Tigsik
Tigsik ko kitang mga tawo sa ibabaw nin kinaban, Na dai na natatakot sa paggibo nin mga kararatan. Maabot an panahon, maniningil kan Kagurangnan. Magbarago na, ngani bako sa kalayo mapaduman. Tigsik ko kitang pirmi sanang nagsasarig sa Diyos, Tuninog an isip, mga problema magian nanggayod. Ta an mahal na Diyos iyo an may kontrol kan gabos, Kaya may problema o dai magsarig sa Iya nin bulaos. Tigsik ko ining iba sa mga paraoma ta sa ngunyan, Na makaheherak man sa indang mga kam

Scientists are warning that there is a strong likelihood of a powerful El Niño event developing this year, potentially making 2026 the hottest year

Twists and Turns
This has gone so far. It branched off to a different direction which branched off to different directions which by themselves, branched off to more different directions. This isn’t a movie anymore. It’s a soap opera in multiple seasons. The senate soap is actually more exciting. Most teleseryes can end up being predictable, but the Senate has not failed to shock us with something unexpected every few days. Did you expect a minority walkout? Did you expect a majority bo

Solving the problems of the world, the natural way!
Lately, I have found myself browsing, reading, and sharing stories about sustainable initiatives and innovative discoveries that seek to solve some of the world's most pressing problems.

For decades, I hav

When the Flags Come Down
Every June 12, Filipinos celebrate independence. Flags are raised. Heroes are remembered. Speeches are delivered. Social media fills with reminders of sacrifice, patriotism, and national pride. And rightly so. Independence was neither gifted nor inevitable. It was fought for, suffered for, and paid for by generations who believed that Filipinos deserved the right to govern themselves. It remains one of the defining achievements in our history—a declaration that this nation wo

Annulment vs Legal Separation
Atty ano po ang pagkakaiba kan Annulment sa Legal Separation? ----- Sa annulment, pinapawarang-bisa kan korte an kasal. Ibig sabihon, pigkokonsiderar kan batas na an kasal mayo na ning bisa o legal effect. Kun maging final na an desisyon, puwede nang mag-agom giraray an parehong partido. Sa legal separation naman, dae napapawarang bisa an kasal. An mag-agom legal pa man giraray na kasal, alagad hinahagad sana na mag suhayan sa pag-istar asin aregluhon ang mga pagsasadiri kung

“Teach Me Your Paths, My God”
By Fr. Roy Cimagala THAT’S a beautiful psalm (25,4b) that should remind us that we need to be aware that it is God’s continuing, loving, merciful and effective providence that guides us toward our ultimate and real goal in life. It would be good if we can repeat this psalm often so we can protect ourselves from our strong tendency to think that we can just depend on our own selves to navigate life’s complexities and steer through life’s challenges. For this, we need to humble

Second Reading: Romans 5:6-11 Gospel Reading: Matthew 9:36—10:8 At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.
