SIGNING OF MOA FOR THE FORMER TO ACT AS OBSERVERS TO BAC IN LOCALITY

THE SPIRIT CONTINUES TO BLOW WHERE IT WILLS AND ITS BREATH IS GETTING STRONGER:

Dilaab staff attended a signing of MOA between a chamber of commerce and the Ombudsman office for the former to act as observers to the Bids and Awards Committee in the locality. This is another sign of convergence in the country: a united front of people getting getting directly involved in corruption intolerance work. Barug! Pilipino, the advocacy outreach of dilaab promoting graft and corruption intolerance, is in forefront of the efforts to bring about this united front.

PHILIPPINES 777

This past week can only be admired as a radiant showcase of how much God loves the Philippines and that God does hear the cry of the poor. Hence our fundamental orientation at Dilaab is eucharistic. We continue to have daily masses and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Our dilaab team in Manila met with some bishops at an eatery in the vicinity of Pius X center at UN ave. It was a Spirit-led sharing of experience and insights. Food was also good. Started out early for Pampanga to meet a public figure. We proceeded to Subic Bay where PNP Values and Leadership School began. It is a testimony to the courage and faith of the pioneer trainors. Supper with the founder of the potters Leadership Academy. The S (God- centered) leadership module is now in demand all over the country and even abroad.

S-LEADERSHIP ACADEMY SEMINAR

For the fifth time, Ms. Selene Yu of the Potter’s Leadership Academy, a partner of Dilaab, gave an S Leadership seminar (i.e. a seminar on God-centered leadership) to around 35 individuals. These included a mayor, several policemen, businessmen, media practitioners, teachers, etc. This was a heterogenous group in terms of sectors but a homogenous one in terms of age. A very positive atmosphere was created and the seminar sparked a sense of great hope. A Saturday breakfast club (that begins with physical exercise at 5:30 am, then a mass, and breakfast) has been organized to sustain the fruits of the seminar. The seminar began and ended with the Eucharistic celebration which included the Feast of Corpus Cristi on the second day.

PENTECOST CELEBRATION

It truly has been a blessed week! Some highlights:

The weeks most significant event was certainly our anticipated Pentecost mass last Saturday May 26 withCardinal Vidal of Cebu as our main celebrant. We had invited His Eminence to bless the Holy Family prayer room (the particular statue is still to be ordered pending a donor) of the Dilaab office and unexpectedly ended up celebrating Pentecost with him. The mood was expectant and festive with around 300 people attending from all walks of life, ages, and sectors. Although people spilled outside the office, communication continued through a very effective sound system, thanks to the generous Filipinos of Saginaw, Michigan.

Pentecost is especially meaningful for the Dilaab Movement since dilaab, Cebuano for “fire” orconflagration,can also be Tagalog for dila and alab or “tongues of fire.” The movement was conceived in November 27, 2005 with the concluding mass (again with Cardinal Vidal) of the first God-centered leadership seminar (S-Leadership) attended by Dilaab staff and volunteers. With Pentecost, the movement is born!
