(Gawad San Lorenzo Continued from page 1)

ent is Mr. Edison Pinlac. Edison or Pres as we call him, is a native of Pampanga, married to Ludy Pinlac and has three (3) sons namely; Son Louie 11, Nicole Son 8, and John Benedict 2. He came to Korea in 1995 and worked in Daegu at that time. He became a volunteer in 1997 through the persuasion of his wife. He first joined the Steward Committee and later on as Altar Server. With his passion in serving the Lord he continued to be an active volunteer up to the present and seldom misses church and community activities. With his innate desire to help, he willingly shared his time, effort and whole self to the community. He also joined the Lay Eucharistic Ministry and presently serving as the president of HFCC. He believed that service with humility is what the Lord asked us to do. His dream for the community is for it to become one whole family and he wishes to continue to serve the Lord for as long as he lives. He is a simple family man with a big heart who is willing to be of service anytime. He said that he was born not only for himself but also for others and for God whom he will serve forever. Being a migrant worker for so many years, he survived all the trials in his life because of his strong faith in God. Like St. Lorenzo Ruiz, Mr. Pinlac has only one desire in his life, to continue serving the Lord through his people. Volunteer of the Year Award This year, a new category of award was launched to give due appreciation and recognition to HFCC volunteers who have exemplified dedication and commitment in doing volunteer work specifically to their respective committees and to the whole community, in general.
(Lets get to know Continued from page 1)

Mr. Cuevas came to Korea in 1991 and became a volunteer in 1999 through his wife who was also a volunteer. At first, he joined the Altar Server and Sports Committee then, later the Lay Eucharistic Ministry. He actively participates in the communitys activities and supports its programs and plans. At present he is an active member of the Sports Committee without neglecting his duties as Lay Minister. By nature hes a jolly person and loves to make funny jokes. His being a migrant worker away from his family and loved ones are what makes him strive harder to become a servant of the Lord through the community, the HFCC. In his opinion, serving Him should come from the bottom of ones heart and with humility. Be sincere and never do things for personal interests or wait for praises for what you have done. He suggested that as a volunteer we should develop the attitude of openness, always be true to ones self and to the community where you belong and continue serving the Lord by volunteering. In behalf of the HFCC, our sincere CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Edison Pinlac, Gawad San Lorenzo Ruiz Awardee and Mr. Manny Cuevas, Volunteer of the Year 2010. May your tribe continue to multiply and may the Lord bless you always so that you may fulfill the desires of your hearts. The abovementioned awards were given on September 22, 2010, during the celebration of the Holy Mass at the Tongsong Auditorium officiated by His Eminence Archbishop Osvaldo Padilla, DD, Apostolic Nuncio to South Korea. This year, she joined the GBKP 2010 contest because she wanted to prove that she can make it to the top. As she always says: A good beginning makes a good ending. And thats what happened to her. She wanted to tell everyone: Magkaisa tayo dahil ang tagumpay ng isa ay tagumpay ng lahat. Magtiwala sa sarili at pagtibayin ang pananalig sa Panginoong DIYOS dahil hanggat nanalig ka walang imposible, makakaya mo ang lahat. The GBKP 2010 contest ends but the purpose of the event continues. And that is to share the true values of a Filipino and to show the Philippine culture abroad especially in South Korea at the same time helping our fellow Kababayans who are and will be in need. To the reigning Ginoo at Binibining Kalinangang Pilipino 2010, may you continue to perform the roles entrusted to you. Congratulations to all!!!

gian ng bawat Filipino, sa gitna ng ating mga kasiyahan o pagsubok dito sa South Korea, ibigay alay natin ito para sa ating pamilya, bansa, at sa Diyos." The Binibining Kalinangang Pilipino 2010 was Lorna Rosales. She is 29 years old. She was born and raised in Quezon Province. She is currently working as an EPS worker in Bucheon. She came to Korea with a dream of finishing her college when she goes back home to our country. She studied B.S. Education at Enverga University. She loves playing badminton and dancing as well. She spends her free time being an active volunteer of Bucheon Filipino Migrant Community (BFMC). She was awarded as Best Muse in Suwon Basketball League. Last year, she got the title of Ms. BFMC 1st runner-up in Mr. and Ms. BFMC 2009, a fund-raising project of the community.

MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT PO!!

IGINUHIT NG TADHANA
Sis Ervie Glory Kapalaran daw ng tao'y iginuhit ng tadhana Mula sa pagsilang, kapalaran ay nakatakda Kung ikaw ay maging bigo, kaakibat ay luha Masakit man tanggapin, pero ito'y hatol ng lumikha. Magulang na anak iginapang, anak sa pamantasan Maging bantog na tagapagtanggol, pagdating ng araw Subalit nabigo ang pangarap ng pobreng magulang Sa nalalapit na pagtatapos anak ay pumanaw. Ang magkasintahang tapat sa bawat isa Magagandang pangarap. buhay na masagana Sa magiging supling lahat ay inihanda Kay lupit ng kapalaran, binata'y napikot ng iba. Sa pag-aasawa may kany- kanyang kapalaran Hindi batayan, masaganat marangyang kasalan Baka dumating ang araw, subukin ng maykapal Si Adan ay natukso, si Eva ay iniwanan. Lahat ng pangyayari ay mula sa Maykapal Kabiguan at tagumpay ay dapat pasalamatan Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa, si JESUS ang sandigan Pangarap na may panalangin lahat ay mapagtatagumpayan.

M-insan pay parating na naman ang malabagyong paligsahan Maglilipana sa Tongsong Auditorium, mga diyosa ng kagandahan Maliit man, subalit nakapupuwing kanyang angking katangian Kaya bawal kumurap, kung ayaw mong mapag-iwanan. A-nupat, majormajor siyay kapatid ng aking kaibigan
Kaya naman suporta koy sa kanya, oras siyay pinaglaanan Ibilang na ako sa mga taga hangang manonood sa unahan Dahil simpatikat tahimik, kaya naman siyay hinangaan.

R-elax ka lang habang siyay nasa entablado, dooy rumarampa Malamang sa kanya ikay mamangha, gilas niya sa isip di mawala Baka mabighani sa kanya at hindi mapigilang letratoy magpakuha Silbing alaala sa minsan niyang pagsalit pagbisita dito sa Korea.
Tiyak maaaliw, lungkot ay mapapawi, sulit ang oras mo Masaya ka na, nakapag-ambag ka pa, tulong para sa mga tao Isang napakainam na patimpalak, simbahan ang may proyekto.

I-wanan pansamantala ang problema, ditoy makihalubilo

E-kisan na ang petsa sa kalendaryo, bientedos ang numero Kaya panawagan sa mga butihin at hihiranging mga hurado Sa manok ko, hindi na dapat na malito sa pagbigay ng grado Hindi na masama kung ipagkakaloob ang isang daang porsiyento.

Patimpalak 2010

K-ris daw ang ginamit ni lapu-lapu noong siyay lumaban

Talinot kagandahan naman kailangang dito sa kalinangan Kaya naman hindi nag-atubili, sumali sa paligsahan Itong binibining maliit na may taglay na kagandahan.

GINOO at BINIBINING KALINANGAN

Ni:Michael B. Balba Sa nakaraang Ginoo at Binibining Kalinangan, Mga kandidato ay hinahangaan, Sa tula kong ito ay pararangalan, Pagkat natatangi at sila'y huwaran. Mayro'n mang umuwi na hindi nagwagi, Sa kanilang lahat ako'y bumabati, Sila ang patunay lahing kayumanggi, Tunay na magaling sa bawat sandali. Sa talino't galing na ipinamalas, Tunay na paghanga ang iginagawad, Sa mga kalahok na binata't dilag, Ako'y nagpupuri sadyang nagagalak. Ang kulturang pinoy na kinagisnan, Nang dahil sa inyo aming natunghayan, Kayo ang ehemplo na magpapatunay, Saan man makarating pinoy tayong tunay. Kahit na malayo sa mahal na bayan, Hindi nalilimot ating pinagmulan, Ang kultura natin na kinagisnan, Ipinagmamalaki kahit na saanman. Sa mga Ginoo't-Binibining Kalinangan, Papuri't paghanga sa inyo ang alay, Mabuhay ang pinoy,mabuhay...mabuhay... Lahing kayumanggi na dakilang tunay.

R-amdam na ng kalaban na silay matatalbugan Sa tindig, lakad, talento at pagsagot dooy mahuhusgahan Matalo o manalo, suporta koy sa kanya mananahan Malaman nalang kung sino ang mag-uuwi ng karangalan. I-snabin na ang iba, huwag lang ang idolo kong kinagigiliwan
Huwag din magkakamaling siyay tuksuhin o pagtawanan Baka sa bandang huli manok ninyo ang mapag-iwanan At ang idolo ko ang siyang magkamal ng palakpakan.

S-alamat sa mga hurado na malilinaw ang mga mata Masinsin na pagsusurit pagkilatis ditoy kailangan talaga Patas na labanan, walang kinikilingan kundi pabonggahan Upang maipamalas ang isang patimpalak na makatotohanan.

Gandang pinay

S-a lahat ng mga kakilala, kaibigan at barkada Minsan pay lumalapit, hinihingi inyong suporta Sa internet pangalan niyay ating ikampanya Marie Kris Solis, huwag kaligtaang itala. O-bvious naman simple niyang kagandahan Na umaagaw, tumatawag-pansin sa mga kalalakihan Tila si Cinderella, itutok ang mata at siyay pagmasdan Taglay ang gandang Pilipina, karapat-dapat sa kalinangan. L-ahat naman sila ay magagandang tunay Subalit isa lang ang dapat tanghaling makulay Tulad sa bahaghari may lumulutang na matingkad Na nakaaakit, kaparis sa bulaklak na namumukadkad. I-law na babasag sa madilim na paningin Kahit nakasalamin, masisilaw kapag sa kanyay tumingin Ginhawa ang bitbit, animoy hinipan ng banayad na hangin Hangad koy makamit ang tagumpay, iyan ang aking dalangin. S-implicity is the next for success, ika nga ng iba Sabi pa nila ito rin daw ay isang mainam na pagpapala Patunayan sa madla kung ito ba ay isa lamang haka-haka Kaya abangan, bumili na ng tiket upang inyong makita.

MULING saksihan ANG KULTURANG PILIPINO

Dale Jeremy G. Tavarro

akatutuwang balikan ang mga sinaunang kapanahunan lalo na noong dekada 60 at 70. Kuwento sa akin noon ng aking lola, ang mga nagsusuyuan na magkakasintahan daw ay parang mga ibon kung sila ay pagmamasdan, nakakatuwa. Nandiyan na nakabantay sa labas ang binata sa bahay ng dalaga. May kung anuanong ibinibigay na mga prutas, kakanin, bulaklak at iba pa. Pinagsisilbihan ang pamilya niya pinagsasalok ng tubig, nagsisibak ng kahoy, ipinagluluto, tinutulungang maglaba at hinaharana pa. handang magpaalipin makuha lamang ang loob ng kanyang sinisinta hanggang sa mauwi na sa pamamanhikan at kasalan. Tila isang prinsesa kung ituring ang mga dalagang pilipina noon. Tunay na ginagalang at iniingatan. Kaya naman kapag sumapit na ang alas singko ng hapon kailangan nasa bahay na ang dalaga. Sa pananamit naman halos mata na lamang ang makikita sa kanila upang maiwasang sila ay bastusin. Maria Clara ika nga. Anong gara din na makita sila na nakamalong at bakya o di kayay baro at saya. Ang mga kalalakihan naman naka barong tagalog. Nakalulungkot isipin na sa bilis ng mga panahon marami na ang nabago bunga na rin nang paglago ng ekonomiya at teknolohiya. Ang mga kabataan na nagmamano bilang pagbibigay ng respeto sa matatanda ay unti-unti ng nawawala. Kaugalian na bibihira na lamang natin makikita sa kasalukuyan. Marahil sa takbo ng makabagong henerasyon sadyang

naiwan na ang lumang kaugalian, klase ng pananamit at unti-unti ng nawawala ang magagandang asal na minana pa natin sa ating mga ninuno. Subalit kung ating babalikan, tayo ay mga Pilipino na may sariling kultura na dapat panatilihin hanggang sa mga susunod pa na henerasyon.. Sa kasamaang palad dulot na rin ng kahirapan sa ating inang bayan marami ang nangingibang bansa upang maghanap buhay. Kaya naman nagagaya na rin nila ang mga paguugali at kultura ng mga banyaga marahil dahil na rin sa katagalan sa paglagi nila doon. Kung ihahambing natin ang kasalukuyan sa nakaraan halos pagtawanan na ang nakalipas, anila kabaduyan na lamang ito. Sabi rin ng iba wala na ring saysay kung babalikan pa ang nakaraan dahil yun ay lipas na. dapat din natin mabatid na kung wala ang nakaraan wala rin tayo. At kung tuluyan at hahayaang mawawala ito, paano pa tayo tatawaging mga Pilipino? Marahil dala na rin ng may iniidolo tayong lahi o bansa na kung ano ang uso siya ang sikat at sinusuot. Minsan naitanong ko sa aking sarili, paano kaya kung tayo ang tinanghal na pinakamalakas na bansa? Marahil tayo siguro ang hinahanganan, ginagaya at iniidolo ng mga karatig bayan at maaaring sinasalita pa nila ang ating wika. Anong gandang pagmasdan siguro kung makita natin na ang mga dayuhan na nakasuot ng baro at saya, nakasalakot at nakabakya.

Mahabang panahon na rin tayong hindi nakakakita ng mga sinaunang pananamit. Ating matutunghayan ang magaganap na Ginoo at Binibining Kalinangan Pilipino. Natatandaan ko pa noong isang taon ang ginanap na patimpak. Nagtungo ako sa likod ng intablado noon dahil sa may inaayos kaming linya ng kuryente na nasira. Napansin ko ang bawat kalahok na abala sa ibat ibang bagay halos hindi na sila maka-usap sa kaabalahan. May kinakabahan, nagmamadali at naghahanapan, nakatutuwa. Minsan pa ay ipapamalas nila sa atin upang ipakita at ipaalaala sa lahat ang kulturang dapat nating ingatan at pahalagahan. Sama sama nating tunghayan ang kanilang pagpapakita ng mga kaaya-aya at makulay na tradisyonal na kasuotan. Ibat iba man ang kanilang mga talento at kaayusan ay sinikap pa rin nilang sariwain ang kasaysayan ng ating kultura tulad ng mga katutubong sayaw. Pagpapakilala rin ng mga produkto ng bawat probinsya o bayan. Sa maiksing panahon ng pagtatanghal nila ay tila naramdaman ko na bumalik ako sa kapanahunan. Napakasarap isipin kung nasa panahon nila ay nabuhay na ako. Damang dama ko sa aking puso ang maging isang tunay at maipagmamalaking Pilipino. Sa patimpalak na ito masasabi kong lahat tayo ay panalo sapagkat minsan pa ay ipinamamalas ng sambayanan Pilipino dito sa korea ang pagkaka-isa at iyon ang tinutukoy na panalo, taas noo na dapat nating ipagmalaki sa lahat.

KAIBIGAN
Ni Michael B. Balba Kahit bago pa lang na magkakilala, Kaibigan akong narito tuwina, Huwag iisiping ika'y nag-iisa, Pagkat ako'y lagi na makakasama. Hindi ko gagawin ang ikaw ay iwan, Pagkat nababatid iyong pinapasan, Ako kaibigan ay masasandalan, Sa iyong pagluha ika'y dadamayan. Sa mga pagsubok huwag patatalo, Pagkat sa tuwina ay narito ako, Sa pananalangin laging sabay tayo, Upang malampasan pagsubok sa iyo. Tayo ay tatawag sa Poong Maykapal, Upang ang igawad ay biyayang tunay, Ang bigat ng dibdib na 'yong pinapasan, Sa tulong ng Diyos maglalahong tunay. Kaibigan sana ay huwag limutin, Mayroong liwanag matapos ang dilim, Ang pagsubok sa'yo ating kakayanin, Basta hawak kamay sa pananalangin.

his is one I can honestly say I have never seen circulating in the emails so; if it touches you, you may want to forward it. Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this.... The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed separate from the grave clothes. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!'

Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to The table was furnished perfectly, and then see. The other disciple outran Peter and got the servant would wait, just out of sight, until there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. was finished. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, Now if the master were done eating, he while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up was folded up and lying to the side. that napkin and toss it onto the table.

KARUNUNGAN:
Bro. Joel Tavarro Ang Diyos ay hindi sinungaling, tulad ng tao. Ang isipan Niyay hindi nagbabago. Ang sinasabi Niya ay Kanyang ginagawa. Ang Kanyang pangakoy tinutupad Niya. (Bilang 23:19)

arami sa mga kababayan natin ang hindi pa nakababatid kung sino ang Diyos na Makapangyarihan o si El Shaddai. May ilan ding nagtataka kung bakit may umiiyak, tumatawa, kumakanta at sumasayaw para sa Panginoon kapag may ginaganap na mga pagtitipon o Gawain saan man panig ng bansa. Sa lumang tipan, ginagawa ito ng mga Israelita kapag sumasamba upang papurihan ang Diyos na buhay. Ngunit sino nga ba talaga ang Diyos Ama at si Jesu-Cristo? (Juan 8:58) Ako at ang Ama ay iisa. Ang El Shaddai ay hango sa wikang Hebreo na ang ibig sabihin ng EL ay God o Diyos. Doon siya nagtayo ng dambana at tinawag niyang El-Elohe-Israel, na ang ibig sabihin, ang Diyos ay Diyos ng Israel (Genesis 33:20) Ang Israel noong kapanahunan ay isa lamang itong lahi at hindi pa ipinapangalan sa bansa, mula ng makalaya sila sa Egipto doon pa lamang tinawag na bansa. Ang ibig sabihin naman ng SHADDAI ay Almighty o ang Makapangyarihang Diyos. Nang siyamnaput siyam na taon na si Abraham, napakita sa kanya ang Panginoon at sinabi: Ako ang Makapangyari-

hang Diyos. Sumunod ka sa akin at ingatan mong walang dungis ang iyong sarili habang ikaw ay nabubuhay. (Genesis 17:1) Inulit muli sa aklat ng (Exodo 3:14) Sinabi ng Diyos, Akoy si Ako Nga. Sabihin mong sinugo ka ni Ako Nga, ang Makapangyarihang Diyos ng iyong mga ninuno, ng Diyos nina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob. At ito ang pangalang itatawag nila sa akin magpakailanman.

walang Akoy si Ako Nga. Sino ka ba? tanong nila. Sumagot si Jesus, Akoy yaong sinabi ko na sa inyo mula pa noong una. (Juan 8:24-25) Sumagot si Jesus, Sinasabi ko sa inyo: bago ipinanganak si Abraham, Akoy Ako Na. (Juan 10:30)

Ang El Shaddai DWXI - Prayer Partners Foundation International (PPFI) ay hindi ibang sekta, hindi ito ay ibang relihiyon. Konektado Sa aklat na ito, inuutusan ng Diyos si Abraham ito sa Simbahang Romano Katoliko at solidong na makipag-usap sa Paraon upang sila ay may pananampalatayang Katoliko na itinatag palayain na sa Egipto buhat sa pagkakaalipin ng ni Jesu-Cristo noong 33AD. 400 taon. Mahigit sa labing- walong libo ang mga pangako ng Diyos na makikita sa Banal na Layunin ng El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners aklat mula sa Genesis hanggang sa aklat ng Foundation International na ihayag sa lahat ang Pahayag. Isa sa mga ito ay matutunghayan sa salita ng Diyos ang kanyang kadakilaan, aklat ng (Exodo 23:25) na ang wika Ako ang katapatan, kapangyarihan, kabutihan at pagMakapangyarihang Diyos na siya lamang nin- ibig. Nang sa gayon mabigyan ng kapayapaan yong paglilingkuran. Kung magkagayon, pasa- sa isip, puso at kalooban ang mga taong batbat saganain ko kayo sa pagkain at inumin, at ila- ng suliranin at kaguluhan sa buhay. Mabigyan ng kagalingan ang lahat ng uri ng karamdalayo sa anumang karamdaman. mang pisikal at espirituwal, at higit sa lahat, Sa Bagong Tipan, binanggit din ng alagad ni tumanggap ang bawat isa ng kaligtasang alok Jesus na si Apostol Juan sa kanyang aklat na ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang Bugtong Kaya sinabi ko sa inyo na mamatay kayo sa na Anak, ang Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. inyong mga kasalanan kung hindi kayo manini-

MGA HIMALA NI EL SHADDAI

At anumang hingin ninyo sa panananalangin at tatangapin ninyo, kung may panananalig kayo. (Mateo 21:22)

araming mga Katolikong Pilipino ang dumadalo sa banal na gawain ni El Shaddai sa tuwing may pagtitipon na ginaganap. Kapag sumasapit ang anibersaryo dito sa Korea, ito ay dinadaluhan ng ibat ibang kapatiran buhat sa malalayong lugar. Marami ang umaasa at naniniwala na tutugunin ng Diyos ang kanilang mga kahilingan. Sa pagtitipon na ito, may ilan ang humihiling na magkaroon ng anak, maganda o magtagumpay sa buhay, maisaayos ang kanilang kinakaharap na mga problema sa pamilya, sa pinansiyal at iba pang mga bagay. Ang Panginoon ay tapat sa kanyang mga pangako, ipinagkakaloob Niya ang mga bagay na imposible. Ginagawa Niya ito upang mapapurihan at kilanlin na isa Siyang Diyos na Makapangyarihan. Dahil sa Siya ang Dakilang mangggamot sa lahat ng karamdaman, walang bagay na hindi Niya kayang gawin kung kanyang kalooban. Nais ng Panginoon na matuto tayong tumawag at sa Kanya lamang umasa.

han ng Diyos. Kaya nilalaan nila ang oras dito at pagbabalik bilang pasasalamat sa mga himalang ginawa ni El Shaddai sa kanilang mga buhay. Katulad ko, anibersaryo din nang una akong dumalo dito taong 2006 at iyon na rin ang pagtawag sa akin upang maglingkod sa Kanyang banal na ubasan. Dati rin akong taga-hanga ng mga magagaling magsulat sa pahayagang ito. Minsan nangarap na makapagsulat ng tula at mapasama sa makakata. Hiniling ko kay El Shaddai na makapagsulat dito sa pahayagan ng sambayanan hindi upang hangaan ng mga tao bagkus magamit ito upang Siya ay aking mapapurihan. Ang simpleng kahilingan ko ay nagtuloy-tuloy na tila tubig na dumadaloy sa batis ng kasaganahan.

Isang buhay na nagpapatotoo at hindi ikinahihiyang ipagsigawan ang kabutihan ni EL SHADDAI sa ginawang pagbabago sa aking buhay Subalit ang humihingiy dapat manalig at huwag mag-aalinlangan; sapagkat ang nagMay mga kapatiran din na patuloy na nagpapa- aalinlangan ay parang alon sa dagat na tinagamit sa Panginoon bilang pagtanaw sa kabuti- taboy ng hangin kahit saan.
