Faith š
Thank you sir @Paterno Esmaquel II, greatly appreciated! Congratulations, too, for a well-written article. I wish to share it with my students in Theology, if that is fine with you. I would like to ask them what they think about this reflection on one's involvement with the social issues, as part of one's baptismal promises.
Meanwhile, I would like to share with you our update from the further Northern Luzon, here in our place in Bangui, Ilocos Norte:
Despite inclement weather, considering the strength of the typhoon which beset Ilocos Norte in the previous days, 12 young people were welcomed into the Catholic faith through the Sacrament of Baptism at the St. Lawrence the Deacon Parish in the town of Bangui. Together with their parents and godparents who came from both near and far-flung areas, they braved the uncertainties of extreme weather conditions to witness their children's initiation into the Catholic faith.

Good Thursday morning, mga ka-faith! And welcome to the Faith š chat room, @Ejun Obon !
Wow thank you for this! May I ask who took this photo, and may we repost it on Rappler? In addition, @Carlo Reodica , if you are with this group: How does it feel to be representing the Philippines and De La Salle Philippines at the Jubilee of Youth?
Senator Bato dela Rosa said the Supreme Court was "guided" by the Holy Spirit when it blocked Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment. In June, Dela Rosa also said this of himself when he voted to remand Duterte's articles of impeachment to the House of Representatives.
How do you feel about the way Dela Rosa and other politicians use elements of faith to justify their decision-making? Share your thoughts in this chat room!

Hello mga ka-faith, I'm crowdsourcing insights for my Sunday column, The Wide Shot. Share your thoughts and I will quote the best ones this Sunday. Thank you!
Here is Dela Rosa's full quote in a recent report by @Bonz Magsambol - Rappler :
"When I moved for the dismissal of the impeachment complaint vs VP Sara, I was guided by the Holy Spirit. When the SC ruled it as unconstitutional, Iām sure they were guided also by the Holy Spirit."
Welcome to the Faith š chat room, @young !
Happy Friday, mga ka-faith! Looking forward to your responses (if any) to the question above!

No po. Though, i'm a Muslim but i'm not part of the Tablighi Jamaat movement in the Philippines.
Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta, the Islamic advisory council of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, issued a statement affirming the permissibility of using Qur'an recitation and dua (supplication) as Islamic practices in various program activities.
This includes guidance on incorporating Islamic practices for proper and respectful inclusion in program settings.
The statement was released on August 1, 2025. | via Abdul Hafiz Malawani/Rappler
