2 resorts in hot water for Lent parties | Sun.Star Network Online
If the local officials had half the brain and were objective, first of all this ordinance should have not been passed. Why? It is a private resort and the line should be drawn between the separation of church and state and a preference to a particular religion, in this case roman catholic.
what made the local officials think they made the right decision? because bantayan has been given a special privilege by rome being a fishing community, secondly because holy week is a holiday in the philippines thereby giving the government a right to impose.
was it due to politics? probably, by the intimidation of the governor.
