Mysteries in the Duterte-Andres row

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people...” (Proverbs 14:34, the Holy Bible).

MYSTERIES IN THE DUTERTE-ANDRES ROW: After all has been said and done, there are still many mysteries in the Sara Duterte-Abe Andres Davao City face-punching brouhaha. One, why was there a demolition order against the informal settlers, or, better yet, what was the basis of that demolition order? Two, who issued the demolition order?

Third, Sara knew that Abe was supposed to be merely following orders of his superiors---presumably judges from the area---so, Sara’s belligerency was really not against the sheriff per se, but evidently against the judges (or any other government authority) who issued the demolition order. Knowing this, why did Sara dare to be so belligerent---against the judges or any other official who issued the order?

And then, again, that demolition order was later stayed by another order from a Davao City judge---which would indicate that that order suffered from some defect or another (otherwise, why would it be stayed by another judge?).

Was that the reason why the sheriff was in a hurry to carry out the demolition, despite Sara’s urgent pleas? So that, even if it is later on declared to be defective, the demolition has been carried out just the same, rendering moot any declaration against its validity or legality?

DEPED MAKING LIFE DIFFICULT FOR CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS: Excuse me please, but I am not impressed with the supposed turn-over of P1 billion by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation(PAGCOR) to the Department of Education so more classrooms can be built across the country. Why? Simply because the simple building of more classrooms does not mean better education for the youth.

I suggest that a significant part of that P1 billion should be devoted to buying Bibles instead and educating our children on God’s Word and commands, or, better yet, helping Christian schools across the country to improve their facilities since they are already engaged in teaching spiritual values to school children.

As it is, however, the DepEd is making life more difficult for these Christian schools by refusing to extend their licenses to operate for some legal mambo-jumbo, forcing many of them to close down, as if the DepEd is manned by people who descended from the arch-enemy of God, not wanting children to study His Word.

RULES FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES: Ephesians 5:21-30 exhorts husbands and wives: “…Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior…

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word... In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself…”
