Yellow Cardinal Monument to "People Power" SIN

Utang na loob. May bubulagta palang monumento ng Kardinal ni "Kasalanan" ngayong araw, ika-25 Taong Anibersaryo ng pagkakaluklok ng mga Dilaw. Hmmm. It's just a sort of pun, people: I refer to the late Jaime Cardinal SIN.

"A monument of Jaime L. Cardinal Sin, the 36th Archbishop of Manila and leading personality in the peaceful People Power Revolution of 1986 known as EDSA 1 will be unveiled on Friday, February 25, 2011, at the corner of P. Burgos Street and A. Bonifacio drive in Luneta at 9 a.m."

Imagine that, the cardinal ninong of sorts of former "President" Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Tita Cory would have his own monument!

Imagine a conspiratorial "Oplan Excelsis" coup player of the cardinally sinful kind who helped trample upon the sanctity of the Filipino ballot and installed the "Most Corrupt President in Philippine History," a decade-long small-but-terrible destroyer of the nation's moral fabric, being honored with a monument?

Imagine an elitely sinful cardinal who deprived the poor of the holy Latin privilege of "vox populi, vox dei," insulting them as the "Great unwashed" and attempting to deny Holy Mass services during EDSA 3, having a monument in Manila where majority of the 'smelly' urban poor reside?


Hindi yata tamang magtayo ng monumento ni Kardinal Sin para lang sa EDSA I.

Dapat meron din para sa EDSA 2.

And also for EDSA 3, with the plaque that says: "People Power NOT for the great unwashed."

LOL. Make my EDSA day.
