There was a time in the Philippines when priests were regarded as trophy guests in parties and family reunions. They’d also be essential members of every consequential gentleman’s or lady’s social network.

I still can’t figure out how millennials like Inquirer columnist Anna Cristina Tuazon think and it’s unlikely I will ever in what time I have left.

It all started out as a benign response to a tweet issued by GMA Network “broadcast journalist, anchor, host, documentarist and podcaster” Howie Severino.

Esteemed Pinoy Big Brother alumna Bianca Gonzalez…
