January 22, 2013, a day after the feast of Señor Sto Niño…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
All Bosconians all over the world joyfully celebrated the Opening Salvo
for the Feast Day of Father and Teacher of Youth, St. John Bosco. The members
of DBYC – Pasil prepared a special rosary in honor of their beloved Saint. This
was headed by the Youth Animators and Leaders of DBYC – Pasil.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Every evening, different youth groups were tasked to take part in the
novena prayers. For the ‘Triduum’ active youth leaders and animators planned a
series of activities after every rosary. It involved games, a quiz bowl, and an
obstacle course. On the first day of the triduum, a blind volleyball game was
organized. The children were divided into two groups for the activity. There
were lots of screams and running. It was fun to watch to members as they
expressed excitement in playing the game. On the second day of the triduum, a
quiz bowl took place dubbed “1, 2, 3, GO”. All members joined the quiz to help
sharpen their knowledge about St. John Bosco. On the third day of the triduum,
an obstacle course was organized. 10 representatives from three groups need to
get through a maze, and then race through a path with a sack on both feet and
then go through a narrow spot made of a straw rope for one to win the game. Of
course, everyone was in high spirits as they enjoyed themselves.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
During the feast day, the members were all encouraged to attend the
Holy Mass at 6pm in the parish. The Church was almost filled with devotees of
St. John Bosco. After the mass, a procession was held around the streets of
Suba and Pasil. After the procession, DBYC members went to the DB Gym for a
special rosary. After the rosary, a variety show took place. Different Youth
Groups showcased their talents by dancing to the tune of Don Bosco songs. There
were also games and the awarding of prizes for the past activities during the
Triduum Days. After which, all the members (around 150) were given snacks
(burger and tetra-packed juice) which was sponsored by some good benefactors. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It was a great evening and hopefully for the next years to come, may
the works of St. John Bosco be spread even more.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=109862654208263571" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“It’s
more fun in Cebu.” – a quotation derived from the recent Department of
Tourism’s campaign slogan, but indeed, this holds truth. This is evidently
shown in every 3<sup>rd</sup> Sunday of the month of January wherein we
Cebuanos celebrate the Feast of our Patron, ‘Señor Sto. Niño’. During this
event, we wholeheartedly give praise, thanks, and glorify Him for the bountiful
graces we have received.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We
are fortunate here in Pasil since our Parish’s Patron is Sto. Niño as well. We
had an Opening Salvo by means of a parade along the streets of Suba and Pasil
after which we solemnly celebrated the 1<sup>st</sup> novena mass presided by
Fr. Adrian “Andy” Mendoza, SDB (Parish Priest). In the Youth Center, we also
had our daily novena prayers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Traditionally,
Don Bosco Youth Center prepares a program called the ‘YOUTH NITE” as a simple
means of showcasing the talents, skills, abilities, and potentials of the young
people of the area. Above everything else, the ‘YOUTH NITE’ is organized yearly
as a way of expressing our gratitude towards God. This year’s theme and
storyline was that of a ‘Movie Marathon’ mainly because it was inspired from
the different movies that people have seen like Titanic, Charlie’s Angels, etc.
The program was a success for the organizers have evaluated and arrived at the
conclusion that they have conveyed the message of the program that no matter
what kind of praising you’ll offer to God, as long as it comes from the heart,
it is already in itself a way of expressing gratitude to Him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Within
the novena days, our parish had also prepared some activities and programs that
have strengthened the participation and confidence of the people especially in
showing off their talents. Some activities worthy of note is the Parish Nite,
and the Halad – different chapels and clusters offered a Sinulog Dance as an
offering to the Child Jesus. Of course, the DBYC also joined in rendering the
Sinulog Dance in front of the people of Suba and Pasil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
day before the feast day came, so many devotees woke up early to join the
annual fluvial parade. According to the local news, there were around 248
vessels who joined the said event. In fact, most of the vessels rented were
from the people of Suba and Pasil since it has been a part of the culture to
start the so-called ‘Disperas’ with a bang. Afterwards, the people paraded the
streets in which those who participated in the ‘Halad’ repeated their
performances with grander costumes and more-synced dance steps. In the
afternoon, people once again gathered inside the Church to attend the
Pontifical Mass presided by Msgr. Labajo of Talisay City, Cebu.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sunday,
the actual Feast of the Child Jesus… many people crowded the streets and went
to the different houses to celebrate the fiesta. So many devotees had much
prepared for their visitors and relative for they want to serve them the best
food possible. Somewhere else in Cebu particulary the Fuente area, tourists
witnessed the Sinulog Festival (dubbed as the mother of all festivals in the
Philippines). It was a sight to behold as colorful costumes, drum beats, and
awesome choreography made the event more exciting. In the evening, it is obvious
that people may have retired early to their beds from the day’s fun and revelry…
but for teenagers like me, there’s still enough time to go to disco bars to
continue to celebrate this great event with the thought that this should be a
day that would end with lots of good memories for my friends and I.</span></div>

Every year, there is that season that we always anticipate to come –
Christmas. Everyone, whether you are a child, youth or even an adult – all is
excited about this. Why? Because this is the season of gift-giving, family
gather, and almost daily parties. But do we really understand the real essence
of Christmas?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
All of us has his/her own way or tradition of celebrating this feast –
buying luxurious gifts and clothes, going to some place to unwind, preparing
for parties and many more. Yet, there are people who (in silence) choose to
celebrate Christmas by helping those who are less fortunate than them. They
reach out to seek for people that need their assistance esp. in the ‘material’
way. Don Bosco Youth Center is always lucky to have these people. They are
those that are responsible for the success of our DBYC Christmas Party 2012. We
had this celebration last December 22, 2012, 7.00pm at the Don Bosco – Pasil
Gymnasium. Through the support of these benefactors and the Salesian Community,
the DBYC members each received a “BUNDLE OF JOY – a package of items” and some
clothing and a new pair of slippers. As one DBYC member said, “Nalipay kayo mi
nga apil mi sa mga nakadawat ug pinaskuhan. Makatabang jud ni namu ug sa among
pamilya (I’m really thankful that I am one of those who received a Christmas
gift. This would be a great help to me and my family).”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Everyone wore a joyous smile. This joy is something that cannot be paid
with any amount. They were very grateful to the benefactors and the Salesian
Community. As a symbol of gratitude, they presented the best of their talents.
A number of groups danced, some of them showcased their golden voice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The DBYC’s benefactors were really blessed and will be truly blessed by
God for they shared their blessings with us. I believe that this is the real
essence of Christmas – the joy of sharing and loving. May God continue to
shower His blessings and love to the benefactors and to their family and
friends.</div>

Last August
16, 2012, we celebrated the 197<sup>th</sup> birthday of the Father ad Teacher
of Youth – Don Bosco. It wasn’t just an ordinary for all Bosconians esp. of
DBTC – Pasil since it was also the beginning of the Intramurals. Bosconians
were of high spirits as they coursed through the different activities for the
day.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
As a
commemoration of the event, the day kicked off with the celebration of the Holy
Mass. During the mass, the celebrating priest (Fr. Orly Borres, SDB) asked each
of the departments to stand and say a virtue which they commonly share. Some of
the virtues that was mentioned were Patience, Humility, Unity, Peace, Respect,
Enthusiasm, Love – these virtues are a reflection of an Ideal Bosconian.</div>

After the Mass, the different
departments had their photos taken. Bosconians showed off their friendly smiles
and cheerful character during the photo shoot. They continued to show their
smiles and joy as they paraded around the streets of Suba and Pasil. Though the
heat was intense, Bosconians continued to show their endurance and pleasant
manner. Arriving at the Don Bosco Gym, everyone stood proudly in front of the
Philippine Flag as the National anthem was sung. Then, a prayer was sung led by
a Junior Trainee. Fr. Orly welcomed each of the visitors and participants.
After the welcome address, selected trainees marched with the DB Flag as others
solemnly listened to a Hymn to Don Bosco. As the flag was raised, an
enthusiastic and loud “Viva, Don Bosco” was heard all over the compound.
Silence filled the covered court as the students waited for the Intramurals
Torch was to be lighted up. Once it was lighted, an earsplitting applause then
followed. A solemn promise was made by each of the participants as they recited
the Oath of Sportsmanship. Then, Fr. Jude Albarando, SDB declared the Intramurals
officially open.</div>

The day opened with a Holy Mass which where the trainees
proved themselves ready for spiritual service. Some trainees served as part of
the Priest’s assistants dressed in Immaculate white, while others helped in

<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end of the Orientation, everyone gathered inside the
gymnasium for the program. The program was certainly a revelation as Trainees
(mostly Junior Trainees) showed their personal talents and shared them to a supportive
crowd of fellow Trainees, parents, instructors, and DBTC staff. As we saw the
dance moves of the Automotive Juniors, Garments, and small engine trainees and
as we listened to the songs sang by the choir... it just goes to show the
giftedness of each Bosconian – the willingness to share it for the benefit of
others. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a trainee myself, I can’t help but be amazed at my
co-trainees. It would seem that all they know is have some fun, but given the
opportunity, they can also be very responsible in terms of serious matters. As
my companions shared their talents, I also shared my talent as I helped in the
decoration and design of the stage both for the mass and the program. Being
able to help in my little ways is a fulfillment for me, but I consider it a big
fulfillment to see my co-trainees, my friends, my brothers, to be able to help
share their talents as well.</div>

Don Bosco Training Center - Pasil starts its school year with countless blessings from the Almighty...<br />
<ul>
<li>The number of trainees has significantly increased in comparison to
the number of the previous year's enrollment. Currently, we have 38
Seniors Trainees and 89 Junior Trainees. Hopefully, these young people
would find their stay at DB - Pasil an enriching experience
(spiritually, mentally, physically).<br />
</li>
<li>Fr. Adrian Mendoza, SDB remains the Rector of the Salesian Community and Parish Priest of Sto. Niño Parish. Fr. Orlando Borres, SDB takes on the roles of Administrator, Training Center Director, and Youth Center Director. Fr. Jude Albarando, SDB ministers to the needs of the parishioners, trainees, and youth center members through the reception of the Sacraments. Bro. John Paul Rasay, SDB spends his second year of Practical Training. The Salesian Community is truly grateful for the work rendered by Fr. Abundio Bacatan, SDB as Administrator of DB - Pasil for two years. May our Loving Father bless him as he takes his new responsibilities at Don Bosco Technology Center - Labangon. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Fr. Andy would be gone for a few months as he travels to the USA for missionary talks. In Fr. Andy's absence, Fr. Jude will take the responsibilities as parish priest. May the Lord keep him safe and in good health.</li>
</ul>

Wear and Tear has taken its toll on the walls, rooms, and other parts of the building. thankfully, through the generosity of our benefactors, we have been able to make some improvements in the building.<br />

Unfortunately, together with the improvements that were made, we have been struck by new damages. Last February 6, 2012, the islands of Negros and Cebu were hit by an earthquake. The people (Trainees, Staff, Salesians) of DB -Pasil were all safe, but the building was another reason to worry about. Cracks appeared all over the place - some cracks are wide enough for a finger to fit through.<br />

Despite these problems, we are full of hope that Divine Providence is on our side. We pray for God's grace to bestow on us the support we need to continue our work for the young people of Pasil. In His time, we fervently wish that the entire renovation of the compound would soon be a reality. We would like to thank everyone who have generous to us in one way or another. Rest assured of God's reward for you in His Eternal Kingdom!<br />

Don Bosco Youth Center has received another blessing from our Loving Father in the academic victory of Jenyfer Villagonzalo. Jennifer was one of the 22,760 who passed the recent Nursing Licensure exam. Jenyfer worked her way through college as a scholar of DB - Pasil. Despite the rigorous study load of her college course, it is truly awe-inspiring how she has managed to balance her time between studying and helping out in the operations of DB-Pasil. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Congratulations, Jen! As you embark on a new journey in the profession you have chosen, may you always strive to be a witness to Christ's love for all and may you always keep the values that Don Bosco has taught you... Godspeed! ^_^</div>

Feast
Day of Don Bosco. Today, the trainees had the opening of their intramurals for
this semester. It began with a mass at the Sto. Niño Parish – Fr. Orly presided
the mass. After the mass, the trainees paraded around the area of Suba and
Pasil to announce the opening of their intramurals and the Feast Day of Don
Bosco. As they ended the parade at the DB Gym, the Opening Ceremonies of the
Intramurals commenced with the lighting of the torches, presentation of the DB
Flag, recitation of the Oath of Sportsmanship, and the Dance Contest per
section. For the Dance Contest, the Automotive Seniors bagged the 1<sup>st</sup>
place, followed by the Woodworking trainees at 2<sup>nd</sup> place, and the
Garments trainees in 3<sup>rd</sup> place.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">December 23 , 2011 was a day to be remembered for the Don Bosco Youth Center family as it marked the most anticipated event of the institution. It was also the day for all animators , leaders and members to celebrate the joy of our savior being born, JESUS CHRIST. Tonight was the Christmas party of the DBYC. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Everyone dressed up for the occasion and waited in anticipation for the party to begin. Unlike any other parties, the event started with a holy rosary that was animated by the leaders of the DBYC and followed by a delicious dinner sponsored by our benefactors. Each member received a packed meal of spaghetti, fried chicken,rice, and a slice of leche flan along with a soda. Everyone was so excited to receive their dinner.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After dinner, the Christmas Caroling Competition started. It was opened by our very own rector, Fr. Andrian Mendoza. Blazing performances were made by the different youth groups: Friends of Laura Vicuna (FLV) ,Sport's Club, Auxilium, KOA, Biblos and Juventus. Each member hit the floor as they showed their ever wondrous talents to the public. There were also production numbers from the members of the choir and games to set off the heat of the said competition. And to our surprise, a special number was presented by the Salesians of Don Bosco - Pasil. Fr. Andy, Fr. Boni , Fr. Orly and Bro. JP showcased one of their unforgetable performance on stage.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Finally, " Bundles of Joy " were distributed to every child. The sizes of the gifts were clustered A, B, C, and D depending on the attendance and performance of each member for the year. The children were called one by one to get their bundles. It was such a mesmerizing and amazing part for we felt the real essence of Christmas. Along with the distribution was the awarding of those members and animators who did their best to become role models to their fellow Bosconians. Awarded as the DBYC member of the season was Biblos member, Korina Tabay and as the Outstanding Animator is Sport's Club animator, Fritz Villanueva. After which,the awarding of winners for the competition then took place... The KOA got the trophy for 3rd place, followed by the FLV in second place and the Sports Club who brought home the bacon as they emerged the champions for this years Caroling Competition.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">December 15, 2010 – December 16,
2011 is the Year of the Youth. A year that is full of programs, activities and
formations that will strengthen the faith of today’s young people. One of these
events was held last December 2-4, 2011. During these days the Salesian Youth
Movement or commonly known as SYM celebrated an occasion entitled, “SYM NADS
2011” with the theme: ”Go and bear fruit – fruit that will last” and it was
held at Don Bosco Technology Center ( DBTC). It was a gathering of the youth
from the different Don Bosco settings all over the Philippines. Each setting
had its own delegates/ participants.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span></span></div>

opened by an opening mass at the New Gym of DBTC and it was presided by
Archbishop Jose Palma. Mostly the students of DBTC filled the gym and there
were also young people from the nearby schools and parishes. Before it ended,
the animators of DB-Pasil danced the theme song of CBCP year of the youth,
“Make A Stand”. Afterwards, there was a youth forum entitled – “Love Rocks”
which was handled by the Episcopal Commission on Youth. The participants
actively participated in the discussions. Some asked questions directed at the
guest speakers, who honestly shared their experiences. After the guest speakers
shared their experiences, all participants were assigned in groups and they
shared their insights and realizations on the given questions. Before the night
ended, there was a Youth Jam prepared by the youth of DB- Lourdes. There were
bands making pleasant sounds to our ears - youth nowadays really love these
kinds of entertainment. Unfortunately, one of the participants met an accident.
He sprained his arm and was brought to the hospital for further check-up.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The next day, the National Finals
for the Bosco Quiz Bee was held. There were 2 categories- A (High School) and
B(Elementary). In the category A, there were 5 contestants from different
settings including DB- Pasil, while in category B, there were just 2
contestants. In category A, the first place and second place went to DB- Makati
while in category B, DB – Caritas Don Bosco brought home the bacon. After a few
hours, the participants gathered at the AVR for the talk of Fr. Mario Baclig,
SDB. He talked about the nature and importance of youth groups as components of
the SYM. He also shared the life cycle of a youth group. To sum up his talk, he
gave 3 main topics/ ideas -“TODAY’S YOUTH IN TODAY’S WORLD”, “YOUTH GROUPS IN
TODAY’S WORLD” and “YOUTH GROUPS IN SALESIAN MINISTRY”. After this, the
participants had their workshops that were divided by sodalities/ associations
and federations. After the workshops, 2 masses were held, one was in the AVR,
which was headed by Fr. Allen Elevado, SDB, while the other one was held at the
chapel presided by Fr. Favie Faldas, SDB. Dinner followed, and after dinner, a fellowship
program took place wherein the different Don Bosco settings showcased their
talents. After the program, everyone was asked to prepare themselves for the
rosary as a fitting conclusion for a day full of work and fun.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The following day, everyone gathered
at the AVR for the concluding Mass. The organizers acknowledged the efforts of
the different committees and they also gave certificates for the different
settings in participating this event most especially to those who volunteered
themselves. Furthermore, it was followed by an awarding ceremony for the
winners of the Bosco Quiz Bee. There was also a handover ceremony for the South
Province/ SYM FIS as the new Secretariat of the SYM. After the mass, the
participants began to bid goodbye to each other as they will be going back to
their respective places. By bidding goodbye and going back to their settings, it
is now time for them to apply what they have learned in the said event. And
that’s the hardest challenge for each participant - that they will continue to
strive and journey towards life with the Lord and that hopefully it will bear
fruit… fruit that will last.</span></span></div>Don Bosco Pasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00760619593220768700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109862654208263571.post-91529852147809562002012-01-16T05:08:00.000-08:002012-01-16T17:19:07.049-08:00"Planted and Built-Up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the Faith!"<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This year's National Youth Day is very significant because this prestigious event falls within the CBCP's declaration of this year as the year of the youth. The event was held at Manila, from November 14-19, 2011 with the theme of "Planted and Built Up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the faith." I am very grateful that I had taken part of this event. During the one week long activity,I had learned much! I enjoyed every moment with my co-pilgrims, facilitators and animators. We can distinguish three images on the theme of NYD namely: "PLANTED" - calls to mind a tree and the roots that feed it; "BUILT-UP"-refers to a construction of a house; "FIRM"-indicates growth in physical or moral strength. During the first plenary session with "Planted" as our topic, I learned a new version of the song Magtanim ay di biro. And it goes as follow:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The first image which is obviously the content of the song explains that of a tree which is firmly planted thanks to its roots, it would be blown away by the wind and eventually die. For me, the tree is referred to as person and the root is GOD. If you don't have faith in God, you will not eventually succeed. The second image is "BUILT-UP". Just as the roots of a tree keep it firmly planted in the soil, so the foundation of a house is going strong. Through our faith, we have been built up in God! In this topic, I realized that we should respond positively to God's call, trust him and put his words into practice. On the third topic, "Firm in the Faith", I was deeply touched with our group sharing. The topic was all about the issues and concerns of the youth and how can we solve it. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The youth is the hope our nation. As a youth animator, I encourage all the youth out there to strengthen your faith in God. We are the future of the society as well as the church. Let us make our life meaningful and fruitful not only today but also for the rest of our lives. Let's stand firm in the faith, Do all works in love! Together, let's make a stand.</span></div>

of October bid us goodbye. But it didn’t hinder the celebration that took place
in the court of Don Bosco Youth Center (DBYC) – Pasil. A party which wasn’t
just a simple celebration, it is a celebration preparation for a greater
occasion the following day – the All Saints’ Day.</span></div>

reality to fantasy.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The party started with a hearty meal. After each one
of us had our fill, the program soon followed for us to enjoy the rest of the
evening’s celebration. Fr. Orlando Borres, SDB officially opened the program.
Each of the youth groups had its own representative for the “PA-STARAN” – the
evening’s showcase of presentations.</span></div>

their amazing dance number. A sort of funny children-dance was presented by the
Biblos youth members that brought giggles among the crowd. Juventus showcased
another face of their talents – singing, through the golden voices of their
singing sirens. A cute dance was soon followed by the fairy-clad members of the
Auxilium. And of course, the KOA members had their share of entertaining the
audience with their dance number.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As expected in every contest, there would emerge
winners. The band of Sports Club strummed their group to the third place. While
the second place was owned by the Friends of Laura Vicuña (FLV), who reminded us that we must be
united as one nation through their drama and dance. “ A musicale of the
classical story - Sleeping Beauty with a twist!” – this was the reaction that
the audience uttered when they saw the presentation of the group who bagged the
first prize- the Don Bosco Children and Youth Choir ( DBCYC). With the effort
they gave, they surely deserved to bring home the bacon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The Sto. Niño Parish of Pasil celebrated its 41<sup>st</sup>
Anniversary of Foundation in jovial festivity. Headed by Fr. Andy Mendoza, the
Rector of the Salesian Community and Parish Priest, the celebration began early
in the morning, 7.45 am, with a parade which was joined in by the different
groups of the parish. It was further enlivened by the reorganization of the DON
BOSCO DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS leading the festive beat of drums and the cute
groove of the majorettes. After the parade, everyone was invited to join a
backgrounder of the parish’s history that was done inside the church. The
energetic Fr. Andy (animated the whole audience) with icebreakers

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The Foundation Day would not be complete without thanking the Almighty
for the goodness and generosity He has blessed the people of Suba and Pasil.
And so at 5.30 in the afternoon, everyone gathered in the church once again to
celebrate the Holy Mass. It was presided by a true-blooded son of DB-Pasil, Fr. Orlando
Borres. Fr. Boni Bacatan and Fr. Andy concelebrated in the Holy Mass. </span></div>

to the Don Bosco Gymnasium for a fellowship of food and fun. The different
groups prepared food and shared it with others during mealtime. After the meal,
The Barangay Officials in close collaboration with the group JIBOREN, prepared
a program as a closing activity for the much-honored event. the program showcased the innumerable
talents which Pasil has truly been blessed – from singing to dancing, the
presenters really gave their best… with the cheers and shouts that the people
exerted, it was obvious they had a great time. </span></div>

mass of the trainees, Fr. Orly had it moved to this date to celebrate the

joined the procession as well. The KOA group, as it was their feast day,
prepared a program to make the solemnity more special. They prepared a short
skit, a dance number, and invited the choir for a song number.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A family close to the hearts of Fr. Andy, Fr. Boni, and Fr. Orly
visited the Pasil Community of Don Bosco. Roy Dael, his wife Hiyam, and their
children came to meet the priests who had their theological studies at
Kremisan. The Dael Family were close friends of the three priests since they
became the adoptive family during their stay abroad. It was a joyous reunion
for everyone. They took their supper in the community refectory. And after the
simple meal, they were brought down to the gym to be welcomed by the DBYC
members in the form of a program. They were delighted with the program that was
prepared but more so because of the warm reception they received from the
Salesians and the youth of Pasil. </span></div>

staff used the gym as the place to administer the tests so as to minimize the

doing their best to get good marks from their tests.</span></div>

their monthly recollection and this time they went to Simala for a pilgrimage –
the home of the highly revered OUR LADY OF SIMALA. They had their personal
prayer and reflection. Afterwards, the community had their daytime prayer. Upon finishing the prayers, they had their community sharing about their family background. It was an
enriching moment as it brought together the intimate realities that is key to
knowing each other better. </span>

People come from all over the city just to buy fish here. </span></span></h3><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Traditionally in Cebu, many folks get up as early as 3:00 am for the marketing routine. And when it comes to freshest fish and seafood at the best price, Pasil Fish Market has been the destination. It is said to be the biggest marketplace for seafood in the Visayas. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Pasil Fish Port is the primary drop-off point for fish catch within Cebu and the neighboring islands. As such, it is also the major source for sea food and fish, whether it is for ordinary fried tilapia to be prepared on the tables of common households, for the authentic Cebuano dish “linarang” sold in the city slums and streets, for the ever famous “sutukil” or sugba, tuwa, kilaw (grilled fish, fish tinola, and raw fish in vinegar respectively), and for even the lavish restaurant seafood dishes.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="more-954"></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Speaking of linarang, this is also what Pasil is famous for. It is a local food similar to fish tinola only that larang is cooked with more spices and ingredients such as green mango, tawsi, and tomatoes."</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<a name='more'></a>Jenyfer first came to the youth center when she was just nine years old. She is the only child of her father and mother who separated when she was just a toddler. Her father now has a new family and lives nearby. Her mother died when she was still a child and Jenyfer now lives with her auntie. Being a DBYC youth member enabled Jenyfer to develop her talents such as her ability to dance and her sense of humor.<br />
<br />
Four years ago she was offered the chance to became a working scholar - Don Bosco would pay for her university fees and in return she would work in the accounting office for fifteen hours a week. As Jenyfer herself has said she is extremely grateful to Don Bosco as without the scholarship she would have been unable to study as the tuition fees are so expensive. Jenyfer now has a bright future ahead of her. She is determined to give back to the center in anyway she can and be a Bosconian for life.<br />

The trainees joined the Walk for Life which started at Fuente Osmena. The procession of thousands holding banners, candles and praying the rosary proceeded to the Metropolitain Cathedral in the city. The Cathedral was completely backed inside and the trainees had to sit outside in the rain. The mass was celebrated by the new Archbishop Jose Palma. Today was also his birthday and the feast day of St. Joseph. At the end of the mass there was an extremely moving monologue performed by a young girl. She described the views of the unborn baby as her parents were deciding to abort her saying, "Please don't kill me. Don't you love me?".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Palma marks birthday with Mass, walk against RH Bill, by Ador Vincent Mayol</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For his 61st birthday yesterday, his first as Cebu's shepherd of the Catholic flock, Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma held a Mass and led 5,000 people in a penitential "walk for life" to signify the Church's opposition to the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At dawn, 300 members of the clergy, lay groups and other charismatic organizations carried roses and lighted candles as they serenaded Palma on the proch of the chapel in the Cebu Archbishop's residence on D. Jakosalem Street, Cebu City. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Palma hummed along with the songs and thanked those who attended the traditional mananita. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm very grateful for your sacrifice", Palma told the greeters who came with jackets and umbrellas as a light rain fell. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 11 a.m. Palma officiated a Mass to mark the solemnity of St. Joseph, husband of Mary and patron of the Catholic Church. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Palma cited Joseph of the Old Testament, a dreamer who is the "provider" of the people and Joseph the father of Jesus as the "guardian" of his son. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I wish I could be a good father like Joseph", Palma said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He reminded the flock to be grateful for the gift of Christianity given to Cebu and to grow in holiness and sanctity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Palma also called on the Cebuano faithful to support and help one another in building a Christian community. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In his homily, Palma urged the Catholic faithful to live up to ther Christian vows and evangelize, not just by words but also through actions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The prelate reiterated the need for priests to be faithful to the Lord. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I wish we take time to appreciate our priesthood daily and respond to the ministry in such a joyful and grateful way. We (clergy) should renew our baptismal and priestly promises daily", Palma said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In his message Cebu Archbishop Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, who cocelebrated the Mass with Palma yesterday morning, lauded his successor for his leadership of the Cebu Archdiocese and thanked him for giving him a remarkable birthday celebration last Feb. 6. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"His concern for an old man like me can only be an indication that he truly cares for all of us and that he will always be there for you", he said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Palma took over the archdiocese last Jan. 13 from Vidal whose retirement was approved by Pope Benedict XVI. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lunch was served after the mass. Palma was serenaded by the San Carlos Seminary College Choir led by Msgr. Rudy Villanueva who is responsible for Cebu's liturgical hymns. He later blew a candle on his birthday cake. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At 6 p.m. Palma let the penitential walk for life which started from Fuente Osema rotunda to the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a Eucharistic celebration. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In his homily, Palma said the Walk for Life is a declaration of how precious life is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The walk was held to ventilate the Church's stand against the RH Bill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Palma said the Walk manifests the importance of human life from the moment of conception. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"We are not dealing here with the life of a cat or a dog but of human life", he said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Palma urged the people to listen to the voice of God through the church. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"It's not our will who shall be done but God's", he said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In an interview, Palma said he is hoping lawmakers would denounce the RH Bill which the Church believes will lead to abortion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Palma also expressed hope that Cebu will hose the 2016 International Eucharistic Congress in Cebu, which he said is the cradle of Christian civilization in the Far East. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"I know our God is a great God. All you know this (International Eucharistic Congress) is among the surprises that we might expect because of His great love", he said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The International Eucharistic Congress will be held in Dublin next year. Palma said the last time the Philippines hosted the event was in 1937. </span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To coincide with the coming of the relic of Saint John Bosco in December 2010, December 2010 to January 2012 has been marked as the Year of the Youth. Saint John Bosco was the father, teacher and friend to the young so it is appropriate that the year commenced with the visit of his relic. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The year will celebrate the young, their contribution to life and to the Church and in the hope of strengthening the young in their faith and ideally converting more to the Church. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As part of the Year of the Youth there has been a year long nationwide pilgrimage of the National Youth Cross and Mother Mary icon. On Wednesday a replica of the World Youth Day Cross and Icon came to Pasil. </div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaj9H_dyLhqFAx6MC7Oc5FIowGZ0FLu30NKDUKlRFbCxoOGSwX6gmRIxBO45ev7gEcPNWKkZ1UdbrN7k3GiSDoaOCoBA3GPLbxcrc9KWJTzT3q4-gV71_XR2xgjrFUOZo9bTiRErP8wQ4/s1600/2435448957_5ea8463299_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaj9H_dyLhqFAx6MC7Oc5FIowGZ0FLu30NKDUKlRFbCxoOGSwX6gmRIxBO45ev7gEcPNWKkZ1UdbrN7k3GiSDoaOCoBA3GPLbxcrc9KWJTzT3q4-gV71_XR2xgjrFUOZo9bTiRErP8wQ4/s200/2435448957_5ea8463299_o.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">World Youth Day was started by Pope John Paul II. A cross was built, which was 3.8 meters high as a symbol of the Catholic faith and placed in St. Peter's Basilica in 1983. At the end of the year Pope John Paul II proclaimed that the cross should travel around the world to show Christ's love for humanity. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On April 22 1984 Pope John Paul II said, "My dear young people, at the conclusion of the Holy Year, I entrust to you the sign of this Jubilee Year: The Cross of Christ! Carry it throughout the world as a symbol of Christ's love for humanity and announce to everyone that only int he death and resurrection of Christ can we find salvation and redemption."<br />
<br />
Many claim that venerating the cross has led to conversions, healing and the young being touched by God. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The replica of the cross arrived in Pasil on Wednesday evening. The DBYC members went to the edge of Pasil to welcome the cross. It was escorted by many riding motorbikes. The children waved streamers and cheered when they first saw the cross. A procession then followed as the cross made its way to the Church.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once inside the Church there was a handover ceremony. The cross and the Our Lady icon was officially given to the Santo Nino Parish Church in Pasil for the night. Many prayers and introductions and explanations were said. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next there were Taize prayers said in front of the cross. The Taize community is made up on over 100 brothers in a small town in France. They consist of both Catholics and Protestants and their strength is that they are a "parable of community" - they have come together despite being from different denominations. The men accept celibacy and a simple life dedicated to God. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The community was started by Brother Roger during WWII where men who were escaping the conflict, children who had lost parents in the war and Prisoners of War all came together to unit as one. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lots of young people have been attracted to the community. The Taize way of praying has also been very influential on the young people. The prayers focus on meditative singing - repeating phrases as a way of listening and opening up your heart to God. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To learn more about the Taize Community visit their website here: <a href="http://www.taize.fr/en_rubrique8.html">www.taize.fr</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After the Taize prayers the young people then had the opportunity to touch the cross and icon and pray in front of them. It was extra special that the young people had organized everything themselves and the priests had a minimal role.<br />

On the Thursday evening there was mass in the church followed by a talk by Buboy about the history of the cross and the year of the youth. The cross and icon were then paraded around Suba and Pasil as the children followed saying the rosary. The cross was then loaded onto a van and transported to the next parish by the animators. There they handed over the cross and icon to the next youth group. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DBTC said the way of the cross around the center in the afternoon before leaving for the day. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The DBYC joined the Parish in the evening for the prayer. There were houses in the community which had been proclaimed as the stations of the cross. The group walked around Suba praying at every station they reached. For some who joined, it was the first time they had entered certain areas. </span>Don Bosco Pasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00760619593220768700noreply@blogger.com
