DISPARITY

ONE MORNING, I AND MY FRIEND WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE MY BOSS  WERE EXCHANGING IDEAS ABOUT THE GREAT DISPARITY BETWEEN THE POOR AND THE RICH, THOSE WHO HOLD POWER AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT AND THE KIND OF TREATMENT ACCORDED TO THEM.

FOR THE SAKE OF ILLUSTRATION I WILL CITE THE CASE OF FORMER MILITARY COMPTROLLER LIGOT WHO AMASSED HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE EXACT 740 MILLION IN THE SPAN OF FOUR YEARS AS AFP COMPTROLLER.

ONLY YESTERDAY, THE SENATE  ARRESTED HIM AND PUT HIM UNDER SENATE HOUSE ARREST. NOT FOR GRAFT AND CORRUPTION CASE BUT FOR NOT SHOWING UP TO SENATE INQUIRY.

BUT AN ORDINARY JUAN DELA CRUZ, WHO OUT OF HIS NEEDS  SHOP LIFT AND WAS CAUGHT IMMEDIATELY HE IS PUT BEHIND BARS EVEN BEFORE THE RIAL OF HIS CASE.


BUT GRAFT AND CORRUPTION IS NOT ONLY CATEGORIZE AS STEALING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY BUT ROBBING THEM IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND YET THEY ARE FREE AS A BIRD AND RECEIVE A SPECIAL TREATMENT AS COMPARED TO POOR JUAN DELA CRUZ WHO ONLY STEAL OUT OF HIS NEEDS BUT RECEIVE HARSH TREATMENT.


RAMON MAGSAYSAY,ONE PHILIPPINE PAST PRESIDENT ONCE SAID: "THOSE WHO HAVE LESS IN LIFE MUST HAVE MORE IN LAWS." IT WAS RE=ECHOED BY PRESIDENT NOYNOY AQUINO DURING THE 65TH UNITED NATION GENERAL ASSEMBLY.


I HOPE THIS GREAT DISPARITY BETWEEN THE POOR AND THE RICH WILL BE GIVEN ATTENTION  BY THE PHILIPPINES LAW MAKING BODY AND THE POLICY MAKING BODY OF OTHER COUNTRIES.


GOING BACK TO MY MORNING CONVERSATION WITH MY BOSS, HE SAID: "THIS THING ONLY HAPPENS IN THE PHILIPPINES."


INDEED IT IS ANOTHER WAKE UP CALL FOR  OUR LAWMAKERS AND FOR THE ENTIRETY OF OUR GOVERNMENT FROM THE TOP DOWN TO THE BOTTOM.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

"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. ...
