Where else but in the Philippines can an ousted ex-president accused of massive corruption be temporarily excused from lawful incarceration to indulge in a “spiritual healing” ritual? Apparently he had to do the Stations of the Cross, bathe in the miraculous water of the healing spring, drink a glass of the stuff while saying Jesus’ name, then hold the hand of a Jesus statue while he prayed. The rite was administered by nuns of the Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVN).

Does anything about this strike you as being wrong?
