Proud to be a Filipino, to be an Infantahin

Mr. Tony L. Vera Cruz, ISO Consultant in an Oil & Shipping Service
Company in the Gulf Region wrote in the MIF Website as follows:

"One thing I want to share is I admire our Filipino actors and
actresses in portraying their respective roles. Puwedeng-puwede sa
Oscar award!

Hindi pala ako nag-iisa!

Hindi pala ako nag-iisa!

I agree with you that Filipino telenovelas are addicting. To appreciate them, as you've said, just follow the story until it ends. That's why I have to go home without delays from work to watch them. If I missed one, I had to call my friends. Nakaka-addict talaga!

One thing I want to share is I admire our Filipino actors and actresses in portraying their respective roles. Puwedeng-puwede sa Oscar award!

Maipagmamalaki talaga ang mga Pinoy in all fields of achievements.

I am proud to be a Filipino and an OFW. I am proud of all Infantahins working here in Saudi Arabia and in other Middle East countries.

More power to you and the Metro Infanta Foundation. Keep up the good works.

God bless you and all Infantahins.

Thanks and best regards,
Tony L. Vera Cruz
From poverty, I am now an ISO Consultant in one of the first-class oil and shipping service companies in the Gulf Region.

Stewardship ... of government and environment

By Pol Derilo
Round Rock, Texas

Stewardship is ringing louder nowadays reminding us how vital it is in our lives as ever. Three mission days are currently going on right here in our parish of St. John Vianney. It hopes to refresh and rekindle the gratitude of parishioners towards God, the source of all our blessings.

With faith, we ought to partake our blessings to God as a manifestation of love and gratitude. Gestures need not be done necessarily through the popular and expedient monetary fashion but by sharing the countless ways each one of us is gifted by our Creator. God's gifts come in so many ways and to make our homage profoundly meaningful, we need to choose from those we treasured most instead of the one we needed less, not those that are inferior but the best of the kind that we possess or picking those who are generous instead of those who are covetous.

ARE FILIPINOS STINGY?

By Dolly Banzon

This is a reflection on your question cited above and first posed on September 1, 2008.

I am not so sure about the “stinginess” of the Filipinos when it comes to giving to a cause. Stinginess implies reluctance to give or being tightfisted. But are we? We are known for our hospitality and our spirit of bayanihan (people helping people). Our spirit of hospitality even extends to offering the best food, the best room in the house (if you are a houseguest) and the best attention.

A trip home

Congratulations! on your piece "A Day on the Life on Sierra Madre" which appeared in the Metro Infanta Foundation Website of 13 August 2008.

Your vivid descriptions of what you saw on the way - women washing clothes; children going to school; flowering plants such as gumamelas and boungavillas, etc., patches of red earth and smoke from the hillsides as well as smell of burning coconut shells being made into charcoal, made me feel nostalgic - even homesick.

Your narration (in words) was accompanied by vivid nice photos.

Panukala: Magtanim ng acacia sa harap ng Gabaldon

Mahal na Patnugot:

Si Ginoong "Cocoy" sa kanyang maikling sanaysay "Balik-tanaw sa Gabaldon" (Metro Infanta Foundation Website, 10 August 2008), matapos na sariwain sa ala-ala ang nasabing paaralan nabanggit rin niya na may panghihinayang na wala na ang kahoy na "Acacia" sa tabi ng nasirang "Gabaldon Building".

Nakikibahagi ako sa kanyang panghihinayang. Nabanggit ko na ito noong una pa kung bakit pinulak o pinutol ang tatlong "century-old" na acacia sa harapan ng nasabing Gabaldon School building.
