"The First person you lead is you"

-John Maxwell

The line that attracts me most during the two days Emerging Pinoy Leaders Congress held at Genesis Valley, Cabangahan Consolacion Cebu. As one of the young ones who make up 30% of the population of the Philippines, what could I do to make this place a better place to live in? That is why i am attracted with the line a tag above because it made me realize that i cannot be an instrument of change if i could not even provide direction to myself.

The two days experienced in the congress made me feel how big is our role in this society. :)

PMA visit 2010

7:27 PM pma; exercise; mass; christ the king; baguio 1 comment

My running mentor and pastoral companion, kuya samson tucay, a retired member of pma class 1978, arranged that i celebrate mass before the catholic pma cadets last sunday 21 nov 2010. we talked about Jesus being the ultimate commander in chief (feast of Christ the King).

After mass, we joined the cadet in their sunday run. the hilly terrain of the camp and the thin air made it quite a challenge. i am glad i had no illusions about competing with the young cadets. came in last and, by God's grace, still in one piece. praise the Lord!

Having brought no camera, i requested our pma friends to send some file photos, which you are viewing.

This was not my first visit to the pma. the first one was actually in 1979 when my group and i stayed for nearly 3 days. but that is another story...

Meanwhile, let us pray for the cadets, and the pma teachers and administration.
