"TAHANANG DE KARITON" - A HOUSE MADE OF IMPROVISED WAGON

I WAS DRAFTING AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL PENALIZE THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN FOR LEAVING THEM UNATTENDED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN I PASS BY AND SAW A FATHER AND MOTHER WITH THEIR TWO (2) CHILDREN INSIDE AN IMPROVISED WAGON.PARKED AT THE BUSY STREET.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE IMPROVISED WAGON IS VERY SPECIAL TO THE FAMILY BECAUSE IT SERVES AS THEIR HOME ASIDE FROM USING IT AS CARRIAGE OF THEIR COMMODITIES; CARTOONS, EMPTY PLASTIC BOTTLES AND WHATEVER SCRAPS THEY CAN SELL TO THE JUNK SHOP.

I APPROACHED THEM AND ASKED THE MOTHER IF I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM. THE MOTHER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND I WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO TAKE PICTURES.

THE CHILDREN WERE BOTH SICK MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER (RAINY SEASON) OR BECAUSE OF THEIR LIVING CONDITION. THE BYSTANDERS PROMISED TO GIVE MEDICINES FOR HER CHILDREN.

I TOLD THE MOTHER THAT I WILL FEATURE THEM IN MY BLOG. WITHOUT PROMISING ANYTHING, I SAID, WHO KNOWS ONE DAY MY GENEROUS READERS WILL TRY TO HELP THEM.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING THEM, YOU CAN CONTACT ME OR EMAIL ME AT valsarte04@gmail.com.

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. ...
