Religion and politics: an alliance of money, influence, and power

What? No words of sympathy from Sarah Elago, Risa Hontiveros, and Inday Espina Varona on the occasion of their leader Joma Sison’s death??

Not a peep from the lovely Senator either. Speaking of lovely, no word on the touchy subject as well from communist “journalist” (now Rappler honcho) Inday Espina…
