A Blissful Sabbath Anniversary BES

Five decades and five years of preaching the word of God through worldwide evangelization. A man whom he dedicated his life and strength in serving God, brethren and fellow men.


These years of thousand sleepless nights, enduring the long hours of travel for him to attend Bible exposition and preach the gospel.



Bro. Eli is the simplest, selfless, caring man I known. In spite of the many good works this man has done he is still being mocked and degrade in mainstream media. Those who are against the church speak lies and fabricate stories just to maligned him. Although defamed and cursed by many religious leaders, With God's help and mercy, brother Eli continues to speak the biblical truth and wisdom. Different channels and programs are produced to reach people all over the world.


I feel so blessed and thankful that I met Bro. Eli. He is never a snob man like many or shall I say almost all religious leader. I saw how he live his life in the simplest way. He even cook food for the brothers and sisters who visited his place. He works day and night so that he can provide the needs of his family. Can you imagine a preacher doing those household chores, he does things out of a clean heart. I bet you will not see any preacher like bro Eli. In our times. Bro. Eli also teaches us to be compassionate, to love one another even those who do not love us and our enemies. He taught us to be kind and to always live life according to God's will. I thank God for someone like him.


Happiest Birthday bro. Eli (April 4) and Happy 55th Anniversary too. (April 7) May God always keep you and Kuya Daniel safe. We love you from the bottom of our hearts. We thank God for you BES!

3-Day Thanksgiving

Three days had gone so fast! Last April 5-8 was MCGI celebration of International Thanksgiving and Christian New Year. From 5pm until the wee hours of the night. Tiring as it may seem but the moment you understood such great topics is incomparable on the night-long wakefulness.




I am grateful and happy that we got the chance to witness such great event. The happiness and joy I felt after hearing such beautiful topics.


Summing up the three- day thanksgiving it focused on love. forgiveness and salvation. It discuss how great and loving our God. That the Almighty Father wants men to be saved.


These moments are truly worth to cherish. I am thankful to be part of the church. I can't wait for the next SPBB! Thanks be to God for a everything!,

SPBB FEELS

Tomorrow or shall I say a few hours from now and its one of the most awaited event, MCGI members is looking forward to. However, before this event, there are so much sadness, stress and not so good things I encountered. 

Maybe two weeks ago before the first week of April, ang dami ng stress. Mga bagay na nakakaiyak. From people, to your closest relatives, friends and worst is yung sarili mo mismo. It gives me heartache and headache at the same time. 

There are instances when all i wanted to do is to keep my mouth closed. Ayoko ng magsalita because i think that it will just worsen the situation. 
Sabagay 10 years na with God's help.. marami ng taon, luha at sakit na lumipas.. Minsan masasabi mo na lang sa sarili mo "Hindi ka pa nasanay?" 

Ganun nga talaga siguro. Iiyak ka muna bago tumawa. sabi nga sa narinig ko "Minsan kailangan mong malungkot para sumaya ka" .

These times are also the chance na mag heal ang wound, mag patawad, at mapatawad. 
I do hope na sana dumating din ang araw na maging okay ang lahat. I may not know how to say things that are kept inside my heart. Mga wishlist na hindi materyal na bagay. 

Umaasa pa rin balang araw ang sugat ng kahapon ay maghilom.. Anyone reading this that in sometime, somewhere I have caused you pain, from the bottom of my heart I am truly sorry. May God keep us all.

Sweets, spice and everything nice!

Turmeric is used in centuries either in medicinal or as spice ingredient for dishes but did you know drinking turmeric tea a day can help you for weight loss. In a casserole, pour a chopped or pounded turmeric add ginger and boil it for at least 20 minutes.

Year after Year?

I was a bit shocked when I noticed that my last post here in blogspot was way back 2017. I have topics on my pocket but still could not find a great time to jot down everything. Had a lot on my plate these past months.


Anyhow will try to keep in touch with my blog. I'm not sure if it was January last week when I saw a news that google will be shutting down google +, thought blogspot will be affected as well but fortunately, no. If not mistaken, stated on the news article it was due to some security system issue.


Well, way back when I was in college my teacher told us that its not really safe on any social media platforms as it is not 100% secured. Of course, there are system issue, data breech, hacking and phishing scams that is already brought up that seems to be the problem in almost all social media sites.


We can't forget the issue on Facebook that pushed Zuckerberg to face the senate and answer all those data privacy issues. Twitter had also these issues as well as other sites.


I do hope that I come up with more topics to be posted soon. I'm happy that despite the shut down, blogspot will still be active. Happy blogging!

Why it took so long?

Its past 2 in the morning and hooray I am still up. I missed visiting my own blog and posting different topics. Well, I've been active with this account three years ago and for some personal reason I have to stop. Someone's blog inspired me to write again, like write anything you want in any length form. This is me, I wanted a free writing. No strict rules or technicalities. I wish to write more if I will still be given strength and opportunity. Meanwhile, I have to pause for a while and give myself a rest. Good mor-night! 

Change Has Come?

There is no permanent thing in this world except change" this famous adage goes for years for the fact that people believe everything changes
If that is the case, is every little thing in this planet alter? Well, it might be arguable still.

Politicians especially during elections always promise "change" in the country. Changing the education, the justice system, and even the undying traffic in the metro. In short, everything under the sun a politician can promise he will.

However, Filipinos particularly the poor ones are victim of the promises.
Each vote is important for the candidates. On the other hand, each exercise of right to vote is another hope for a better living and better nation.

The past administrations in the Philippines gives us different strategies and tactics on how the leaders lead his country. However, one thing is common and undeniable, the never-ending issue of corruption and conspiracy.

 The past two administrations of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and the recent exit in presidential position of Benigno Noynoy Aquino III,  has both controversial issues. The first one was involved in plunder (PCSO misuse of money), the "I Am Sorry" wherein she was alleged to deceit the national elections by talking over the phone with Comelec Chair Virgilio Garcillano, and the other cases filed against the now congress woman Arroyo. In line with this, the latter was also part of the tragic Mamasapano massacre, DAP-PDAF issues and others too.

Now, the Philippine face a new leadership, a far different from the previous ones.
The Duterte regime has finally come.
Strict, intense, vulgar, promising. These words to describe the start of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the former mayor of Davao for a long time. As Duterte formally acknowledge as the 16th President of the Philippines, last June 30 his priorities the removal of drugs in the country specifically the drug lords, pushers and users.

News Front page and headlines depicts the way of president Duterte's ruling. Many drug users and pushers were arrested but most of them got killed. On the brighter side, pushers and users surrendered themselves in fear of getting killed.

According to Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism's Facebook account, the previous operation from May10-July 11 in "Oplan Tokhang" there are 192 persons killed and 8,110 persons arrested;

The massive campaign regarding drugs gives so much hope to the public. This is because many crimes were done under the influenced of drugs.

Besides, drugs other platform of president Duterte are no to contractualization,
Exempting the poor Filipinos  from tax, creating and doubling the salaries of teachers and other economical issues as well.

Change also applies to the president's other concerns, like the recent memorandum in which the title "His Excellency" will not be label whenever he will attend gatherings or be acknowledge. He did not also want luxurious feast for his victory. When there will be gatherings he just wanted to have the simplest menu and productions. What he eats in his house, that will be served also in Malacanañang.

 Six years of journey as a president is a long way ahead. People can never tell what will happen tomorrow. Change may be seen now, but the question is till when? Is the good leadership will be maintained? The Filipinos are watching, waiting, especially those in the midst of poverty. Every one hope to have changed in a better country, a better Philippines.
