𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗘𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗹-𝗔𝗱𝗵𝗮!

Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is an important Islamic holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It is a special time to remember Abraham's sacrifice of his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God. This teaches us about sacrifice, compassion, and coming together as a community, values that resonate across cultures and religions.

Wishing you happiness, love, and wisdom on this occasion.

Have a wonderful Eid Mubarak, our brothers and sisters!

A Happy Father's Day to all the dads, the not-yet-dads, the stepdads, the moms who are dads, the adoptive dads, the grandads, and the dads who are no longer with us.

Every one of you is the hero of our hearts.

Thank you for all the sacrifices. You deserve the best!

“𝗔𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗶, 𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻."

Andres Bonifacio.

Hunyo 12, 2024, ang ika-126 na anibersaryo ng kalayaan ng Pilipinas nang ang bansa ay nagkamit ng ganap na soberanya at kalayaan mula sa kolonya ng Espanya sa loob ng 333 taon at tumagal hanggang 1898.

Ito ay isang makasaysayang araw na ginugunita ang pagtatapos ng isang mahaba at mahirap na labanan para sa kalayaan. Ang Kalayaan ng Pilipinas ay ipinahayag noong Hunyo 12, 1898, sa tahanan ni Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo sa Kawit, Cavite

Ito ay sumisimbolo sa bagsik at pagkakaisa ng mga Pilipino upang makamit ang hinahangad na kalayaan para sa lupang sinilangan.

Magbunyi sa Araw ng Kalayaan!

Easter Sunday is a time of profound joy and celebration, as it reaffirms the central tenet of Christianity: that through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, believers are redeemed and granted salvation. Let the resurrection story inspire us to embrace new beginnings, cherish the blessings of life, and spread kindness to all. Today, let us rejoice in the promise of eternal life and the transformative power and love of Christ's resurrection - Acts 2:24: "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him." Happy Easter Sunday!
