MANILA (Reuters) - A Roman Catholic bishop in the Philippines on Wednesday urged the faithful to stay away from American pop singer Madonna's two-night concert in Manila, calling her music "suggestive" and her clothes "vulgar".
Madonna, 57, is on a world tour to promote her 13th studio album, "Rebel Heart", which combines her trademark sexually charged performance and lyrics.
She performs on Wednesday and Thursday in the same hall where Pope Francis met Filipino families a year ago. Tonight With Boy Abunda drama available here.
"Why is the Catholic Philippines the favorite venue for blasphemy against God and the Holy Mother?" asked Ramon Arguelles, archbishop of Lipa City, south of the capital.
"Pinoys and all God-loving people should avoid sin and occasions of sin," he said in a statement on the website of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, referring to Filipinos.
Vending machines have been worked out at the maximum so that everyone can go but almost everything from them. Snacks, beverages, sanitary napkins, and all you'll ever need. How about water? As we all need water everywhere we go, they are made available to us through a bottle or dropping by the nearest eatery and have at least a glass of it.
While we all know that getting bottled water from a vending machine is easy, getting them life getting a cup of coffee is unimaginable. Available blog Pinoy channel
Through the great mind of a Filipino inventor by the name of Teodulo Bergado, a lot are not enjoying the Filipino version of ATM or Automatic Tubig Machine". This works as an automatic water station, where all you have to do is insert one peso coin and put your container right where the water automatically flows. And there, you already can now drink your water. According to the inventor, his water business encouraged him to come up with the ATM and became interested in how to help his customers pay less for his water. His solution of inventing this unique water machine helped on saving electricity as well as giving people the chance to purchase water at an affordable price.
The Automatic Tubig Machines use tap water and purify them along the process to dispense a clean and safe, purified drinking water. The inventor himself designed the machine in such a way that it would work like the original vending machines and give services as much as the other ones do. This is like fetching water in the traditional "igiban" of Pinoys, where they would need to bring their bottles and get water from the machine. After years of inventing just a very few of these machines for observation, Bergardo has now a lot of finished products and started to franchise the business nationwide.
This water machine is just another product of Filipino creativity and resourcefulness as we go through the modern and easy living. Surely, this will become a hip across the country and might also be available to other countries. With another great mind from the country, it's more fun in the Philippines!
