Tapos isisisi nyo sa gobyerno gayung mas may oras pang magdasal kaysa isipin kung papaanong di dadami. Hituan mo na ang pa-ingles-ingles mo,,nagmumukhang tanga ka lang e.

Catholic priest has the biggest part of all this huge early pregnancy problem, they're taking the Bible out of context" magparami daw, mga walang awa sa kapwa nilang pilipino. Then go out there in starbucks you'll both nun and priest enjoy thier life outside thier white filthy garments robe...so shameful, also they need to change the laws in the Philipppines to allowed the adoption.
