BEACH PICNIC WITH DILAAB STAFF AND BISROCK VOLUNTEERS

Another very good week:

Had a beach picnic with Dilaab staff and bisrock volunteers. Very enjoyable. I continue to be amazed at the positive energies released by the CD album as well as the possibilities for the future. We will now be promoting the CD province-wide and region-wide. An English version and a Tagalog version are being planned.

TV INTERVIEW AT THE CEBU CATHOLIC TELEVISION NETWORK

Highlights for the week:

The week in review actually began with a TV interview at Cebu Catholic Television Network (CCTN). Several bisrock band members joined two Dilaab staff members. A good way to begin our promotion of the CD. Our working hours have been interspersed with communal prayers (one decade of the rosary or a spontaneous prayer) for very urgent prayer requests was answered very concretely. A Dilaab champion was in the "lions' den," so to speak and it was the lions that became ineffectual. We have started to sell our music album (Nasud Ko: 12 Little Things for Our Country"). P150.00 was the launching price of the music album. Now it is being increased to P190.00 which is break even price. It is quite affordable for something which has been described as "world-class music" by someone who has rubbed elbows with some international music greats.

NASUD KO: 12 LITTLE THINGS FOR OUR COUNTRY )

Another very good week. The youth are not just the future but already the present. To say they are the future runs the risk of making them past by the time we reach the future. Finally the big day of the BISROCK (bisaya rock) Concert 25 August 2007 at the New Cebu Coliseum. About 500 young people came and they were entertained with sentiments of civic virtues put into creative original music. More would have attended had it not been for the heavy downpour of rain. The lyrics talked about love of God and love of country. It is really preaching without preaching. Another way is to look at the songs a seminar through time, with virtues embedded in the listeners without them knowing it. Already the composer of the of "following traffic rules" one of the 12 little things, confesses that he used to disregard traffic rules before, but not anymore.

DILAAB NEWS (13 TO 19 August 2007)

Praise the Lord.

Dilaab News has been launched as a full-sized tabloid. Last-minute sponsors show that God's providence is never too early nor too late. Roger Paller, our newspaper steward, will be setting up a system though that would make such source of grace less unpredictable. At P5.oo/copy this is also quite affordable and to think that the focus is on good news on the social transformation front.

Roger, our D News staff, did some market testing of our newspaper in the Mabolo parish. He left 29 copies for Sunday masses. Only 2 remained. There seems to be a market for them in parishes. The publication is self-sustaining through sponsorship and a very affordable price (P5.00) .

GRADUATION OF THE FIFTH BATCH OF PNP-VLS ( 6 TO 12 AUGUST 2007)

Praise God!

Graduation of the fifth batch of PNP VLS. Moving testimonies of change of heart by some graduates. A salute to the one who made a tacit challenge to his superiors to include chiefs of police in the next training group. Truth to tell, this is a continuing challenge. Subic VLS trains officers who are then sent back to the different regions. Still the process needs to be accelerated.
