Rizal Day, Dec.30, 2011

Started the day by attending the Rizal Province morning rites to honor Jose Rizal on his 115th year of his martyrdom. Met the Provincial Officials whom we have been assisting develop an International Rizal Shrine in Talim Island.

Afterwards, I attended the dedication of the Alagad ni Maria Seminary's St. Joseph Oratory, also in Antipolo, with the religious community and friends.Big lunch after the dedication and Mass.

This afternoon, some close friends joined me at home to celebrate the 71st birthday of our departed Norman Bramble, our first get-together since he passed on in August 2008. Our last gathering was his birthday in 2007. Wonderful reunion and great celebration.

Thanking God for all His blessings & challenges for 2011 & asking for strength to remain a faithful servant in 2012.

Blessings for the New Year to all.

Hugs & love
