But problems of corruption haunt and hurt our political system so bad that it needs genuine advocates of honest and people-centered leadership.

Maybe if i were to sum up what i have given, it's more than what ordinary earners could possibly shell out..so i am in no way guilty of not sharing my blessings....I HAVE FORTUNATELY STARTED MY CHARITY LONG TIME AGO.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706439327328180346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726180438966060623.post-89331971806472082142012-09-10T13:33:00.901-07:002012-09-10T13:33:00.901-07:00Quite a lot to answer..hehehe.

It is not love but it will all lead to lust to satisfy one’s desire of flesh. These are all the consequences by committing ourselves to be married with someone and we’ve made a vow with God about procreation. We have to accept that it will all lead into lust and these are worldly things which is hard to avoid if we do not walk along with the Spirit to guide us. People become tolerant of sin in a way to justify it to suit man’s weakness and therefore submitting oneself to the temptations of Satan. One main solution for this problem is for everyone to pray to God and be sincere like how Enoch did in the Old Testament. If all the 80 million people of the Philippines will sincerely pray about this, everyone will be enlightened with their choice. I do really believe in the power of prayers. Why we are facing this temptation? It’s because not all the 80 million people do pray. <br /><br />What happen to all violators once this bill becomes law?..The violators will be penalized and may end up in the jail. The country cannot afford more people in the jail..Instead, the designated government agencies like the DSWD must be enhanced to look after the welfare and development of the people.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726180438966060623.post-62135814204948844332012-09-06T22:50:25.758-07:002012-09-06T22:50:25.758-07:00Whatever achievements we have in life or whatever ...Whatever achievements we have in life or whatever beautiful place we have been in the world, we must not forget that everything comes from the Lord. We must be grateful and thankful all the time for the blessings because anytime it can be taken back. It is not because God favored someone better than others. It is just maybe for reasons known only to God and one must discern to know it. It is not also rightful that because we feel mature and intelligent enough in this life, we question and challenge the people representing the Church. Challenging the bishops and priests in paragraph (16) may not be the best lines uttered. Our choices may not always be God’s choices, our plans may not always be God’s plan and our will may not always be God’s Will. The priests are the one’s chosen to represent the Church and we cannot fathom His wisdom about it. The Church will always be prolife because there is enough for everything and everything created in this world are enough for man’s needs.<br /><br />You may look at the priests like they have everything but no, they have nothing except the Lord. Everything they wear, eat and shelter came from the people because that was made as a covenant when God said to the Levites (the tribe chosen in the old testament to become priest) to leave everything in life because everything will be provided along the way. Religious priests takes the vow of poverty but diocesan priests do not, however they all live an austere manner of life. <br /><br />Those who advocate the use of artificial method of family planning that are not amongst the poorest are the one’s who do not get out of their comfort zone but rather want pleasure all the time. It is hard for them to accept the natural method because it is something hard, heavy and burden to them. But it is only through fasting and abstinence that everyone can hear the Lord and be in complete discernment with God.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726180438966060623.post-39218927800905813882012-09-06T17:48:50.092-07:002012-09-06T17:48:50.092-07:00..with regards to the last paragraph and last sent.....with regards to the last paragraph and last sentence "educating the uninformed poor couples about the size of family"..we already have the designated government agency for that, we have the DSWD and DOH..(i wonder why even make the RH bill into a law, DOH ever since already introduced the artificial family planning..) all the nurses and doctors in my family and relatives are all advocate of that because that's what they are taught in school..they have been doing all the community health nursing lessons to the poorest families and so with all the nursing students (..huh! i cannot blame them for all the lessons they learn in school..lol.)..but anyway, its their choice..<br />DSWD also are designated for the social welfare and development.. luckily, i also have brothers and priests in the family who are also advocate of the natural family planning..but i have made my own stand..<br /><br />..it is already in the mandate of these government agencies to look after the welfare and education of poor families..<br /><br />RH bill is something for the congress to be busy about..hehe<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726180438966060623.post-12636635357354780312012-09-06T16:49:22.625-07:002012-09-06T16:49:22.625-07:00..in my opinion about the long term solution for p.....in my opinion about the long term solution for poverty would be to make sure that all government funds and appropriation will surely be spent wisely for the people (and i doubt..would be a long term problem also..)<br /><br />here is a simple calculation for the pork barrel. we have 24 senators with P 200 million per year each and we have 250 congressmen with P70 million per year each ..20% of congressmen are partylist representatives..if i am going to multiply the amount of money with the total political seats mentioned, i got a total of P 22,300,000,000.
