The Mandaue Chapter's 2024 Christmas Party was held last December 7, 2024, at Big Hotel was themed "Denim and Devotion".

According to Ann Marie Sanchez, head of the Programs and Services, this theme was chosen because Denim is our attire, and it is universally loved and worn by people of all age and background. It symbolizes unity and inclusivity.

Devotion reflects our BCBP community's shared faith and purpose.
Denim's durability and classic nature can be a metaphor for our community's strong and enduring bond. It reflects a sense of connection, both to each other and to our shared values. During the event, the Keoni Hall entrance was bedecked with red and green balloons and on the side was an idyllic setting for pictorials with a chair next to a fireplace and a Christmas tree with lights.

The event started with a Eucharistic celebration presided by Fr. Jerry Joaquin OVM.
Members dressed in their denim attires came ready to party.

Our master of ceremonies for the night were Madelyn and John Clifford Alon. They were a fantastic pair as they led the members to participate in the fun games and contests. Each Unit was asked to present a Tiktok song and dance performance and the very prepared Unit C was declared champion.

A raffle was drawn and several lucky members excitedly won prizes.
A live band provided music for grooving and dancing as the party progressed.
All throughout the night, there was fun, laughter and camaraderie among those present.
Special thanks are extended to our Programs and Services Head Michael and Ann Marie Sanchez who made the party possible with the help and support of some of our community members.

Wishing everyone a grace filled Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year ahead!

The BCBP Bogo Chapter hosted the Regional Breakfast Fellowship and Prayer Assembly last November 2024 at Ma. Lina Catering Services, Dakit, Bogo City, Cebu. The gathering was graced by the heartfelt life-sharing of Atty. Jess and Ruby Cagara, BCBP Cebu Area Managing Director, who shared their inspiring journey and reminded everyone that "Prayer Conquers All."

After the fellowship, the Prayer Assembly commenced, led by Mr. Renato Co, Bogo Chapter's Mission Head. Centered on the theme "Be Still and Know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10), the assembly featured worship songs that deeply moved the attendees. Members also shared personal testimonies of Godโ€™s unwavering presence in their lives during challenging times.

The event was a success with close to 230 people that attended from Bogo, Talamban, Mandaue, and Mandaue West Chapters all worshipping and praying as one.

A monumental Joint Breakfast Meeting by Mandaue Chapter and Mandaue Central Mission was held last December 7, 2024 at BIG Hotel in Mandaue City. The said meeting was attended by 73 breakfasters with some guests from other chapters and 7 first-timers.

The couple sharer, Noel and Dinah Alonzo, courageously and generously recounted their life journey which eventually led the attendees to be emotionally moved.

Their story began from living in poverty without God in them to living in abundance after encountering Him and all "devastating storms" along the way which taught them to be always vigilant and faithful as they live a Christ-centered life.

BCBP Mandaue and Mandaue Central Mission had a fun-filled Family Day last November 30, 2024 at La Mer Beach Resort in San Remigio, Cebu.

The celebration drew close to 100 attendees from young children to grandparents, all together for a day and night of fun, laughter, and togetherness. With the theme, โ€œTogether in Faith, Growing in Love,โ€ the gathering celebrated not just the love families share, but the faith that empowers them to grow together.

The Family Life and Programs & Services Heads would like to thank each and every one who supported, participated, and made the celebration possible.

As one BCBP Mandaue Chapter together with the Mandaue Central Mission, let us move forward with these cherished memories in bringing members and families closer together, strengthening the bonds that make our families and community thrive and flourish.

Mr. Edward and Mrs. Gwendolyn Ocampo's story is a powerful testament to Godโ€™s love and faithfulness. Sharing at the BCBP Breakfast on November 16, 2024, they revealed a journey filled with pain, struggle, and redemptionโ€” one that deeply touched the breakfasters.

Edward, the youngest of five siblings, grew up distant from his faith. Battling asthma, he often felt lost until Gwen entered his life. Gwen, who faced her own struggles, including the pain of growing up with an unstable father, found strength in God and became Edwardโ€™s anchor. Their love story, though beautiful, was not without heartbreak.

Two weeks before their wedding, they lost their first child to eclampsia. Edward faced a devastating battle with leprosy, and Gwenโ€™s health challenges pushed them both to the brink. But amidst their darkest moments, they turned to God.
โ€œWe cried out to Him,โ€ Gwen said, her voice trembling. โ€œI told the Lord, โ€˜Bring it on, but please stay with me.โ€™โ€ And God did. He brought healing, strength, and hope.

Their faith grew deeper through the BCBP community, where they learned to trust God even when it meant walking away from financial stability. โ€œGod provided in ways we never imagined,โ€ Edward shared. From rebuilding their lives to raising two daughters in faith, their story radiates hope.

Today, they serve as a family, singing in choirs, leading prayers, and sharing their journey. โ€œGod turned our pain into blessings,โ€ Gwen said tearfully. โ€œHeโ€™s always been with us.โ€

Their story is a reminder that through every trial, Godโ€™s grace is enough.

The Unit D of the Mandaue Central Mission continues to mold its members in formation by immersing them in leading Action Group Meetings (AGM).

Last November 16, 2024, Unit D4 had their AGM at D' Veranda Resto Bar located in Parkmall, Mandaue City, which was hosted by the Redoble couple with 10 attendees. The sharing centered on the Bible verse, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose", which was taken from Romans 8:28.

On the other hand, Unit D1 had their AGM at Villa Karmina Subdivision in San Vicente, Lilo-an, Cebu last November 24, 2024. The meeting was hosted by Deo Christian Cimafranca and Mayette Jucdong which was attended by 13 members.

The sharing highlighted on giving tithes to the community which was anchored from Proverbs 3:9, "Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops."

On November 16, 2024, the BCBP Mandaue West Chapter hosted a vibrant Joint Breakfast Fellowship at the Bayfront Hotel. This special event, centered around the theme "Conversion is a Lifelong Process," brought together over a hundred members of the community, fostering fellowship and spiritual growth.

Emcees Chris and Lyn Buscato graciously guided the event, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all participants. Their energy and enthusiasm set the tone for a morning filled with fellowship and reflection.

The morning was marked by an inspiring testimony from our distinguished couple sharers, our very own Senior Leaders Engr. George and Cookie Panares. Their experiences and insights resonated deeply with attendees, showcasing the wisdom cultivated through overcoming life's challenges over the years. Their genuine sharing not only captivated the audience, left most shedding tears, but it also served as a poignant reminder of the ongoing journey of conversion that each of us faces, which is God's grace in itself.

As part of the spiritual journey, Eugene Entienza shared a scripture response based on Romans 12:2-3, emphasizing the importance of transformation and renewal in our lives. His message encouraged attendees to embrace the continuous process of conversion, fostering a deeper relationship with God and a commitment to personal growth.

The fellowship was a resounding success, bringing together over a hundred members, including three first-time attendees. It was heartwarming to witness such a turnout, reflecting the strong sense of community and support within the BCBP Mandaue West Chapter.

In conclusion, the Joint Breakfast Fellowship was not just a gathering; it was a celebration of faith, resilience, and the journey of conversion.

Psalm 69:30 says "I will praise God's name in songs and glorify him with thanksgiving", and
this is what the 70 members of our community came to do during our monthly Chapter Assembly held last Nov. 15, 2024 at BIG Hotel.

With the theme "Faith and Gratitude", our Man of the Month Mr. Allen Torrevillas led the community in solemn prayer, praise and worship. During the mini-sharing, some members expressed how their faith remains steadfast despite challenges and all of them shared their gratitude for God's healing, protection, guidance and blessings.

After the praise and worship, our chapter treasurer, the Man of the Month himself, Mr. Allen Torrevillas took the floor to present the financial report. He continues to encourage members to give cheerfully.

Our Sunshine Girl Erna Gaurana, despite the impromptu assignment, was still able to fulfill her task with candor and positive vibes. She acknowledged all the November birthday celebrants and wedding anniversary celebrants and those present were honored with a song in front of the gathered community.

All praise and thanks be to God for such a blessing.

On November 10, 2024, Hotel Pier Cuatro provided the perfect backdrop for the inspiring event known as the "Free to Follow the Lord Weekend." Running from 8 AM to 5 PM, this gathering aimed to empower participants in their spiritual journeys and equip them with essential tools for living as devoted disciples of Christ.

Under the guidance of Course Leader Mr. Lowell Villanueva, the event welcomed 16 eager participants, all seeking to deepen their understanding and commitment to their faith. The program featured a dynamic lineup of speakers, each addressing vital aspects of discipleship.

The day commenced with a Spirit-filled Praise and Worship led by Mr Villanueva in the morning and Chief Servant Mr. Jann Benedict Pizan in the afternoon.

The weekend retreat discussions started with an engaging session on "Managing our Time" led by Dr. Donny Jay Yu, which encouraged attendees to cultivate habits that allow for both productivity and spiritual growth.

Following this, Engr. Jovi Ledon presented on "Managing our Finances". Engr. Ledon's practical advice on budgeting and responsible spending resonated deeply with attendees, reminding them that financial management is a vital element of discipleship.

The final presentation, titled "Overcoming Obstacles to Living as Disciples", was co-led by Dr. Mykki Arnado and Mr. Junie Alejandro. They addressed the various challenges that individuals may face on their spiritual journeys, offering encouragement and strategies for overcoming these hurdles.

The day concluded with a Holy Mass, allowing participants to reflect on their learnings and commit anew to their paths as disciples of Christ. This sacred moment fostered a sense of community and spiritual renewal among all those present.

The Free to Follow the Lord Weekend not only provided invaluable insights for managing time, finances, and challenges but also created a space for connection and growth among participants.

This enriching experience underscored the importance of community and support in oneโ€™s spiritual journey, leaving everyone inspired and ready to embrace their calling to follow the Lord wholeheartedly.

The ceremony, part of the 18th Batch of the BCLP (Basic Christian Life Program), brought together around 11 participants and 38 servants all dressed in white to symbolize purity and renewal.

The event began with a solemn Holy Mass at 5 P.M. As darkness fell, the church lights were turned off, leaving only the soft glow of candles that lined the aisle and lit the church faรงade. The candlelight created a peaceful atmosphere that invited everyone to open their hearts. Worship music played softly, drawing participants into the presence of God.

Led by Course Director and Chapter Head, Mr. Jay Benueza, the Baptism unfolded smoothly and remained solemn throughout. Some participants couldnโ€™t hold back their tears during the pray-over, feeling an unexplainable touch on their hearts. Others, lost in worship, raised their hands without even realizing, surrendering fully to the moment. It was as if, in that moment, heaven had touched earth.

All BCLP 18 participants shared afterward that they had felt something they couldnโ€™t quite explainโ€” a mixture of peace, warmth, and joy unlike anything else. This Baptism of the Holy Spirit wasnโ€™t just another event; it was a night of true spiritual renewal, where each BCBP member experienced a powerful, deep, and personal encounter with faith. Itโ€™s indeed a memory they will carry forward on their journey.

Since the pilot Breakfast Meeting of Mandaue Central Mission on November 11, 2023 at Dohera Hotel in Mandaue City, the unit had grown very fast due to its members' passion to serve and its mother chapter BCBP Mandaue's unwavering support.

Last November 9, 2024, we marked the first anniversary of Mandaue Central Mission by celebrating at BIG Hotel with a total of 112 attendees from its own unit, from Mandaue Chapter, and with 12 first-time breakfasters and guests. Our most esteemed guest was no other than BCBP Northern Cebu Regional Council Director Bing Sarigumba and his beloved better half Annie Sarigumba, bringing a sister from San Francisco, California, USA.

The celebration started with a Breakfast Meeting hosted by Borj and Vangie Villacampa, where attendees witnessed the inspirational life story of Sam and Vanz Sumaya. The couple sharer highlighted three points. First is that rejoicing in sufferings for trials are blessings in disguise. Second is to be kind and forgiving to one another. And last is this verse from the book of Joshua, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Right after the Breakfast Meeting, the program proper for the anniversary proceeded with Mars Canitan Jr. as host. A video was presented showing the milestones and the whole journey of Mandaue Central Mission followed by giving recognition to members.

The whole event concluded with a symbolic lighting of candles, reminding all members to bring the light of Christ to others and to "do everything in love."

On October 12, 2024, the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals, BCBP Talamban Chapter, organized a significant motorcade to promote the โ€œTapat Dapatโ€ movement, aiming to bring integrity, accountability, and Christ-centered values to the marketplace. This event marked not only a public demonstration of BCBPโ€™s dedication to transparency and moral principles in business but also the beginning of the chapter's vision to establish a Danao Mission. Through this mission, BCBP Talamban seeks to inspire a Christ-centered transformation within the business communities of Danao, fostering a renewed commitment to ethical practices and community upliftment.

The motorcade began with an enthusiastic assembly at Diamond Suites Hotel in Cebu City, where BCBP members and supporters came together to display the โ€œTapat Dapatโ€ message on their vehicles. From there, the convoy traveled to Talamban Gym, made a special stop at Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Church in Danao, and concluded with a grand arrival at Danao Port.

This inspiring event was made possible with the steadfast support of Danao-City Gov't, especially through the efforts of Mayor Thomas "Mix" Durano. Demonstrating his commitment to integrity and public service, Mayor Durano coordinated with the Danao Traffic Police to provide an escorted route for the convoy, ensuring participants reached their destination safely. The City of Danaoโ€™s cooperation underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in promoting values-driven initiatives.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to the Harley Owners Group Cebu Chapter for their dynamic presence and unwavering support. Their participation added strength and camaraderie to the event, exemplifying the unity that arises when different groups come together for a noble purpose.

The โ€œTapat Dapatโ€ motorcade set a powerful example of collective action for a more ethical and responsible marketplace. BCBP Talamban Chapter hopes to continue inspiring businesses, professionals, and community members to embrace integrity in all aspects of life, looking forward to the next steps in realizing the Danao Mission.

With sincere gratitude, we thank H.O.G. - Cebu Chapter and the City of Danao, with special appreciation to Mayor Mix Durano, for their invaluable support in bringing this vision to life.
