Here are manifestations, cries, and pleadings that show just how sick we are as the Sick Man of Asia. Indeed, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverb 22:6

Christianity finds sickness necessary – the actual ulterior purpose of the whole system of salvation is to keep society sick with childish pursuits, childish values, if not to remain perpetually childish in misery, squalor, and in poverty.
The difference between a Pinoy and a Pinay is that the Pinoy is sick with childish lies, but the Pinay is sick with childish deceptions. Thus, thanks to our beliefs and values based upon holy bible teachings we continue to remain not only as the only Christian country in Asia, but also famous as the Sick Man of Asia.
In the meantime, after more than 400 years, we still say daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly this prayer: “Holy Many, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.”
