CATHOLIC PRIEST Catalino Arevalo, a known ally of President Aquino admonished Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago in a sermon Sunday saying she could be “worthy of the fires of hell.” Arevalo is now being considered for the post of spiritual adviser to the prosecution panel.
Fr. Catalino Arevalo was quoted to have said that senator-judge Miriam Defensor-Santiago was “worthy of the fires of hell.” Congressman Niel Tupas disagreed. For the prosecution, Santiago was ‘the’ hell.
As expected, the feisty senator retaliated. Citing the Second Vatican Council, Senator Santiago said “there is no hell.” To which, victims of pedophile priests said, “Believe us, there is. We’ve experienced it.”
Interviewed by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Fr. Catalino Arevalo said Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago should apologize for berating the prosecution panel. Santiago insisted that she would never ever apologize for someone else’s idiocy.
A miffed Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago reacted to Fr. Catalino Arevalo’s statement that she’s ‘worthy of the fires of hell.’ The lady senator reminded Arevalo that “the Constitution provides for a wall of separation between the church” and her mental state.
Dangerous
According to Forbes.com, Afghanistan is still the most dangerous place in the world today followed by Iraq. In third place is Los Baños, Laguna.
Less than a year after the rape-slay of a UP Los Baños coed, another UPLB student – entomology major Ray Bernard Peñaranda fell prey to criminals. He was stabbed and killed during a holdup. The Los Baños community has condemned the spate of killings in the once quiet town. A 300,000-peso bounty is being offered for the capture of Peñaranda’s assailants. Another 300,000-peso reward has been put up for any information on the whereabouts of town mayor Anthony Genuino.
Ray Bernard Peñaranda, the slain UPLB student was not from Los Baños. Just like Los Baños Mayor Anthony Genuino.
While we’re on the topic, did you know that Executive Secretary Paquito ‘Jojo’ Ochoa is the concurrent anti-crime czar? Hindi halata.
Noy’s Picks
President Aquino named Wigberto Tañada, father of prosecution team spokesperson Erin Tañada as chairman and member of the board of directors of UCPB-CIIF Oil Mills Group. Likewise, President Aquino named Jorge L. Banal, father of Cong. Bolet Banal, also of the prosecution panel as acting member of the board of directors of Poro Point Management Corp. The rewards oath-taking happened Monday.
A New Car
Some 200 congressmen through a resolution asked the Budget Department to allocate funds for a more state-of-the-art presidential vehicle. Congressman Rudy Fariñas refused to sign the resolution saying, “medyo masama din kasi ang pagkakagawa.”
Focus
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda says, “We are not bothered by the coup rumors. The administration is focused on the economy.” When did Renato Corona change his name to ‘economy?’
TV Patrol 25
Allow me to say ‘Happy birthday TV Patrol!’ The newscast just turned 25 years old. Ten more years and it is eligible to run for senator.
TV Patrol is the only newscast in the world being anchored by a former vice president and senator, a former congressman, and an ex-presidential girlfriend & former senator-turned-DOTC secretary’s wife. TV Patrol is like the government of television shows.
The longest running daily newscast, TV Patrol is now 25 years old. Or as Vicki Belo would say, “Pwede na!”
TV Patrol is now 25 years old. In Hollywood, that’s 127 Kim Kardashian marriages.

Quote of the Day
“Under Vatican 2, there is no hell. In theology, hell is not a geographical place, but is a metaphor for distance from God. That priest should spend his energy fighting pedophilia in the Catholic church, instead of meddling in politics & dividing parishioners.”

The gospel last Friday was taken from Matthew 5:20-26. Verse 22b said “. . . whoever says ‘you fool’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna.” The priest was simply preaching on anger, based on the scriptural readings of the day. Did anyone hear him condemn anyone to hell?

santiago should have said, “if you believed that i’m worthy to be in hell, then i’ll just see you there” no offense to the Catholics but let’s be realistic here, no one is perfect and holy, hence nobody can say who deserves or not to be in hell most especially this priest, he should know what’s written in the bible for he studied it and continues to. the priest could have showed compassion and reached out to santiago instead of “berating” her just the same he is criticising her.

TV Patrol rocks on its 25th year… Here’s why:
1) It still holds the highest rating of a newscast…. the highest rated episode? When Kris Aquino announced that she had an STD in an hour long interview with Korina Sanchez. Haha.
2) Aside from what you pointed out re: having a former VP and senator anchor, a former congressman anchor and ex-future first lady turned ex-future second lady turned first lady of DOTC, it also became a breeding ground of the following roster of anchors and reporters that became HEADLINER in absence of news:
a) Ted Failon (aside from being former congressman) – he made it to the headlines when his wife committed suicide
b) Ces Drilon – made it to the headlines after being kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf in 2008 and after being arrested during the Manila Pen Siege in 2007
c) Pinky Webb – well… she had a brother who made it to the headlines thanks to the Vizconde Massacre
d) Loren Legarda – enough said! Haha.
e) Karen Davila – apologized to Susan Roces on behalf of ABS-CBN in live television in 2004 for the hurt that may have caused by the network in the Poe family
f) Julius Babao – was implicated by the government for helping Dawud Santos allegedly!
