Gentes Inocentes

Procession of Sto Nino images in Pasig, also know as the Bambino Festival


In Catholic Philippines, January is the month dedicated to the Infant Jesus or the Santo Nino. During this period, various activities, especially processions are held in honor of the Santo Nino.

I prefer not to comment on how people express their devotion to this Catholic figure but what I am curious to know though is how some people can reconcile their devotion to the Santo Nino with their  rabid support for a leader who thinks that innocent children dying in the war on drugs are merely collateral damage.
