During his homily this morning in SACOP, Among Edgar talked about how God lays His plans for us and how it is okay when we do not conform to those plans. He further elaborated his point by sharing his own experience where he planned to take jobs in Manila, yet no one hired him even after a long time of job hunting. He started questioning himself and wondered if he really made the right decision, slowly doubting the plans he had for himself.

When he was finally called by a company, he realized that long before he even sent his résumé there, God was already working on the sidelines and was way ahead of him. After experiencing so much rejection, he discovered that the job was already meant for him even before he knew he wanted it.

It is really true that there are many things a man would want, but it is God’s will that will always prevail. Truly, rejection is God’s redirection.

The Social Action Center of Pampanga joins the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines in calling for truth, justice, and accountability in the ongoing impeachment proceedings against the Vice President.

We support the CBCP’s appeal for a fair, impartial, and credible constitutional process guided not by political interests, but by evidence, integrity, and the common good.

As citizens and as people of faith, may we remain vigilant against misinformation and continue to uphold truth, justice, and respect for our democratic institutions.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

May Our Lady of Fatima guide our leaders and our nation toward wisdom, justice, and unity. 🇵🇭
