"CANTANKEROUS"


TODAY, WHILE READING A NEWSPAPERS, I MEET A NEW WORD THAT IS NOT VERY FAMILIAR TO ME. A WORD THAT IS SELDOM USED BUT VERY POWERFUL TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WITH RESPECT TO HIS OR HER PERSONALITY.

TWO SEASONED AND BRILLIANT FILIPINO SENATORS ARE ODDS WITH EACH OTHER AT THE START OF 2013, SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE AND MIRIAN DEFENSOR SANTIAGO, AN UPCOMING JUDGE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THE WORD WAR BETWEEN THESE TWO STARTED OVER THE SO-CALLED PURPORTED "CHRISTMAS BONUS" ON HIS PART, ACCORDING TO SENATE PRESIDENT ENRILE, HE WAS MALIGNED BY HIS ENEMIES AND CRITICS AND PORTRAY HIM AS A "LIAR" AND "TRAITOR" AND CAST THE SENATE "UNDER THE CLOUD OF SUSPICION AS A HOUSE OF THIEVES."

IN HIS FIGHTING FORM, ENRILE SAID, "HE IS TOO OLD TO BE THREATENED BY ANYONE, LEAST OF ALL COWARDS AND HYPOCRITES." HE EVEN CALLED SENATOR MIRRIAM DEFENSOR SANTIAGO HIS "MOST CANTANKEROUS CRITIC."

CANTANKEROUS - ILL-TEMPERED, QUARRELSOME AND MOST DIFFICULT TO HANDLE CRITICS.

ENRILE STEP DOWN AND DECLARED HIS POST VACANT BUT MAJORITY OF HIS COLLEAGUES REJECT HIS QUIT BID AND RETAIN HIS POST AS SENATE PRESIDENT AND THE NUMBER THREE (3) MOST POWERFUL OFFICIAL OF THE LAND.

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. ...
