Prayer sought for those set for execution in China

- The Ear -

DEATH CONVICTS. A text message appealing to text recipients to pray for the three Pinoys scheduled to be executed March 30 in China is making the rounds. The message is in Chabacano so it is presumed that it originated in Zamboanga or another Chabacano-speaking place. It is followed by the same message in English.

ANONYMOUS. An Ear informer who is one of those who have received that text message said there is no sender’s name but it is evident it came from a Catholic as it beseeches the blessing of Mama Mary.
