Jn. 10:27-30 Our Gospel today speaks of the relationship of the shepherd and his sheep. And I believe that this is the model that any relationship should emulate. every relationship , in some way or another has a reflection of sheep-shepherd model, there is always somebody who guides and been guided by. If Christ is our Good Shepherd, we as his sheep should also be like Him - good. How can we be. Jesus Christ clearly speak it up. There are three important factors that we should not forget. 1. Hearing. We should listen to our Good shepherd. faith comes first by hearing. God speaks to us in many ways, we must know how to listen. Last Sunday, I have announced of the candidates forum on the local level here in our town, simply because it will help you to listen to their political platforms. So that you might know who is the right person for the position. However, it was unfortunates that it was canceled. I canceled it through the recommendation of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsib...

The Parish Pastoral Council have intensified its drive for the recruitment of volunters. We want to raise the volunters from the fifty persons to 141. The municipality has 141 precints to be watched during the election scattered among its villages. Some prospects are asking for a fee just like the watchers of political candidates. Sorry, but this one is free, a volunter. Others are afraid of the violatile situation of the local nominees. They do not want to be identified because other political parties are also recruiting them. Some political parties technique is to get as many poll watchers because it could secure them their votes. We are also in need of financial resources. We need to fed these volunters for a day's work, some even will stay more for the counting of ballots. We need also bottled waters. Late that afternoon, I also met the members of young professional who are in-charge of Marian devotion during may in offering flowers to Mary and asking for her intercession. One ...

A video taken from the correspondents as an investigative study on the work and benifits of a senator in the Philippines. How much is the monthly salary of a senator? What is pork barrel? How much does a senator receives in senatorial pork barrel? What is lobbying? Are all senators accepts their pork barrel? These are just some of the question which this video would like to answer on this segment. I just hope that all Filipinos will be politically mature enough to vote for public officials. I also pray that all public officials who will win this coming election will care enough for the Filipinos. To serve this country above self and family. This is a slide presentation of the profiles of the senatorial candidates. Additional information on their tract record.

Grace, Josie, Marybe along with their respective husbands and wives have decided to treat her with a simple celebration. I brought lechon, buko pie, and sinukmani, the rest were shared by my brother and sisters. I brought the lechon from Laguna because the last time we had our lechon , it was not tasty at all and crispy. To be able to buy something which they will not forget, I brought it from a respected lechonista of pansol, Calamba, Laguna. I have also to buy a car carrier to bring it to Marikina. john was furious then when I told him of my plan to buy nanny a lechon as a present simply because it will leave a stain and odor to the car. So I decided to buy a carrier. Though it was not a part of the budget. I have to find some means to buy it before the said date. We drop at Binan which is famous in installing car accessories. I was hoping to find a carrier that ne...

Pinoy Directory I am painstakingly trying to include this site on Pinoy directory. I find some difficulty on the word verification section. Are my eyes no longer functioning well. Yes, I have to go to the optometrist to get my eyeglasses. I really do not know if my submission is successful because there is no message I received after I sent it for the last time instead the form re appers without the blog name and the description. While the other fields I have filled up remained. I would like to share also the advisory on Twitters. This was posted in one of my threads, I am following. Posted by Jim Ayson. Here it is: A note of caution to the Twitterholics out there. Remember that your public tweets are not as ephemeral as instant messages. They can be as permanent as blog posts - they are archived and can be retrieved by anybody, so be prepared to reap the consequences of what you might think are just inconsequential ramblings.

One of the Program of the Parish is the quarterly, dental and medical check up. Today it was handled by the Lectors and Commentator's Guild to facilitate the said program. It was been discussed in the previous meeting that to familiarized with the work on the matters of social concern. It should be the work of only one group who will specialized on that field because rotating it on all the existing organization will require a lot of work from all. All organization will start from the scratch, and before they could handle the same project they might not be around to do it. Since we have 30 organizations. So it is better that one group will host the said event with the cooperation all the members of the Parish Pastoral Council. I have asked the Catholics Womens' League if they have enough strength do undertake the said project. They have responded positively which is also very in alignment with the thrust of their apostolate, social action. We would like to thank all those concer...

I was been invited by Mr. R estituto Alip , the founder and chairman of Card in his 50 th birthday that he celebrated in Tranca , Bay Laguna today. We celebrated the Mass for the said intention. It is just coincidence that my homily focus on good governance as Peter has given the instruction to feed the lambs of our Jesus Christ after Christ's resurrection. The challenge lies on feeding the lambs as part of the responsibility. In doing so we have to cast our nets in the right side of the boat as the instruction the apostles received. To become good leader we have to take note the pronouncement of the church particularly of CBCP concerning the Ten Commandments of Rigth Voting and recently the 6 Criteria of a Good leader, we have to chose especially this coming election. * A person who loves and fears God * One who is guided by a well-formed conscience, always sensitive to the choice of what is good * One who lives and serves consistently with moral principles * One who i...

The United opposition slate headed by candidate for governor along with his followers and fellow candidates of the same party asked for the celebration of the Mass for the success of their campaign and for the peaceful May election. many also attended the celebration, but the church was not full packed. They have not even been able to secure all the pews of the Church. Some have asked me if it is possible to hold a Eucharistic Celebration with the success of election result in the favor of a party. Presumable the one who asked the question belongs to the contender candidate. I replied, yes, of course because anybody could ask God to be the winner of the election. I aslo told the inquirer that the other party could also offer the celebration of the Eucharist. And since it is this party that asked for prayers, I will attend to their need. However it is to God who will grant the said petition. Going back to the celebration of the Mass. During the homily I told the faithful that in the Gos...

Fr, Jun Olaso came to visit me to inform me that the Diocesan Commission on Church Construction of which he is a member and the former director decided that the Parish of St. Augustine will be the venue for the first ever forum of Church Architecture and design to be held on May 16 2007, From 8:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon. I am happy to the idea that the diocesan commissions are working already on this matter especially now that the controversial renovation of Cathedral altar has cause an uproar from different sectors. The controversy is based on the letter sent to all parish priest before the reshuffle of assignments sign by Fr. Marasigan , the Director of Diocesan Church Construction and of the bishop of San Pablo, Bishop Leo Drona. The Summary of the content of the letter are two: 1. Moratorium of all major church construction for the period of six months the reshuffle of assignments 2. If there was an undergoing construction that has started before the reshuffle is...
