It’s barely 2 weeks before Holy Week and again it’s fitting that I should be posting this today.  I’m so excited for the Holy Week break because for us broadcasters it’s the only break we have for the entire year.  We don’t have Christmas or New Year, so Holy Week is definitely something we look forward to.  I remember the only Holy Week that had television was the Good Friday that Rico Yan died.  What was supposed to be a silent holy day became abuzz with the tragic news.
