Barangay FIESTA 2009

Exodus 23:16 "Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.

Barangay fiesta in the Barangay,where there is an overall ambiance of merriment. Many different activities occur in the days or weeks leading up to the fiesta. These include beauty contests, discos, balls, church services, street parades and other entertainment.

Feast is a tradition of Filipinos and the time of reunion and reuniting with friends and relatives. Before, you can enter any house and eat. Home owners call all the passers by to eat and join the feast...but nowadays few only is still practicing that. They have selected visitors and not open house anymore, maybe due to economic crunch and personal security.

Our Barangay Fiesta for the first time was celebrated last December 8,2009. Visitors were confused of the real date of our Barangay Fiesta...well it depends to the Barangay Captain ,I jokingly answered. From June 4, to first Saturday of June and now December 8. Well they said it was the birth date of the Patron....any certificate of Birth? This coming June confused visitors from afar will surely come. For me..anybody could Celebrate the way they wanted and the date of their choice... L O L. Kidding aside the constantly changing of Feast Day had brought not only confusions but arguments to the residents... and I really not liking it....

Well what still important is our perception of Celebrating Feast...the way to give back to God, to feed those who are hungry and give water to all thirsty.

To some it can only just one Tradition...but for me it is a special occasion for our God.

Living Hero

“Our planet is filled with heroes, young and old, rich and poor, man, woman of different colors, shapes and sizes. We are one great tapestry. Each person has a hidden hero within; you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need.
“So to each and every person inside in this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve. As I always tell to my co-volunteers … you are the change that you dream as I am the change that I dream and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be.” –EFREN PENAFLORIDA CNN Hero of the Year

Efren Peñaflorida gives Filipino youth an alternative to gang membership through education. He gives poor children knowledge. His Dynamic Teen Company’s 10,000 members have taught basic reading and writing to 1,500 kids living in the slums.

In a nation known for corruption and killer politicians rises EFREN PENAFLORIDA, a candle in the dark, unafraid to share himself, unselfish to live his own life.

I am so proud of you Efren and your team… Hope your twigs grow into branches and your flowers into fruit.
Mabuhay PHILIPPINES!!!
