1. As a Filipino, the time of ‘fiesta’ is an important event within the community. During the Catholic event of fiesta, the local community comes together to celebrate the special day of the patron saint of a town or ‘barangay’ (village). It is a time for feasting, bonding and paying homage to the patron saint. Houses are open to guests and plenty of food is served. The fiesta nearly always includes a Mass, but its primary purpose is a social gathering of the community. On a day-to-day level, Catholic iconography is evident throughout the Philippines. Indeed, it is common to find churches and statues of various saints all throughout the country. Moreover, many towns and cities are named after saints as well.
2. Yes, as we are in a situation in our life that we are experiencing the hurt, pain, or even discouragement that are resulted of the poor choices, in this times - all we can rely upon is God, and through that season the Lord was near and helped us through the pain and discouragement a loss like this produces. He also walked with us and taught us some things that have helped us grow even stronger in our relationship with him.
3. This pandemic is not easy for me it taught most of us many things, the importance of family, health, and life. Life is too short, and I am grateful how God is able to secure my whole family with this unseen enemy of ours (pandemic). God is able to let me feel His love, grace, and mercy in this kind of trial in life. With such blessing in our lives, His love endures forever.
