I am raising some funds to help a long lost friend that I found during one of those routine assistance to the indigents in Payatas. She was my classmate in high school ad used to be very beautiful. Her luck turned out bad after about 5 years of being a japayuki. Now she's in bad shape wallowing in extreme poverty. She needed help but my meager salary as a social worker could'nt be sufficiently shared as I also have obligations. I found this opportunity in the internet that pays some money just f… Continue

(These figures come from a pricing model developed by Energy Consultant Marcial Ocampo.) At those prices, I will have to shelve plans to tour the country by car –visiting long unseen rela… Continue

Susie Barbieri Why are we Hungry?

This is so touching and profound written by my favorite author: F. Sionil: WHY ARE WE HUNGRY? HINDSIGHT By F Sionil Jose May 26 2008, Philippine Star Recently, in Quezon City , long lines of our countrymen bought kilo packages of government subsidized rice. It’s been ages since such lines formed, during those three years of the Japanese Occupation when we bought a pack of Akebono cigarettes, rice, or rations of cloth. The rice crisis today brings to our immediate consciousness how a ban… Continue

Arlene Sulat Galing Sa Ating Mga Magulang

Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensiyahan. Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan. Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sinisigawan mo ako. Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng "binge!" paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat nalang. Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako. Kapag mahina n… Continue

This would divert the attention from the investigations on the many scandals the government leaders are in today.

Deborah Y. Quinto Our Bodidly Resurrection - 1 Cor. 15:20-26

*Our bodily resurrection is directly related to God's purpose for mankind. Adam and Eve's disobedience led to a spiritual death and resulted in three consequences: separation from God, corruption of man's nature, and spiritual condemnation unto death. However, just as death came through one man, Adam, eternal life comes to us through another Man - the Lord Jesus Christ. The spiritual condemnation that was once ours was settled at Calvary's cross. It was there that Jesus took on Himself the sin… Continue
