We are God's caricature.
Yeah!
Because we Filipinos are religious people. The only Christian nation in Asia... no more. Well at least we had that title.
So, since we are a Christian nation we believe that we are created in God's image.
The problem is... We are no perfect yet. So our character is distorted in many ways.
Of course I will not deny that hypocrisy is the malignant cancer inside our church... es? Religions? Different religion names? Affiliations? Sects?
Ah yeah... Whatever.
If Hinduism has many gods, we Filipinos have many religions with different doctrines, variety of ways to go to heaven, differences in teaching, music restrictions and proper dress to wear. And our based is this ONE BOOK - The Bible.
And I am not sure if we should be proud of that in one of our provinces someone is claiming that he is the son of god, the owner of the universe and the only way to heaven. And guess what, he is using the same book - The Bible.
We Filipinos love to interpret things differently. That's normal and more normal when we ended up arguing over the "same passage" using different lenses.
Are you intrigued?
I know you are and that is good.

Disclaimer 1.1: This disclaimer is for grammar Nazi around the world and most importantly for my co-Filipinos.
Disclaimer 1.2: I am doing my best to use as more complex words as possible but my nose is bleeding.
Fyi: Nose bleed term is worldwide used by Filipinos for Filipino who barely or hardly speak in English.
It's originated when Manny Pacquiaoooo persistently speaking English. In fairness with Manny, he is able to show that his hunger to learn is more hungrier than his million dollars fight. (That's my debatable opinion)
Speaking of English speaking, we Filipinos really love to be fluent. However, we hate when someone around us speaking with accent. And of course the worse case is we hate when someone is speaking a broken English.
We don't know where we will place ourselves.
The solution?
We should act according to someone's standard and level of understanding.
One mistake.
One shot using iPhoneXYZ
One post.
Congratulations!
You are viral for speaking broken English or in ill-mannered accent.
Ironically, English is the bread and butter of thousands of Filipinos and yet allergy when someone's speaking English in the public.
What do you think?
Are we just humorist?
Or satirist of our own life?
