‎“As a people we have come of age. We must move forward, just and firm but merciful and humane, closely united, animated by the same social aspirations to happiness, bound together as a political state by the wise dispositions of our Constitution and our laws. God helping me, I shall strive to this end.” says former President Sergio S. Osmeña.
‎
‎In a time when the Philippines faced complex political challenges and social divisions, the words of Sergio Osmeña resonate with profound urgency and timeless wisdom. His declaration served as a powerful reminder of the leadership qualities and national ideals that remained essential today.
‎
‎Sergio Osmeña, the fourth President of the Philippines, led the nation through some of its most trying times, including the aftermath of World War II. His leadership was marked by a steadfast commitment to justice, unity, and compassion; principles that are as relevant now as they were then.
‎
‎Osmeña’s vision was not merely about political governance but about nurturing a society where every Filipino could aspire to happiness under the protection of a just and humane government.
‎
‎Today, the Philippines grapples with political polarization, social unrest, and challenges to democratic institutions. In this context, Osmeña’s call to move forward “just and firm but merciful and humane” is a clarion call for leaders and citizens alike to embrace governance that balances strength with empathy. It urges a collective commitment to uphold the Constitution and laws that bind the nation, ensuring that justice is not only served but tempered with mercy.
‎
‎As we commemorate Osmeña’s enduring legacy, let us reflect on his example of leadership that is firm yet compassionate, principled yet inclusive. His vision encourages us to build a political environment where laws are respected, human dignity is upheld, and the aspirations of all Filipinos are honored.

On this day, September 8, 2025, together with the Church and her faithful devotees rejoice in the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary—the one whom God has chosen to carry his child, our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Mary, the Blessed Virgin, was born to Joachim and Anne, a couple who remained loyal and faithful devotees to God, despite being childless for many years. Her birth's a blessing, not only to her parents, but to the whole world as well, as she is destined to carry the child of the Almighty God, our saviour Jesus Christ. Mary is remembered of her purity, humility, and unwavering obedience to God—the one who wholeheartedly said “yes” to His plan, allowing His promise of salvation to unfold.

Today, as we commemorate her birth, we are reminded how she lived despite being a normal woman, she lived with faith and devotion to the Almighty God. Her example continues to inspire us to believe and trust in God's plans even in times of uncertainty.

As we rejoice the birth of Mary, Our Mother, let us honor her by living out her values and teachings into our own lives, that we can also be an instruments of God's love.
