Wall Clock

I would like to share this story from the homily I heard this morning.
When Juan dela Cruz (not his real name) died, he met St. Peter in heaven.
Because Juan is new in the place, St. Peter invited Juan to go to the different countries.
As they moved around, Juan noticed that that were a number of wall clocks representing each country.
Some wall clocks have very fast hands, while the others have very slow hands.
Juan asked St Peter why the hands of the different clocks do not move on the same speed.
St. Peter said that those countries that have wall clocks that move fast have so much sinners, while those countries that have slow moving wall clocks have less sinners.
Juan said, "Ah, OK."
But there is something else that Juan also have noticed. There was no wall clock for his country.
St. Peter asked Juan where he came from, and Juan told St. Peter that he came from the Philippines.
St. Peter said that he kept the wall clock for the Philippines in his room.
Juan got more amazed, so he again asked St. Peter.
And St. Peter said that he made the wall clock for the Philippines as his favorite electric fan.
