PNOY, the Churches and the Philippines



Pres. Noynoy Aquino has been under fire of criticism, as any past presidents. You get the flak from either positive  or  negative  performance. Flak from those oppositions who have their own political agenda.Admittedly some criticisms are meant well.

He is one president who does not turn to his commitment of "matuwid na daan". His record shows the purging of corrupt officials, and going after the fugitives, like Jovito Palparan.

 Healing of the land is with God, through man's cooperation.that is, eradication of  corruption, which has been here for the time immemorial. Purging should begin from the top down the line.




Other areas of concern are eradication of prostitution, brothels, gambling,  strong spirits, tobacco,  prohibited drugs, cyber sex. These are all the root causes of corruption. Shouldn't we start from the root, nip it

Regardless of Christian affiliation, God should be acknowledged and honored in all public/private offices, schools. Before we even start showing allegiance to the Philippine flag, God should come first so that we will be covered by God's mantle of protection. 





One public official open to honoring God is Gov. Joey Salceda.
He is God-guided so his constituents in Albay were  protected from the onslaught of Glenda. They were zero casualty.

Families, as a unit of society,  should be made stronger for a strong family makes a strong nation.

Schools should give emphasis to knowing and loving GOD. What is ones's success in the material world without God is naught. We'll have monsters of godless children growing to adulthood.

There is a big gap between the rich and the poor.
 because some of the ultra rich are overtaken by greed: not paying the right compensation to labor, the right taxes, they are takers not givers. They are into illegal, easy money. Some entertainers propagate lewdness. Games and sitcoms are money makers,  but they erode the moral fiber of the youth, Less time is spent with families, and no time spent  with the Lord Amighty!

Share your blessings. Bible verses on sharing 


Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

You cannot totally separate the government and church. The Christian churches should work hand in hand with the leaders of the government on legislating laws that are congruent with God's commandments/doctrines.especially issues on abortion/contraceptives, divorce, death penalty, Christian education.


Bible verses on Marriage and Divorce


Matthew 19:9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

Mark 10:9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.
Luke 16:18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
1 Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

Messages of the Virgin Mary and the Lord Jesus  on  Contraception/Abortion

"Woman of the world, you have chosen to become murderers, killing your young.  You defy the Eternal Father in your quest for luxury and pleasure.  You have cast aside your role as women and have aligned yourselves with homosexuality and lesbianism, and as such you corrupt the young.  Woe to a generation that has made sin a way of life." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 1, 1978
"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 6, 1987   

Messages of the Lord Jesus and Mama Mary on Christian Education

SCHOOL OF EVIL
"Your children must be protected from the evils that abound in your school systems in your country and most nations throughout the world. They are being taught immorality and a loss of faith in the supernatural and the knowledge of their God. All manner of heresy has been indoctrinated into their youthful minds. It is a diabolical plan of Lucifer." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1979

READ THEIR BOOKS
"Protect your children, My children; be sure that as a parent you do not fall down in your duties to teach your children, for many are now receiving schooling that is based on atheism. Their books and manuals you do not read, My children." - Jesus, August 21, 1985

NO ESCAPE
"Children! The dear children, what will become of them? What kind of an example is being set in their homes? Parents who lack the light, how can they guide their children? Send them to schools? That will be no escape, for the children will be ensnared with evil." - Jesus, April 14, 1984

Bible Verses on Taking One's Life 

Exodus 20:13 - Thou shalt not kill.

             Exodus 21:12 - He that smiteth a man, so                that he die, shall be surely put to death.

PNOY's Fifth SONA

image from GMA News

President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino, III's fifth, second to the last State of the Nation Address (SONA) earned several applause at the Batasang Pambansa. It was a well delivered SONA and the message was  supported by statistics. It was said that this year's SONA is PNOY's best. I, for one, applauded. There are detractors as well.

Pnoy was a Senator when he was tapped for presidency, a reluctant candidate. For me, he turned out well, although faced with challenges, like, the DAP controversy. 

Compared to past administration, his promise to his "bosses"
(the people) to go the "matuwid na daan" (straight road) was being fulfilled especially the uncovering of corruption in the government.
He and his cabinet are doing their best to deliver the service to their bosses the transparent way.

Some of the comments of Pnoy's detractors are:

      • Not much was mentioned about DAP (Development Acceleration Fund)
      • No mention about Freedom of of Information (FOI)
      • the people living below poverty level see no improvement in their lives
      • why put P30 B to BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas), it should have been given directly to the poor
The president gave priority to infrastructure,  and giving additional capital to central bank to attract investors, This will redound to more employment opportunities to the Filipinos. Also a chunk of DAP fund was given to Tesda to better prepare the people for jobs.

In the latter part of  Pnoy's SONA, he became emotional at his mention of his parents, the martyred Ninoy  and the late Pres. Cory.
He said that Fipinos are worth dying for (a quote from his father), worth living for and worth dying for.

I like his pre-SONA message:  Ngayon pa ba tayo manghihina ngayong malapit ng makamit ang minimithi natin?

What I love best is that PNOY acknowledge our Almighty GOD.
And he recognizes the people of God like Cardinal  ChitoTagle, JIL's Eddie Villanueva, INC Manalo, and others.

Mabuhay ka, Pnoy!
