If those bunch of religious fanatics in the United States are right on the nose, then call this the last column I would be writing because they say that tomorrow is Judgment Day, the day of the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ and therefore, for all intents and purposes, God forbid, it is the end of the world! But can we believe these religious fanatics?

She applies the miracle cream, supposedly over a period of several weeks, and presto! The camera splits in two, showing her arm with the scar, and the other half, purportedly the same arm, this time, without any trace of the scar. Amazing!

Let’s hope her ignominious fall will serve as a warning to others planning to cheat people of their hard-earned money. And let’s hope this latest string of scandals involving fraudulent investment schemes will mean fewer gullible Filipinos.
