Stop Women
Trafficking |

"Think not of a woman as a thing with which to
pass the time merely but as a helper, as a partner in
the hardships of life, respect her in her weaknesses and
think only of the mother who brought you into the world
and took care of you in your childhood," Emilio Jacinto,
one Filipino nationalist once said.
In the Encyclical Letter of
Pope John Paul II, he stated that, "If human rights are
violated in time of peace, this is particularly painful
and from the point of view of progress it represents an
incomprehensible manifestation of activity directed
against man which can in no way be reconciled with any
program that describes itself as humanistic."

FORUM ON DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE ( Presented by Fr. Glen Jaron, MSP
) |
|
She came to Korea in December 2000. She
was already beaten a number of times during the first
few months of their marriage, before she became
pregnant. According to Jessica, the beating generally
happened when the husband was drunk and got into an
argument with somebody on the phone. It seemed like he
turned to the wife to release his anger on the person
that he got into an argument with. She was beaten a
number of times until she finally left him, after one
year and half of living together. She brought with her
the baby girl who was also in shock when they arrived at
the center. The baby was afraid to approach any male
visitor in the center. She would cry immediately when
the mother was not within her reach, even if the mother
was within her sight.

Filipino Youth... Still on
the Verge!
For a number of times, we always hear
that we are the hope of the country. It has been a
saying that goes over and over again. However, some of
the people, which is only common, pays more attention to
the weaknesses of us youth rather than to encourage us.
Not to justify them, maybe they want to uplift and
criticize us, only that they don't know how.
How will i prove them now that FILIPINO
YOUTHS ARE STILL ON THE VERGE? Well, the evidences are
crystal clear. Just imagine how many young Filipinos now
are known and reknown all over the world? Artists and
singers and even leaders. But unfortunately, they are
not now in the country wherein they should serve best.
Now what is the logic?

Nation remembers Ninoy, reaffirms
democracy
A REAFFIRMATION of the democratic
principles that former senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. died
for highlighted the 20th year of his martyrdom as present and
past leaders, officials and thousands of Filipinos converged
in Makati City to honor him.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
joined two past presidents on Thursday in a short march on the
financial district to mark the political murder of Aquino,
which ushered in the end of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship.
The President herself was
coming off an aborted coup attempt that allegedly sought to
install a military junta. The uprising, however, was
short-lived as it failed to muster the support of civilians
who were instrumental in two bloodless revolts that toppled
Marcos in 1986 and former president Joseph Estrada in
2001.

Jesus and the Children
"Then children were brought to him
for him to lay hands upon them and to pray. But the disciple scolded
them."But Jesus said: "let the children be and do not hinder them
from coming to me."; for the kingdom of heaven is for such as
these." And he laid his hands upon them and went
away."
