We beg to differ.
Linggo ngayon mga mahal kong kababayan at feel kong manermon. Oo, alam kong hindi ako pari o pastor pero nakasulat din naman sa Bibliya na hindi mo rin naman kailangan ng basbas ng kahit anong simbahan para mangaral ukol sa mga salita ng Diyos.

Pasensya na naman po kung nagta-tagalog na naman ako. Meron na naman kasing nangungulit sa akin at nagtatanong kung ano ba talaga ang mga palabas na dapat itaguyod ng ating media.
