I was watching television late last night and chanced upon this religious show/church service in NBN Channel 4.
The preacher was asking another host:
"Sino itong susunod?"
To which the host replied:
"Isa po siyang katulong, 10 years na po siyang nanonood sa ating programa, nakakapanood lang po siya kapag wala ang mga amo niya. Siya po ay may sakit na insomia".
The preacher called out the woman:
"Halika, lumapit ka. Itaas mo ang mga kamay mo."
The preacher laid his hand on the woman's head and the woman collapsed down, as two persons readily caught her before she hit the floor.
"Itaas niyo siya."
The preacher again laid his hand and the woman collapsed the second time, the two persons again caught her on her back.
"Itaas niyo ulit."
And it happened the third time.
"Itaas niyo ulit", the preacher said.
Then the preacher asked the woman, "Inaantok ka na?"
The woman replied, "Opo".
The preacher said, "Pinagaling ka na ng Panginoon".
As the congregation all clapped their hands.

tee hee hee.
reminds me of a scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. Have you watched it?
super na-alew kasi ako dun sa eksenang a preacher tried to do a miracle to the "reversely aging" Brad Pitt. Natural, dahil bumabata nga yung tao, he can struggle to walk. It ended with the preacher dropping down dead sa excitement ng false miracle nya. Inatake sa puso.
Nice blog you have here.
aba at ka-siyetahan mo pa pala si heckler! :-)
hi chiwee, yeah, i love that part in the movie.
kakatuwa,lalo na nung inatake sa puso yung preacher dahil sa gulat.
thanks for visiting :D
whahaha... tawang tawa ko simula pa lang...
the best...
(inaantok ka na?) nyahahaha
initial reaction ko rin ang tumawa.
pero after a while, naisip ko-nakakalungkot din, bakit may mga taong naloloko ng mga ganitong "himala".
minsan iniisip ko hindi lang academic ang kamangmangan natin. dahil sa kahirapan at kalituhan, sina-shutdown natin ang sense at dignidad natin. kahit anong "himala" pwede na, huwag lang mastuck sa realities ng buhay.
nagpapaloko tayo sa mga miracle workers, sa mga false prophets, sa mga politiko.
siguro dahil gusto ng Pinoy ng mabilisang mga pamamaraan para guminhawa ang buhay.
