AUGUST 26, 2013- MONDAY

IN THE PHILIPPINES, IT IS NATIONAL HEROES DAY.

LET US COMMEMORATE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES, THEIR TIME, THEIR RESOURCES, AND THEIR PERSONAL HAPPINESS FOR THE GOOD OF FUTURE GENERATIONS.

LIFE IS SHORT.

DEATH IS A REALITY TO EMBRACE ALL THAT LIVES.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT ON HOW WE HAVE LIVED OUR LIVES, AND HOW WE HAVE DIED.

THE GREATEST GIFT WE CAN GIVE TO ANYONE IS THE GIFT OF OUR EXAMPLE- HOW WE HAVE LIVED, AND HOW WE HAVE DIED DOING WHAT IS RIGHTEOUS AND JUST FOR OTHERS.

THIS DAY, AS WE SUFFER HAVING NO FUNDS AT HAND TO HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY- WILL STAY AT HOME AND REST.

WILL AWAIT TOMORROW- HOPING THAT TOMORROW WILL BE A BETTER DAY.

AS WE SUFFER DOING THE MISSION WORKS AS OFFERING TO OUR GOD, TO THE POINT OF SELLING OUR OWN BELONGINGS, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT CONCERN THEMSELVES ABOUT THESE THINGS.

THIS DAY, PEOPLE ARE GATHERING AT DIFFERENT ASSEMBLY POINTS, LIKE LUNETA, WHO HAVE GATHERED TO SHOW THEIR WILL TO SCRAP THE PORK BARREL FUNDS.

WHY?

THIS IS BECAUSE THERE ARE ALLEGEDLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN USING PARCELS OF THE PORK BARREL FUNDS FOR THEIR PERSONAL GAIN.

THERE ARE PARTS OF THE SAID FUNDS THAT HAVE NOT REACHED TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED.

THOSE PARTS OF THE FUNDS HAVE ALLEGEDLY BEEN POCKETED BY CERTAIN PEOPLE INVOLVED IN SUCH CORRUPTION.

TODAY, AS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DO MISSION WORKS TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY DUE TO THE LACK OF FUNDS, I HAVE REMEMBERED THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN DEPRIVED OF HELP WHEN PEOPLE STEAL PUBLIC FUNDS FOR THEIR OWN GOOD.

I AM FEELING THEIR SUFFERING.

I KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE DESPERATE WHEN WE CANNOT ANYMORE HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED.

REMEMBERING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY THIS DAY, WHO HAVE BEEN USED MANY TIMES, AND HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF HELP, FOR THE PERSONAL GAIN OF OTHERS.

I PRAY TO GOD, THAT HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE WILL REIGN HERE ON EARTH.

MAY THERE BE MANY OTHERS WHO WILL SACRIFICE FOR THE COMMON GOOD- MODERN HEROES- TO HELP INSTITUTE REFORMS AND CHANGES FOR THE BETTER IN THIS WORLD.

REMEMBERING ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SACRIFICED SO THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL HAVE A BETTER FUTURE.

MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US.


ADDENDUM:

OUR FIRST ELDER, ALONG WITH FRIENDS, CONTINUE TO DISTRIBUTE CLOTHES TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, AND THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THE FLOODS.

CURRENTLY, THE HOME OF OUR RELATIVE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION- THE MATERIALS THAT ARE CHISELED AND THE SIFTED SANDS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION ARE USED AS MATERIALS TO CONSTRUCT DEFENSE AGAINST THE FLOOD IN CERTAIN AREAS.

THIS IS DONE FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY.

MAY GOD BLESS US AND HELP US.
