Catholic Archbishop Onesimo Gordoncillo gave this unsolicited advice to Catholic President Benigno Aquino: Don’t attack your former college teacher and predecessor Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo when delivering your State of the Nation Address (SONA) this Monday

The Monsignor admonished him:

That is not the real meaning of SONA… not to attack a person. Let’s not center on the negative. Let’s do something positive. This is what we are expecting [in] his SONA.

That’s easy. Here’s what PNoy can do and I’m sure his ex-teacher Arroyo would appreciate it if he does this. You know, copying is the sincerest form of flattery.

PNoy can just copy and paste the following paragraphs from Arroyo’s first SONA speech wherein she said:

First we must strengthen justice and the enforcement of law and order.

This pertains to two levels. At the level of principle, this administration affirms its commitment to the principle that no one is above the law.

Thus, our policy is to support the fair and speedy trial of all the accused involved in the cases against former president Joseph Estrada.

If there were times that I showed concern for the personal circumstances of the former president, it is not a sign of diminished determination to see justice done.

Rather, it is out of sensitivity to the feelings of the segments of our masa who have continued to identify with his personal circumstances.

But as I sometimes extend a hand covered by a velvet glove, inside it is an iron hand where justice and the rule of law are concerned.

As a sign of this, I will support legislation to amend the charter of the ombudsman so he can accept the services of private prosecutors.

The second level pertains to our sense that justice prevails and the rule of law works in our daily lives.

Advice for PNoy’s speech writer – for the words “Joseph Estrada”, simply substitute the words – Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

    Everytime those Bishops are opening their mouth, what they say is often an entertaining, disgusting comedy. They always protect the scr—– mother of plunderer, GMA

    I guess the Archbishop must also refrain from making comments wearing his garment until all of them would have the real understanding of separation of the church and state while they still enjoy the tax exemptions given to them by the states (which could have been a good source of relief for the poor of the nation) and accepting donations from the coffers of PCSO that they know pretty well came from incomes taken through gambling which is taboo in their pulpits.
    Those donations ( thankfully, I heard they all returned it) are supposed to be enjoyed by people in needs in terms of cash and services but not in kind such as car. . They should also take a look into the recipients of the PCSO’s funds who have been suffering from a long time of waiting in line before they receive the aids while those costly cars goes to them probably without even experiencing to fall in line or wait for a call.
