Kapanalig sa 15 ng impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte, hindi pa rin nabubutasan o napahina ng depensa ang prosecution theory at kumbinsihin ang Senado na ang kaso sa confidential fund laban sa pangalawang pangulo ay mahina at fishing expedition lamang.
Simple lamang ang problema ni VP Duterte, kahit anong objection., kahit anong cross-examination sa witness ng prosekusyon na si COA auditor Xylene del Campo, hindi maipaliwanag ng defense lawyers kung saan ginastos ng Office of the Vice President at Department of Education ang 612.5-milyong pisong confidential fund.
Kapag pera ng bayan ang pinag-uusapan, hindi dahilan ang confidential., saan mo ginastos?
Sa napakahabang cross examination sa prosecution witness, malinaw ang kawalan ng accountability sa panig ni VP Duterte.
Ang hindi masagot na tanong., nasaan ang sapat na dokumentasyon? Ano ang confidential operations na pinondohan?
Paano napatunayan na lehitimo at successful ang mga operasyon?Kung ibinigay ng accountable officer ang pera sa ibang tao, sino ang nakakaalam kung saan talaga napunta ang milyun-milyong pisong cash?
Hindi rin maipaliwanag at walang documentary evidence ang kampo ni VP Duterte na ang kinukuwestiyong pera ng taumbayan ay ginastos tama sang-ayon sa tunay na layunin ng confidential fund.
Kapanalig, pilit mang giniba ang kredibilidad ni del Campo, umalis siya sa witness stand nang hindi nabubutas ang pangunahing problema ng audit.,kulang ang substantiation, mga dokumento at tumibay ang pagdidiin ng prosekusyon kung sino ang may pananagutan.
Kung malinis at hindi ginastos ng personal ni VP Duterte ang confindential fund., nasaan ang resibo?
Ang masakit na katotohanan, kung nawala na ang pananagutan, hindi na maituturing na maliit ang problema, maaring ang kabuuang paggasta sa 612.5-milyong pisong confidential fund ay mali, iligal na ginamit ang pondo.
Kapanalig, hindi puwedeng gastusin ng isang opisyal ng pamahalaan ang milyun-milyong pisong pera ng bayan at ikatwirang confidential kasunod ng kawalan ng pananagutan. Hindi maaring confidential ang sagot sa bawat tanong. Pera yan ng taumbayan, kailangan mong ipaliwanag kung nasaan napunta ang pera, at bakit nararapat at legal ang paggasta ng pondo.
Kapanalig, kung maayos ang paggamit ng pondo, simple lang ang dapat ipakita ni VP Duterte sa COA. Ang confidential na aktibidad? Magkano ang ginamit na pondo? Ano ang otoridad na gastusin ang salapi? Nasaan ang mga dokumento na nag-uugnay sa pera sa ginawang programa? Malinaw sa auditing hindi sapat na sabihing may operasyon? Pambabastos ito sa taumbayan.
Sinasabi ng ROMANS 3:19 – โNow we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to Godโ.
Ayon naman sa Proverbs 27:17, โAs iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.โ
Sumainyo ang Katotohanan.

Gospel Reading for August 14, 2026 – Matthew 19: 3-12
WORK OF LOVE
Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.” They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” His disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” He answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

As Jesus explained, marriage is not for everyone, because it is a lifelong journey in which two persons, raised differently and coming from different families, are brought together by God in Holy Matrimony and become ONE.
In this sacrament, the couple is showered with all the graces they need to make their union a beautiful WORK OF LOVE designed by Godโa union in which they live under one roof, remain faithful to one another, support and care for one another, and honor each otherโs dignity. In this sacred relationship, they strive not to allow their differences to separate them, but rather to adjust to one another, so that they may truly become ONE.
Through constant communication, they gradually develop a language all their own, where disagreements can lead to understanding and, ultimately, to agreement. If they are blessed with children, who are the fruit of their union, they are given the precious opportunity to serve the world by raising them according to Godโs will.
There are countless experiences that unfold within this sacred union, which is why LOVE is essential for it to flourish and endure. St. Paulโs beautiful description of LOVE in 1 Corinthians 13:1โ13 expresses this truth perfectly. As the saying goes, LOVE conquers all.
Some sectors are advocating for the legalization of divorce in the Philippines, a nation that is home to the largest Christian population in Asia. From a Christian perspective, the legalization of divorce raises serious concerns because it is difficult to reconcile with the Christian understanding of marriage as a sacred and lifelong covenant before God.
Lord Jesus, help us to be faithful to the vows we make, whatever our state of life may be. Amen.

Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Friday, Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time, Year II Memorial of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Priest & Martyr, 14 August 2026

O God our loving Father, help us to always remember - our origins and beginnings, our past especially the people who had cared and nurtured us, our parents and siblings, relatives and friends, those who gave us the breaks and sparks to begin our great journeys in life, the people who stood by when we were down and nobody believed us: dear God, remind us always of the basic fact, of the principle and foundation of our being: that we came from you and shall return to you.
Forgive us, Lord God, in forgetting you always, in forgetting others, in forgetting we are nothing without you; touch us, nudge us if needed whenever we forget you and our lowly beginnings; let us not be amazed by our feats and abilities.
But you were captivated by your own beauty, you used your renown to make yourself a harlot, and you lavished your harlotry on every passer-by, whose own you became. Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were a girl, and I will set up an everlasting covenant with you, that you may remember and be covered with confusion, and that you may be utterly silenced for shame when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord Godย (Ezekiel 16:15, 60-63).

As we celebrate today the Memorial of your most faithful servant St. Maximilian Kolbe who offered himself not just once for a fellow prisoner in Auschwitz for he had dedicated himself to you entirely before World War II began, may we remember the lessons that led to the Holocaust; like St. Maximilian Kolbe may we continue to remember your covenant in Jesus Christ by making a stand against injustice and immorality, in defending life especially at its weakest points, and most of all, in remembering the equal dignity of every person created in your image and likeness; like what Jesus told the Pharisees, let us go back to Paradise, let us return to you, O God, as our Lord and Master alone, not ourselves, nor our pride and convenience, nor anyone nor their flimsy, modern thoughts and ideas; like St. Maximilian Kolbe, may we have the courage to always stand forward for what is true and good and holy. Amen.
