Blessings for Christmas & the New Year

December 23-25, 2010

On this Christmas Season I thank the Lord for His loving kindness by sharing Jesus, born of Mary. Christ's example of servantship and leadership shall inspire us to always put God's plan ahead of everything.

Blessings for Christmas and the New Year and always.

Peace and joy

4th Sunday of Advent

December 19, 2010

Busy Sunday. Brought native food to the occupants of our family property in Antipolo whom we are selling the lots to. Then brought ice cream and cookies to Mother Teresa's Home of Hope for 70 poor tots. They were having their Christmas program.

Godbless and cheers on this happy feastday of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas. Have been attending many funeral wakes lately. Mortality reminders.

Christmas is around the corner.

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, a very popular fiesta in the Philippines. Our Partnerships for the Poor Foundation normally does our annual Christmas gift-giving to sick children in 3 hospitals in Quezon City. It was so moving and touching to see the suffering poor children, including a conjoined twin (in the head). One baby died while we were about to distribute the gifts. Am glad our foundation is still able to do this modest event. God bless those children and their families. Janela & Jolo Estrada (children of Senator Jinggoy and grandkids of President Erap & Senator Loi) joined me Linda Reyes, Evelyn Carballo & Glory Arellano (Lopez Sisters).

Christmas Cantata

Enjoyed the Christmas Cantata of the UP Diliman Bible Christian Community with the theme IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME. Very touching & inspiring.
