Birth Control

Some Filipinos were disappointed over the stand of President Noy on allowing the use of the modern method of conception, giving the Filipino family choices on method of controlling the number of children.

What we need Mr. President is your promise of curbing corruption in the Philippines If you are not reneging on your promise, growth in the country will be in leaps and bound, if we abide by God’s precepts, and regenerate the morality of the land.

Below are the comments of Fr. Melvin Castro, executive director of the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life:

“In a phone interview, Castro said the Church “would rather focus directly on the people to give them the needed values formation so that whatever the government does, their moral values and thinking will remain intact.”

“Because the problem is economic in nature, the solution should also be economic in nature... we expected it but it’s still sad to hear it come from the highest leader of the land,” Castro said. Aquino bucks Church, backs birth control. Read More

Warning from our Lord:

"We warned you over and over again, through years of visitations upon earth--My Mother going to and fro to warn you, that those who have given themselves over to debasement, by the practice of homosexuality, birth control, abortion and all other aberrations that bring sorrow to My Mother's heart--this must be stopped now. There shall be no excuse accepted in Heaven by the saints, nor by My Mother and I, or the Eternal Father and the Holy Ghost, for what you are doing upon earth now." - Jesus, June 16, 1987
“Permissiveness shall not be accepted by your God. Sin is sin; there is no compromise for sin. Mortal sin is a grievous offense to the Eternal Father. The Commandments shall be followed without permissiveness.” – Jesus, November 21, 1977 tldm

They must not try to control the start and expiration of a life.
The Eternal Father breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of murder tldm Our Lady, June 12/76

The encyclical of Pope Paul on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of sin. Our Lady, Oct 2/76

Aquino blinks, seeks talks with Church

Informal Settlers and their Demolition

For lack of development in their respective places, and lack of employment, people from the rural areas flock to the city.. With no place to go to in the metropolis, they have no choice but to squat in vacant lots. They (the informal settlers) have been in the place for years already.

The informal settlers beside the Philippine National Railways (PNR) have been relocated smoothly, there was no violence. Before the relocation, talks/negotiations were made over the years. Notice/postponements on the relocation were made. And when the relocation was finally set, the informal settlers have been readied emotionally and financially. Relocation sites of about 50 kms away from the former site were accepted because their housing was ready, and transportation was provided to the settlers, in addition to financial assistance. Settlers were given options on the place to settle in. They were asked to visit the sites, before decisions were made.

Water, electricity and school were provided, and most of all, their houses are being paid at a very minimal amount which they will eventually own. They are happy with the outcome.

In the case of the demolition in Baranggay Pag-asa, Quezon City, some policemen and some residents were injured. Were it not for the intervention of President Noy, it is going to
be another bloodbath..

Architect Felino Palafox , who was interviewed at DZMM, had these comments/suggestions:
- that the poor has to be included in the urban planning. If they are not included, who would do the rich’ laundry and work in their offices?
- Waterways should have an easement meant as walkways.
- the city should have an underground basin to catch the rain. Houses should do the same, and that their bedroom should be on the 2nd floor, and so with the electrical installation. This is especially true with the places that are now prone to flooding.

Architect Palafox has talks in other countries about urban planning, flood prevention and others, why not in the Philippines?

Architect Palafox submitted his proposal, a ten-year plan to avert any disaster brought about by flood, fire, and earthquake, to former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in January 2010, and again in June 2010 to President Aquino.

Mr. President, please consider this as an urgent matter. Remember the lives lost during the Ondoy typhoon. If we don't act fast, this is a sin of omission. "The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell." Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1980

Philippine President Noy and the country's problems

Pres Noy is beleaguered by criticisms on all sides because of the bloody hostage drama last August 23, near the Rizal Park, Manila.


Being attacked are the Manila Police, the SWAT team for their ineptness and some government officials for the seeming complacency in their actions.

Watched by the world during the crisis, the display of unpreparedness, the insensitive response to the demands of the hostage taker botched the negotiation and lives were lost.

Justice secretary De Lima headed the probe of the involved personnel, and witnesses were interrogated. Hopefully it will be concluded on Monday.

Pres Noy is not yet 100 days in office and this fatal crisis happened in his administration. Members of the police and the SWAT are the legacy of the past admin. May be it’s time to really evaluate the training of these personnel in the past nine years. Are they capable, are they supported by necessary equipments in such crisis or terror attacks. Time is of the essence here. The concerned departments should work together fast and be thorough.

Regarding the hostage taker, was his termination and loss of benefits fair? What about his relationship with the other members of the police force? Did it contribute in anyway to the dismal failure in the negotiation.

What about the media? Play by the rules and be self-accountable. What should take precedence, live media coverage for rating or lives?

In fairness to Pres Noy, he is true to his promise of “walang mahirap, walang corrupt”. Bonuses are allocated if a company is making money. If there is no profit, no bonus could be distributed. Crackdown on GOCC officials who got fat bonuses despite their companies’ losses was started.

He still has to face the country's other problems like the elusive Mindanao peace, budget, the deteriorating public school standard, health issues and others. With competent cabinet members, his load would be easy.

Not only is knowledge necessary, but do they have wisdom coming from God?
Let's pray that God give the president and the government officials the right direction in leading the people to the right path.

"Seek first the kingdom of God, and all else will follow".
