PNOY's Speech Reaction (TV Patrol 25th Anniversary)



Like President Noynoy Aquino, I want to congratulate TV Patrol for their 25 years of serving the people of the Philippines.

PNOY’s speech was very honest yet he never forgot being polite. I believe that the message he wanted to tell especially the news commentators was clearly delivered although people may have different feedback about it. Although, some may think that the President ruined the celebration by pointing out the news anchor of TV Patrol who gave his comment/opinion that made a bad image for the government about news they were reporting.

According to the president’s speech, the comment of the news anchor makes the good news appear to be a not-so-good one and is obviously against the government. Because of this, the people who hear may also be influenced about his opinion and eventually believe that the government is really doing nothing good and the country has no progress at all.

The comment of the president sounds right to me but it may also change if I hear the other side of the story. But as of now, I agree about what the president is telling the news people.


He did not say that it is the responsibility of media to report good news. He said report just the facts. If it is bad news, report it. If it is good news, report it also and no need to speak negatively about it especially if it’s only an opinion. And I agree with that. News is different from stating your comments. Media have to remember that because it is their duty to report facts and only facts, nothing more. They must be very careful about every word that they say because it can affect the people either to discourage or to give them hope.

I believe PNOY didn’t go overboard about commenting. Actually, it is admiring that the president boldly speak about what he thinks is right in front of the people who are involved rather than to speak negatively behind their backs.

If I were the news anchor the president is talking about, I would probably defend myself by telling my side of the story or if I really spoke badly about the government etc. I will reflect about myself and accept my mistakes wholeheartedly. It may be hard but if it will ruin my integrity I will definitely choose to improve for the better.

Wisdom comes from God

Young people tend to be timid and shy to say what's on their mind because they think that they do not have enough knowledge and credibility to deliver a message. But then adults tend to think that because of their age, they know things better than those younger than them. Realize where wisdom is coming from. It's coming from God alone and the Lord can use both young and old, it doesn't really matter, to deliver His message or do something for Him. So young people do not need to fear and adults must not be too proud. All Wisdom comes from God alone.

OCC Parugan Children's Outreach

Last June 4-7, 2013, Emmanuel's Christian Family Life Ministries conducted the Operation Christmas Child Program. It is a program wherein Children are taught about Jesus Christ and they will be receiving donated gifts in shoe boxes. During these days, classes have already started so it is very hard for us, the Sunday School teachers, to compromise with the schedule of the kids. We weren't able to make them go to church for almost a week to attend the teaching program anymore. But this didn't stop us either from pursuing this activity. Instead of making the kids go to us, what we did is to go to them. Our head Sunday school teacher assigned us to different places to teach, some have partners, some didn't, depending on the number of children we are going to teach. Since I only have less than ten students, I was assigned to go alone in Sitio Parugan. I didn't know if I will consider myself blessed  that time because the venue where I will be teaching is the ho...

There is no Fear in the Light

Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? Fear is darkness . And there is only one solution to darkness, it is LIGHT. There can only be darkness when there is an absence of light. Same with our fears, we can overcome all of it using the liberating light of God. The Lord is our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear? Fear is controlled by our doubts but our Faith controls certainty. Fear sees darkness, while faith sees light. While fear sees wickedness, faith sees the goodness of the Lord. Nothing and no one can stop the light of God. So whenever we have the light of God, there can never be a shadow of darkness in our lives.   Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) If we obey His commandments, we follow His examples and...
