Semana Santa: Ang Sagradong Tradisyon ng mga Pinoy

              Bilang isang Katoliko, kailangan natin siyang alalahanin, bilang isang tagapagligtas at humingi ng tulong sa kanya sa pang-araw araw na pamumuhay, at kung anu-ano pang kahilingan. Ngunit, ngayong Semana Santa, ayon sa Bibliya, sa panahong ito ay kung saan si Hesus ay nagpakasakit, nagsakripisyo at namatay hindi sa dahil sa kanyang mabigat na kasalanan na kanyang ginawa at kundi para iligtas at itubos tayo sa ating mga kasalanan. Ngunit kapag sa ganitong panahon, hindi tayo pahuhuli kapag tradisyon na ang pinaguusapan na talagang taun-taon na lang ating ginagawa. Anu-ano nga ba iyong mga tradisyon na ating ginagawa tuwing Kuwaresma? 

              Ayon sa Katolismong konsepto, nagsisimula ang panahon ng Kuwaresma tuwing Ash Wednesday, on iyong paglalagay ng abo sa ating noo tuwing huling linggo ng Pebrero sa araw ng Miyerkules, pinaalala nito, na tao ay galing sa abo, kaya dapat magbalik loob sa kanya at magbago. Ang mga abo na nilalagay sa ating noo, ay gawa sa sinunog na palaspas. 

               Ang Linggo ng Palaspas, ay ipinagdiriwang naman tuwing unang, ikalawa , ikatlo o ikaapat, dipende sa gustong itapat ng Katolika, ito ay pag-alala na si Hesus ay matagumpay na nakatapak sa Jerusalem, sinalubong siya ng kanyang mga kababayan gamit ang isang sanga ng puno na tawag ay palaspas at ito ang simula ng Semana Santa. 

               Tuwing Byernes Santo naman, tradisyon na sa San Fernando, Pampanga ang pagpapapako sa krus, ayon mismo sa mga gumagawa nito, ito raw ang tanging paraan nila para pasalamatan ang Diyos dahil sa himalang ginawa nito sa kanila o sa kanilang pamilya. Kapag pumatak na ng alas-3 ng hapon (ang oras ng pagpanaw ni Hesus), tahimik ang paligid, saradong istasyon ng telebisyon o radyo, pagsasara ng mga negosyo at patuloy na pagdasal ng ating mga kababayang Katoliko. 

               Tuwing Huwebes Santo naman, mapa bata o matanda man, ay nagbi- Visita Iglesia, ito ay ang pagbisita sa 17 simbahan dito sa Metro Manila. O karamihan sa atin, ay pumupunta ng Grotto, kung saan bibisitahin naman natin ang mga stasyon ng krus o Stations of the Cross sa terminolohiyang Ingles.  

                 Tuwing Sabado De Gloria naman,  nagsasagawa naman sila ng Easter Vigil, bilang paghahanda sa Pasko ng Pagkabuhay. At sa mismong Linggo ng Pagkabuhay (Easter Sunday), nagdiriwang ang simbahang Katoliko at ng buong Pilipino ang muling pagkabuhay ni Hesus sa kanyang pinaglibingan, bilang ganti sa kanyang sakrispisyo. Nagsasagawa ang mga simbahan, ng mga misa ukol sa pagdiriwang na ito. 

                 May mga tradisyon tayong ating ginagawa taun-taon, tulad ng pagdadrama ng senakulo at pagbabasa ng Pasyon. 

                May mga pamahiin naman tayo na dapat sundin, tulad ng hindi pagkain ng baboy, hindi pagiingay tuwing Biyernes Santo, bawal masugatan, at kung anu-ano pang mga pamahiin. 

                 Ano nga ba ang mensahe na ating naririnig tuwing panahong ito? Ang magbalik loob sa kanya, alalahanin siya at tanggapin siya sa ating puso bilang kanyang Tagapagligtas. Hindi mo na kailangan magpenitensya para tubusin ang kasalanang iyong ginawa, magdasal, mangako at gawin, iyan ang dapat mong gawin upang mapatawad ka ni di lang Hesus kundi ang mga taong ginawan mo nang kasalanan. 

Isang makahulungang pagdiriwang ng Semana Santa ang sana'y sumainyo.

The News and Information Blog lunched its first special report this 2012 entitled, "People Power Revolution: 26th Year of Battle". 

                                             December 30, 1965, after Macapagal reigned, Marcos promised another journey to Philippine people. On his first term, many of his platforms have been on the list of his achievements as the 10th Philippine president of the Philippines.

He was assassinated at the Manila International Airport (known as Ninoy Aquino International Airport)  last August 21, 1981. Marcos, condemn the crime, instead he formulated the "Agrava Fact-Finding Board", to do who was the mastermind of the assassination, but the crime is still mystery until now. Effect of this, our Philippine economy was fallen down, and Marcos was going again to debt Monte nary Organization.

This day, was support by the Filipino people to resign Dictatorship that cause of their unity rally in EDSA (known for Epifanio De lo Santos Avenue)
                                                         Feb. 23, 1986, Enrile and Ramos decided to go in Camp Crame to crowd cheer by the Filipino people who join in unity rally. 
                                                        Feb. 24, 1986- The Armed Forces Military was going to support Enrile and Ramos. 
                                                     Feb. 25, 1986- Two inauguration was happened; the Aquino inauguration at the Club Filipino in Greenhills and the inauguration of Ferdinand Marcos at the Malacañang Palace. By 9:05 pm - Marcos and his loyalist and family was board U.S. Airforce HH-3E Rescue to Clark Air Base and going to Hawaii. The Filipino people was crowd cheering, when they informed that the family was leaving the country, instead their going to Palace and damage that can related to the Marcos family.

Now the DEMOCRACY is reign in this time, it was wrote to our Philippine history.

Impeachment: Daan sa Tuwirang pagbabago

           November 2000 hanggang December, 2001, naganap ang paglilitis kay Estrada at ngayong pagpasok ng taong 2012, January 16, isang pinuno ng hudikatura ang inakusahan ng pagtataksil sa taumbayan, siya ay si Renato C. Corona, kilala bilang midnight appointee ni dating pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Ilang araw bago ang impeachment, sinabi na ni Pnoy, na uusigin niya ang mga midnight appointees ni Arroyo, suportado naman si ang taumbayan dito, anila, ang impeachment na ito ang magsisilbing pagputol sa imahe ng korupsyon sa nakaraang 9 na taon. Ang Complaint ay pinirmahan ng mga Representates ng Kongreso at tuluyang binigyang bisa ng Senado ang artikulong ito, dito na nagsimula ang laban para sa katotohanan. Ngunit, bago magkaalaman, ano nga ba ang silbi ng impeachment sa bansa at bakit kailangang bantayan ito ng taumbayan? 

-ANO ANG IMPEACHMENT? 

*Ito ay ang proseso na nakasaad sa Saligang Batas ng 1987, kung saan nililitis ang isang pinuno base sa nagawa nito kasalanan sa ating bansa. 

-SINU-SINONG MGA OPISYAL ANG PWEDENG MA-IMPEACH? 

*Ayon sa Saligang Batas, ang Pangulo, Ikalawang Pangulo, Namumuno sa Hudikatura, Namumuno sa Ahensiyang Pang-Konstitusyon at mga Ombudsman ay pwedeng ma-impeach. 

-ANU-ANO MINSAN ANG MGA GROUNDS SA IMPEACHMENT LABAN SA OPISYAL NA NA-IMPEACH?

*Kadalasan, ang mga grounds ng impeachment ay ang mga case of Betraying of Public Trust o Pasira ng tiwala ng taumbayan, Graft and Corruption o korupsyon na kanyang ginawa at Violation of the Constitution o paglabag sa Saligang Batas. 

-SAAN NGA BA DINIDINIG ANG KASO NG NA-IMPEACHED?

*Kadalasan, sa Senado, dinidinig ang kaso, dahil ito ay may malaking ginagampanan sa Impeachment proceedings, ito'y binubuo ng mga senador na magsisilbing senate-judges, ang manunumo ng trial na kadalasan ang Senate President ang nasa posisyon, mga prosekyusyon na uusig sa na-impeach at ang Dipensa na pabor sa na-impeached. Kadalasan, nagtatagal ang trial, dahil sa pagrerepresenta ng mga Artikulo na naglalaman ng ebidensya dipensa base sa kaso nito, maaaring magbago ang pagkakasunud-sunod nito dipende kung ito'y papayag ng Senate president. Ang mga witnesses sa trial ay dumadaan sa cross-examination upang sa pagkakataong iyon, magsasabi lamang ng pawang katotohanan ang witness. Sa paghahatol naman, kung sapat nang matibay ang iyong ebidensya, maaaring mag-botohan sa hatol, kung ang na-impeach ay convicted o hindi. Ang presiding officer ng Impeachment Trial ay naka-depende kung sino ang nasasakdal, tulad na lang noong 2001, nang ma impeached si Estrada, naging presiding officer ang dating Punong Mahistrado ng Korte Suprema na si Hilario Davide Jr. 

-BAKIT MAHALAGANG TUNGHAYAN ITO NG TAUMBAYAN? 

*Ito kasi ang nakikita nilang pagkakamali ng pagtitiwala, tulad sa eleksyon. Bilang isang demokratikong bansa, mahalaga na malaman ng taumbayan ang trial na ito dahil sila rin ay mag-iisip na kanilang pagtitiwala at sila'y may karapatan na husgahan ang kanilang pinagtiwalaang opisyal.


-Ikaw at ang News and Information ay katuwang sa pagbabantay, pagsusuri at paghuhusga sa isang makasaysayang paglilitis tungo sa kampanya ni Pnoy sa tuwid na landas, kaya manatiling nakatutok sa News and Information para sa iba pang Impeachment updates. Ikaw ang magsisimula ng daan tungo sa Matuwid.
