Are You A Pontius Pilate Blogger?
No no, it has nothing to do with washing your hands before blogging. But that’s a good practice too. “Health brings wealth” I always say. What exactly is a Pontius Pilate blogger? Well, just in time for the Holy Week here in the Philippines, the Pontius Pilate blogger is someone who does not edit his…
