“Oh gad I expected it to happen but I am still devastated after the credits rolled! John Denver Trending should be a required viewing for all Filipinos especially in these cruel times where truth has become a stranger concept. Fake news roam the country with our very own president as the proud bearer. AAAAAAAGGGGHHHH I am deeply enraged by this like a fire is burning up inside me. I want to cry and shout at the same time as I think about the poor John Denvers of the Philippines and the world. I want to throw the chair in front of me and make the school, administration, police, or anyone accountable for the INJUSTICE that I just watched. AAAAHGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!nJohn Denver Trending may seem like an isolated view of a small town but the harsh reality is that it accurately represents what have the Philippine society become. Youu0026#39;d think that more access to information will empower the people to be more critical and empathetic but we are firsthand witnesses how it became a weapon to cultivate hate and violence. The Philippines as one of the largest predominantly Catholic nation in the world? What a joke! We love hearing and even preaching Godu0026#39;s word but everything is just a futile and fake act to save our asses from hell. Letu0026#39;s be honest that the majority of Filipinos is only a Catholic when itu0026#39;s convenient. We jump at the first chance we get to wreak chaos just because itu0026#39;s misaligned with our cult-like beliefs. We advocate inhumane and bad leaders and thatu0026#39;s enough to prove how hypocritical our morality is. Catholicism was amazingly depicted in one of the most shattering scenes where we see the Mother leaving the school while a song for Mama Mary is played. That was painful and beautiful imagery of how mob mentality killed Jesus and how much he was loved by his mother. We just love repeating u0026#39;historyu0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy gad this went out of hand haha. I know that Iu0026#39;m supposed to review this remarkable film but I ended up ranting. Iu0026#39;ll be ending this note with high praises to Direk Arden, Jansen, and Meryll cozu0026#39; that was one of simple best films Iu0026#39;ve watched. And Iu0026#39;m still uncontrollably raging.”
