Filipino Family Values

I am told that one of the greatest attributes of the Pinoy is his love of family as exemplified by his devotion to the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I ask: what in hell is the connection between a Jewish family born in Israel during the first century with the Filipino family born in the Philippines in this 21st century? How come countries like China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and places like Taiwan and Hongkong - do not and never have recognized Jesus, Mary and Joseph as the paragon of family values? And to think faith-soaked Filipinos are in those countries today working and enjoying a higher standard of living and indeed, a higher standard of thinking. In the meantime, the religiously frightened in this country are still trying to find solid evidence to prove that Rizal retracted before he was executed for exposing the hypocrisy and the chicanery of Catholicism in the Philippines. The same religion that introduced Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the Philippines for Pinoys to love, worship, and adore. Indeed, for Pinoys to have faith in God for the sake of nothing except to participate in the silly rat-race for eternal salvation. Poch Suzara
