Catholic Church Says No to Gays

Finally, the truth is out. No man is willing to change the law of God to suit his need and lust. Well, no Catholic man that is, which means millions of people by the last count.

That fact was clear after 200 Roman Catholic bishops, who have been discussing issues concerning the family at a special meeting known as a synod, took their final vote on a working document released on 20 October 2014.

DLSU Launched "Child-Friendly" Facilities

Press release from De La Salle University

De La Salle University's Center for Social Concern and Action (COSCA), in cooperation with the local government of Manila, recently inaugurated "child friendly" facilities for the youth-at-risk and their families living in Manila's Barangay 704, Zone 77.

Disturbing Message on Transgender's Death

The death of the transgender Filipino is a tragic incident, like any other loss of life involving innocent victims.

PHL Will Not Recognize Same-Sex Marriage

I’m not sure what it is in public office that sometime affects rationale thinking and makes elected officials loose all forms of decency and morality, but in the Philippines, that’s usually the case.

Take for instance Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista who has asked his council to look into the possibility of allowing same-sex marriage in the city. They can approve and implement an Anti-Discrimination Ordinance which aims to provide equal rights to all members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, but same-sex marriage?

Mayon Spewed Lava

In a report from ANC, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) confirmed that lava flow was spotted at the Mayon Volcano in Albay on 12 October 2014, though there is no reason yet to raise the Alert Status to Level 4.

"If we look at the past eruptions of the Mayon Volcano, we can classify its phases to one, non-explosive, meaning there is only quiet effusion of lava from the summit, and second, explosive eruption," said Phivolcs director Renato Solidum on ANC.
