To give or not to beggars?

"Do everything with love"

Marapao St., Tagbilaran City

In the picture you can see beggars: two Badjao children and a native in this island of Bohol imploring help to the public, be it money or in kind. The question now is, are they a shame for Boholano people before the eyes of the foreign tourists? Many people asked this question, maybe even you.

One thing I'm afraid of is when I heard over the radio mayor Dan Lim said last year that it would be better for these Badjao to go back to their origin. To where? To the sea? Are they not Filipinos after all? Ahh that is to say they are unwelcome here. Shall we expect a bill in the future to persecute a giver like that in the city of Cebu? Such is an against the virtue of charity, therefore, unchristian.

I remember one thing to gain indulgence and for the satisfaction of our sins is alms-giving. I realized then that we are all beggars before God. 

Allow me to end by re-echoing the message written at the back of the tricycle, "Do everything with love".

Waiting For you

"I will wait you until the last drop"

Do you believe if your suitor say this to you? Hmm... whether he/she meant what he/she says, it is a sweet music to your ears. But beware!  Kadto lugar nga mga suitors o ex-lovers ninyo naa pa lugar to ron naghuwat gihapon bisan minyo na? :) 

Ingon ani lang ni pero 50 pesos patong cada kilo. hehe

Any idea? Feel free to leave a comment...

Facebook Fuels Envy

If envy were a fever

All the world is ill

This quote sees through the heart of man and it says the truth. This is very true due to our fallen nature that envy has become part of what and who we are. Who are not guilty of envy then? I too often times tempted to crave to my friend's success especially when logging in on Facebook. It made me sick that Facebook has become an avenue of glorifying one's self, showing the world what they've got. And on my part, a feeling of envy would hit me. Perhaps it's because I have nothing to show off. But all I know of is that Facebook is downgrading my existence in relation to my friends.
