Sunday Thanksgiving: A Victorious Journey

A milestone was achieved when we worked together for a common cause; a strategic operation that is mission accomplished. A thousand miles, yet a fulfilled journey. 

It was in 1998 that it all started when a Divine calling for public service was initiated. My Father was chosen and called to serve the people. At first, there was resistance, a protest due to fear. However, in the end, we all agreed and listened to the Divine call. 

As a three-termer legislator, my Father showed courage and perseverance. He may have had his fair share of struggles but he stood up and fought for the common good. 

He was never frightened of those in the higher authority with the values he upheld and the principles he instilled. 

In 2007, after his 3rd term of public service, he returned to business and enjoyed farming as a hobby, a source of joy and serenity. 

In 2013, at 61, he was back in public service and became the head of our town's Office of Senior Citizen Affairs. 

He advocated for the rights and benefits of the elderly in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development. 

On May 14, 2016, after 9 years since his last public service as a Municipal councilor, he decided to make a comeback to answer the call of his constituents. On May 15, a day after the midterm election, he was declared for another seat. He actively serves the public's interest through local legislation and resolutions that will benefit the general public and uplift the people's lives. 

On May 13, 2019, Mid-term election, my father was declared a winner for his 2nd term. He will continue his public service, speak out, and fight for the rights of his constituents. He will continue to advocate for our town's agricultural economy and livelihood and stand up for the welfare of the public transportation sector - - his major committee chairmanship. 

My father is forever thankful for his constituents and everyone who supported him on his political journey. His love of public service remains even when he is not in the position. He speaks loudly about his advocacy for general assistance in the community. He is leaving a legacy for his love of society. He is forever grateful to God for his victory.

Mother's Day Special: A Sweet Embrace

A Mother, more than anyone else, is always there to show her love and care to her children. A Mother shows compassion and tender loving care that nourishes our soul and spirit.

Today as we celebrate Mother's day, it reminds us of what we have become due to motherly love and care. As we reminisce our childhood days, our Mother was there to comfort us when we were afraid, care for us when we were sick and in pain, and push us forward when we were frightened or timid.

Looking back at the past is all about the struggles and sacrifices of our Mothers, but looking forward to the future is about higher hopes and positive spirits that we will still feel a sweet embrace —a tight hug that symbolizes love.

Today and in the years to come, we may not be together every day and will be miles away, but the soulful connection binds us together.

Our Mother, the love of our life, let us experience the best life she could offer, the best life forever.

Living in Faith: The Greatest CEO Alive

"Our greatest CEO doesn't fire people, but He is forgiving. He doesn't hate and curse, but He is kind and loving. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And so when life seems so dark, let us remember that there is one greatest CEO alive who is there for the rescue. For His love is greater, for He is a true Master."

In our world today, more people are becoming obsessed and are a fan of grandiose titles just as People magazine's "The sexiest man/woman alive" or Time magazine's "Most Influential People in the world" and Forbes magazine's "World's Most Powerful CEO" which are quite famous and have huge followers worldwide.

This obsession with great titles could mean more extraordinary power, fame, prestige, and authority. It also evokes superiority that sets boundaries in social class and standing, being superior and powerful versus ordinary and less privileged people.

Today, we may idolize someone based on merits that make him superior in many aspects. For instance, one may look up to his father for being a good provider and leader for the family. Others may have great admiration and support for their community or religious leaders. The working people may have the most respect for their CEO or the Chief Executive Officer.

I have worked with several CEOs in my corporate life. They are among the best and the brightest in their industries. They have gained my respect and admiration even though they may have their flaws and different personalities and values that make them imperfect.

Today, I am working on following with the greatest power, love, and light. I am working for the best and the brightest CEO of my life. His personality is beyond excellence. He is a Supreme power, a Divinity.

This ever-powerful CEO has died and risen again. He is our Lord, our savior. He is Jesus Christ. He is the Greatest CEO alive. My God, our God.

Jesus works as the greatest CEO who directs us and guides us to the right path. He empowers, uplifts, and inspires us with his great deeds and miracles.

Jesus, our God, is working on us, our family and small community, our country, and the world. It is only fitting that we must also work with Him and follow Him. Jesus is not dead, but He lives in us. His presence is in our hearts, in our minds, and in our souls.

Our greatest CEO doesn't fire people, but He is forgiving. He doesn't hate and curse, but He is kind and loving. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And so when life seems so dark, let us remember that there is one greatest CEO alive who is there for the rescue. For His love is more significant, for He is our true Master.
