Dear Manny,



Thank you for all the glory you've given our country.  No matter what, you are a legend.

Thank you for rising up to the call, giving your countrymen something to look forward to in every fight you've had in the international ring uniting us all even for just a day---watching you, cheering for you.


Thank you for using the fame to benefit a lot of your poor countrymen, helping them however you can. Instead of keeping it all to yourself, Heaven knows the generosity you've extended to the needy ones.

Thank you for taking the opportunity to speak openly for God and spreading His Word.  It was so courageous of you.  You are an inspiration to many of your countrymen.

And now that someone else has taken the title that used to be yours, you are given a different kind of opportunity to inspire us all the more:  Submission to God's Will.


We know not what His plans for each of us are.  We only need to submit ourselves to wherever God is leading us.  His time, not ours. 

You're probably subjected now into 'trials', who knows.  Everybody does anyways.  Specially when one becomes so vocal and active in spreading the Good News.  Just stay put.  Or, maybe, had you won that fight, you might start threading the path of arrogance just like some famous boxers did, only to suffer shame later on, one way or the other, before the eyes of the whole world.  Maybe God is protecting you from traveling that path for you are so precious to Him and would do everything to protect you.

God loves you so much, you will be just fine.

There's a time for everything.  Even the Bible says that.  You will know when its time to stop fighting.  And when you do, stop.  You do not need to prove anything to your countrymen anymore.  You have already done it.  And we believe in you.  No matter what.

Love is Doing!

Do you know what love is? It's not just a feeling in your heart, it's also something you do! Sometimes, saying "I love you" is super important. But showing love with your actions is like giving a big, warm hug without even touching! These are called concrete acts of love. "Concrete" just means real things you can see and do! Let's think about ways we can show love to our family and friends, just by doing things! Helping Hands (Acts of Service) Imagine your grown-up is super busy.  What if you: Help put your toys away without being asked? Set the table for dinner? Help carry the groceries inside? When you do these things, you're saying, "I love you and I want to help!" It makes everyone feel happy and cared for. Special Time (Quality Time) Do you love playing games or reading with someone special? That's a concrete act of love!  Put down your tablet and listen when your friend tells you about their day. Ask a grown-up to play your favori...

Duterte Mocks God

  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  For God cannot br mocked. Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, has made several public statements that were widely interpreted as critical of God and the Catholic Church. Here are some key instances:  * Criticism of the Creation Story:    * Duterte questioned the biblical story of Adam and Eve, expressing his disbelief and asking "Who is this stupid God?" for creating them only to allow them to be tempted. This critique of the concept of original sin was a major source of controversy.  * Statements about God's "Stupidity":    * He publicly used the word "stupid" to describe God, which caused significant outrage in the predominantly Catholic Philippines.  * Challenges to God's Existence:    * Duterte also stated that he would resign if anyone could prove God's existence, further fueling the debate about his religious views.  * Attacks on the Catholic Church:    * He ...

Did Prayers Ever Stop Prophecies in the Bible? The Surprising Truth

There are prominent examples in the Bible where prophecies did not take place as initially declared because of prayer and repentance. These instances highlight the conditional nature of some of God's pronouncements, particularly those concerning judgment. Here are two well-known examples: Nineveh (Book of Jonah): God sent the prophet Jonah to Nineveh to declare its impending destruction: "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" (Jonah 3:4). However, the people of Nineveh, from the king to the common person, responded with repentance, fasting, and prayer. Because of their sincere change of heart, God "relented from the disaster that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it" (Jonah 3:10). This is a classic case of a conditional prophecy where a change in human behavior (repentance) led to a change in the predicted outcome. King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:1-6 and Isaiah 38:1-6):   The prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah and told him, "Th...
