malapit na ang aking kaarawan, malapit na din ang pagsapit ng taong-taong pag gunita sa pag panaw ng aming "tatang"...minsan naalala pa din ang mga bagay na dating ginagawa kasama sya, mga panahon ng pagtawa, mga lungkot at pagtatanong sa isat-isa, ano na nga ba ang mangyayari sa aming dalawa...
masaya syang kasama kasi parang walang problema, lagi syng nakatawa, laging may ngiti sa kanyang mga mata...walang pag aalinlangan na may kapayapaan at saya sa kanyang buhay...
mga alaala na lamang ang mga iyon..lagi kong naiisip na sana pala, nung mga panahon na nagawa sya ng mga kwento at tula sana naitabi ko ang mga ito, at nagawan sya ng "blog site"..hehehe..magaling syang sumulat...makata, at nakakatawa...
sayang..sayang...iisipin kong muli ang mga gintong aral at kwentong walang pagod nyang ibinabahagi sa aming mga apo nya...ang tawag daw dito ay "indigenous knowledg" pambihira may tawag pala dun...hahaha...
pilitin kong isulat ulit at ikwento ang mga iyon....di pa naman siguro huli ang lahat....sa susunod...may laman na at saysay ang isusulat ko...sa susunod...kailan kaya ito? pwedend mamaya, bukas, sa isang araw, isang buwan...pero sana naman huwag na itong umabot pa ng isang taon o dekada...

Empowering Churches
Empowering and empowerment are very important factors in building long-lasting relationships. Youth Mobilization’s vision is to see empowered churches through equipping and training the youth leaders of different churches. One way to accomplish this is through a partnership which lays the foundation of having strong relationships that would eventually lead to the process of empowerment.
Empowerment is not limited only to the Church, but it trickles down to the Pastors, leaders and the members of the church as a whole. All the while, we keep in mind that the goal of the church is to reach out to their community, share the Love of Christ, and eventually to see transformed lives. Partnering and Partnership with churches is not that easy, but it is a very worthwhile challenge. It has brought me to a lot of prayer, seeking direction and effort to really be able to share with them this ministry.
It has been our desire to really see empowered churches, stronger programs and sustainable ministries, with them taking the initiative and the lead as a catalyst for transformation.
In the past years, the Lord has given us the chance to be able to minister and work with several churches. We have been equipping and training their youth leaders and supplying specific modules and other ministry needs. We have had the opportunity to even partner with 11 churches nationwide and with 2 specific ministry areas. One is in an Urban setting, located at the very heart of the business district of Makati City. The other one is located up North, about a 3-hour drive from Manila - a displaced tribe (Indigenous People) with around 200 families in their community.
How do we help them? How do we empower the churches? We do not just train them, but we help them with their ministries by focusing on their existing ministries…assisting in every way God has gifted us with. Teams (local and foreign) were mobilized and were brought to assist our partner churches with their ministry. We raise funds, look for resources, and be there for them to assist the churches in reaching their vision, as part of the process of empowerment.
Taking another step of faith this coming August 29th -30th we will be launching a special kick-off fellowship with our 11 Partner Churches in Laguna. This will be an overnight event of fun and fellowship together. Indeed we work as a team and have fun as a team as well.

pagbubulay-bulay sa buhay
hay naku ito naman ang buhay ng tao...
sana nga laging may oras, laging may panahon,
umupo,magkape,magkwento, tumulala...
ang labo ano, parang walang ginagawa,
parang hindi "busy" nag papanggap, nangangarap...
sana nga naman pag-gising bukas, ok na ulit...
masasabi ba nating, maganda nga talaga ang isang umaga!
kung pana'y nakikita ay malabong alaala ng nakilipas na umaga...
minsan talaga nakakatawa...tumunganga at ngumanga :)...
hay walang maisip,puno ng pagtatanong, puro pag-aalala
na bakit nga ba, ang daming pagkakamaling dapat sana ay itinuwid na...
habulin natin ng may sigla, sabi nga ni P-Noy, pagbabago ay narito na...
sana noon pa...

does it really matter...
it always starts with a need,
so to speak..but does it really matter?
passion, vision, mission?
what does it give you?
a heart, that seeks and see what is beyond any reason?
and strength that encompasses, this tiring world..
i can only say a little, for my eyes are
but a limited tool to see what comes around goes around...
changes that may occur perhaps,
are, something that we can control..,one way or another..
by God's grace...
so in whatever situation we are at the moment...
everything else does matter...
well. it does.
