Welcome to my new blog series I entitled The Holy Bible. I will be presenting synopsis about the different books that comprise the greatest book ever written on earth. For my initial presentation I will be presenting the Gospel according to John.

This book is also known as “The Gospel of Love” and was written by the most intimate personal friend of Jesus in the persona of John the beloved. John has won the affections of Christians all over the world who turn to it first for inspiration. Because of its universal appeal, this Gospel is the first to be translated into a foreign language or dialect, and it is the most widely distributed of the Gospels.

His writing places great emphasis on Christ as the Son of God, co-equal with the God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. John focused on the uniqueness of Jesus, portraying Him as the Creator who became flesh and dwelt among men as the Lamb of God “who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).



Next week I will be posting about the Book of Matthew. Until then, keep on reading your Bibles and discover the goodness of God!

Being What You Are

Have you seen the hit movie Babe?


Babe is a 1995 Australian film that tells the story of a pig who wants to be a sheep dog. There was even a character in the movie, a duck to be exact (named Ferdinand) , who wakes the whole farm each morning by stealing the cock's job of crowing. It really was funny.

But is it really possible for a pig to become a sheep dog or a duck to be a cock or a rooster? In nature, that cannot be possible! But in Christ, nothing is impossible! For in a second, Jesus has the power to change a pig into a new creature (figuratively speaking a man being compared to a pig because of its sinful nature).

Most of the time, we would hear our pastor emphasize as a reference to his sermon a Bible passage from 2 Corinthians 5:17 -

"Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come."

Sincerely, what is the relevance of this Bible verse in our Christian life? Was it just among our favorite memory verses that we have to recite everytime our pastor would make a reference from it in the middle of his sermon.

I had found all of the answers from this podcast posting that inspired me to make this blog. This made me realized how important it is for a Christian to be what we really are. I was able to locate it in Youtube of which I am posting it here in my blog. Please do watch it and be blessed.

the Saliendras in Tagaytay City


Enjoying the sight and smell of Tagaytay City.

With its cool climate and clean air, Tagaytay City, is the perfect place for leisure activities like picnics, horseback riding, camping and sight seeing. It makes for an affordable weekend getaway for most Filipino families, like us, the Saliendras, hehehe...

So off we went to Tagaytay City one sunny Saturday morning and we decided to explore People's Park, a popular week end destination among low land city dwellers and that of course include the three of us.


the Saliendras of Las Pinas City

The park boasts an array of outdoor facilities that caters to the different interests among family members. Other than the leisure activities mentioned above, the park also has the following attractions:

The park's cool breeze is ideal for kite flying. You can rent one from here.

The zip line traverse above a deep valley.

Only the brave and and audacious dare to zip the line.

Or simply enjoy the picturesque view along the footwalk around the park.



Marcus had so much fun that day. The trip indeed was a refreshing threat for the three of us. Come and explore Tagaytay City, and enjoy what it has to offer.
