Overwhelmingly Amazing

AFTER I DISEMBARKED a block beyond the Salazar Institute of Technology in Cebu City from a mini-bus coming in from the southern part of Cebu, I took a 12L route from Labangon on my way to the University of San Carlos-North Campus in General Maxilom Avenue. Along Vicente Rama Avenue, I looked around the seats across from me inside the jeepney. Men and women, talking in a world of their own; some had their sights blankly set far afar.
 
I can see so much diversity among them--different faces, different worlds, different stories to tell. And then a warm feeling welled up from my soul at this sight as a voice came into my mind, my unspeaking voice, in great wonders, "You are overwhelmingly amazing, Lord!"

There is no limit in the beauty of creation, and in the unfathomable love of God for mankind.

FATHER, open our eyes to the gift of community you have granted mankind.
Let us emerge in the wonders of your love and omniscience.
Let us be consumed in all the wonders of who You are.
Let us lift our hungry heart to you,
That each moment of our days we will never forget
That our soul rests only in You. Amen.

Unthinkable Laws from Unthinking Lawmakers

Even in the Philippine Congress there seems to be times when lawmakers just keep on making laws without proper discernment, and the result can be very devastating. These laws practically provide certain people a license to kill others under certain circumstances. Undiscerned Provisions of Laws Article 247 of the Revised Penal Code: "Any legally married person who having surprised his spouse in the act of committing sexual intercourse with another person, shall kill any or both of them in the act or immediately thereafter, or shall inflict upon them any serious physical injury, shall suffer the penalty of destierro." Furthermore, "If he shall inflict upon them physical injuries of any other kind, he shall be exempt from punishment. These rules shall be applicable, under the same circumstances, to parents with respect to their daughters under eighteen years of age, and their seducer, while the daughters are living with their parents." Well, a similar law can be f...

Goodbye, Raoul Ortega

Of those who knew Raoul Ortega very well, I was not one of them. They were those who studied with him during elementary years. But in the four years of high school in Saint Vincent's College in Dipolog City, I cam e to know the small insights I have with Raoul each time I happened to talk to him during certain activities in school and off-class breaks where every student can talk to just anybody in the class or from other classes. And Raoul was outstanding in the way he use pens in sketching beautiful women in beautiful clothings. The skill I had in illustrating people paled in comparison to his talents. A lively guy who wanted to enjoy life to its fullest, Raoul was an upbeat talker with a ready smile, at times cajoling or even keeping things light, that makes the conversation as interesting as it could be. But unlike the PD'CLEFF (Paquibot Dagpin Cortes Literatus Edralin Falcasantos Fargas) who largely preferred to group in together in free times, he seemed to easily fit in...

RH Bill Debate: Things Not to Forget

As of this writing, the author tried but failed to get a copy of the six reproductive health bills (RH bills) filed in the House of Representative. This means that Filipinos concerned in guarding the nation from the potential dangers of the bill may have to ensure that they know what are being proposed in these bills so appropriate actions can be taken to prevent the worst from happening.  The House Bill readily available is HB05043, otherwise known as the Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008, filed in the 14th Congress. The HB00513 that the 15th Congress received on 1 July 2010 has already passed first reading on July 27, and is pending with the Committee on Population and Family Relations. Freedom of Informed Choice It is inherent in Christian faith and in the Philippines the freedom of each Filipino to choose. God respected our free will; and our Constitution confirmed that as a fundamental right of any Filipino. This freedom is reiterated...
