It is interesting to see thousands of Catholic faithful to be very serious on their observance of the Holy Week. Some of my friends stop eating meat during the event. They also spend less, shop less, eat less and all. It is part of their family tradition.
They said repentance and sacrifice is the utmost purpose of the Holy Week. Greed has no room in their hearts when the lent is here.
As for non-Catholics like me, repentance, forgiveness and sacrifice is a day-to-day practice, especially if you live in a country named Philippines.
Yes, repentance for electing leaders who do not keep their promises; forgiveness for the corrupt or else you will commit sin for cursing them; and sacrifice for living in a country ruled by a bureaucracy that is tolerant of red tape, padrino system and all kinds of illegal activities camouflaged in alleged projects and programs.

The corruption of leaders is a world wide problem.
