All church servants of the Archdiocese of Manila gathered at SMX Convention Hall, Mall of Asia (MOA) on June 27, 2009. The event was spearheaded by the Arzobispado servants community, under the coordination of Rev. Fr. Genaro “Genie” Diwa. There were 5500 attendees.
Fr. Genie also delivered a discourse on the importance of Sunday in the church. He traced its historical accounts from the old Jewish culture, to Jesus’ era, and to the present times. He critiqued how the laity’s activities during Sundays changed from generation to generation.
Another speaker was Rev. Fr. Godwin Tatlonghari. He discussed the responsibilities of each community in the church. To cite some, altar servers, lectors and commentators, extraordinary ministers (lay ministers), etc.
During the forum, Former Chief Justice Artemio “Art” Panganiban was one of the panelists. He said, “love and justice go hand in hand.” One cannot exist without the other. He testified that before he gives a final court decision, he prays first. He is by the way an extraordinary minister in his parish. The forum was hosted by Sis. Bubbles of DZMM and Rev. Fr. Jason Laguerta, a co-PAGOROPOD (organization of seminarians, Diocese of Sorsogon) member in the seminary then.
The congress was highlighted by the appearance of His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal B. Rosales. His message, “Without Sunday, we cannot live.” He stressed the meaning of the Pascal Mystery in relation to our day to day lives. He also thanked all servants for offering their time and service to the church.
God bless all who serve in any other means.

The last day of the thrill. By this time, I had a privilege to spent lunch with the bishop of the diocese, Bp. Arturo M. Bastes, S.V.D., Coadjutor Bishop of Sorsogon, along with some other priests. I also visited major seminary, home of the clergy, and minor seminary. The minor and major seminaries are my mother schools.

For thrill seekers and mountaineers, here’s something for you to explore! Why not trek a river and picnic at Bayugin Falls? A 20-minute tricycle ride from the town of Bulusan to Brgy. San Francisco. Then, a 20-minute walk to the falls culminates the hiking. The path was mossy and slippery. A steeply descent to the falls made my knees shake! Haha!!! If you have watched Kingkong, the location looks like its setting.
One hour of shooting. Then, a rain threat made us get back to the base site. There had no cottages to shelter my DSLR. Hehe!!! Along with me, by the way, were Baoy, a local ally, and Anthony, a boy tour guide.
Baoy
In the afternoon, Baoy and I had a little “spirit.” I got drunk, but still shot the bell fry. I climbed its roof top. Hehe! What if I fell, huh!…Scary… Just look at the photos below how tall it is!

I bought a big lobster only for Php 400.00 ($8.1). It weighed 1.4 kls. Not bad.
In the evening, I had my cousin cook simmered it in coconut milk along with unripened jackfruit. Muy delicioso! I spent my dinner at the beach along with my cousins and their families. Hhhmm… I partnered it with grilled fish and pork chop!
A superb night, huh!
