JUAN DELA CRUZ INDEBTED P46,240.00

IF I READ IT RIGHT THIS IS WHAT EVERY FILIPINOS OWES DUE TO EXCESSIVE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT BORROWINGS, UNWISE SPENDING AND UNCONTROLLED CORRUPTION.

ACCORDING TO ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB), THE AMOUNT LOST TO CORRUPTION WORLDWIDE HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO REACH $3.61 TRILLION A YEAR.

THE ANTI-CORRUPTION AND INTEGRITY OFFICE OF ADB REPORTED THAT BRIBERY ALONE ACCOUNTS FOR AN ESTIMATED $1 TRILLION A YEAR WORLDWIDE.

PROCEEDS OF CORRUPTION IN BRIBES RECEIVED BY PUBLIC OFFICIALS ARE ESTIMATED TO $20 BILLION TO $40 BILLION PER ANNUM.

RECENTLY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT WAS ROCKED LEFT AND RIGHT BY CORRUPTION CASES EVEN THE SO-CALLED PROTECTOR OF THE PEOPLE, THE ARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES WAS NOT SPARED BY SYSTEMATIZED CORRUPTION SPEARHEADED BY THE ELITE CIRCLE OF GENERALS.

KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE VARIOUS LOANS ARE INTENDED FOR REDUCING POVERTY AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIVING OF MR. JUAN DELA CRUZ.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER. I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY.

This practice started way, way back in the 15th Century when Japanese Military Commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa accidentally broke one of his favorite Chinese tea pot. (picture taken from BBC Arts Get Creative) Because he loves so much the tea pot, Commander Yoshimasa went to repair shop to get it fixed.But he was dismay over the result. From then on, Japanese Craftsmen come up with more pleasing method of repair. As you can see it from the illustration above and because of the treatment and application being applied no trace of evidence that it was formerly broken into pieces.
