One hundred thirteen years ago, our national hero, Jose “Pepe” Rizal wrote about Padre Damaso, a priest who abused his power to oppress the Filipinos. Padre Damaso then validated his hypocrisy through his religion.

Labeled a heretic, Jose Rizal was shot in Luneta for his beliefs.

Today, Padre Damaso continues to live in our priests as the Church continues to wield its influence in legislation, continuing to oppress Filipinos through their religion.

A number of Catholics and a new generation of freethinkers, tired of being silenced and expected to blindly follow the teachings are speaking up about their disappointment and disillusionment.

Pagod na silang maging PIPI at sumunod nang bulag sa simbahan.

OPLAN PEPE encourages Filipinos to confess the sins of their church, a fallible organization of men that does not feel any guilt for violating civil rights by meddling in government affairs.
