We Humbly and Sincerely Pray Oh GOD

A Good Leader with Genuine Leadership...
Leadership is hard to define;
Let us be the ones to define it with justice.
Leadership is like a handful of water;
Let us be the people to share it with those who thirst.

Leadership is not about watching and correcting;
Let us remember it is about listening and connecting.

Leadership is not about telling people what to do;
Let us find out what people want.
Leadership is less about the love of power and more about the power of love.

As we continue to undertake the role of a good leader, let us be affirmed by the servant whom we witness in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Let us walk in the path He has set and let those who will, follow.

Let our greatest passion be compassion.
Our greatest strength, love.
Our greatest victory, the reward of peace.
In leading, let us never fail to follow.
In loving, let us never fail.

This can possibly happen if we think, act, work and pray hand-in-hand.

Here is our family prayer for the future Philippine President:

Almighty Father,

God of power and might, wisdom and justice,
we praise and thank You for the gifts of life, peace and love.
We humbly beseech that You assist us with Your Spirit of counsel and fortitude.

Bless the next Philippine President and other government leaders and officials
that they may always seek many ways of righteousness, justice and mercy.
Grant that they may be enabled by your powerful protection to lead our country with all honesty and integrity.

Give us, O God, leaders whose hearts are large enough to match the breadth of our own souls and give us souls strong enough to follow such leaders of good vision and wisdom.

Give us the hearts to choose the leaders who will work with other leaders and together will sincerely serve the Filipinos with all their heart – no self-interests, no ulterior motives and no personal desires.

Give us leaders who lead this nation to virtue without seeking to impose our kind of virtue on the virtue of others; leaders those who can differ strength from power, growth from greed, leadership from dominance, and real greatness from the trappings of grandiosity.

Give us a government that provides for the advancement of this country and stability of its economy without taking resources from others to achieve it.

We trust You, Great God, to open our hearts to learn from those to whom You speak in different tongues and to respect the life and words of those to whom You entrusted the good of others – in all nations.

We beg you, Our Dear Father, give us the vision as a people to know where national leadership truly lies, to pursue it diligently, to require it to protect human rights for everyone, everywhere.

We ask these things, through Your Son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord, and Our Blessed Mother, Mama Mary with minds open to Your word and hearts that trust in Your eternal care.
Amen.

Myraine, Rainier and Eieo

A Tribute to OUR Dear Madam Cory Aquino

Who she was, she is and she will always be…

A passionate and caring wife to Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino.
A loving and understanding mother to her children.
A sweet and thoughtful Lola to her grandchildren.
A trustworthy friend.
A creative artist, a painter.

A religious and meek Christian.
A prayerful and grateful fellow.
A devoted prayer and democracy advocate.
A woman of prayer, dignity, principles, integrity and empowerment.

An influential people power icon.
A considerate and supportive politician.
The first lady president in the Philippines and in Asia.
Our former president.

Famous. Rich. Loving. Kind. Blessed. Grateful.

Farewell to OUR Beloved Former President… Mrs. Corazon Cojuangco – Aquino…

Your works, words and service to mankind, your legacy will live forever in the hearts of the Filipino as well as those whom you have touched their hearts and changed their lives.

As she joins her Creator in Heaven… her death.

At the age of 76 on August 1, 2009, 3:18 a.m., at the Makati Medical Center, Mrs. Mrs. Corazon Aquino died of cardiopulmonary arrest after complications of colon cancer. She was diagnosed with the disease in March 2008 but kept up public appearances this year. A religious Catholic, she regularly attended weekend Holy Mass until shortly before being admitted to hospital in late June.

All Roman Catholic dioceses had started requiem masses for Aquino, after they held "healing masses". Meanwhile, the government declared a week of mourning for her death. Political figures both in the local and international arena claim that the Filipinos have just lost a mother and a guiding voice of the people.

Also, many individuals around the globe have extended sympathy and expressed their grief; we along with other people from different nations have truly admired her extraordinary courage, determination, and moral leadership, which serve as an inspiration to all and exemplify the best in the Filipino nation.

Again, we thank you. We'll let the yellow ribbon live on, generation to generation.

We pray for your soul – eternal peace and serenity with OUR Creator, Almighty Father.

With Love and Prayers, Myraine, Rainier and Eieo

I Want to Dance with My Lolo Leovy Again

I’ve never had a father. Thank GOD I have had my dear grandfather though. He raised, nurtured, loved and cared for me as if I were his own biological daughter… he is so loving, caring, thoughtful and giving. He gave me the appreciation, passion and affection that I need to be that someone GOD designs me to be. He made me feel loved and blessed; these things… only he could.

For more than 16 years ago before he met his Creator and went up to Heaven, he showed unconditional love and tender loving care not just to me but to most of the people he loved and cherished the most. I miss those days, those times and those years so much, my dearest granddad.

My dearest LOLO unbelievably makes us all laugh, feels relieved and happy, and let us experience the kind of life we all have dreamed of.

I miss him so much… each day that passes especially during the happiest and most rewarding moments of life as well as during those tough times and tests of faith. For I know that if he were only here with us, he’ll surely make us all feel a lot better.

If only I could meet and see you again, I’ll surely hug and kiss you. I won’t let that chance pass by without letting you know how much we love and miss you, how much we cared for you, how much gratitude and longing we have for you.

We pray that this truly happens… even in our dreams – mine, grandmom’s, mom’s as well as my aunt’s, uncle’s and fellow grandchildren. We’ll surely be so happy and fulfilled. Just one great hug, Lolo.

It is true that we lost your pictures, our photos of joyful moments with you and of great times together during the fire last May 7 of this year. Yet, forgetting your image and facial features would never happen for you are in our hearts then, now and forever.

We miss you so much, Lolo Leovy. How I wish my son meets you in person to smile at you, give you his big hug and throw you a loving kiss. But don’t you worry, Lolo, I’ll make sure he’ll know the best in you, the best granddad in the world.

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my grandfather again…

If I could steal one final glance, one final step,
one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my grandfather again…

I miss you, Lolo. I pray that these words and acts of love would reach heaven. Hope you see and feel how dear you are to me, to us. We love you so much. Thanks for always being our dearest angel.

Your loving granddaughter, Myraine

Click to listen to this wonderful song. Please help us make him feel our LOVE. Thanks!
