I was watching a TV replay of last Wednesday’s Senate Impeachment trial where the complainants who filed a case in the Office of the Ombudsman like Rep. Lisa Hontiveros, Harvey Keh and Atty. Emmanuel Santos were on the hot seat. In the end, what the Defense proved was that the evidence presented by the complainants could not be authenticated nor verified as true. In short, Filipinos just heard a pack of lies on nationwide television coming from supposedly civic-minded people who turned out to be part and parcel of this zarsuela to convict Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Is this what’s happening to this country today where people can be hauled to court based on coffee shop rumors, innuendoes or simply a pack of lies? If the Senator Judges should convict CJ Corona, then so be it… for as long as real and concrete evidence could be established. But the Senator Judges ought to be warned in convicting an innocent man… more so an innocent Chief Justice, just because he is hated by the President of this country, because the Filipino people will not take this sitting down.
What I’m seeing here is not just an issue between political parties filing an impeachment case vs. CJ Corona… what we are seeing here is also a fight between good and evil, a spiritual battle between the liars and those who only tell the truth. If you’ve been watching carefully the events in this Senate Impeachment trial… you’ve heard the pack of lies coming from the Prosecution from 45 properties down to 5 and from 8 articles of impeachment down to 3 and that mysterious short lady and spurious documents stuck in fences. How easy it is for people to lie under oath these days!
Perhaps by Tuesday, we shall finally hear the truth when CJ Corona would take the stand in the Senate impeachment court. What happens after that? I surrender it to Divine Providence… after all, God loves us Filipinos and is watching us.

Speaking of a spiritual battle, I would like to believe that this world is already in the midst of this spiritual battle. Didn’t US President Barack Obama just embrace same sex marriage? In France where there were numerous apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, its conservative leadership under Nicolas Sarkozy has been replaced by the pro-gay Francois Hollande. There is no doubt in my mind that many people are turning away from God. Let’s hope that we Filipinos do not get carried away because we are the only Catholic nation that has kept the doctrine of the faith. But for how long?
A month ago, I interviewed a very holy priest, Fr. John Carlo Rosales of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate in a TV show that I entitled, “The 4th Secret of Fatima.” This week, we did a sequel to that show, entitled “Are we now in the end of times?” We did it in time for the 95th anniversary of the first apparition of our Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal. What triggered my curiosity is that our Lady revealed to the children (which Sister Lucia wrote and made public) that the Pope would be climbing up on top of ruins over the dead bodies of martyrs and would be shot and killed.
So the question is… who was that Pope revealed in the 3rd Secret of Fatima? Let me point out that we’re not trying to be an alarmist here. But all this information you can find in the Internet, which is why Fr. Rosales and I discussed it on my TV show. As media missionaries and since it is World Communication Day tomorrow, it is our duty to inform you that there are many signs happening around the world today. But since I don’t have enough space… I will limit this to what was predicted that would happen to the Pope.
St. Pope Pius X (whose name was Giuseppe or Joseph in English) was Pope in (1903-1914) prayed with Franciscan Friars and went into a trance. When he got out of it… he said, “I have seen one of my successors, of the same name, who was fleeing over the dead bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death.” There is no other Pope who is named Joseph, except Pope Benedict XVI.
I suggest that you should also Google St. Malachy, who predicted the last Pope… and in his list Pope Benedict XVI would be the second to the last Pope. St. Malachy’s prophecies are highly accurate. Then there’s the prophecies of the Blessed Elena Aiello (1895-1961) who was declared blessed by Pope Benedict XVI last year. Mama Mary appeared before her and told her, “Russia will march upon all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her flag over the Dome of St. Peter’s. Italy will be severely tried by a great revolution, and Rome will be purified in blood for its many sins, especially those of impurity! The flock is about to be dispersed and the Pope must suffer greatly!” So back to the question, “Is Pope Benedict XVI going to be shot and killed? Is he the second to the last Pope? I suggest you pray before you read those prophecies because they come from Blessed and Holy people.
