Paalala mga bok at ter, ipagdiwang natin ang Undas upang pagugunita sa lahat ng mga banal at sa kanilang kabanalan, huwag nating gawin ang kumpletong kabaligtaran, ang paggunita sa mga kababalaghan.

Kung ating babalikan, ang Undas o All Saints Day ay ginugunita na ng mga Kristiyano mula pa noong ika-apat na siglo. Noong taong 609, iprinoklama ni Pope Boniface IV na gunitain ang mga martir ng Simbahan sa ika-13 ng Mayo. Taong 835 naman nang pormal na itinatag ng Santo Papang si Gregory IV ang unang araw ng Nobyembre bilang araw ng mga Santo at ang ikalawang araw naman bilang pagalala sa mga pumanaw na. Alalahanin nating ang Undas ay isang makabuluhang pagdiriwang sa Simbahang Katoliko upang allahanin ang kabanalan ng mga santo, at hindi ng mga demonyo.

"According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve math's, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm:

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.

When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider su***de.

Parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports and Arts.

Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.

Finally, do not prepare the road for your children. Prepare your children for the road."

Mga scam at modus na operandi na iwas this face-to-face classes.

1. "Puwede po magtanong?"
- If may lumipat sa inyo para magtanong. Ibulsa agad ang hawak na phone at higpitan ang kapit sa bag. May mga snatcher na kunyari magtatanong sabay hablot.

2. "Pulis/Baranggay kami, sumama ka sa'min."
- May mga nagprepretend na pulis or tanod tas papasamahin ka. Please 'wag po kayong sasama.

3. White Van
- If pansin niyong may nagslo-slow down na sasakyan near you, please kumaripas po kayo ng takbo or pumasok kayo sa loob ng isang convenient store, grocery, mall or any establishments then hingi kayo tulong.

4. Riding-in-tandem
- If ever mahablot ang bag niyo, please bitawan niyo po agad or else makakaladkad kayo. As much as possible, sipain niyo po yung motor para matumba sila then run.

5. "Pa-abot naman po."
- If ever may nalaglag na barya or something sa jeep tas may nagpatulong dumampot, please hold your bag tightly kasi may tendency na hablutin nila yan pababa.

6. Gitgitan
- If may mga pumaligid or gumitgit sayo, yakapin mo agad yung bag mo sa harap tas isecure mo phone mo sa bulsa.

7. Tutok
- If ever matutukan ka, please wag na po pumalag. Mabigat ngunit may ibang totoohanan po at walang puso. Make sure magkakahiwalay ang lagayan ng pera. Emergency money sa sapatos, sa ID, sa pencil case, at iba pa yung pera sa wallet para hindi ka mazero ng magnanakaw.

8. Sabit sa Jeep
- Kapag may sumabit sa Jeep or umupo sa tabi mo sa backride ng tricycle, itagong mabuti ang phone.

9. Harmless magnanakaw
- Itapon po palayo sa kabilang direction ang bag kung may humablot sayo pero mag-isa lang yung magnanakaw, walang dalang gamit at hindi sobrang risky. Mas uunahin niya pong tumakbo kesa kunin yung bag mo.

10. "Te nalaglag po yung ano niyo oh."
- Kapag may dumaan sa inyo tas may tinuro sa likod niyo na nalaglag, may tendency na snatcher. Yung iba bubutasan pa yung bag mo. Make sure kabisado mo location ng wallet and phone mo.

11. "Taxi and Tricy."
- Message your friends and family sa plate number ng taxi and tricycle na sasakyan mo if ever. Yung iba kasi nagdidisguise na driver tas hind ka na makakababa.

12. Footbridge at Eskinita.
- Please uso po ang holdapan sa foot bridge lalo na pag gabi. Make sure marami kang kasabayan papasok o paakyat sa mga ganyan.

Ka-ROPALI, ugaliing gumamit ng hand signals sa pagmamaneho sa kalsada upang makatulong maiwasan ang anumang disgrasya sa daan.

Importante rin malaman ito lalo na't kapag madalas tayong sumasali sa mga group rides para sa mas ligtas na pagbabyahe ng ating mga kasama.

Lagi nating tandaan

1. Don't buy an expensive phone. A new version will come out even before you've finished paying for it.

2. Don't buy an expensive bag. Replicas are scattered everywhere. Only a trained eye will see that it's genuine.

3. Don't buy expensive shoes. You can't walk like a duck trying to keep it from deforming with every use.

4. Don't buy expensive clothing. You can't walk around showing the small tag behind your nape.

5. Don't buy an expensive watch. A 100-peso vintage watch online looks good too, and all kinds will tell the same time.

6. Don't buy expensive undergarments. It's not allowed to walk in public wearing only a Victoria's Secret bra and panties.

7. Don't buy expensive cars. It depreciates with every kilometer it runs. Your 1.2 Million-Peso SUV will sell for only 500K.

8. Don't buy a huge house. Too much space creates distance between family members. They'll grow old and leave anyway.

9. Always settle for the justified price. You can do more with two for the price of one.

10. Remember that it's not the brand that carries you. It's how you carry the brand.

Grow old wise. Grow old happy.

❤ The journey is short ❤
An elderly woman got on a bus and sat down. At the next stop, a strong, grumpy young woman climbed up and sat down beside the old woman, hitting her with her numerous bags.
When she saw that the elderly woman remained silent, the young woman asked her why she had not complained when she hit her with her bags?
The elderly woman replied with a Smile: "There is no need to be rude or discuss something so insignificant, as my trip next to you is so short, because I am going to get off at the next stop."
This answer deserves to be written in gold letters: "There is no need to discuss something so insignificant, because our journey together is too short."
Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short, that darkening it with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy.
Did someone break your heart? Stay calm.
The trip is too short.❤️
Did someone betray you, intimidate, cheat or humiliate you? Relax - Don't be Stressed
The trip is too short.❤️
Did someone insult you without reason? Stay calm. Ignore it.
The trip is too short.❤️
Did a neighbor make a comment that you didn't like? Stay calm. Ignore him. Forgive that.
The trip is too short.❤️
Whatever the problem someone has brought us, remember that our journey together is too short.❤️❤️
No one knows the length of our trip. Nobody knows when it will arrive at its stop.
Our trip together is too short.❤️❤️
Let us appreciate friends and family.
Let us be respectful, kind and forgiving.🙌🏻
Because we will be filled with gratitude and joy, after all
Our trip together is very short.❤️
Share your smile to everyone....
Our trip is Very Short! ❤️

Dear lovers of our common home,
On behalf of the Diocese of Marbel, we would like to request that you offer this Prayer to Reawaken our Love for Creation, and to fast from today until June 4, 2022 as our way of expressing our contrition for the sins we have committed (and omitted) against the environment.
In a special way, we beg our Lord to intervene and pour wisdom into our decision-makers. especially the public officials of the Province of South Cotabato, to act against the Tampakan open-pit mining operation.

Reminder from COMELEC Spokesperson James Jimenez:

"Walang makakabasa ng laman ng balota mo. Hwag maniniwala sa mga nanakot na nagsasabing kaya nilang ma-diskubre kung sino ang binoto mo. Nagsisinungaling yang mga yan para mapilitan kang iboto ang mga manok nala. Hwag magpalinlang. "
