Padre Burgos:Huntington Beach 2018

 Another day at the beach!Where time is slow and food abounds!Laughter at small things and amazement at God's favor is the theme!
This year we headed to -Huntington Beach at Padre Burgos, Quezon Province.This resort is a bit new with huts just constructed recently. Karaoke was the worst part because some people who got drunk just can't stop. But inspite of that, my husband slept noisily. There was a drizzle during the night, so it was cold and damp in our tent LOL!
Our group this year was composed of 3 families with their kids -15 in all including me and hubby and the other group from the singles were also 15 -they were separate from us though.
The beach was big and we rented 2 boats to go see the other islands -Borawan and Dampalitan (we went there last 2016). Nanay Cela and Tatay Bert told us about the place because their relatives worked there.
There's electricity in the cottages, you can charcoal-grill,and roam around. There are small white- spotted jellyfish which aren't harmful but there can be the other kinds of jellys so you have to be careful. If you have kids they must stay in the netted area for safety.
The water is very shallow,the highest level at half kilometer is just probably knee deep.The part we stayed at is just ankle deep.

Himig Ko Handog Ko 2016: Season 5

2 Corinthians 9:6-11

Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
    their righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

-There will always be poor among us, but God, who sustains our physical and spiritual needs, will enable us to flourish and in turn serve others.I don't view this as a duty but through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, I believe that we can be compelled to help others without expecting anything in return.

This year's Himig Ko Handog Ko is similar to the first season because volunteers sang Christmas carols to the beneficiaries and gave them food packages right after-this is actually where the project's name came from. Ang Pasko ay Sumapit,Noche Buena and We Wish You a Merry Chritmas were the line up of songs this year.

Jeric Melarpis and Gladys Masilungan spearheaded this year's outreach program.We had 25 beneficiaries 23 of which is chosen by DSWD whom we have tied up with to be able to reach the poorest of the poor in our city.The other two are our members from Mauban and Padre Burgos respectively. Our more than 50 sponsors gave donations of cash and food items.Volunteers of about 12 people with the help of Barangay Parent Leaders, went to some of the cities depressed areas in the neighborhood near the vicinity of waterways Dumacaa River and Iyam River in the following Barangays;Dalahican, Mayao Crossing, Market View and Ilayang Talim.
