"Free speech is for speech that you hate, not for speech that you like. The logic of the principle is simple: we don’t need to protect society’s treasured ideas and institutions—they pose no danger to us; we pose no danger to them. It is for those forms of expression that disturb, offend, and even anger us that we actually need freedom of expression, as these types of speech are those in danger of being suppressed if society were not serious enough about a democratic culture." - Florin Hilbay

Emily Abrera does not know her responsibility. She kept on fronting 'freedom of expression' when the mandate of the CCP never mentions such thing. Sadly, she can not explain her behavior in terms of the actual mandate of the CCP. She attempted to deceive the Senate panel.

Emily Abrera must be forced to resign. She did not produce any written documentation about the artist's concept of Mideo Cruz' 'art' neither did she produce Mideo Cruz . She never produced notes regarding meetings that was held with other board of directors of the CCP. She is only protecting herself.

mr. mideo and ccp officials: galit si rizal sa mga erring praile at sa masasamang pinaggagawa nila sa mga Pilipino noon...hindi sa Katolisismo... dahil alam nyang dapat igalang ang kanya-kanyang paniniwala, mali ang pagkaunawa nyo sa mga writings ni DR. JOSE RIZAL...

sinong nambaboy ng napakaraming mga sagradong imahen na nilikha ng ating mga ninuno? di ba mga katolikong prayle?

ms abrera clear na clear yong defamation ni mr. mideo sa CATHOLIC religion hindi sa iba pang relihiyon gaya nung sinabi mo sa senate...kaya tanong nila: Katoliko ka nga ba? kasi yang imahe na yan ay Crucifix at Christ the King na binaboy ay makikita mo tuwing magsisimba ka...San Lorenzo Ruiz defended Catholic faith up to his last breath and so with Blessed Pedro Calungsod.

Sana lang di ka na namin makita pa na nagsisimba sa simbahang Katoliko di mgandang ihemplo ka sa naglilingkod sa simbahan.
