Thoughts to guide us by

Amid the massive losses and misfortune we suffered from the Marawi siege, let us find strength and solace among one another – to ease pains, relieve grief, and extend a helping hand. Let us be God’s bridge to others... through compassion with action... a cheerful ray of light, a blessing to our Kababayans!

To treat adversities as challenges, not obstacles. They help instill discipline and develop patience in us. Certain situations we cannot change, but our attitude towards them, we definitely can! Let not the most trying situations cause us worry, much more, give up – they shall come to pass. The sun always rises!

Though the path may be rocky, tough, and strewn with thorns ... we can cross the bridge and reach the other side successfully! Pains and sufferings are life’s bridge to growth. From what is left behind, let us draw strength from our faith – to rise anew to better heights, much wiser, ever vigilant! To bounce back to a better, safe, peaceful, prosperous life ahead. To find humor and laugh again...

Peace, safety and abundance to us all!
