RIGHT FOR A HABITAT


THE PREAMBLE OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS SAYS, "THE RECOGNITION OF THE INHERENT DIGNITY AND OF THE EQUAL  AND INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF ALL MEMBERS OF HUMAN FAMILY IS THE FOUNDATION OF FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND PEACE IN THE WORLD."

IT WAS ALSO STATED THERE THAT, "IT IS VERY ESSENTIAL IF MAN IS NOT TO BE COMPELLED TO HAVE RECOURSE, AS A LAST RESORT, TO REBELLION AGAINST TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION, THAT HUMAN RIGHTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE RULE OF LAW."

VARIOUS GROUPS AND ORGANIZATION LODGED THEIR PETITION TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO REAFFIRM THE HUMAN RIGHTS TO ADEQUATE HOUSING.  HOUSING IS A RIGHT OF EVERY HUMAN.

WE HAVE STILL PLENTY OF LANDS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO SOCIAL HOUSING. EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS ARE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING HOUSING FOR ITS DWELLERS. THIS WILL BE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR INFORMAL SETTLERS SPROUTING IN THE CITY.

FROM THE SENATORS DOWN TO BARANGAY CAPTAINS THEY HAVE SO-CALLED DEVELOPMENT FUNDS THAT WERE USED UNWISELY AND INDISCRIMINATELY. EVEN SK OR SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN CHAIRMAN HAVE THIS. 

EVEN TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THIS DEVELOPMENT FUNDS WERE USED FOR HOUSING, WE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WILL NEVER BEGGED TO OTHER NATIONS TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR OUR PEOPLE.

OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS  ENJOYING THIS BASIC RIGHTS AND HAVE MORE HOUSES, WHILE THEIR CONSTITUENTS DEPRIVED THE RIGHT FOR A DECENT HABITAT.

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. ...
