MANILA, Dec. 5, 2011—A former lawmaker appealed to Filipinos to live the true spirit of patriotism by upholding the rights of the family and the country and rejecting the foreign-backed reproductive (RH) bill that has been dividing the nation. “[The RH bill] will mean the total surrender of our national sovereignty, for it is not of Filipino origin. Nor is it meant to strengthen or enrich the culture, character and conscience of the Filipinos. It is dictated by foreign population controllers using so many of our unfortunate countrymen as proxies and cats’ paws,” former Senator Francisco “Kit” Tatad stated during a Cebu pro-life conference in November. In a separate interview, Atty. Jo Aurea Imbong, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Legal Office reiterated the foreign origins of the P13.7 billion-legislative measure that mandates taxpayer-funded, government-promoted procurement and distribution of birth control supplies, and provision of s...

T here is a large collection of Catholic blogs in one of the blogsites of the blogspot maintained by someone named Andrea based on the work of Gen X Revert. This is an extensive work. However, I would like also to make my own based on the said collection. yes, I could send all the materials through them but it is also good to note that the work of catholics and our thoughts could also enlighten one another. My primary purpose is to make a directory of the collection of blogs by priest. It is also a way of understanding catholic priests if you could read their thoughts, not only the doctrines that we hold.

In some way or another, the firm and impact of certain policies varies because of the personality but it does not change it. It's firmness differs. There are also some policies base on each dioceses, congregation and parishes. It depends upon the situation. Much is w...

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.

SPIRITUALITY OF THE “CRUMBS” Homily of Archbishop Gaudencio B. Rosales Launching of Pondo ng Pinoy Community Foundation, Inc. Folk Arts Theater, Roxas Boulebard, Pasay City 11 June 2004 9:00 a.m. WHAT IS PONDO ng PINOY? The Situation Today Manila has more than half of its population as poor (52% to be exact). The Makati, Mandaluyong and Ortigas skylines and the many condominium complexes around may not have the intention to deceive, but they certainly conceal the true state of life for more than one-half of the country’s people. The GDPs and GNPs do not tell the true picture and stories of our less fortunate brothers and sisters. These economic indicators always speak of averages. The poor cannot eat economic product “averages” no matter how well they are prepared. All told the unassailable story of the Philippine economy is revealed daily at the meal plates (if they still use plates) of families in the slums, shacks, cardboard homes and makeshift sheds you see in Metro Manila (a...
