"SHINING MOMENT AT 88"

GERONTOPHOBIA IS THE TERM USED FOR FEAR OF GETTING OLD WHICH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF. BUT IT IS INEVITABLE A FACTS OF LIFE THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED, CHANGED OR ALTERED. YES, SCIENCE PROLONGS THE YOUNGER LOOKING OF SOME BUT ONLY FOR A LIMITED EXTENSION OF TIME. THE YOUTH FULLNESS WILL SURELY FADE AWAY. .SOME OLDER PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE LITTLE LEFT AND THEIR LIFE IS NEARING TO DEATH.

BUT THIS IS NOT SO WITH SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE WHO STOOD TALL IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL AGAINST CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONADO CORONA WHO'S RULING UNDENIABLY FAIR TO BOTH PARTY CONCERNED.

AT 88, SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE PROVED TO THE NATION AND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT SENIOR CITIZEN LIKE HIM WILL ALWAYS BE AS SHINNING AS OUR YOUTH OF TODAY.

HE WAS MOLDED BY HIS EXPERIENCE AND WELL CRAFTED BY THE CHANGING TIMES. I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME IN SAYING THAT NOTHING WILL BE LIKE HIM. THIS WILL BE HIS BRIGHTEST MOMENT AT "88" AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF OUR HISTORY.

"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. I wish that this method of fixing broken teapots either made of glass or ceramic can also be applied in our relationship once it was broken into pieces.
