Philippine 2019

2019 God’s appointment

Went to the Philippines 2019.

I went there without any plan but to visit my

Mommy Betty at the age of 93.

I was a bit disappointed because I was only given two weeks vacation.

In two weeks time our Lord lesus Christ made things in order. Every day a special day for me I was able to accomplish those in my bucket list.

First day

2019 Visit to the Philippines, I went to hear Mass at the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart and hearing the choir singing i know it’s our choir singing. I hurried up to join them and to my surprise. They sang numerous Tagalog church songs the song we usually sing. Very inspiring. Someone told me it’s rare and they seldom do all Tagalog song. Exacto Hmmm

2nd Day Monday

That afternoon I visited our barangay. San Antonio Village met some official and staff.

as I was about to go home Ed Cabral told me if I wanted to join the gathering of the community residents for a meeting regarding Waste Management.

I rode his motorcycle and to my surprised the Speaker was my former staff in the Task Force on Solid Waste Management of Makati

the guest Speaker was my friend from Pasig River Rehabilitation Program. It’s like a reunion.

I serve as a kagawad or councilman in the community and left 2021

During my term of office as a kagawad we won as the cleanest and greenest barangay of Makati

Working with Pasig River Rehabilitation Program i was given a commendation by First Lady Amelita Ramos.

In my stay in Manila I had happy both from

My wife and ours.

Went to Senate and meet a lot of Senators, I bonded with friends inside the Senate office

It just happened

I went to visit Kalinga Center and my friend

Father Flavie Villanueva asked me to join him to an awarding ceremony.

He did even say who sponsored it until I reached that place. My alma matter Letran College.

It’s the Hundred years celebration and met many of my college schoolmates

What’s amazing it I was able to meet Mayor Isko Moreno twice on that day,

One in his office in Manila City Hall and at the reunion

On the regular weekly meeting of the NSSH charismatic community they requested me to make a talk on healing.

Saturday on their Planned Life in the Spirit Seminar they gave me a slot to be a speaker

That was on a Saturday a day before leaving the Philippines

There was a day where i was in Sampaloc street and people started to show up to reminisce all that happened in the past sharing stories of programs and spiritual experiences

In one day I was able to visit shrine that I have in mind to visit. Saint Padre Pio, arrive there without traffic and just in time for the mass

Went to Paete Laguna to visit my friend Obet

Pascual where I was given a gift Saint Anthony and Padre Pio. In there I was in Awe to see a life size statues of Nuestra Senora Del Pilar.

After my trip in Paete

went to Tanay Rizal where we were able to visit Regina RICA a place of pilgrimage to Mother Mary.

Aside from the two statue I was ask to bring with me a statue of Nuestra Senora del Pilar for the
