Christian Love and Compassion in the Philippines

I love the Philippines more than any other country in Asia, and for this reason, I cling to my right to often criticize her. In this connection, it pains me to see how we Filipinos have no sense of pride as a people and no sense of self-respect as a nation. After birth, we only look forward to a better life to come in the next world, if any. For God’s sake, we even kneel down and worship a Savior who was born in a foreign land called “Bethlehem” some 2,000 years ago. It is, in this way, that we look forward to a better life to come in the next world. No, for the sake of Christianity, we have neither love nor compassion for each other down here. We only love God and his Son Jesus up there. Poch Suzara Twitter# facebook# Google#
