Yes. The incident is real, and it raises an important cybersecurity concern for the Philippines as well. The news you heard about is a cyberattack on supermarket refrigerators and freezers in Europe, reported on November 2–3, 2026. 1. What exactly happened? Hackers remotely gained access to computer systems controlling supermarket refrigeration equipment. These systems normally allow technicians to monitor and adjust temperatures without physically visiting each supermarket. The attackers apparently manipulated the controls, including activating defrost settings and raising temperatures. In some stores, freezers reportedly reached 50°C (122°F). As a result, food that should have remained frozen or refrigerated spoiled and had to be thrown away. AP News+2 This was not simply someone hacking a refrigerator's Wi-Fi. It was an attack on the computerised control systems managing commercial refrigeration equipment. 2. Which countries were affected? The incidents reported on November ...

Lucas 14:25-33 - The Cost of Discipleship This is the Gospel for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother... and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." - Lk 14:26-27 1. Introduction - The Crowd Problem My dear brothers and sisters, Luke tells us: "Great crowds were traveling with Jesus." They were fascinated, excited, following because of the miracles, the healings, the free bread. And Jesus turns around and says something that sounds terrible: You must hate your father and mother. You must renounce everything. Why? Because Jesus does not want fans. He wants disciples. A fan follows when it is convenient. A disciple follows to the Cross. 2. What Does "Hate" Mean? A Common Misconception to Correct In our Hebrew way of speaking, "to hate" does not mean to despise. It is a Semitic expression of prefe...

Juan 14:1-6 — All Souls Day Juan 14:1-6 — "May Kwarto Sila sa Langit" Gospel na ito, hindi pang-libing lang. Pang-huling gabi ni Jesus ito. Last Supper. Alam Niya papatayin Siya kinabukasan. At ang mga alagad — gulong-gulo, takot, lito. Kaya ang unang linya, para sa kanila, pero para rin sa atin ngayon na nakatayo sa harap ng puntod:   "Huwag kayong mabalisa. Manalig kayo sa Diyos, manalig din kayo sa Akin." Sa Greek, Me tarassestho hymon he kardia — "Huwag hayaang maalog ang puso ninyo." Ang tarasso — parang tubig na hinahalo, parang lindol. Ganun ang puso natin tuwing All Souls — maalog. Lalo na pag sariwa pa. Isang taon pa lang. 40 days pa lang. At anong sagot ni Jesus? Hindi explanation. Hindi theology ng kamatayan. Kundi invitation: 1. MAY BAHAY — "Sa bahay ng Aking Ama ay maraming silid." Sa panahon ni Jesus, kapag ikakasal ang lalaki, babalik siya sa bahay ng ama niya at  agtatayo ng addition — ng kwarto para sa bagong pamilya. Kaya...

Mateo 5:1-12a — All Saints Day,  — November 1. Mateo 5:1-12a — "Ang ID ng mga Santo" Kapag All Saints Day, anong naiisip natin? Mga santo na nasa altar — nakaputing damit, may halo, hawak na palaspas, malayo, hindi maabot. Pero bakit binasa ng Simbahan ang Beatitudes sa Araw ng mga Santo? Hindi ba dapat yung mga milagro nila? Hindi ba dapat yung kabayanihan? Hindi. Binasa ang Beatitudes kasi ito ang ID, ang resume, ang mukha ng santo. At tandaan: Hindi ito 8 different kinds of saints. Ito ay 8 mukha ng iisang santo. Sa Bundok — Bagong Moises. "Nang makita ni Jesus ang makapal na tao, umakyat Siya sa bundok... at nagturo." Sa Mateo, kapag nasa bundok si Jesus — bagong Moises Siya. Si Moises umakyat sa Sinai para ibigay ang 10 utos — batas na nakasulat sa bato. Si Jesus umakyat sa bundok para ibigay ang 8 Beatitudes — batas na nakasulat sa puso. At ang unang salita: "Mapalad" — Makarios sa Greek, Ashre sa Hebrew — hindi "swerte." Hindi ...
