To
Damayan-Buluseño,
Greetings of Peace and Joy!
My heartfelt gratitude to all the officers of the association most
especially to my sponsor, Maj. Gen. Cesar F. Fortuno for the wonderful
opportunity you have given me.
I am one of the products of your scholarship program.
With your assistance, I have reached my goal. I have finished my course and have just passed the board
examinations for Electrical Engineering and Master Electrician.
Thank you very much, more power!

Mr.
Editor,
Greetings with God’s inclusive love!
As I read the article of Mr. Rogelio “Elio” Fuentes entitled “Sin-o
An Mas Kristiano?” (June – August ’03 issue), I was surprised and
challenged. As a Chaplain and
Minister of God who takes care of the spiritual needs of the people regardless
of belief and creed, I love to serve the human soul which Jesus Christ saved
with His Holy Blood with genuine humility and utmost concern.
This is why I am reacting positively on the said article.
First, I was saddened by his decision to obligate himself not to act as
Godfather in wedding and baptismal ceremonies, not to take communion during mass
and if he dies, it would be alright with him if no priest would offer mass
services for his body. He is a true
Christian in following the Pastoral Letter of the CBCP on the stand of the
Catholic Church against members of Masonry.
As a Catholic Mason, he obligated himself to follow such un-Christian
policy depriving him of the church practices.
On the other hand, I was greatly challenged by his boldness to express
his feelings and personal stand on his beliefs and principles in life.
Following the footsteps of our beloved heroes like Jose Rizal, Andres
Bonifacio, and other Masons is more Christian than the Friars of their days.
Secondly, I admire him so much and believe he is more Christian by what
he is doing. It is more Christian
to know by heart and follow the Christianity that is taught by Christ and His
disciples in the Bible. Mr. Fuentes
advocated that we should live by example as true Christians rather than just
words without action. Parallel to
what St. James wrote in James 1:22 (RSV), it says: “Be doers of the Word and
not hearers only deceiving yourselves”. Although
I am a Protestant (United Methodist Church), I support Mr. Fuentes for opening
his heart to us. May his example be
a challenge to us. I pray that more
will follow his bold decision to expose the un-Christian practices in any
religion/sect as an eye-opener to everybody.
Keep on your noble task, Mr. Fuentes.
God will greatly bless you. God
is with you always.
