The Change We Wanted

Change is coming! this is the magic word that put Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte to Presidency. People are tired of empty promises. The People's Money are sufficient enough to finance various projects and services of the government if use wisely and properly. But because of corruption, the best projects, the best education, the best health care services, the best social security services, the generation and creation of jobs, and a promise of a better life were not delivered and as a result poor Juan Dela Cruzes are still  bed-ridden in poverty.

It is true that change is not easy and it must come from all of us but it will start from them. I hope the President and his trusted men that holds powerful and sensitive positions in the government will realize the "PROMISE" they made to the people.


The President made mention of the erosion of people's trust and confidence in government was the real problem that confronts them. The three branches of the government namely, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary failed to make the people's lives better, safer and healthier.

May this video of his first speech reminds him and his men that they were there solely for this purposes and should not be sidetracked by different criticisms hurled against them. Their time and energy must not be consumed firing back against their critics but rather geared towards a worthwhile endeavors for the good of the entire nation.

The President said and I quote, " I know the limit of the power and authority of the President.. and he also knows what is legal and was is not." The rule of law is uncompromising. Mind your work and I will mind mine. For me, this is an excellent part of his speech. Reminding himself and the other branches of the government as well as other institutions that they have obligation to the public.

The life that is better, safer and healthier is all we wanted Mr. President!

"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.

WHAT HAS BEEN BROKEN IS BROKEN

"Nothing is ever truly broken". That is the philosophy behind the ancient Japanese Arts of Kintsugi, which repairs smashed pottery by using beautiful seams of gold. 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.
