The minority rules over the majority

Why was there a need to suspend classes in many parts of Metro Manila yesterday (Monday) just because a politically influential religious group, the Iglesia ni Cristo, held a medical mission and distributed bags of food in several places in the metropolis?

Why couldnâ€™t those noble undertakings be confined in one big area like the Quirino Grandstand at the Luneta, which can accommodate millions?

Donâ€™t get me wrong. Iâ€™m a fan of the INC because most of its members are disciplined citizens.

But why did they have to hold the huge event in many places in Metro Manila when they could have done it the day before, which was Sunday?

That way, students wouldnâ€™t have suffered in their studies.

Reports reaching this columnist said the event was not only for what it was announcedâ€”to treat the sick and distribute relief goods to calamity victims.

It was more than that: Send a message to MalacaÃ±ang about the religious sectâ€™s displeasure over certain issues.

Among the alleged issues: The dismissal of Magtanggol Gatdula as director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the forced resignation of Virginia Torres as head of the Land Transportation Office (LTO), both of whom are INC recommendees, and the inclusion of an INC member from the revamp at the Bureau of Customs.

This is hard to believe, but if this is true, then the INC is acting like a spoiled brat who didnâ€™t get his way.

Why would the INC make other people who belong to different faiths suffer the inconvenience of heavy traffic and the loss of a day of learning for students?

Apparently, the INC doesnâ€™t know President Noy very well.

The guy can never be forced to change his decision once he has made it.

Educated at the Ateneo de Manila University, a Catholic school, P-Noy was threatened with excommunication by the Church over the issue of reproductive health, but he didnâ€™t back down.

Havenâ€™t you noticed all his relatives on his motherâ€™s sideâ€”the Cojuangcos, particularly his Uncle Pepingâ€”have not been given key positions in his administration?

Thatâ€™s because P-Noy is his own man.

and all the trouble for 3 kilos of rice, 3 tins of sardines, and 3 packs of noodles per bag of goodies. free, fine. anything that's free is a blessing. the sad part was in the "invitation", one-on-one by INC members to non-INC ones, the never-say-never kind the persistence of which is sometimes enough for one to give in just to silence a pest.

the promise of goodies was more than what they really were, as it turned out. the real purpose was their "pahayag" (evangelization). INC "pahayag" aims for an audience, the more, the merrier. it doesn't matter if the audience is composed of the unwilling and the surprised. any audience is already an accomplishment. imagine that multitude. they must be patting their backs now.

The more that the body politic thinks they are powerful, the more money rolls in.

It's just sad that ambitious people think they're the way to success. Oh, well, idiots abound...
