JUNE BRIDE

AS I PASS BY, I SAW A GROUP OF PEOPLE DISCUSSING ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF MARRIAGE. SOME MEMBERS OF THE GROUP SAYS THAT MARRIAGE OR WEDDING DONE IN THE CHURCH IS MUCH MUCH BETTER COMPARED TO THE MARRIAGE OR WEDDING DONE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH OR ADMINISTERED BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SUCH AS MAYORS AND JUDGES. 





BUT MARRIAGE WHETHER OFFICIATED BY A PRIEST OR OTHER AUTHORIZED RELIGIOUS PERSONALITIES OR BY CIVIL AUTHORITIES HAS THE SAME WEIGHT AND EFFICACY. MARRIAGE WILL REMAIN THE MOST POWERFUL COVENANT IN THE WORLD TODAY.





THIS MONTH OF JUNE, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFICIATE FREE MASS WEDDING SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR RAMON P. MEDALLA, DUBBED AS THE NINONG NG BAYAN, CO-SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR GIAN CARLO SOTTO AND VICE MAYOR JOY BELMONTE. ONE IN BARANGAY PAYATAS AND THE OTHER ONE IS IN BARANGAY COMMONWEALTH BOTH BARANGAYS BELONG TO THE 2ND DISTRICT OF QUEZON CITY.







NO OTHER HUMAN RELATIONSHIP CAN GO AS DEEPLY AS THE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP. MARRIAGE HAS THE POWER TO BRING UNTOLD JOY AND HAPPINESS. AS SOME BRIDES CHARACTERIZE THEMSELVES IN INTENSE EXCITEMENT AND HAPPINESS. IN SHORT THEY ARE IN EUPHORIC STATE. 






MARRIAGE CAN ALSO BRING PAIN, HEARTACHE, GRIEF AND SORROW. THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE ALL ALONE AND ISOLATED WITH ALL THE FRUSTRATION IN LIFE.





BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE MARRIAGE IS ABOUT GOD. MARRIAGE IS A LIVING PICTURE OF CHRIST LOVE FOR THE CHURCH. "HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES AS CHRIST LOVE THE CHURCH", AND "WIVES SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS AS THE CHURCH SUBMITS TO CHRIST."

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY,  AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE  AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.  I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...

Urban Reforestation

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL.  I NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO FIGHT THIS STRANGE FEELING WITHIN ME AND CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN. I BELIEVE MY READERS ARE VERY EAGER ANTICIPATING MY NEXT ARTICLE.. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH. DURING MY CHILDHOOD, MY FATHER AND I AS WELL AS THE OTHER SIBLINGS ARE ARMED WITH BOLOS CUTTING SMALL TREES, CLEARING THE WEEDS AND LATER ON BURNED THE SITE IN PREPARATION FOR PLANTING SEASON WERE CROPS LIKE PALAY AND CORN WERE PLANTED. THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED THE "KAINGIN SYSTEM" AND WERE CALLED  THE "KAINGENEROS".  WE WERE NEVER INFORMED DURING THAT TIME THIS SYSTEM OR PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL AND HARMFUL TO ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF SMALL AN...
