Above is an excerpt from Joey Velasco's speech at the start of his Book Launching and First Solo Exhibit in Art Asia. His book is entitled "They Have Jesus: The Stories of the Children of Hapag" and was launched on Oct. 13, 2006.
This video contains just snippets of the book "They Have Jesus" based on his obra "Hapag ng Pag-asa" (Table of Hope).
A sad eye-opener but has inspired me to prepare my heart for the coming of Jesus this Advent. May this video clip inspire us to give and love more! - Vannie

After 5 years, my elder brother Jude flew back in Cebu with his family for a month stay vacation. I envy that long rest days. Me...I only had an approved 5 days leave! We thought of it as a first reunion after our Mom's death. It was memorable especially when you see your nephews and nieces grown so big and starting to converse with you. Actually, our last meeting happened after my marriage with Ana. We spent our vacation in Bohol somewhere in Panglao Island (oh, nice place).
Thanks to Jude and wife Tes for being the sponsor of our stay in the Plantation Bay Resort Mactan Cebu. The place is awesome! Nothing in Manila can beat this hotel resort. I guess, they have the biggest pool in Philippines. We stayed in a room in a compound with its own small island pool. Sorry, I have not taken any picture of it. Breakfast was great! I love filipino treats. Fresh fruits, mangoes...oh no place like home!
My favorite part was the kiddy pool. It has a bubble massage as you settle yourself along the side. You won't be missing it, there are carved seats for comfort. I was having fun then seeing my son Kim, so happy playing with his cousins...which I believe he doesn't know any about blood relative at his age. We spent time also in the lagoon...very nice.
I should say, in one simple word...it was fun. However, we missed Ana. She was not able to come with us to Cebu due to work commitment. Thanks to Agnes and husband Bong for the logistics.
If you have budget, try this resort. High five!

Typhoon “Lando” (international codename Hagibis), on the other hand, has maintained its strength as it continued to move away from the country.

I guess this is the reason why Paeng was invited in our CBN day in P&G Cabuyao Plant as our main guest. I am very impressed the way he gave and still giving pride to Filipinos. If my memory serves me well, he mentioned about in one international event he had, as he was about to take his stance for a throw, he heard from behind critics about Filipinos. They said about using coconut to practice bowling. Ah man...big mistake. Obviously, Paeng heard it and that made him thrive hard to practice and eventually reached such an esteem in the world of bowling. I was surprised knowing that Paeng have designed a bowling ball by accident. It happened in one of his tournament wherein, he was having a hard time getting the grip of his skill. He noticed that the lane has excessively slippery. What he did was, he got himself a sandpaper and started sanding the ball and he said it worked! Now, you can view his patented ball in major bowling alleys here in Philippines. By the way, when he was a kid, he used to play golf as his first sport.
