitang atensyong medikal
TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY
ON APRIL 16, 1902, General Miguel Malvar surrendered
to General Franklin Bell in
Tanauan, Batangas, after having surrounded by forces of
Bell, General Mariano Trias,
and General Juan Cailles. In
the words of Felipe Buencamino, Trias and Cailles “cooperated a good deal” with Bell to
effect the surrender of Malvar.
General Mariano Trias received from General Adna
Chaffee, 200 rifles to pursue
and fight Malvar around the
outskirts of Cavite. General Juan Cailles, who also received 200 rifles from General Chaffee, pursue Malvar
through the outskirts of the
province of Laguna. General Malvar surrendered being
caught between the forces
of General Bell in the interior
of Batangas, and being surrounded from Cavite and Laguna by the forces of Generals Cailles and Trias.
Felipe Buencamino, speak-
ing (through interpreter Frank
Joannini) before the Committee on Insular Affairs of the
United States Congress on
May 31, 1902, said the following about General Malvar.
... Batangas was the heart
of the trouble of the war against
America, while Cavite was the
center of operations of insurrection against Spain. Mabini, the head of the irreconcilables, is a native of Batangas, and Agoncillo and Ilustre,
the principal members of the
Hongkong junta, are natives
of Batangas, and Senior Lopez, who lives in Boston, also
an irreconcilable insurgent,
is also a native of Batangas.
All these men belong to very
prominent families of Batangas. They are all honest and
intelligent men. I believe they
are working in good faith, although in my opinion they are
completely wrong. These men
were those who were encouraging Malvar to continue the
war against the United States,
but by means of the strong and
humane work of General Bell,
it was made possible that Malvar instead of being captured
should surrender because his
surrender decides the political question, and his capture
would have been nothing but
the expression of a victory of
the Army.
The surrender began the
previous day at around 3:00pm
when Malvar was taken out of
the woods of Rasario with the
actual surrender taking place
at 8:00am before General Bell
in Tanauan.
After his surrender, Malvar
lived a quiet and comfortable
life. He graciously declined the
offer for him to become governor of Batangas Province.
General Malvar died on
Oct. 13, 1911, of a liver ailment
in Manila. He was 46. His remains were brought to Santo Tomas, Batangas and was
buried with military honors.
Ang tinulungan ko diyan sa JBL
Na kaawa-awa po nating Kabalen,
Na talaga namang kahit singkong duling
Ay wala sa bulsa nang siya’y magpatingin
Sa naturingan pa manding pang-rehiyonal
Nating ospital sa ating lalawigan,
Pero ni bulak at acohol ba naman
Ay wala sila sa oras na kailangan?
Sa ganang akin ay mas makabubuting
Yan ay pag-ukulan ng matamang pansin
Ni PNoy – at hindi ganyang balakin
Na ‘privatization’ ang marapat gawin
Kundi maglaan ng malaking bahagi
Mula sa kabundok na pananalapi
Nitong Inangbayan sa ganitong uri
Ng serbisyo para epektibo lagi
At di itong balak na ‘privatization’
Ng pamahalaan ang makatutugon
Sa problema sa kalusugan ng nasyon,
Partikular na riyan sa ‘poorest of the poor!’

In Akita, the Blessed Mother warned that
unless sinful mankind change ways, the Father
would send a terrible punishment, that “fire will
fall from the sky” and the living will “envy the
dead.” The Akita apparitions were approved by
the local ordinary and the Vatican as worthy of
belief.
Garabandal so far still awaits the Vatican’s
verdict, but its credibility is boosted not
only by events and people closely related
to the apparitions, but also by the fact that
Blessed Padre Pio, in his lifetime, confirmed
the supernatural nature of the Garabandal
apparitions. Joey Lomangino, 83, was the one
to whom the mystic gave the confirmation, and
he is still alive to give testimony not only to this,
but also to the Blessed Mother’s apparitions
and messages in Garabandal.
And then there was also Mother Teresa
of Calcutta, now beatified, who affirmed the
authenticity of Garabandal, to the point that
she even became a good friend of visionary
Conchita. Consider also that then Pope Paul VI
had warmly welcomed Conchita in the Vatican.
What was said in Akita was also revealed
even earlier with more details in Garabandal,
and this visionary Mari Loli Mazon shared with
us in an interview before she passed on in 2009.
The following was her description of the
chastisement, in her own words:
“Although we continued to see the Blessed
Virgin we saw a great multitude of people who
suffered greatly and screamed in anguish.
The Virgin explained to us how this GREAT
PUNISHMENT would come, because there
would come a moment a time in which the
Church would seem to perish, as if it were
finished or disappearing. The Church would
suffer a great trial! We asked the Virgin how
this GREAT PUNISHMENT would be called
and she said it was called COMMUNISM.
“Also, she made us see how the great
chastisement for all humanity would come and
how it comes directly from God. In a certain
moment not a single motor or machine will
function. A terrible heat wave will come, and
men will suffer a burning thirst. Desperately
they will look for water but with the intense heat

Angeles crucifixions limited to biblical 3
FROM PAGE 1
“Only three penitents
will be actually nailed
on crosses on our Golgotha
in
Barangay
Lourdes Northwest this
year,” said village chair
Armando Enriquez.
He also imposed restrictions on the forthcoming crucifixions to
prevent a repeat of social networking con-
troversies that erupted
two years ago over a
woman who had posed
provocatively for a photo shoot on one of the
crosses after the crucifixions.
Noting that biblical crucifixions referred
only to Jesus Christ
and the two robbers,
Enriquez also said that
limiting the crucifixions
to three persons would
be practical so as not
to consume the time of
visiting tourists and pilgrims who usually also
visit other crucifixion
sites as well as observe
other religious practices
in Pampanga.
He said participants
in the local crucifixions
would include the usual biblical characters in
full costume, who would
re-enact events during
the Siete Palabras or
the Seven Last Words.
The time for the entire
program has yet to be
announced so that it
would not conflict with
other crucifixions, particularly in San Pedro
Cutud in San Fernando
which is better known.
“We expect over
50,000 pilgrims and
tourists to come,” he
said.

Senator Bong Revilla nakipagkasundo
na kay Hayden Kho
TULAD NG inaasahan ng lahat, nagkita at nagkaayos na nga na sina Sen. Bong Revilla at dating magkarelasyong Dra. Vicky Belo and Hayden Kho sa kanilang trip
sa Holy Land na nagsimula noong March 29.
Nag-post si Hayden ng picture nila ni Sen. Bong na magkasama sa kanyang Instagram account kung saan ay makikitang pareho silang naka-smile.
May photo caption ang larawan na ganito ang nakasaad:
“But this is really the most amazing part of the trip -- a miracle. No judgements please and no sour comments. All heavens rejoice for another soul pledged for
Christ. As for me and Bong, ‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction,
so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.’”
Bago pa man umalis ang dalawang grupo (kasama ni Sen. Bong ang kanyang pamilya) patungong Holy Land ay usap-usapan na sa showbiz ang bakasyon nila
dahil para kasing pinagtiyap na nagkasabay pa sila ng date ng booking.
Noon pa ay hinuhulaan na ngang malamang ay doon pa sila magkaayos na siya ngang nangyari. Even before he left, open na rin naman si Sen. Bong sa
reconciliation dahil aniya ay matagal nang panahon ang lumipas at nagdesisyon na ang korte tungkol sa kasong kinasangkutan ni Hayden noon.
Carla Abellana nakipagkalas na kay Geoff Eigenmann
SABI NA nga ba at may ibig sabihin ang sagot ni Gina Alajar na “in-announce na ba niya?” (ni Carla Abellana) nang tanungin kung break na ang anak na si Geoff
Eigenmann at Carla.
Sa Startalk last Sunday, “we are no longer together” ang sagot ni Carla sa tanong ni Heart Evangelista kung sila pa ni Geoff.
“Geoff and I are two different people. We don’t share the same values, madalas ’di kami nagkakasundo kesa magkasundo, small things nag-contribute to big
things. Mas nagka-clash kami kesa magka-sundo,” umiiyak na pahayag ni Carla sa pagwawakas ng almost four years nilang relasyon.
Nilinaw ni Carla na walang third party sa breakup nila ni Geoff at ang mahirap sa kanya, hindi lang kay Geoff siya nakipag-break, kundi sa buong Eigenmann
family na naging close sa kanya at feeling nga niya, part na siya ng Eigenmann family.
Wish ni Carla ang next na mamahalin ay siya na ang last at aalagaan siya.
Sa presscon ng So, It’s You nina Carla, Tom Rodriguez at JC de Vera, tiyak na ang
breakup ang mga itatanong sa aktres.
Sa May 7, ang showing ng Regal Entertainment movie.

BIANCA LAPUZ’S parents are both proud to have a daughter outstanding
in the field of entertainment.
We met the parents at last year’s proceedings and we can only
surmise, they have a lot thing to do with their daughter’s victory to become
part of the elite group of the contest.
Mula sa wardrobe hanggang sa song choice, pati yung coordination ng mga fans ni
Bianca, both parents give full support to her.
“Kung ano po ang ambisyon ng mga anak namin, sinusuportahan namin,” sabi pa ni
Aries who himself has been in the acting scene for a few years already. Si Aries is a part
time actor and a full time father to his kids? “Basta ang lagi lang naming pangaral ni
misis sa mga anak namin, priority ang studies nila, susuportahan naming sila, pero
dapat ipagmalaki rin namin sila pagdating sa educational attainment,” sabi pa ni
Aries.
At pagdating nga sa linya ng edukasyon, outstanding din naman si
Bianca who also gives ample time sa kanyang pag-aaral no matter how
busy she is.
Sabi niya, she is dreaming to become a citizen of the
the national scene kaya nga ngayon, she is getting
ready for the big league. Already, there are
negotiations for her in other big projects,
and it is only matter time, Bianca
realizes her dream. “Babalitaan po
namin kayo,”pangako pa niya
sa amin.
As of now, impending din
yung isang international
project which would
bring Bianca to Bali,
Indonesia,
Australia
and China.
This
means,
Bianca
is
also eyeing the global
scene.
Kate lapuz is another
daughter who is already
getting ready for the big
time. At fifteen, she is already a co-host
of German Moreno sa Walang Tulugan of
GMA 7. “Malaking bagay sa kanya yung
binibigay ni Kuya Germs, madami siyang
natutunan,” say ni Aries who’s extra proud
dahil nakikita niya ang fruit of the labor
he and his wife are giving to their other
daughter.
“Nakatutuwa, nagustuhan
naman siya at sa ngayon may mga
deals na kami sa mga projects niya.”
Sa ngayon, Kate is being
considered for a role in a GMA soap
and when this materializes, Kate is
joining the short list of wannabes of
GMA 7.
Very recently Kate Lapuz is an
awardee as an outstanding future
television star at the teen section
of the Dangal Ng Bayan which
she received at the AFP Theater.
“Malaki ang pasasalamat namin
and they supporting Kate, we hope
this would help in the realization of
Kate dream’ s to make it big like her
sister Bianca.”
