Last week, I joined the procession of the International Eucharistic Congress as they marched from the Capitol to Plaza Independencia. There were so many people, more people than was expected. It was a peaceful and somber affair. The slow shuffling and repetitive chanting were hypnotic in a way and put me in a contemplative mood.
It was a pretty big deal since so many people joined it. I've heard some people even put the number to a million although that's probably exaggeration. Perhaps a little below a quarter million is more reasonable. The event was so remarkable in fact, that the national newspapers hardly mentioned it at all. Instead the front pages were dedicated to that Pia Wurtzback broad and Vic Sotto's wedding. I guess since it didn't happen in Manila, it didn't happen at all.
Sheesh.
