Roger "Bomba" Arrienda was a fiery broadcaster during the Marcos years. He has become a bishop(did our ears betray us?) of a born-again Christian group. His language and speech mannerisms remind me of Heherson Alvarez, the former Ilocano senator from Santiago City. Roger and a born-again Christian physician are discussing two historical events on TV: (a) the Plaza Miranda bombing during a Liberal Party rally (miting de avance); and (b) the death of Cory Aquino.
Roger disclosed what has been known a long time: The Communist Party of the Philippines ordered the bombing that killed several people and wounded scores of others. Ferdinand Marcos had been blamed for the carnage but nobody "apologized" for the error, Roger said.
Corazon Aquino died despite the prayers of the whole nation to cure her of her colon cancer. Why do others in similar circumstances, who have been prayed over, continue to live? The physician's answer: if God decreed you can only live this long, then you have to die at the appointed hour.
So Cory died of her disease because God did not want her to live more than 75 years of age. Living beyond 70 is a bonus from God, the physician said.
