Kay Mama na siyang makauunawa sa tulang ito.
Laboy Kong Tsinelas
Pagbubuksan mo pa rin naman ako
sakaling umagahin muli sa paglalakwatsa,
alam ko. Hindi ko na kailangang kumatok pa
dahil kabisado mo ang yabag kong maysa-pusa
kahit ilang hakbang pa mula sa gate natin.
“Ipag-iinit kita ng ulam,” kabisado ko naman
ang isasagot mo sa aking pagmamano.
Ano'ng gabi ito at hindi ko malunok ang inihain mong
katahimikan kahit ang totoo’y hinihintay ko lang
na mapalo ang braso, binti at hita ko?
Ewan ko ba, ano’ng teleserye ang napanood mo
kahihintay sa akin at walang tensyong naganap.
Mas mahapdi pa pala ang makita kang umiyak
kaysa ang paulit-ulit na malatayan sa puwitan
ng lagi’t laging laboy kong tsinelas.
*Happy Mothers' Day to all the mothers in the world. Happy Fiesta to our Mother, Our Lady of the Abandoned! Bless and pray for Marikina. Thank you for everything Mama OLA! =)
Ina ng mga Walang Mag-ampon
Mahal na Birheng Maria, Ina ng mga Walang Mag-ampon,
dalhin sa iyong puso ang aming munti at malaking kabiguan
dalhin sa iyong puso ang unti-unting panlalabo ng ningas ng aming pag-asa
upang sa pagtibok din doon ng Kamahal-mahalang Puso ni Kristo ay
maghilom ang aming mga sugat nang walang iniiwang pilat
sumigla ang aming buhay sa pagsapit ng tapat na pagmamahal
mag-ugat ang butil ng pag-asang nasa palad ng dumaramay.

Understanding Catholic Vote.
Many people will liken the notion of a “Catholic vote” to the alleged bloc vote of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. First, we must explain what it is not. The Catholic vote is not a bloc vote according to the dictates of the clergy. It would not be acceptable for the bishops and priests to dictate whom to vote. All this would be very alien to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Catholics are united in what the “Magisterium,” or the teaching authority of the Church, teaches regarding faith and morals. The true mark of Catholicity is this unity in matters of faith and morals combined with great respect for individual freedom and responsibility in temporal matters. Since politics is concerned with temporal matters, Catholics are free to use their own criteria, keeping in mind the common good.
Thus, the decision process of a Catholic is two-tiered: The top tier is the criteria for matters that have to do with faith and morals, and the lower tier is concerned with temporal issues. Before Republic Act 10354, there was never any need for a Catholic vote: Legislation was exclusively concerned with policymaking on temporal matters regulating civil life. The situation changed completely with the introduction of the reproductive health bill—a policy that impinged on the sacredness of human life and the sanctity of marriage. The Catholic vote was born in the hearts of the faithful as they helplessly listened to politicians they elected cast their votes in favor of RH.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI says: “When the Church addresses her social teaching to issues of the common good, she has no intention of giving the Church power over the State or to impose on those who do not share the faith ways of thinking and modes of conduct proper to faith.”
It is also Benedict XVI who provides the basis and criteria for a Catholic vote in a speech before the Audience of European Parliamentarians on March 30, 2006: “As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable… 1) protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; 2) recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family—as a union between a man and a woman based on marriage; 3) protection of the right of parents to educate their children.”
These then are the first-level criteria for assessing the candidates on matters related to faith and morals—three nonnegotiable ethical principles that politicians have to defend in policymaking: sacredness of life, sanctity of marriage, and parents’ right and duty to educate their children—in order to merit the Catholic vote.
We quote this provocative statement from Cardinal Raymond Burke: “[T]here is no element of the common good, no morally good practice, which a candidate may promote and to which a voter may be dedicated, which could justify voting for a candidate who also endorses and supports the deliberate killing of the unborn, euthanasia or the recognition of a same-sex relationship as a legal marriage.” By this statement we gain a clearer understanding how the three nonnegotiable ethical principles belong to a higher and more sublime category—divine natural law, hence the compelling reason for a Catholic to blacklist any candidate who violates them. The origin of these nonnegotiable ethical principles from divine moral law also means we can’t put them in the same footing as other criteria of a temporal nature.
At this point we can answer the infamous question: Should Catholics vote for a corrupt prolife politician? This is where the second-level criteria come in. Catholics may or may not apply another set of criteria to those candidates who passed the first level. This second level concerns temporal matters such as corruption, political dynasties, mining, gun ban, etc. Catholics can and should exercise a great degree of freedom and use their good judgment, keeping in mind the common good.
The lay organizations and their overlapping memberships, including some dioceses outside of Metro Manila, have come up with variations of a list of candidates. Such endorsements are their own and not what the media often refer to as the Church. In spite of the differences in their lineups, these remain consistent with the observance of the nonnegotiable ethical principles, i.e., applying the ethical criteria but leaving room for freedom in judging the candidates based on temporal issues. The White Vote Movement is an example. As for Catholic Vote Philippines, it will not endorse any candidate in keeping with the position of the Church hierarchy, and instead will uphold and promote these guiding principles.
But the great thing that the “Team Buhay/Team Patay” tarpaulin achieved in Bacolod was to come up with the best branding for the Catholic vote. “Team Buhay” expresses so graphically and succinctly the culture of life. These two words accomplish what could only be done through difficult and long catechesis, making it so accessible to the grassroots. We can put this branding to good use by simply asking each politician: “Are you ‘Team Buhay’ or ‘Team Patay’?”

Mabuti pa ang bata.
Nakita ko ang litratong ito sa isang Facebook page na ni-like ng isang kaibigan. Kaya ni-like ko na rin at pinili kong i-share sa wall ko. Ritwal iyon ng ordinasyon sa pagkapari. Ipinakikita roon yung parte kung saan ang buong sambayanan ng Diyos ay dinarasal ang Litanya ng mga Banal, humihingi ng intersesyon sa lahat ng mga banal na alagad ng Diyos na ipanalangin at gabayan ang mga magiging bagong pari. Habang nagdarasal ang lahat, ang mga kandidatong pari ay nakadapa sa sahig ng altar, ipinakikita ang kababaang-loob, kahinaan at kawalang-lakas. Hindi mapapasubalian, ito ang pinakanakakaantig na bahagi ng seremonyas, kahit sa mga hindi pamilyar sa ritwal ng ordinasyon at kahulugan ng lahat ng nangyayari roon. Nakakaantig pagmasdan ang litratong nagpapakita ng isang bata, nang may buong sinseridad at kawalang-muwang, na ginagaya ang mga kandidatong pari, at kahit mapansin ng lahat, ay dumapa rin sa sahig doon pa sa mas malapit na puwesto sa mga kandidatong pari.
Naniniwala ako na yung bata sa ritwal ng ordinasyon ay maihahalintulad sa Kristiyano at buhay-pari. Sigurado akong hindi alam nung bata kung ano ang nangyayari sa mga oras na iyon. Pero naramdaman niya rin yung awa sa mga lalaking nakahandusay sa sahig. Basta niya lang naramdaman na kailangan niya ring gawin iyon kasama sila. Ito yung simbolo ng "solidarity" o pakikiisa sa Simbahan. At sa Diyos. Sa kabila ng alam natin (at maging yung mga di natin alam kung darating), makikiisa tayo sa babatahing hirap. Na una nang ginawa ng Diyos. Na tinatawag din tayo upang sundan Siya. Mabuti pa ang bata, kahit di niya alam ang ginagawa, nakiisa pa rin siya sa Simbahan. Kung sana ang bawat isa sa atin ay makikinig sa Salita ng Diyos at pipiliin ding makiisa sa Simbahan at hindi ito ang kikilos sa lalong ikasisira nito.
Sabi ko roon sa Facebook post, sana sa susunod na pagkakataon, maging ako rin yung bata. Na masundan ko rin ang halimbawang ipinakita niya: walang muwang pero nagtitiwala at nakikiisa sa kalooban ng Diyos.
I choose you.
I've seen every tear that you've cried.
The fears and the failures you struggle to hide.
The worthiness doubted beneath all that pride.
The visions and dreams left behind.
I know your remorse and regret.
The secrets and stories you ache to forget.
So many people you'd die to be yet
I choose you, I choose you.
Do you know why I choose you?
I choose you.
If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.
How faultless you are in my eyes.
So gentle and guiltless, so perfect and prized.
There's so much to love that you don't realize,
My child, My beloved, My pride.
A future with so much in store,
A gift those around you are so grateful for.
Nothing can alter that forevermore.
I'd choose you, I'd choose you.
Do you know why I'd choose you?
I'd choose you.
If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.
Forever and ever I'd choose you.
Just as you are, I'd choose you.
Again and again, I would choose you.
If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.
Wonderfully made,
Wonderfully made,
Wonderfully made are you.

I do not understand many things about You, Lord. I have so many questions for You that need answers right away. I know, You've told me You’ll answer me in Your own way. In Your own time. But I am feeling tired to wait.
It’s so hard to follow You, Lord. There were times that I felt You were so near to me and I thought You would not be far. But when I just turn away suddenly, I start to feel nothing of Your touch. Where is Your hand, Lord? Why should I follow You in the hardest and most hurtful way?
Is it necessary for these things to happen especially to me? Why me? There are other persons out there. Those who do not commit sins, so much unlike me. Many times I have failed You yet I am still hearing Your sweet voice, calling me. Regardless of who I am, why do You still choose me? I am a sinner, Lord. Why still me?
Sometimes I do not want to call on Your help when I am feeling afraid or lonely. For many times that I have offended You, I truly feel unworthy to Your favors, yet You still choose to understand me. I believe You know everything about me. I am sorry, Lord. When I am down, I search for You and ask why can’t I see You. But, You made me feel Your presence through my friends and family. When I am tired, I prefer the easy instead of the right way. But, You made learn some important life lessons wherever my decisions lead me.
At times, I do not understand You, Lord. Why do You let all these things happen to me? Sometimes all I want to do is to give up. For all these years, You know how and how much do I love You. I am sorry for asking You all these. For being tired to wait for Your answers. For sometimes asking You if love is really real. The more I ask, the more I feel hurt. For not being serious before with Your call, I fail to realize my worth. I do not see I am wonderfully made, chosen by You. There’s so much to love that I don’t realize, and I want to see myself now the way that You do.
I believe You’re with me. Lord, please, I need You right now. You are the one who can complete my heart.
The fears and the failures you struggle to hide.
The worthiness doubted beneath all that pride.
The visions and dreams left behind.
I know your remorse and regret.

All prayers will be answered in Your own time.
Millions of prayers are lifted each day,
Millions of questions are asked.
For favors and futures
For healing and hope;
For trials and tests to pass.
And I wait and I wonder when answers will come,
Wonder if You've even heard.
Times that I find myself yielding to doubt,
I call to mind these words:
In Your own way, in Your own time,
In Your own wisdom, not in mine.
By Your love, by Your Holy will,
All pray'rs will be answered in Your own time.
I've had my moments of darkness, O Lord.
I've had my share of pain.
I've felt abandoned, unloved and alone
With no shelter from the rain.
Yet at times when I feel I'm about to give up,
Your love takes me by surprise.
In ways unexpected, Your goodness unfolds
Before my very eyes.
In Your own way, in Your own time,
In Your own wisdom, not in mine.
By Your love, by Your Holy will,
All pray'rs will be answered in Your own time.
So I know that someday, somewhere, somehow,
You will reveal Your plan.
Give me the grace to surrender to You,
To trust Your loving hands!
In Your own way, in Your own time,
In Your own wisdom, not in mine.
By Your love, by Your Holy will,
All pray'rs will be answered in Your own time.
All pray'rs will be answered in Your own time.

There are things that make me bother. Those things that come to my mind every time I am about to sleep. Those persons whom I failed to talk to, those chances I missed to grab, those words that I didn't whisper to anyone. Those I left unceremoniously.
They are so many. But the truth is: there are also so many things to thank for. And that could be the reason why I can still sleep at night. The reason why I still pray to God. To thank God for everything good I experience in my life.
I am the type of person who prefers to pray in the middle of noise. While walking at roads, riding a jeepney or shuttle van, or strolling at the mall. All those noisy places you can ever imagine. I can easily find silence and peace in those noise. In chaos I can converse with God. There, I share my thoughts, worries, issues and complaints. I just settle down and keep quiet, then I can feel He is talking to me amid the noise.
And, prayers I believe will be answered in its perfect time. Because God knows when to give in to our wishes and intentions. Just like what I have experienced today. With friends, we joined the Penitential Walk, a Pilgrimage to the Virgin of Antipolo, Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buenviaje. Our feet became numb during and after this walk. Many people, literally from all walks of life, go all the way from Quiapo Church to Antipolo Cathedral. After almost eight hours, we finished the walk and waited for the return of the Virgin of Antipolo at her Cathedral. I believe every one there has prayer intentions to ask from God thru the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Again, I do not have one. At least, at the back of my mind, I just joined the Pilgrimage to experience the love of God through my friends, the places I've got to see, and the people I've got to encounter there. And I feel the urge of asking for Mary's intercession. Not for my own intentions but for the intentions of my friends who sent me message through text and internet.
People have prayers. Prayers of thanks for passing the board exam. Prayers for opportunities in finding job. Prayers for the recovery or good health of loved ones. Prayers for promotion. Prayers for vocation. I am really amazed by the power of prayers. Through prayers, we are placing ourselves near to God. And this is what God wants - for us to be near to Him. Because when we gets near to Him, our life becomes complete as it is.
I am praying especially now for people who do not pray to experience the power of prayer. There are so much to ask yet there is really only One to gain. I do pray that in every petition we ask of Him, we don't just get what we want but let God enters in our life.
