Wala Iyan sa Super Nanay Ko!
My mother is the world’s best Mom! Iyan ang madalas kong marinig mula sa mga kakilala ko. Pero kung iisa-isahin ko marahil ang mga nagawa ng nanay ko, sasabihin ko sa kanilang “wala iyan sa nanay ko!”
Tarcela Delfin ang pangalan ng aking inay. Bunso siya sa limang magkakapatid. Grade 6 lamang ang natapos niya dahil hindi siya pinag-aral ng mga lolo at lola ko. Naniniwala silang ang babae ay dapat na nasa tahanan lamang kapag ito’y nag-asawa na.

SEMANA SANTA
Paghinumdom sa pagpasakit ug pagkabanhaw
Semana’ng ang pagkamapasayloon giuhaw,
Tininuod nga penitensiya ug indulhensiya,
Mga dagkong hagit kini sa konsiyensa,
Niining panahon sa kahaw-ang ug puasa,
Pagutom ug dili pagpatuyang dasigon ta,
Pagpanglupig, pagkamasalaypon iwahing ta,
Paghinulsol, sa kamakanunayon ipatigbabaw ta,
“MY FATHER: MY HERO”
For the Father’s Day Celebration in Italy (March 19, 2013)
ACFIL Editorial – March 2013 Edition
A Father in the Filipino context and culture has a very significant role in the family. An old saying which I believe can provide us a clear image of a father says ―Ang ama ay haligi ng tahanan . It means that the father is the ―pillar of a home. What is a pillar? .. it is any upright, supporting part, that makes a building stand. Considering the father as a pillar would mean that he is the prominent supporter of a home. We consider him as someone who keeps our home standing strong and firm against the attack of any intruder. We also consider him as the provider of a home, the breadwinner.
Our very own culture has a very high regard to fathers of every family.
FINLIT SEMINAR
By: Gina dela Cruz
Yes! we made it again. The combined efforts of ACFIL and Pinoywise brought success to another Finlit seminar last 24th February 2013 at Via Morgari 14. We would like to thank our attendees who came on time in spite of the bad weather. The one day seminar includes the financial planning and possible investment for OFW’s and their families as well as helping OFWs in addressing barriers to reintegration.
After the seminar 3 attendees decided to start saving for their future by making their initial investment to SIDC cooperative.
The collaboration and complete attendance of the FCs in the spirit of ―kapit-Bisig‖ was not in vain because the participants responded positively to the challenge.
So friends out there don‘t miss the next seminar that you may become part of this worldwide struggle to make migration bring positive impact to the lives of many Filipinos!!!

The mood was all festive. Everyone was dazzling and dressed for the momentous occasion. “Sinulog Siyagit ug Kusog! Pit Senyor, Pit Senyor,” the crowd chanted as Filipino Catholics trooped to the Holy Family Cathedral to celebrate the ‘Sinulog’ Festival.
SINULOG, SINULOG…MALIPAYONG PAGSAULOG!!!

NAGNUOD ANG DAMGO NI KITO SA BAG-ONG TUIG
“Salamat kaayo nga misugot ka Digna nga makigsawo uban kanako ug panihapon. Wala na kuy pangayoon pa.” hinay’ng pamulong ni Kito samtang nagpiyong. “Hoy Kito, kinsa na si Digna?” singhag ni Kikay sa iyang bana nga naghayang sa higdaanan.
“Ah, Kikay buntag na diay? Nakabasa man gud ko ug magasin bahin sa romansa. Akong nadamgohan ang nindot nga estorya.” kalma’ng tubag ni Kito.

Of course, the rich are spending Christmas in great style and perhaps with a big bang, with expensive gifts and luxurious parties. They travel abroad and buy branded jewelries, perfumes and luxury items and throw parties left and right. They send gifts to the powerful and the wealthy people in government and in high society, to judges, prosecutors and the police. They’d prepare red envelops with cash, in crisp thousand peso bills or five hundreds, for godchildren who shall line up to kiss their perfumed hands. They have giant Christmas trees and multi-colored lanterns that consume a lot of electricity. The rich can afford all these and more.

I recall a Sunday afternoon performance by young thespians from Davao City at the regally cavernous Hall of Liberty set at the elevated end of beautiful Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills. It was about the Catholic church’s Padre Diego (Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores) and his young assistant Pedro Calungsod spreading the gospel to the Chamorros in 1672 in the Marianas. Their proselytizing greatly enraged a local headman, which led to their persecution and ultimately death.
Ang gasa, kini ang butang hinatag, kini magikan sa buhat nga paghatag, dako ang ngisi sa modawat ug gasa sama kadako sa nagpadungog-dungog basin pa diay, makadawat usab siya’g gasa.
Ang gasa mahimo’ng usa ka pasidungog, pagpahalipay, pagpaila sa dakong kaibog. Walay makatupong sa kalalim sa bation, kon motunol na ang kamot sa naghatag, ug kini sugaton sa kamot nga modawat sa hinatag.
