The Church and ‘LGBT discrimination’
In recent months a lot of discussion has swirled around the issue of alleged “discrimination” against “transgenders” and members of the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex” (“LGBTQI”) community. Due to the bathroom brouhaha stirred up by Greg Martin Diez – who now goes by the name Gretchen Diez – the issue was catapulted to the forefront of the nation’s attention, as if far more important than truly pressing matters such as the plight of our farmers, the actual state of our national sovereignty, corruption and law enforcement issues needing urgent attention, and the horrendous traffic situation in NCR. Although…

But I made sure to myself the next time ill get pregnant whatever the circumstances maybe i will not do the same mistake twice. So now i have a very beautiful 1yr old african baby and i love…
Priest refutes senator: ‘Divorce will never be pro-family’
A Catholic priest urged Senator Riza Hontiveros not to eschew misrepresentation on divorce after claiming that it is “pro-marriage, pro-family, and pro-children”. Fr. Jerome Secillano, Executive Secretary of the bishops’ public affairs committee, said that such claim contradicts the provisions of the 1987 Constitution. “Is she saying now that the Family Code and our Constitution are anti-family, anti-marriage, and anti-children since they do not guarantee divorce?” Secillano said. “Divorce can never be pro-marriage, pro-family, and pro-children,” he said. “Let’s not twist facts just to suit a particular agenda.” On the other hand, the priest stressed that legalizing divorce in the…
Let’s not SOGIE the military
Lost within the frenzy of emotional arguments surrounding the Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) bills (HBs 134/136 and SBs 159/412/689) is the fact that a valuable sector of our society has been kept silent. Not much heard regarding its obviously important opinions, views, experiences, and insights as to the propriety (or absence of it) of the proposed legislation. Interestingly, the SOGIE bills are particularly keen to target this sector, putting clear emphasis that it is subjected to and covered under the impositions sought to be legislated. But unlike the LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender), whose permutations have…

Missouri Abortions Drop 10% as More Babies Saved From Abortion
In 2017, Missouri’s resident abortions numbered 6,790. Last year that number dropped 9.8 percent to 6,125. It’s a trend that continues due to various reasons: pro-life laws, the work of Pregnancy Help Centers (PHCs) and Vitae Foundation’s digital marketing strategies that help women find these life-affirming centers. “We have a team that harnesses Vitae’s research and translates it into effective messages that reach women and empowers them to take charge of their situation. Our messages build on their strengths, unlike the opposition who use women’s fears to their monetary advantage,” Vitae President Debbie Stokes said. Vitae has the numbers to…
Hindi Kita Malilimutan
Marahil isa sa mga kuwartong iyan, ang sanggol ko’y natutulog ng mahimbing sa bisig ng kanyang bagong ina. O kaya’y kinikilig sa tuwa habang nilalaro ng kanyang ama, isang anak na lalaki na matagal na niyang inaasam. Inilagay ko ang aking sanggol sa bahay ampuna. Ito ang pinakamabuting paraan na aking magagawa na iapdama na mahal ko siya. Walang nakaalan na ako’y nagsilang ng sanggol maliban sa madre na tumulong sa akin ng ako’y may matinding suliranin at ang staff ng Norfil, ang pansamantalang tirahan ng mga “ dalagang ina”. Ako’y napagsamantalahan ng isang opisyal ng military sa aming bayan….
