New Zealand Parliament

I remember back to my childhood, we live in a very small house  called "KUBO" in the town of Barotac Viejo Iloilo, in that house we only have one room, there we eat our meals, we sleep and we received our visitors, in short our house is not only a house but also a function room. We move to General Santos City for good, and God blessed us with a small house, this time even its a small but it is not KUBO, it has 2 bedrooms, with my 4 kids, just a little bit comfortable for us. Desire and prayer is what i did, because i know its just a beginning, until i reached the place where my sister live. Here in New Zealand, i cannot imagine the blessing of the creator on this land. How God gave His favor like this to this country but not to the Philippines, the peace, the economy and even in politics, not turning down my country, but if God will give me another chance to choose, i will go in this place. We went to the parliament one night for a prayer@Parliament, i was amazed because there are no guards in the Palace, we went inside and there are only two (2) guards, one Filipino and one Indian national who made the inspections. We meet in that occasion some Members of the Parliament, they are like ordinary people, no body guards and etc. and the most exciting is when we meet our very own Philippine Ambassador to New Zealand no other than Her Excellency Ambassador Virginia H. Benavidez, She is also a born again Christian, and she blessed us with a minute of conversation. How she wish that God will bless the Philippines. That wish is also our wish..God Bless the Philippines.

"Despedida Thrill"


Good to go for NZ trip, problem is my back and fort fare...we have a little thanksgiving party at home, together with my Brother and sister, Bong and Neneng, Nonoy and ate Susan, Toto Jim and Nang Ginalyn and of course Dede and nong Ben we have a dinner @ home, they wished me luck and they know something special will happen to my life and my family...they know my hardship and my status as a family man, without any hesitation they offer something for my trip...though it will not compensate  but its from the heart..many thanks to Manoy Richie, Denceo, Sheila and Ricric, Em-em and Gerard, Jon and Bambi, Girlie, Blaine, Nathan and Cedric and also to my sisters who never stop supporting me...Nene,  Nitz, and Rudy and to all my love ones and church mates who supported me in prayers, for without them this will not possible

My First Passport and Visa

          It was just a dream, a desire to have this passport and visa, looking back when i was a teenager, 1987 i worked in Olongapo City, particular in U.S. naval base in Subic Bay. I don'tc love that work much but because it was my very desire to go to another country i was forced to do the work as a 
Gasoline and Parts man clerk. I didn't stay long in that company (HB Zachry International, Vinnel Belvoir Corporation) I decided to go back home in General Santos City where i started looking for another job. That was a desire and a dream before.....God called me, and I serve Him...i actually almost forgot that desire, not knowing that God will give that to me someday....and indeed God fulfill his promise in Psalms 37:4.."Delight thyself in the Lord and He shall give thee the desire of your heart"...God is awesome...with the help of my sister Elizabeth, her hubby Nono, our very friendship Mae and Darryn Gadd, Angel And Hydee Pelaco...He gave me my Passport and Visa..
This time is not U.S.A., its one of the most livable place in the world......its New Zealand!
