Another Filipinos' Battle Cry (Election Reflection)

Philippine Election Lesson
(With the culture and lifestyle that we have, something fascinates me with the past. I am learning to love history.)

It has been said, "Change is coming!"
I am wondering why the face of P5 coin has been changed.. Pagpaparangal po ba ito sa sinasabing totoong UNANG PANGULO NG PILIPINAS?

Two icons of the past.
The one was called Supremo and the other was El Presidente.

Both with great influence.
The one was a brave 'leader' and the other was treated as an 'idol' by his followers.

Both dreamed for Phillippines' independence.
The one led for Katipunan, a then secret society that ignited the flames of Phillippine revolution against the Spanish empire.
The other was a capable general who waved the Philippine flag and declared the country's independence on June 12, 1898. He later brought Filipinos to Intramuros, just a step way for liberty from colonizers. But at the very moment that he needed to be strong and cunning, he chose to trust the Americans.
And the rest is history!

I know it is unfair to compare.
"The One" and "The Other" has vital roles for what Filipinos are today. Both desired to lead but with different motives and principles. There in *Tejeros Convention, the latter was chosen to be the first president of the known first Republic of the Phillipines.
(*Tejeros Convention - Yung unang halalan daw ng Pilipinas...  at yung unang halalan ng Pilipinas na mayroon nang dayaan! Will history repeat itself?)

Sometimes we are afraid to look ahead.
But by looking back, we should be reminded to look up. Just as in Romans 15:4a of the Bible,
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning",
we should have learned lessons from earlier times. As we examine the painful past of our country, we should learn to pray to God for His grace and mercy.

Sana huwag po kasing magpabili ng boto. Natuto na po sana tayo sa mga aral na iniwan ng nakaraan.
Sana wala nang dayaan sa Mayo trese! Isipin po nating mabuti ang kapakanan ng mga susunod pang henerasyon.
THIS IS, I THINK, ANOTHER FILIPINOS' BATTLE CRY.
Please, let us vote wisely!

Proverbs 29:2
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."

COMMITMENT SPEECH SAMPLE

It was August of last year when my niece asked me to help her making a commitment speech for their induction program. We tried at least to become relevant – August is Buwan ng Wika, so we decided to use most of it in Filipino; she loves Mathematics, so we agreed to use and relate Math as her introduction; she is not actually fluent in English (and she admits that), so she practiced her pagka-maka-bayan kuno! 😁 Below is the full text of her speech and I found it saved on my laptop. ****************************************** Our esteemed Guest speaker, our active School Principal, Faculty and Facilitative Staffs, Fellow Officers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant morning to one and all. Hayaan po ninyo akong gumamit ng wikang Filipino bilang bahagi sa pagpapahayag ng aking talumpati sa umagang ito. Ngayong ika-anim na taon ko sa paaralang ito, naisip kong paano kaya kung wikang Filipino ang gamitin sa pagtuturo sa asignaturang Sipnayan a.k.a. ...

You are beautiful!

(Just a personal musing) You are beautiful. You are like a princess staying inside the castle and patiently waiting there your prince charming.  You are not fearful. You chose not to go beyond the boundary because you know you are not deprived but secured and protected. You are courageous. You are brave to obey in staying inside because you trust and believe. I am sorry if you are waiting that long. I look myself unworthy to be called your prince. I am wounded and weak. I have not engaged in a battle before where this kind of valor is a prerequisite. I kept telling myself that I am a warrior. I do not trust on my chariot and horses. But I am waiting for that day that they will bring me where you are. I am waiting for that day that I could tell to you that I will not promise you to be the best prince charming in the world - our story will not be a fairy tale and fantasy. I am waiting for that day that I could boldly say to you with God's grace that I will stri...
