I greet the God in you.
so stay the best version of who you are. Wherever and whatever situation you are in. I love you!
God has plan
Yung tipong nawawalan ka na ng pag-asa, yung di mo na alam gagawin mo, walang kang ibang alam gawin kung hindi ilabas ito gamit ang iyong luha kahit ayaw mong umiyak di mo papigilan kase alam mo na ung pwedeng mangyari kaya minomotivate mo na lang sarili mo at nag umpisa kang gumawa ng paraan imbis na ituloy and pagmamaga ng iyong mata. ang dami mong tinext, chinat at tinawagan para lang mahanap sya at naghanap ka ng kakampi kase di mo na kaya at parehas kayo ng sitwasyon. Grabe! di namen akalaing may tutulong samen kahit na may presyo man ito atleast kaya nyang tapusin. sobrang thankful talaga ako kase God is with us always and will never leave us. At ang laking tulong ng page ng pinagawa ni miss sa R.E kase mas lalo akong nagtiwala at napalapit sayo, yung tipong pag mag oopen ako ng facebook ung page ko agad tinitignan ko at gusto ko lage akong may napopost bago ako magout. grabe kelangan lage akong may internet kase bigla-biglang may may qoute na pumapasok sa utak ko at pag nag online na ko diko na maalala, time to time lang talaga sya e. Sa The Feast, sa pagsisismba ko every sunday and sa worship after mass sobrang dami kong natutunan kaya hindi ako sumusuko yung 3 steps of faith diko inaalis sa isip ko first is see, you need to vision your dream and that's already in my mind and second sow, you need to work on it and that's what i'm doing today and sa mga sususnod pang araw para matapos and thesis at makagraduate. last is surrender to God and i start it today and i will do it forever. and nagpapsalamat ako kay dada kase dinala nya ko sa the feast ang laki ng feedback saken at sa pagkatao ko. Lastly, sa family ko na hindi sumusuko sa lahat ng trials na dumadating samin lalo na ang parents ko sobrang proud ako kase napakasipag ng papa ko kaya sobrang idol ko sya. Ang mama ko kahit ganun sya alam kong napalaki nya kame ng maayos matigas lang talaga kame kaya ganun, pero alam kong ginawa nya lahat ng makakaya nya para maging mabute kaming anak, kaibigan at kapwa tao. and I will always trust God and i will do it forever and ever amen. We know that you have a plan to us and we are waiting for the right time and perfect day to have it. And I know that my dreams is better than your plans.

Aquino Declares National Day of Mourning for Slain Elite Cops
MANILA, Philippines–President Benigno Aquino III on Wednesday declared a National Day of Mourning for the 44 elite cops killed in an encounter in Mamasapano town, Maguindanao province, last Sunday.
The policemen were part of the 392 members of the Special Action Force (SAF) tasked to arrest Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir (also known as Marwan) and Filipino bombmaking expert Basit Usman who are both connected with Jemaah Islamiyah.
“Bilang paggalang sa mga ng mga nasawi, magdedeklara tayo ng isang National Day of Mourning bilang sagisag ng pagdadalamhati at pakikiramay ng ating buong bansa (As a sign of respect to those who died, we will declare a National Day of Mourning as a symbol of our nation’s grief and sympathy),” Aquino said in a speech before media and his Cabinet members in Malacanang.
He said the National Day of Mourning will be on Friday, January 30.
The encounter allegedly happened near the base of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which has been in peace negotiations with the Philippine government.
The MILF denied that it coordinated with the breakaway group Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters during the “misencounter.” Aquino also said they are still waiting for the report of the board on inquiry. He said the government has yet to establish that the MILF was indeed responsible for the deaths of the policemen.
After the President’s 16-minute speech, Malacañang released Proclamation no. 953, which asks all public institutions and installations to lower the Philippine flag to half mast on Friday.
“These deaths are a great loss to our people and during this time of grief, a most solemn commemoration and respect is called for,” it said.
Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said there was no announcement if work or classes will be suspended.

Question: "What does the Bible teach about human trafficking?"
Answer:Simply put, human trafficking is a modern term for slavery. Anytime a person is held in a forced labor situation, regardless of the reason, it is defined as human trafficking.
The United Nations defines human trafficking as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.”
Experts have noted that human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal activity in the world and one of the most lucrative. Overall, the International Labour Organization estimated the human trafficking industry at over $31 billion per year in 2005. Some estimate that as many as 29 million people exist in slavery worldwide, more than twice the number of slaves transported during the entire Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
The problem is clearly large and growing. What does the Bible teach about human trafficking? This question cannot adequately be answered without a clear understanding of God’s value of human life. The Bible records that, when God created humans, He created them in His image (Genesis 1:26). Every life is of great value, and God loves all individuals.
As a result, God teaches love for our neighbor (Matthew 19:19) as well as love for those in need (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus was the one who taught theGolden Rule: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12). Further,Proverbs 31:8-9teaches us to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” These principles certainly all apply to those hurt through the illegal practice of human trafficking.
How can people today practice these biblical principles of helping those in the bondage of slavery? First, we must pray for those in bondage. AsJames 5:16notes, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Human trafficking is a clear need that requires God’s power for any adequate change to occur.
Second, we must speak out on behalf of those in need (Proverbs 31:8-9). Those in our schools, businesses, churches, and community often are unaware of the problem of human trafficking and how to help. Perhaps God is calling you to be one of the people who would speak out and help provide justice to those without a voice in this area.
Third, we must act to help those in bondage. These actions can involve a variety of means, ranging from volunteering in an anti-trafficking organization to financial giving to teaching about the topic where you live. A growing number of organizations have emerged in recent years that provide new opportunities for Christians to serve in this area. International Justice Mission (www.ijm.org) provides many international opportunities, while others, such at Mercy Movement (www.mercymovement.com) concentrate on addressing the issue in the United States.
One additional way to provide practical assistance is through supporting fair trade and survivor-made products. Fair trade products include items sold by those who adhere to practices that remove any unfair labor practices, especially slavery. Coffee, teas, chocolate, and fresh flowers are common products that offer fair trade alternatives to help keep slavery out of the supply chain.
The retail chain Ten Thousand Gifts is an example of this practice applied to an entire store, while the Christian organization Worldcrafts (www.worldcrafts.org) offers the opportunity to buy international gifts from artisans who have escaped slave situations and other poverty-related conditions.
In summary, human trafficking is a gross indignity against men, women, and children who have been created in God’s image. As followers of Christ, we have a responsibility to pray, to speak out against human trafficking and modern slavery, and to live in ways that help create change in the lives of those impacted by this tragic crime.
