"Mama Mary" trends after barely appearing on a tarp she shared with politicians

Priest and social media personality Fr. Fiel Pareja was left out of words over a photo of politicians appearing on a tarpaulin meant to celebrate The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

“I am speechless,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Again, why?” he added in a separate tweet.

The tarp in question showed four Malabon officials all wearing uniform polo shirts and flashing a common hand sign. The Blessed Virgin Mary’s photos, on the other hand, were faded behind the text greeting, almost blending with the background. 

Below the tarp were the names of Councilor Enzo Oreta, Mayor Lenlen Oreta, Congressman Jaye Lacson-Noel, and Vice Mayor Ninong dela Cruz.
 

Netizens react

Fr. Fiel’s tweet has since gone viral. “Mama Mary” even trended on Twitter Philippines. 

Here’s what netizens are saying:

Para paraan din talaga. Kawawa talaga ang Pilipinas at mga tao kung mga ganito ang mga namumuno.

Dami pa yan Father. Every occasion meron, pati pagkabit ng street lights, dapat may tarps. pic.twitter.com/fZlMxdYALk
