'On her birthday she made fun of a waiter. Her apology failed to recognize what exactly went wrong.' Opinion

.” This may come in many forms, including wearing statement shirts, denouncing racism online, and, yes, quoting the Bible.

To be fair, none of us can fully know a person’s underlying motives. If we’re honest about it, we sometimes find it difficult to explain even our own behavior. As an empirical discipline, sociology restrains me from making any authoritative statement about one’s “true” motives. One can’t simply know.

After earning people’s ire on social media, so much damage control had to be done. The plot was so thick that none of her movies could compare. Some celebrities first came to her rescue. And then it was her friends. And then some influencers. And then the husband too. This virtue signaling worked. By appealing to God as the one who orchestrated all of it to teach her a lesson, Alex has in effect evaded these fundamental issues.

Reading these words, one wonders whether Mikee was shifting the blame back to Alex’s critics. But that’s not the most important thing. Instead it’s that he invoked God’s mercy. One of course wonders what form of healing he was thinking of and whether it was also for Kuya Allan.Truth be told, the issue here is not just Alex. What transpired in the past days reveals much about religious life in Philippine society.

MsCathyGonzaga --- your 'God taught me a lesson' is blah!🙄

Punong-puno 🤣🤣🤣

stop it, this is just universal, pambabastos ni alex sa waiter e katulad lang rin ng pambabastos ng kakampinks kay toni g sa birthday nya

Bastos naman talaga in any angles tingnan! Pag normal na tao kaya gumawa Nyan? Kung Siya ok lng? Tsk..tsk... Mag sorry man...bastos pa rin...

It is about good manners and right conduct eroded by a crooked leadership and a rotten system of governance that completely erases accountability and transparency at its core.

kacheapan, pati ba naman cake issue, nakikisawsaw, jusme anyare sa Craplers

ooomph 🤭

Ganyan ka bobo mga christians pero maingay sa same sex marriage at abortion.

In our country? You just said it's a 'narrow minded Christian worldview' . It's a tragedy of Christianity as we know it in the whole world then.

DangSulit This is a poor generalization of Christianity based on the anthropocentric mock up of Evangelicalism. But Christianity, especially Catholicism doesn’t teach selfishness but self-sacrifice and effacement.

Wag kayong mag malinis kung kayo mismo di niyo magawa sa sarili niyo pagiging self-righteous niyo

Forgiveness is overrated. Kaya lalakas ng loob balahurain ang mga walang kapangyarihan kasi pwede mag sorry. Kasi pwede humingi ng tawad sa dios? Forgiveness is their way of telling themselves that they deserve heaven after all the shit theyve done.

Agree! Well said.

sa kahit anong usapan, basta pinasok na yung pangalan ni God (ang Diyos nga nakakapagpatawad, sa awa ng Diyos, Diyos lang pwede humusga, God is giving me a lesson, etc)...ba't para ngang may notion na gumagaan kasalanan nung may sala

-what conforms the society, shrinks the norms of dignity-

oh well….mga “Born Against”

Nope! God didn't teach her that lesson. We the people who has discernment taught her that lesson. This sister of a so-called 'most powerful woman' don't even know how to give credit where credit is due. 🤦‍♂️

the way they think: its always all about them
