Black Saturday marks the end of the 40-day Lenten Season. Pledges of penitence, abstinence and repentance mark this Holy season observed by devout Catholics.
After 40 days. Jesus Christ will be resurrected in what we all came to know as the Easter Sunday.
But this blog post is not just about the Black Saturday or the Resurrection of the Lord.
This post is about the 43 health workers illegally detained, tortured and charged with trumped up cases. Jesus Christ would have wanted the 43 health workers freed for they have done nothing except to provide free health service to far-flung barrios, where health service was as scant as the food they eat.
Just like Jesus Christ, who had attracted huge crowds during his sermons to preach and teach about service and humility, the 43 health workers attracted patients who have long been denied of this very basic social service.
Service.
Yes, that's what the 43 health workers offered to our countrymen.
They should be freed the soonest time possible for they have not committed any crime.
Again, all they did was serve. Nothing more, nothing less.
