Romancing/Romanticising the Sangkaka

I do not know whether I should be rejoicing that the “Sangkaka” is now “malled.” But I would continue writing and investigating its provenance and temperament the same way I would devote time to Chilean and South African wine. After all, to write about the lowly “Sangkaka” is infinitely more rewarding and gratifying than struggling with the death of a General and the overrating of a day called Valentine’s Day.

Benedict XVI's Christmas 2010 Message

Dear brothers and sisters listening to me here in Rome and throughout the world, I joyfully proclaim the message of Christmas: God became man; he came to dwell among us. God is not distant: he is "Emmanuel", God-with-us. He is no stranger: he has a face, the face of Jesus.

Verbum caro factum est" – "The Word became flesh" (Jn 1:14).

Merry Christmas!

“Simbang Gabi, simula ng Pasko sa puso ng lahing Pilipino,” thus goes a favorite carol, which resonates the joyous experience of Christmas in our country.

Indeed, we greet each other “Merry Christmas.” Not ““Happy Holidays.” For with Simbang Gabi, it is back to the Church where we look for and find the true spirit of Christmas: the baby Jesus who was born in a manger. Everything else is just to help remind us of that inexplicable great mystery of God who became Man, like each one of us.
