That gosh darn gummint overreach impinging on religious freedoms, I tell you…
Ruben Enaje, 59, a house and billboard painter, regularly took on the role of Jesus Christ in “Via Crucis” (Way of the Cross), the play staged on the streets of Cutud.
But local officials have asked Enaje and other penitents to drop the crucifixion rites after President Duterte ordered a stop to the gathering of people in big numbers to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Enaje said he would just carry a 37-kilogram wooden cross from his house to the hill on Good Friday.
This would’ve been Ruben’s 34th time doing this. So hey, if he can adjust to social distancing, YOU can adjust to social distancing.
Happy Good Friday anyway…
