The Story of A Ruined Wooden-Frameworked Nipa Chapel

Royal Pen













Passing along the street in our place…
stood a Wooden-Frameworked Nipa Chapel

The voices of the priests and the Christians celebrating the Holy mass—
deeply rooted to the hearts of them…
every words of God in the gospel,
prayers that is the music to our soul—
mystical union with God—that uplifts the spirit—
penetrates the soul…
making the hearts a good soil…
making ourselves a good person…
under a two-joined flat nipa roof,
supported by lightly carpentered wooden framework.

A typhoon comes and go—a strong one
This Wooden-Frameworked Nipa Chapel has been swaying
and was finally uprooted where it was earthed.
It was carried by the strong wind –the whole of it…
including the wooden cross—I am keeping…—

Yet, the Kingdom that cannot be shaken (Isaiah 54: 10),
from whence the spirit, sacredness, and holiness of the Holy mass
and the celebrations in the Wooden-Frameworked Nipa Chapel
was evident to all the Christians who received the spirit—
the gift that is freely given to everyone who opens the door
when our ‘faith knocks to ourselves.’

My Brother's Quest

Dreams do come true, from the struggles of the past...

One man who had in his heart the courage to stand the trials of what he intends and long to be...

One man whom his heavily polished boots marches along the path and curves of 'maogmang lugar' together with other young bloods, whom one of a song's lyric's evidence--'We are the children of yesterday's dream, we are the promise of the future we bring, waving the banner to God to all, to every nation, the rich and the poor...'--the start of a man's journey to his quest.

One man who came to know himself through his vision--out of passion to serve.

One man who stumbled and fell many times; yet manages to stand still with chest made of steel--cheek bones though thin-skin deep, flesh strengthened--the sweats and tears under the sunlight and rain...

One man who survived and freed himself from being a victim of society--the same self man who marched to his future and struggled out of his passion to serve...the same self man whom in his veins runs the deeply-rooted seed of heroes, of his ancestors whose dream is of the same route as his.

One man who is an epitome of a good servant-leader--context of society, constitution, national security, patriotism, bravery, honor, and integrity.

One man who is hardened by searching the love of God--in his heart he found it...

One man "who cannot be bought...who is not ashamed to stand for the truth...or who can say 'No' with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says 'Yes'."

One man who continues to fight against crime, violence and corruption; an instrument of peace and public safety--a help to many.

One man who brings glory both to our parents and to God.

One man--a servant to God, an example of whom--is living his life to the fullest, a good soldier...

I salute this one man whom is part of my existence--for he is my brother both in faith to one God and to our parents.

Trident is also used by satan for mass destruction...and poverty is the result...especially to the weak, to the hungry, and to those who have lack of self control and patience. Trident is like a fork, used for picking food. Just like the trident of satan being used by the many, supposedly "public servants". How does these "trident men" used this weapon? Well, well, well...let us open our eyes fellows...let us look at our cities and localities. How is our place growing in terms of livelihood?...in terms of employment?...in terms of the cost of education?...
in terms of the prices of primary commodities?...in terms of how the increasing crime rate in our area are being addressed or being solved?...in terms of the families in our area can be able to meet both ends?...in terms of the many intertwining news stories and advertisements around the globe?...hungry children involving in prostitution, white slavery, child abuse and labor, battered women and men too, and prostitution in the internet?...where does the relief goods go?...the many funds allotted supposedly to the priority needs?...Well, well, well Filipino citizens we must be aware that there is a what we call "CITIZENS' ARREST"

--friends we can use ALL means. Transporatation and communications!!!--to be sure we really caught satan in action using his trident.

We cannot just say that our government has the sole responsibility why satan's trident sways here and there, we knew it! In a wind blow we have to act! I will quote one great man who says, 'let's act now, if not today when?' Until we are all "barbecued" by satan's trident?!
