SOCCER, PHILIPPINE RISING SPORT

THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT THRU THE OFFICE OF VICE MAYOR JOY BELMONTE LAUNCHED STREET SOCCER. JOINING FORCES WITH HER IS COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA OF THE SECOND DISTRICT OF QUEZON CITY IN COORDINATION WITH URBAN OPPORTUNITIES FOUNDATION AND TEAM PHILIPPINES

FOR THE WORLD HOMELESS CUP INSTILLING IN THE MINDS OF THE CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORT.

THIS IS ONE THE BASIC FOOTBALL EXERCISES DONE ON THE SIDELINE DURING THE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES BETWEEN TEAMS FROM DIFFERENT BARANGAYS IN DISTRICT II WHICH ARE TRAINED UNDER THE OFFICE OF COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA.

COUNCILOR ALY MEDALLA, BELIEVES THAT THE VALUES ONE CAN LEARN THROUGH SPORTS CAN BE ADAPTED IN REAL LIFE. DURING THE CULMINATING ACTIVITY WHICH WAS TELEVISED PARTLY BY GMA 7, COMPETING STREET SOCCER TEAMS FROM BARANGAY PAYATAS, NAGKAISANG NAYON, STA. MONICA, GULOD AND FAIRVIEW DEMONSTRATED THE NEW SKILLS THEY LEARNED IN THIS SPORT.

I JUST HOPE THAT QUEZON CITY ELECTED OFFICIALS LIKE COUNCILOR ALY MEDALLA WILL CONCENTRATE MORE IN EMPOWERING OUR CHILDREN BY PROVIDING A MASS BASED SPORTS LIKE THIS ONE,

IF THEY WILL CONTINUE DOING THIS, AN ACCORDION EFFECT WILL BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHICH IN THE LONG RUN WILL BENEFIT OUR NATION. I AM COUNTING THE DAYS THAT THE PHILIPPINES WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS A POWER HOUSE IN SOCCER.

"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. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG". THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.

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.
