A 'thanksgiving mass' was held for ex-Senator Leila de Lima at the EDSA Shrine in Quezon City. The mass was organized by some friars of the Catholic Church and friends of de Lima. Many Filipinos see this as a political move by the Church and the disgraced Liberal Party.
Last Friday, a ' thanksgiving mass ' was held by some friars of the Catholic Church and friends of ex-Senator Leila de Lima at the EDSA Shrine in Quezon City. Many Filipinos consider that place as the political altar of the Church and its stooges in the disgraced Liberal Party . It was called a ' thanksgiving mass ' because De Lima, detained for nearly seven years, was recently allowed to post bail in her pending anti-narcotics criminal case.
For the record, the Supreme Court upheld her long incarceration. The 'thanksgiving mass' had all the trappings of a moro-moro (a Spanish colonial era stage play format influenced by the Catholic church, and where the inevitable defeat of non-Catholics is inevitable), and a nineteenth century zarzuela (an ostentatious display of needless pageantry in a stage show with a very thin plot)
