ReplyDeleteI am not gonna comment on the cebuano part coz I really cannot understand it but the Enlish part...Pardon me my catholic friends but it's very clear but your church defender Mr. Ramon Gitamondoc pretends that he knows Greek but can't even answer the simplest question. He keeps on shouting words and no matter how hard I tried adjusting my computer's audio settings, I really cannot understand it, what more to those inside the coliseum? How I wish there's a whole video of this debate with caption below...I can't imagine what the caption when Mr. Ramon Gitamondoc speaks will look like.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Brother Joe and Brother Ramil.
Sir, just a correction. It was Ramon Gitamondoc that did the 1st stand defending Peter as the first pope. And It was Alvin Gitamondoc that did the 2nd stand on the negative side of the proposition that Bro. Felix Manalo is the messenger of God in these last days. :)
